10 Things A Virtual Assistant Can Do For You
This last week I got on a call with a potential client, and who told me they have tried to hire a VA before but didn’t even know what to delegate. I hear this a lot…you know you need help, you want someone hands-on in your biz, but where do you even start? As someone who has been booked solid working with photographers for the last year, I am happy to share 10 things a virtual assistant can do for you.
10 things a virtual assistant can do for you:
Check Your Emails; and keep you inbox from becoming a graveyard of unread emails.
Manage your CRM; keep workflows running smoothly!
Send invoices; make sure clients are receiving their booking information.
Following up with inquiries; no one needs to get lost in the shuffle!
Your monthly newsletter; keep in touch with your clients each month with your latest offers. I recommend Flodesk for an email platform.
Pin Your Blogs; get your images off your website and running through Pinterest.
Manage your calendar; make sure in-person meetings are set, sessions are scheduled and no double booking happens.
Market research for social media; tired of coming up with ideas for Reels or Tiktok’s etc? Ask your virtual assistant to send you trending ideas.
Create custom guides; purchased an Etsy guide but have no time to make it personal? Have your VA design it for you in Canva.
Post in your Facebook group; your VA can act as admin support in your Facebook group. Scheduling posts, interacting with members etc.
THESE ARE AN EASY 10 THINGS A VIRTUAL ASSISTANT CAN DO FOR YOU, IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO START.
But if you are looking for a little more in-depth help, you can find VAs who specialize in more extensive skill sets.
For example, my team is extensively trained in SEO optimized blogging. So our clients get the benefit of consistent, powerful SEO + extra content each week.
Another thing we do is Pinterest optimization & Tailwind management. I also offer CRM system set up (I’ll be your automations queen, my friend), so I develop a unique automation for each of your offers that is still authentic to your brand and doesn’t feel robotic.
In a nutshell, look for VAs that can specialize in exactly what you need.
Bottom line is, whatever you outsource - you deserve to have a life outside of work. EVEN THOUGH I know you love your work. If it’s going to be sustainable, it can’t be constantly overwhelming.
So if you’re in the place of needing help, but you don’t even know what would be helpful… these 10 things a virtual assistant can do for you are a good place to start!
