In this episode of The Organized Mom Podcast, Imani DaCosta breaks down why new and established virtual assistants may be struggling to get clients in 2026—and why having a PDF, YouTube channel, Instagram page, or posting in Facebook groups is no longer enough.
She shares practical ways to strengthen your business foundation, branding, visibility, and client outreach. She also talks about building genuine relationships through community and in-person events, showing up through personal branding, and reaching out to potential clients without coming across as desperate or overly sales-focused.
Most importantly, Imani reminds listeners that getting clients takes consistency, visibility, relationship-building, and the willingness to invest in yourself. If your business feels stuck, this episode will help you identify what may be missing and where to focus next.
