[00:00:00] I had someone reach out recently wondering which virtual assistant services are the most in demand. Which services do the most business owners need? Because if you’re offering services that the most business owners need, you’re more likely to be able to find clients for them, right? So I’m just going to go over the three most common virtual assistant services I see people looking for when I’m out in the virtual assistant world.
[00:00:30] So number one is definitely social media management. I think every business nowadays is on social media, and if not, they should be. They should be on probably more than one platform depending on where their ideal Customer or client is hanging out and they need someone to help them manage it. They don’t have all the time to do that on top of running the day to day of their businesses. So they need to hire a social media manager. I see a lot of job postings for social media management.
[00:01:01] The next category that I see a lot of business owners needing help with is with copywriting. Copywriting is in every aspect of a business. They have written content on their website. They have written content. In their emails, in their social media captions. So much of marketing a business is written content. And that is what a copywriter does. A copywriter writes the written content for a business to help it connect with their ideal clients. So if you really love writing, you really love helping people connect with what they’re reading, then copywriting would be a great avenue to get into as a virtual assistant.
[00:01:48] Now the next really popular service that I see a lot of business owners needing is they need an online business manager. They need someone who can help them manage their team, help them manage launching new products or services. Help them with all the little back end things that go into running a business. A lot of times, business owners, they want to be the CEO, they want to be dreaming of new ideas and just brainstorming, helping, you know, figure out new techniques, whatever. They don’t want to be in the weeds of the business. So typically, an online business manager is the one who is In the weeds doing all the little tasks that keep the business running so that the CEO can focus on the tasks to grow the business even more.
[00:02:38] Okay, so those are the three most common services that I see businesses needing every single day. They need help in all of these areas. Again, that’s social media management, Copywriting, and online business management. Now, even if you don’t have experience in these services, that’s totally okay. It does not take a long time to figure that out, to learn how to do it. And I talk about this a lot more in depth in the free workshop where I’m teaching you the five Ps to become a profitable and successful virtual assistant.
