Virtual Assistant as a content creator

While I’ve been quite open about my belief that a Virtual Assistant should not be researching and writing your content for you, there’s still plenty of content creation that they can do:

  • Create quotes & graphics for sharing
  • Take dot points you provide and make them into an article for sharing
  • Take dictated notes you provide and make them into an article
  • Make posts about where you’re working / What you’re currently working on
  • Upload photos of current jobs
  • Share testimonials from clients on your social media accounts

Virtual Assistant as a moderator

  • Respond to questions and comments 
  • Advise you of comments and questions that require more expert responses
  • Organise and moderate conversations and webinars
  • Delete inappropriate posts on your social media accounts

Virtual Assistant as technical support

  • Help you with any technical issues you may encounter on your social media accounts
  • Respond to clients who are having technical issues with your social media accounts or website
  • Schedule all your posts and make sure they go out on time

Virtual Assistant as branding support

  • Create avatars, profile images and cover images for your social media accounts
  • Upload blurbs to your social media accounts to attract interest for people searching in your industry
  • Make sure that branding is consistent across all platforms

Virtual Assistant as researcher

Hopefully, that’s given you some inspiration on how a Virtual Assistant could help you manage your social media. Remember, there’s no need to be limited by my suggestions, instead think about what you like and dislike, what takes you a lot of time and what needs to get done but isn’t getting done. Then talk to your Virtual Assistant and see if they can offer those services, or start looking for a Virtual Assistant who offers the services you need.
