Arianna Vernier: Hey y’all, welcome back to the Virtual Assistant Mama Podcast. In today’s episode, I’m going to share with you three highly profitable virtual assistant services that you can offer. I know a lot of people when they jump into the virtual assistant world, they’ll go and offer administrative services or simple things like that, that are easy to just dive right into and kind of learn as you go.
And that’s totally fine. I just don’t want you to stay there because that’s really not where the profitability lies. You need to find a service that businesses are willing to pay more for. And the services that they are willing to do that for are ones that actually help them grow their business, reach new people. Services that help them stand out and come across as the expert in their field. Those are the services that they are going to pay the most for. So the first service that I have for you in today’s episode that is highly profitable and a great service to go into is a Pinterest manager. If you didn’t already know, you can get paid to play on Pinterest, and as a Pinterest manager, you simply help create pins, and create a strategy behind those pins, like where are the pins actually going to direct people to, and most of the time, a Pinterest manager, their goal for the For their clients is to help build the client’s email list and get more traffic to their website so that they can see all of the products and services that the client offers.
And then that will eventually lead to more sales. So it’s not, it’s probably not going to boost sales right away. But it’s meant to get them to the website, get them to subscribe to the email list, get them to get on that sequence where they’re going to be nurtured until they can build that know, like, and trust factor and then purchase. So Pinterest managers will create pins to send people over to blog posts, recipes, even Etsy. All those kinds of things Pinterest managers can do. And so there’s a lot of strategy that goes behind it and they do a lot of different things for their clients. Sometimes you’ll even see Pinterest managers who specialize in Pinterest and blogging. So they’ll help their clients with both. And that’s a really good service to kind of intermingle together. The second highly profitable virtual assistant service that you can offer is becoming a copywriter. As a copywriter, you can write any written content in a business. So, if you go to a business’s website and you are reading info on their site, that was probably done by a copywriter.
Social media captions can be done by a copywriter. Emails that go out to people from businesses, that was probably done by a copywriter. Even sometimes as a copywriter you can even get paid to ghostwrite a book for somebody. So like they send you kind of the outline and you just expand upon it, write the whole book, but then it has the your client’s name on it as the author. So that’s really cool. This is a really good service if you really love to write, and you really love to figure out how people’s minds work, and what’s going to get them to keep reading and not stop, and just how to really effectively tell a story. So copywriting is really great if you love to write, if you’re, You know, a lot of you I know are language arts teachers. This might be a really good service for you. It’s something that a lot of businesses need because they need someone who’s going to be able to connect with their subscribers to be able to get them to keep reading and eventually purchase whatever they’re offering. So they need to be able to do that through the written word, and that is what they will hire a copywriter for. The third highly profitable virtual assistant service that you can offer is podcast management. A lot of businesses these days are starting podcasts. But then they end up kind of falling off the wagon because they and they see how much work ends up having to go into it And they just don’t have the time and energy to do all of that So there are a lot of businesses out there who are looking for podcast managers to manage everything for them So literally all they have to do is sit down record an episode and they’re done So as a podcast manager, you can help come up with topic ideas, come up with the schedule.
You can hold their community on like what episodes they want to see. You’ll edit the episodes, create the audiograms, schedule the social media posts, the emails. All those things can fall under the head of a podcast manager. So since you have your hands in a lot of different buckets, but all related to the client’s podcast, it’s nice for you if you enjoy like a variety, doing a variety of things, then that might be a really great service for you to choose. Many of these three services are fairly easy to just kind of dive into and start learning like alongside Actually offering the services for your clients. You don’t need to take a ton of courses or get certified in any of this. Of course, the course is going to help you and like get you set up for success, but I don’t want you to just keep yourself from doing it if you can’t afford a course right now or anything like that. So again, the three highly profitable virtual assistant services that you can offer are Pinterest management, copywriter, And a podcast manager. All right, y’all.
