5 Ways for Virtual Assistants to Produce Content More Easily

How does it make you feel when somebody says you should be creating content daily on your VA social media channels? Does that hair on the back of your neck stand up? Many Virtual Assistants get paralyzed by the idea of creating content – writing blogs, doing videos, putting out social media. Why is this? Because they don’t know what to write about. Or maybe because they don’t have a content plan. When you don’t really have a plan to do something, it can fail miserably. It can also take 10x as long to do it – which means you could be wasting valuable time every day.

10 Ideas to Inspire Your Social Media Posting

Do you struggle with what to post on social media? Virtual Assistants often second guess what they should be putting out there on their own social media channels. The main thing you need to be doing in your marketing is sharing your expertise.

What I mean is that when people are deciding whether to work with you they will seek out your online profiles – and you want them… Read More »What Will I Find If I Google You?

The Power of Social Media

Be careful what you say on social media. I know, you’ve heard this before. But it really is true. First of all, when you put something out there on social media, it never really goes away. And secondly, you could really, really hurt someone (personal or business) with your ‘share’. I’ve seen many people get emotional and rant about various things. I’ve seen people overshare (I love that word!) and I’ve seen people say things they later come to regret. But here’s the thing.
