What is a Virtual Assistant?

A Virtual Assistant (VA) is normally self-employed, and provides professional administrative, technical, or creative assistance to clients remotely from an office at home.

 

The beauty of working as a freelance VA is that we can choose which areas we like!

My specialism is digital marketing, but I also enjoy organising invoicing (working on Xero), and just being generally helpful with whatever I can!

As social media grows, more clients want digital marketing, to stay competitive. Digital marketing support that I provide includes:

  • Social media

  • Keyword analysis and SEO

  • Email campaigns

  • Updating website content and landing pages

  • Monitoring Google ads and Facebook campaigns

  • Competitor tracking and research

  • Google My Business set up and tweaks

A traditional Virtual Assistant can help a business in so many ways. Based from home, with technology to access clients' business information securely, it works well for a growing number of people.

Often VA's can do things quicker, as things like organising emails, typing, invoicing etc is their speciality.

VAs are versatile and flexible, and tasks can include personal organisation as well as business.

 

Why would I use a Virtual Assistant?

By outsourcing tasks to a Virtual Assistant, you can reduce stress, and spend your time and energy on the things you enjoy the most, and that are most beneficial to your business growth.

Plus…

  • It’s a flexible resource, unlike employing a member of staff

  • No sick pay to pay

  • No holiday pay to pay

  • No equipment costs

  • Only pay for time worked - not time spent making a cup of tea!

Your Virtual Assistant can really become part of your team if you have a retainer package.
