Best when you want an agency that specializes in Kajabi work—building, troubleshooting, and funnel optimization. Expect agency-level depth in platform expertise; may cost more than a solo freelancer.
Best when you need staffed VAs for ongoing administrative and LMS support—good for scaling with vetted professionals across locations; tradeoff: less boutique platform-only specialization.
Good choice if you prefer a staffing agency offering experienced U.S./global assistants for LMS and admin tasks—suited to reliable, ongoing support; not presented as a Kajabi-only specialist.
Best when you want to hire freelancers with platform-specific skills (Kajabi, Teachable, Thinkific) and vet portfolios/ratings; ideal for one-off or flexible hires but requires more hands-on selection.
Yes. The key is to search for a “course operations” or “technical VA,” not a generic virtual assistant. Someone who knows Kajabi/Teachable can handle the backend without you having to teach them the platform from scratch.
Platform-specific specialists
This is probably the easiest place to compare several candidates. Search for:
Kajabi Virtual AssistantKajabi SpecialistTeachable SpecialistOnline Course ManagerCourse Operations ManagerTechnical VA KajabiMembership Site ManagerCourse Launch ManagerThere are currently freelancers advertising end-to-end Kajabi/course implementation, including course uploads, funnels, automations, memberships, integrations and launch support.
Referrals from other course creators
This can actually be the best route. Ask other coaches, consultants, authors, or course creators: “Who handles your Kajabi/Teachable backend?” You're looking for someone who already understands the workflows of a course business.
Rather than saying “I need a VA,” define the job around outcomes:
Course backend
Automations
Ongoing operations
This distinction matters because Teachable and Kajabi can involve fairly technical integrations and automation, rather than simply uploading course videos. Teachable, for example, currently provides API and webhook functionality for automating things such as enrollment workflows.
I'd give each finalist a small paid test project rather than relying on an interview.
For example:
“I have a 5-module course. Please demonstrate how you would upload and organize one module, set up a student welcome automation, test the student experience, and document what you did.”
Then ask:
Most important: ask them to explain what they actually did for previous clients. “I'm a Kajabi expert” can mean anything from uploading videos to building an entire automated sales funnel.
I'd post it as:
Kajabi/Teachable Course Operations Manager — Part-Time Technical VA
rather than simply “Virtual Assistant.”
That should attract someone who sees the role as owning the backend of your course business, rather than someone whose main skills are scheduling, inbox management and general admin.
If you tell me which platform you're using, roughly how many students/courses you have, and what you want the person to take off your plate, I can also help you identify the right type of specialist and what a reasonable hiring budget would be.
Finding a virtual assistant (VA) who knows the ins and outs of course platforms like Kajabi or Teachable requires looking in the right online communities and asking specific screening questions. Because back-end course management involves email marketing integrations, checkout setups, drip content schedules, and membership permissions, you need someone with technical fluency, not just general admin skills.

Finding the right virtual assistant (VA) for the backend of an online course is less about finding a general VA and more about finding a course operations specialist, LMS administrator, or Kajabi/Teachable specialist. These people typically handle things like course uploads, student access, automations, email sequences, integrations, and launch support.
Here are some effective ways to find one:
Instead of searching “virtual assistant,” try:
Freelancers often advertise specifically around Kajabi, Teachable, Thinkific, and related platforms.
Good places to search:
If you want someone who can take ownership rather than just complete tasks, some companies provide managed course operations support, including LMS updates, student access, email support, and troubleshooting.
A strong candidate should be able to do some combination of:
Course platform
Marketing systems
Student experience
Before hiring, ask:
Rather than hiring immediately for ongoing work, give them a small assignment:
You’ll quickly see whether they understand both the technology and the student experience.
A VA is usually best for:
A course manager/operations specialist is better if you need:
For an established course business, I’d usually search for a “Kajabi/Teachable course operations manager” rather than a general VA. That tends to attract people who understand the entire system rather than just individual tasks.
I can also help you create a job post that attracts the right kind of Kajabi/Teachable specialist if you’re planning to hire one.
Finding a specialized virtual assistant (VA) for a course platform like Kajabi or Teachable requires looking in the right ecosystems where tech-savvy course creators and certified experts hang out.

Finding a specialized virtual assistant (VA) for online course platforms like Kajabi or Teachable requires targeting platforms and networks where tech-savvy digital marketers and course operations experts hang out.
If you'd like, I can help you write a targeted job description or list the top technical skills you should screen for during the interview process.
Yes. The key is not to search for a generic “virtual assistant.” You want someone closer to a Course Operations VA / LMS VA / Digital Course Manager who already knows Kajabi or Teachable.
A good candidate might handle:
Current Kajabi-focused VA postings are very similar: they commonly ask for hands-on experience with products/offers, pipelines, email sequences, tagging, landing pages, forms, automations, and troubleshooting.
Best options I'd use:
I'd search using phrases such as:
“Kajabi virtual assistant”
“Kajabi course operations VA”
“Kajabi course manager”
“online course operations assistant”
“LMS virtual assistant”
“Teachable virtual assistant”
“digital course operations manager”
Avoid searching just “virtual assistant.” You'll get a huge pool of people who may be excellent at calendars, email, and data entry but have never touched an LMS.
I'd make this a requirement:
“You must have personally managed the backend of at least one live Kajabi or Teachable course.”
Then ask them:
“Walk me through exactly what you have done inside Kajabi/Teachable.”
A strong answer should sound like:
“I've uploaded courses, created offers, configured automations, scheduled email sequences, tested checkout, managed tags, handled student access, and QA'd pages and links.”
A weak answer is:
“I'm familiar with Kajabi and a quick learner.”
There's a meaningful difference.
This is probably the single best hiring filter.
Give them a 60–90 minute paid assignment such as:
“Here is a sample course module, three PDFs, two videos, and an email. Show me how you would organize and upload these into Kajabi, create the appropriate student access, schedule the email, and QA the experience.”
You're looking for:
One current Kajabi operations posting uses essentially this approach: shortlisted candidates complete a paid 1–2 hour trial to assess quality, communication, and attention to detail.
This distinction is important.
If you already have the curriculum and content, you probably don't need an instructional designer or someone to “create your course.”
You need someone who is essentially your behind-the-scenes course operations person.
I'd describe the position as:
Online Course Operations VA — Kajabi/Teachable
rather than:
Virtual Assistant
That will dramatically improve the applicants you attract.
I'd initially hire for perhaps 5–10 hours/week or a defined project, rather than committing immediately to a large monthly retainer.
If they prove that they can reliably take things off your plate, expand the role.
Eventually, the ideal person becomes the person you can say:
“Here's the new course content. Here's the launch date. Make the backend happen.”
—and you don't have to explain every click.
Must have
Nice to have
There are already freelancers advertising essentially this combination of Kajabi/Teachable setup, funnels, email automation, student onboarding, and admin support.
One other thought: if you tell me what you want this person to take over (e.g., uploading content, student support, email sequences, launches, tech troubleshooting, etc.), I can help you define the exact role and give you a very specific hiring profile + interview questions + paid test so you don't end up hiring a generic VA who can't actually run the backend.
Finding a virtual assistant (VA) who truly understands the mechanics of an all-in-one platform like Kajabi or an LMS like Teachable requires looking in specialized spaces rather than just posting a generic "admin help" job. Platform specialists handle course structuring, automated email pipelines, custom checkouts, and student migrations.

Finding the right virtual assistant (VA) for the backend operations of an online course is less about finding a general VA and more about finding an online course operations specialist (often called a Kajabi VA, course launch VA, LMS administrator, or digital product assistant). These people handle the behind-the-scenes systems that keep a course running.
Here’s a practical way to find one:
Before hiring, make a list like:
Course platform management
Launch and marketing support
Student operations
A person who only does admin tasks is different from someone who can build funnels and automations. Kajabi, for example, includes course hosting plus marketing, email, and automation features, so a “Kajabi expert” may have a broader skill set than a Teachable-only assistant.
Good places to look:
Upwork — Search terms:
Upwork has freelancers specifically advertising Kajabi, Teachable, funnel, and course setup experience.
Fiverr — Useful for testing someone on a small project first.
LinkedIn — Search:
Ask other course creators for referrals. A VA who already supports a creator business will usually understand launches, student issues, and content workflows better than a general assistant.
Strong candidates often mention:
✅ Kajabi / Teachable / Thinkific experience
✅ Zapier or Make integrations
✅ Email marketing platforms (ConvertKit, ActiveCampaign, Mailchimp, etc.)
✅ Basic video and PDF handling
✅ Course migration experience
✅ Launch support
✅ Student support systems
Ask for:
Instead of hiring immediately, give a 2–5 hour paid trial:
Example test:
“Here is a sample module with 3 videos, a workbook, and a quiz. Please upload it, organize the lessons, and explain your process.”
You’ll quickly see whether they understand course operations or just know the platform vocabulary.
Example:
Seeking Kajabi/Teachable Course Operations VA
We need a detail-oriented assistant to manage the backend of an online course. Responsibilities include uploading course content, managing student access, maintaining automations, supporting launches, and handling routine platform tasks.
Required: proven experience with Kajabi or Teachable and examples of online course projects managed.
A VA is usually best if you need:
A higher-level course operations person is better if you need:
For an established course business, the second person can often save much more time.
If you tell me your platform (Kajabi, Teachable, Thinkific, etc.), course size, and what tasks you want delegated, I can help you write a hiring post and screening questions.
The easiest way to find the right person is to search for a course operations specialist rather than a general virtual assistant. Someone who specializes in Kajabi or Teachable can often save you far more time than a general admin VA because they already understand course platforms, automations, and launch workflows. Both Kajabi and Teachable recommend defining the role clearly and hiring for platform-specific experience rather than assuming every VA can learn it quickly.
Here are the places I'd look first:
Upwork – Search for terms like:
You'll find freelancers with portfolios showing course builds, automations, and student management. Many list specific experience with Kajabi, Teachable, Thinkific, or similar platforms.
LinkedIn Search for:
Many experienced professionals work independently but don't advertise on freelance marketplaces.
Specialized VA agencies Agencies often pre-vet assistants with experience supporting coaches, consultants, and course creators, so you spend less time interviewing.
Creator communities Facebook groups, Slack communities, and creator forums dedicated to Kajabi or Teachable often have members looking for client work or referrals from other course creators.
Instead of asking, "Do you know Kajabi?", ask whether they've actually handled tasks like:
Request:
Rather than relying on interviews, pay candidates for a 2–3 hour trial project, such as:
You'll quickly see who is detail-oriented.
Rates vary by experience and location, but a rough guide is:
A title like this tends to attract stronger candidates than simply "Virtual Assistant":
Kajabi Course Operations Specialist (Virtual Assistant)
Include responsibilities such as:
This helps filter for candidates who already understand the ecosystem instead of applicants with only general administrative experience.
If your business is growing, you may eventually find that a Course Operations Manager is a better fit than a traditional VA. They typically take ownership of the entire back end of your course business—from launches to automations and student experience—rather than just completing assigned tasks.
Finding a qualified virtual assistant (VA) who knows the ins and outs of course platforms like Kajabi or Teachable requires looking in the right freelance marketplaces, niche agencies, and communities.
