Virtual Assistant Internship

What Virtual Assistant Internship does

Virtual Assistant Internship, operated by Online Course Queen LLC (Wyoming) and headquartered in Asheville, North Carolina, is an online education and training business that teaches individuals — primarily women, military spouses, stay-at-home mothers, and aspiring digital nomads — how to launch careers as virtual assistants. The company was established online in 2016 around founder Esther Inman's personal experience as a military spouse, with the formal LLC incorporated in 2018; the platform has since helped more than 5,000 students begin remote VA work.

The product portfolio is delivered entirely online through self-serve course portals (vaicourse.com and brand sites like 90dayva.com and techvainaday.com), a gated job board, and community forums. Core offerings are the flagship 90 Day VA program (signature training at $1,297 one-time or $127/month for 12 months), the specialized Tech VA in a Day intensive ($997 or $97/month), a graduate-only VA Members Club with a curated job board of 40-60 roles per month plus live calls and templates ($297/year or $57/month), and the AI-focused VAi Membership at $19/month. A free on-demand intro class functions as a lead magnet, and the company operates a multi-channel content marketing stack (blog, podcast "Help Me Work Online," Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, Facebook group, and a weekly Remote Work Friday newsletter) that drives community-led growth and affiliate-sourced enrollment.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time course fees and 12-month payment plans, with a growing recurring contribution from Members Club and VAi subscriptions; the company also runs an affiliate program that pays student referrers monthly. The business is bootstrapped and founder-owned with no disclosed institutional investors, no patents, and no enterprise B2B contracts — it is a direct-to-consumer training brand whose commercial outcome depends on continuous top-of-funnel content marketing, course launches, and retention of graduates within the membership ecosystem.
