A question I get ALL the time is. What does a virtual assistant actually do?
The answer? A lot more than most people think. 👇
Virtual assisting is not just answering emails and scheduling meetings. The umbrella is so much wider than that and honestly that is one of the things I love most about this career path. You can build a business around the skills you already have.
Here are just some of the services you can offer as a VA:
📌 General Admin
— Inbox and calendar management
— Travel planning and scheduling
— Data entry and research
— Document creation
📌 Social Media and Content
— Social media management
— Graphic design
— Content planning and scheduling
— Newsletter creation
— Podcast support
📌 Operations and Tech
— Project management
— CRM management
— SOP creation
— Client onboarding support
📌 Creative Support
— Blog writing and proofreading
— Video descriptions
— Event coordination
— Light bookkeeping and invoicing
The key is figuring out which services align with YOUR skills and background then building from there. You do not have to offer everything. You just need to know what you bring to the table.
In Chapter 3 of my new ebook I walk you through how to build your service menu from scratch, how to decide on a niche, and how to make sure you are not taking on more services than your time allows.
