The Top 10 Virtual Assistant Services to Offer for a Profitable VA Business:

 

10. Blogging and Copywriting Virtual Assistant Services

While social media platforms have had their ups and downs, blogging still remains one of the most popular ways to increase traffic to a website. If you are good at writing, learning some basic blogging and copywriting techniques could be a very beneficial virtual assistant service to offer.

9. Online Business Management and Project Management

Not every business owner is ready to hire an Online Business Manager (OBM) or Project Manager. But when they do, they are looking for someone skilled and experienced.

There are fewer Online Business Managers than Virtual Assistants, so the market is not as saturated or competitive. If you are a type-A person who LOVES systems, an Online Business Manager or Project Manager may be the perfect role for you.

8. Website and Graphic Design

While there are a lot of website designers and graphic designers in the field, there is also a HUGE need for them!

Almost every business needs a website, right? Websites also require regular updates and maintenance. I don’t see the need for this service decreasing anytime soon!

7. Podcast Management Virtual Assistant Services

Podcast Management is one of my FAVORITE services to suggest to virtual assistants because there are SO many people starting podcasts and so FEW service-based businesses offering podcast management. This virtual assistant service is not only in demand, but it’s easy to systematize and scale as you grow your business.

6. YouTube Editing and Management

I’m just going to throw this out there… more and more people are getting frustrated with paid advertising like Facebook and Instagram ads. And I think that as a result, MORE people are going to start searching for traffic on organic platforms.

This is one of the main reasons I believe YouTube is going to keep growing and growing — which means an even greater opportunity for virtual assistants who offer YouTube editing and management services!

Resources to help you —

  • Inside SavvyVault: Video Production course, Social Media Management course

 

5. Instagram Management

Instagram Management as a service is SO hot right now for so many reasons. Instagram is a platform that takes TIME, since the goal of Instagram is to curate a well thought-out, beautiful feed and engaging content, especially video (which takes even more time!). Small businesses need HELP to make that happen.

This is incredible because, with a few simple strategies, you can increase visibility, grow followers, and show these stats off to your clients.

4. Facebook Management (Community / Page / Ads)

Some people may not like that I’m grouping ALL of Facebook Management together. But it’s my list, so I can do what I want. 🙂

Let’s talk straight here. People are FRUSTRATED with Facebook right now. Pages are getting less engagement (unless you pay to boost your posts), ads are getting denied more and more, and overall, it is starting to feel like you almost HAVE to pay to play.

However, businesses with budgets (even small ones) still CAN pay to play and that can be to your advantage! In addition, almost every single business is on Facebook, so offering Facebook Management services still sits high on the list, because of the demand.

3. General Administrative Skills & Customer Service Virtual Assistant Services

I see SO many people who get frustrated because they don’t have a “high-end” skill to offer right off the bat.

Guess what?

MOST businesses hiring their first virtual assistant are really just looking to outsource the SIMPLE tasks in their business so they can have more time.

That’s good news for all of my general admin virtual assistants out there — and why this service makes it to number 3 on my list for the most in-demand virtual assistant services.

  • Inside SavvyVault: Customer Service course, Calendly course, Email Management course, Helpscout course, Human Resources 101 course, Virtual Reception course
  • VA Essential Skills — our beginner course for VAs needing help with general admin skills
  • Administrative Assistant Training

 

2. Pinterest Management / Promoted Pins

Ah… Pinterest Management. There is a reason you are seeing so many Pinterest Managers popping up lately. Pinterest is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to get ORGANIC traffic to a website.

More and more small business owners are jumping on the Pinterest Bandwagon and I suspect a HIGH increase of Facebook Ad users will jump ship and start use promoted Pins to drive traffic in 2019.

Here is the NUMBER ONE service of all the virtual assistant services that I see being in high demand and low competition

Are you ready?

Drumroll please…

1. Podcast & PR Outreach

Yep, I said it. OUTREACH. Again, people are looking for organic traffic to their website and they are so done being burned over and over by paid ads.

This means that more business owners will not only be starting podcasts but also looking to be guests on podcasts.

I’m including PR outreach with Podcast outreach simply because there are SO FEW service providers offering this service currently, so it is a great time to jump in and become the go-to expert in this service niche.
