[MUSIC PLAYING] JENNY GUY: Hi, y'all. It is Thursday, May 21st. And believe it or not, we are heading into Memorial Day weekend. What does a holiday weekend look like during coronavirus? Well, buckle up, buttercups, because we are about to find out. Welcome to Teal Talk. I'm Jenny Guy, your host and the director of marketing for Mediavine.



And I asked this right as we were getting started, but for those that are trickling in and joining us now, hello. Post in the comments and tell us what you're doing for this holiday weekend during the pandemic. How is it different from what you'd usually be doing for the official kickoff this summer? If it's changed at all, let us know in the comments.



And then in news of other hard to believe milestones, today's episode of Teal Talk is the 17th in our second season, as well as our season 2 finale. What? That's crazy. We have had almost 80 lives since we started producing these a little over two years ago, on every topic under the sun that's relevant to content creators.



I get to talk with super smart experts about SEO and beanie babies and learn, and it's honestly, it's the best job. And we wouldn't be here without the support of my team, and you guys are awesome audience. So thank you from the bottom of my black little heart for watching. I appreciate it.



And enough with the feelings now because my boss hates sappy stuff. So let's get onto the topic du jour. What do you know about virtual assistants? Have you been one? Are you trying to hire one? What is your experience in this area? My guest here today is here to help us with everything VA. She knows all the things, and it's past time to meet her.



Kayla Sloan is a business coach for virtual assistants and a business systems and outsourcing expert. Kayla has been working with successful entrepreneurs since 2014. Her one-on-one consulting program Six Figure Systems helps online business owners scale with systems and building a virtual team. She's also the founder of 10K VA, her flagship program where she teaches virtual assistants how to earn up to $10,000 per month working online. Welcome. Thank you for joining us, Kayla.



KAYLA SLOAN: Thank you so much for having me. I'm really excited to be here.



JENNY GUY: We're excited, too, to have you. We chose this topic because we were looking for things that we hadn't covered and that might be interesting to people during this very strange time that we're in.



So starting out, everyone in the comments, post in the comments. Tell us about your experience as a VA or hiring a VA or anything VA. And if you've got questions for Kayla, shoot us a comment, and we will make sure to get you taken care of immediately, or as quickly as we can.



So as I said in the intro, VAs are kind of your thing. So let's just say, why do you love them so much? How did you get into the VA life? Tell us a little bit about your experience.



KAYLA SLOAN: Yeah, so my experience was that I kind of got into the VA thing, so to speak, a little bit on accident, actually. I started blogging back in, I think it was 2013,
