The link in bio built for virtual assistants
Clients hand you their inbox, their calendar and their passwords. Folio gives them one professional page that says you're safe to trust, with a private way to get paid.
By Julian Fella, co-founder of Folio · Updated August 17, 2026
For a virtual assistant the best link in bio is one page that makes a stranger comfortable handing you their inbox. Folio puts your services, packages, testimonial and tools on a designed grid, with payment details for hour packages behind a password. It's free, and Folio never touches your money.
Trust is the product, and a messy link undermines it.
A VA's client is about to give a stranger access to their business. They decide from your online presence, and a bare Instagram profile or a link list with no substance reads as a hobby. The busy founder who needs you most has the least patience for piecing you together from a bio, two highlights and a DM conversation. You don't need a website, you need one page that looks like a real operation: what you do, what it costs, who vouches for you and how to start.
The blocks that matter for you.
A text block listing exactly what you take off someone's plate, inbox, scheduling, travel, invoicing, whatever your menu is. Your packages with hours and prices, so the fit question answers itself before the call. A client testimonial with a name, because trust transfers from people, not paragraphs. The tools you work in, a contact block and a Pay-Me block for the hour packages. Together they read as an operation, and an operation is what gets hired.
What to put in your link in bio as a virtual assistant
- 1
Your service menu
A text block naming exactly what you handle: inbox, calendar, travel, bookkeeping. Specific beats "general admin support".
- 2
Packages with hours and prices
Ten hours, twenty hours, monthly retainer. Clear prices filter out the clients who were never going to pay them.
- 3
A named testimonial
One real quote from a client, with their name and business. It's the strongest trust signal a VA can show.
- 4
The tools you work in
Notion, Google Workspace, Slack, QuickBooks. A founder scans for their stack and relaxes when they find it.
- 5
A Pay-Me block
Your payment details behind a password, so a package of hours gets paid before the clock starts.
Set it up in ten minutes
- 1
Claim your handle
folio.link/your-name. Sign in with Google or a mail code, no password to invent.
- 2
Write your menu and packages
What you take off someone's plate and what a block of hours costs. Plain sentences, real prices.
- 3
Add a testimonial, tools and Pay-Me
One named client quote, your toolstack and a password on your payment details.
- 4
Paste the link everywhere
Instagram bio, LinkedIn, the reply you send when someone in a founder group asks for a VA.
Hourly packages, paid before the month starts.
VAs get burned by the drip: hours worked, invoice sent, silence. Selling packages of hours upfront fixes the cash flow, and Pay-Me makes it routine. Share the password when the client books, they unlock your details and pay for the block of hours directly, bank, PayPal or Wise, then the clock starts. Retainer clients pay the same link every month. There's no fee taken and no invoicing tool in the middle. You keep 100%, and Folio never touches the money.
Questions
Should I list my prices?
For VAs, usually yes. Packages with clear hours and prices filter out the clients who were never going to pay them, before the discovery call.
How do clients pay for a package of hours?
Share your Pay-Me password with the client who booked. They pay you directly, bank, PayPal or Wise, and you start the hours once it lands.
Do I need a website as a VA?
No. One page with services, prices, a testimonial and a payment path covers what a client checks. That's exactly what your Folio is.
How do I look trustworthy to a new client?
A named testimonial, clear prices and a tidy page. Vagueness is what reads as risky, so be specific everywhere.
Can I list the tools I work in?
Yes, in a text block. Founders scan for their own stack, and finding it answers the "will onboarding be painful" question silently.
Is it really free?
Yes. Free, no paywall, no transaction fees and no credit card to start.
