Korshub's take

Search skills built for real research work

Most people know how to Google something; fewer can reliably find precise, accurate information fast. This free course teaches the search techniques and Google operators that turn casual searching into a genuine research skill, taught by a working virtual assistant who has used these methods professionally for over a decade.

Who it's for

Virtual, executive, and personal assistants who are regularly asked to research products, verify information, or track down contacts on a client's behalf, though the techniques apply to anyone who searches online.

Key takeaways

Basic and advanced Google search techniques using special operators
How to check the validity of the sources you find
Reverse image searches to spot rental and vacation scams
Several proven methods for finding a specific person's email address

Each lesson covers one concept, so the whole course is designed to be worked through in about half an hour.

About this course

This is a FREE course. My goal is to give you the know-how to be able to search anything clients through your way.

It's quick, each lesson covers one main concept. Within 30 minutes, you'll have some new tips and tricks to help you Google anything like a pro!

Everyone knows how to "Google," but not everyone can call themselves a Google pro. This course will teach you how to use Google Search like a pro and find accurate information fast. Every time.

**Although this course was created with executive, virtual, and personal assistants in mind, everyone will benefit from the content in this course.**

About the instructor (and her search skills):

I'm Erin, a freelance Virtual Assistant, and VA Mentor. Some of my most in-demand services include deep-dive research and email-finding. I was trained in advanced search techniques in 2012, and have since kept up with the latest Google search trends.

My clients often claim that I must have access to "a different Google than they do."

Shopify hired me as an independent researcher to help develop stories on the history of sneakers, the Window's Solitaire creator, YouTube, and believe it or not - baked potatoes.

My proudest search-related accomplishment is when I tracked down Pussy Riot, the Russian feminist protest punk rock and performance art group in 2014. At that time, there was no information about how to get in touch with the group members. After jumping through some considerable search-hoops, I connected with the group and hired them to speak at one of their first US conferences (on behalf of a client).

All in days work.
