The VA with a passion for paperwork! The Admin Assistant typically helps with general office management and admin tasks that can take up a lot of time for their clients and often take them away from the areas of their business that need them. What does it entail?

  • Content Marketing

Marketing a business can be extremely time-consuming and a lot for one person to wrap their head around. It is a full time job in itself and not so easy to keep up with alongside so many other responsibilities that come with running your business, especially if you don’t have a marketing background.

  • Account set-up and optimisation

  • Market research and audience outreach

  • Content Creation

  • Engagement

  • The growth of your account

Social media is one of the best ways to market your business for free and gives you a direct line of communication with audiences and customers. Social media is an essential part of modern-day marketing, and social media assistants are highly sought after.

The Tech Assistant

The go-to for all of your technical needs. You can’t be an expert in everything, this VA could be the one for you. A technical VA can help with tasks like…

  • Coding

  • Software and Plugin updates

  • Website Maintenance

  • Programming

  • Streamlining and systemising

All are necessary for a business to run smoothly but only a few examples of many. These tasks can be difficult, time-consuming and stressful. If they are done incorrectly, they won’t work, which is why there is such a huge need for Tech VAs as well.
