50 Services to Offer as a Virtual Assistant

Posted by:

Abbey Ashley

Do you know what services you can offer as a virtual assistant?

Just the other day I got offered a gig to be a ghostwriter for a big-name blogger (eek!). Not only will my writing be published in front of some major audiences (I’m talking 10,000+ views a DAY), this opportunity was given to me by one of the bloggers I had been following since I started in the online business space.

Day. Made.

Seriously, who can say that they can travel the world, have the freedom to spend with their family, all while doing exciting work for people you’ve dreamed of working for?

It’s why I get so stinkin’ frustrated when I see people stuck in dead-end jobs that eat them up inside each day. Why spend your life at a job that you hate? If you have a special talent or skill, why not offer it as a service? Why not spend time doing something that you actually LOVE for a living?

*Rant over*

When I was first starting out as a Virtual Assistant, all the information online seemed like a cluster bomb to dig through and figure out what I should be focusing on.

That’s why I created this blog – it’s my goal to help aspiring and start-up Virtual Assistants get their business up and running with ease. I want you to be able to turn your talents into a money-making, at-home business.

If you’re just starting out, you might be wondering…

WHAT IS A VIRTUAL ASSISTANT?

A Virtual Assistant (VA) is NOT just an “online secretary”. YOU have a skill to offer (or at least a skill you can learn!). A VA business is simply your way of showcasing your skills online. It’s your job as a VA is to take off some of the big (or small) tasks of other entrepreneurs/businesses.

Virtual Assistant is a broad term that can cover a myriad of tasks. That’s where the confusion usually lies. Of course, you can’t learn EVERYTHING. If you try to be a jack of all trades, you’ll end up being a master of none.

services virtual assistant

As you begin to decide on the tasks that you WILL want to offer – you may change your title from VA to something more specific to what you do.

As you specialize your services, you may choose to call yourself:

A Social Media Manager
A Pinterest Expert
A Sales Funnel Strategist
A Business Consultant
A WordPress Wizard
A Copywriter
A Facebook Ad Manager
A Launch Strategist
A Webinar Rockstar
A Landing Page Liason
A Unicorn Strategist (seriously – it doesn’t really matter what you call yourself – as long as you have a SERVICE to offer and you know WHO to offer it to!)

In general, the term “Virtual Assistant” is what people end up asking for and searching for, even if they really want a specialist in a particular area. It’s the term that they understand. So, even if you choose to change your name to a more “specialist” term – don’t forget to respond to and search for clients looking for a “VA”.

If you are clear about what you DO and the clients that you SERVE – it doesn’t really matter what you call yourself!

Let’s talk about what you can DO as a Virtual Assistant (aka – the services you can provide).

HOW DO I CHOOSE WHAT SERVICES I SHOULD OFFER?

Below, you will find a comprehensive list of services that you can offer as a Virtual Assistant. How you choose which services to focus on is entirely up to you.

I recommend going through this little activity to help you choose:

  1. Go through the entire list and decide which services you know the best. Rate your current skill level from 1-5. One being “I am not proficient in this service at all”. Five being “I am a rockstar at this service.”
  2.  Go through the list a second time and decide which services you are interested in (whether you know how to do them or not). Rate your interest level from 1-5. One being “I am not interested in learning this at all”. Five being “I am really interested in this topic” or “I already do this and LOVE it”
  3. Now – go through and rate each service, based off of the factors above.
  4. Pull out your top 5 – 10 services. What do you think of them? Do they get you excited? Do they “flow together” in a way that could make great packages?

Example #1: 

Any ONE of these services could be made into a business. You could become the expert at that ONE THING and be the “go-to” person for that skill.

Kathryn Moorehouse is the Pinterest QUEEN. I can say this because she helped me grow the blog traffic on this site exponentially.  She took one specific skill, became an expert at it, and now features that as her main and ONLY service.

 

Example #2

You can combine TWO – TEN services, all that have a common feature and create packages around those. This will define a niche for you.

Chantal from Confident Collaborations is a Virtual Assistant with a few very powerful skills – so these are the services she lists on her website. She is able to offer very specific skills and packages to her clients.

 

Example #3

You can combine TEN OR MORE of these services and list them as a List of Services on your website, and offer general VA work with these skills as your showcased features.

Studio Eighteen Virtual Assistance helps entrepreneurs with a myriad of tasks, all listed on their website. As a generalist, when asked the question, “Can you do ____” the answer can almost always be, “Yes, I can!”.

 

 

Example #4

Lastly, you can combine any of these methods (by being a generalist or a specialist) and choose to offer them to a specific niche (online creatives, real estate agents, health and fitness gurus, photographers, etc.).

Your Ampersand is a niche-specific VA business, exclusively for photographers. Shaina (the owner) took her interests (photography) and made specific packages that will appeal to those in the photography industry.

 

WHAT SERVICES CAN I OFFER AS A VIRTUAL ASSISTANT?

I’m glad you asked!

    I am certainly a techie VA who now also specialises in Pinterest account management (I took a Pinterest VA course). I offer email list creation and management, web design and management, content editing and proofreading and of course Pinterest management. I love all of these processes and I love improving entrepreneur’s and blogger’s online presence with my skills and experience. I am always learning, in fact I think I spend the majority of my time reading blog posts like this one to learn more every day!

    • Abbey Ashley on February 3, 2017 at 12:03 pm

      This is why being a VA is so amazing! You can choose what you want to provide. Love it!

      • Kimberly Tierney on July 2, 2019 at 3:51 pm

        I am just now starting to learn how to be a VA. My passion is creative design. I would love to be able to use my creative talent somehow. I know there has to be a place for me to do that. Now that I’ve taken the first step into the unknown haha… I’ll be able to learn enough and have confidence in myself to do this!

      • Nazmul hassan on September 2, 2020 at 9:11 am

        Hey abby , I am so much happy and feel so peachful to read this article. and it will be also helpful for my virtual assistant work.

        • Abbey Ashley on September 4, 2020 at 2:52 pm

          Hey, Nazmul! Thank you for the feedback. I am happy you enjoyed it!

          • MALIK Akhlaq ahmad on March 19, 2021 at 5:49 pm

            Actually I love being here .
            I am an Amazon virtual assistant
            But when i came to your website and seen your videos i am astonished and thought oo my god there is a big game here and i have to learn it and abbey i don’t have any client right now but asap when i get my first client I’ll start taking a course.



          • Abbey Ashley on March 24, 2021 at 10:30 am

            That’s wonderful!!! We look forward to having you join our community 🎉🎉



      • Cheryl Woitte on March 12, 2021 at 9:01 am

        Hi Abby,

        I just purchased your quick start guide for $27.00 and I’m eager to get started. However I have a question about the services I’m thinking about which I don’t see on your lists and that is Analytics. I was a project manager and business analyst in my corp. days and I want to offer analysis. It would go something like this. “Do you have a problem to solve?” A question about your business you need the answer to?” Let me solve your problems and answer some burning questions for you. For example what products are my top sellers? What tasks are taking the longest. Do you need to improve your sales or do you need to improve productivity?

        Abby I believe there is a need for this service. I crunch large amounts of data and put it into easy to understand excel charts or PowerPoint presentations. What do you think?

        • Abbey Ashley on March 12, 2021 at 10:57 am

          Hi Cheryl, yes!!! You are on to something!

          Specializing in analytics is a FANTASTIC idea.

          I highly recommend you also post this question in our free VA Savvies Facebook community–that way other VA’s can weigh in and share some helpful insight for you 💛

    • Gigi on January 11, 2020 at 7:32 pm

      Hello, I am looking into becoming a VA. I have admin and HR background, would you recommend I take a VA course or do enough research on my own? thank you.

      • Abbey Ashley on January 13, 2020 at 9:28 am

        Hey, Gigi! There are lots of paths to get where you want to go, it just depends on what you want and need! In the SavvySystem, we lead students through launching, growing, and scaling their businesses from scratch. In the SavvyVault, we have 38+ tech training videos (with new added each month!) to help develop and grow your skills. We also have our blog, of course, and numerous YouTube videos. We see the best student results in the SavvySystem because it IS so extensive, however, only you can know what’s right for you and at the end of the day, your success will be mostly determined by your WHY and your determination! If you want to email our team at [email protected], we’d be happy to discuss more with you!

    • Candice on April 29, 2021 at 4:56 am

      Hi Self Made Dame, I see you mentioned you did a Pinterest VA course. Where did you do this?

    • Cierra on September 23, 2023 at 2:30 am

      And how many clients do you have? Did you grow a major social media following first? How long did it take to make enough money to pay the bills?!

      • Jaime Nickerson on September 25, 2023 at 6:46 am

        Hi Cierra! These are all really great questions. How many clients you have and how much money you need to make will be unique to you. Inside the SavvySystem (www.thesavvysystem.com) we have lessons on how to determine those goals and how to package and price your services to meet them. You don’t need to have a large social media following or any social media following for that matter. Inside the SavvySystem we teach you how to market your services and where and how to find clients for your business. Join us on September 27, 2023 for our Encore Webinar to learn more! http://www.thevirtualsavvy.com/encore

  2. Bonnie McConaughy on January 28, 2017 at 2:59 am

    I’m just beginning to look into becoming a Virtual Assistant but I would be a specialist. I would do more content creation of various kinds, editing/proofreading, transcription, data entry, research, etc. My specialties lie in writing and creating content. If it weren’t for realizing that some VA’s do that sort of thing, I wouldn’t have even started looking into it. However, I feel this would be a great way to do the parts of blogging and business that I really enjoy, or to expand on them.

    • Abbey Ashley on February 3, 2017 at 12:02 pm

      That is one of the benefits of being a VA. You can always find a special niche, gain new skills and drop services that you no longer want to offer.

  3. Kerry on January 31, 2017 at 10:57 am

    This is a very helpful read. I’m currently helping someone who is starting a VA company, and your rating system for skills and services is a brilliant idea. I’ll definitely be recommending it. Thank you.

    • Abbey Ashley on February 3, 2017 at 11:47 am

      Kerry, thank you for recommending this post!

  4. Cheryl on February 26, 2017 at 10:38 am

    I have been blogging about simple living and minimalism for more than 5 years and that has set the tone for my VA work, which is mainly in the green lifestyle and eco-friendly niche – anything from content creation to copywriting, voice overs to social media marketing. I am fairly new the trade, but loving it so far!

    • Abbey Ashley on February 27, 2017 at 10:45 am

      That is such an interesting and fulfilling niche!

  5. Kristen on June 3, 2017 at 2:55 pm

    The free download is such a great list! On my own I thought of only 2 or 3 services but with your resource I’ve made a list of at least 10 services! Thank you!

  6. Saskia on June 5, 2017 at 7:32 am

    Hey Abbey,
    Thanks for a great article. Very informative. Also love the download you offer with the guideline of getting started.
    I have been a project manager for over 30 years in the creative industries and have managed to transfer my skills into the virtual arena. I only started this year but have been securing jobs from various job boards already.
    Besides having a web page or site to promote yourself I think making sure your profile on any given job board is up to date and 100% completed is a deal breaker!

    • Abbey Ashley on June 10, 2017 at 7:49 pm

      Yes! Having your profile up to date is so important! Thank you so much for sharing!

  7. virtualmamg on June 29, 2017 at 4:57 am

    Nice information. Thanks for sharing.

  8. Ugochukwu Anurika on July 7, 2017 at 11:00 pm

    Thanks for this Abbey! It was very informative.I just realised there are some skills I could offer that I didn’t think about before.Your post just pointed them out to me!
    Am excited for my success already because I know I am going to conquer.Am new to being a VA you know.

    • Abbey Ashley on July 11, 2017 at 10:48 am

      That is so awesome to hear! Congrats!

  9. Elizabeth Wright on July 13, 2017 at 6:41 am

    This is brillant and endorses the fact that I love building and managing their CRM’s for them – I love insightly and so recommend these to all my clients. So thanks for all the ideas as it has given em something else to think about and add to my marketing plan!

    • Abbey Ashley on July 17, 2017 at 12:19 pm

      We’re so glad you liked it! I love insightly too! So many great CRM’s out there!

  10. Fizza Naseem on September 26, 2017 at 2:54 am

    Well, I just realized that I can give 5 stars to myself for 5 of these services covering content creation, blog management, Social Media graphics, Scheduling Social Media, Ghostwriting, Content Creation for online courses. WHOAA! I never knew it! 😀 Thanks, Abbey, you’re awesome!

  11. Jessica on October 5, 2017 at 1:49 pm

    Hi Abby! Thank you for this amazing and informative post! I am actually a legal assistant for a criminal defense firm but am thinking of branching out into VA. I have no idea how to start or if there even is a niche for the legal field. Any suggestions?

    • Abbey Ashley on October 10, 2017 at 7:31 pm

      Hi Jessica, There definitely is a niche for the legal field. To get started, I would recommend that you join our free FB group, Virtual Assistant Savvies, and/or you can join our course The VA Bootcamp, where we teach our students everything they need to know to start a VA biz from scratch. Welcome to the exciting world of virtual assistance!

      • Bernie on October 9, 2019 at 2:47 pm

        Hi Abbey, would you kindly advise how long the VA Bootcamp would take? Many thanks!

        • Abbey Ashley on October 9, 2019 at 4:47 pm

          So I just released a NEW updated version of the Bootcamp which is now the SavvySystem with over 70 lessons divided into 3 main sections. Launch. Grow. Scale. I recommend that you take each Phase at your own pace and not move to the next one until you are ready for that phase in your business. For each person that journey will look different. It all depends on how quickly you are able to Launch and grow your business before you move into the final phase.

  12. Sha Suth on October 26, 2017 at 3:22 pm

    I am just starting out and a dear friend directed me to this wonderful resource base. It’s a little overwhelming how much information there is and so much I need to learn. This list has set me on the right mental path. Thanks a mil @Abbey Ashley. Only thing is I didn’t get the download with the full list after putting my email. Can you direct me to where else I may source it please? Many thanks and keep up the great work.

    • Abbey Ashley on October 31, 2017 at 3:41 pm

      Hi there! Thanks for the kind words! It can seem overwhelming when you’re first getting started, but soon, you’ll be on your way. All of our resources are designed to help you start your VA business in a way that’s sustainable and fun. In any case, I’m sorry that you didn’t receive the download. I will go ahead and send it over to you now so that you have it. 🙂

  13. Tonya Dickerson on December 21, 2017 at 11:23 pm

    Very informative article. Thanks for the insight.

    • Abbey Ashley on December 26, 2017 at 2:53 pm

      Thanks for the comment Tonya! 🙂

  14. Abigail on March 12, 2018 at 10:31 am

    Hi Abbey

    Thank you for all the info, you are so nice …

    • Abbey Ashley on March 13, 2018 at 2:54 pm

      Thank you so much for the kind words Abigail! I’m glad you found my content helpful!

  15. Amy on March 13, 2018 at 11:43 pm

    Hi, Abbey! Great post and freebies! I have been working for a CEO of a small startup as, what I think would be considered, a Generalist VA. I manage her Private Facebook Community and Support Email box, create training and business content, marketing content, write recipes (it is a healthy cooking business), create graphics, write blog content, answer chats, schedule Facebook posts and share to her public page, as well as many other things. I have been doing this for about 3 years. I love working with her, she is my ideal client and I am ready to find some clones of her but not sure how to make that clear on my website. Saying “women small business owners” seems too broad. I will definitely review and rate my skills to see if I can refine my offerings a bit but would love to know your thoughts on how specific you should be in regards to your ideal client.

    This post very useful and very informative news was sharing to my futures.

    • Abbey Ashley on April 12, 2018 at 3:26 pm

      I’m glad you found it helpful William!

  17. Loretta on April 11, 2018 at 2:33 pm

    This is a great list and the examples are pretty awesome. I started out years ago as a general VA, but found my niche in transcription work and transitioned to make that the only service I offer.

  18. Kimberly Mae Espiritu on April 18, 2018 at 10:46 pm

    I find myself unable to leave your blog! I can’t stop reading it! I must say you have a very unique voice in writing, which I personally appreciate.

    • Abbey Ashley on April 19, 2018 at 2:50 pm

      Thank you so much for the compliments Kimberly! I’m glad you like the blog. 🙂

  19. Lyna on September 7, 2018 at 3:53 pm

    I just so happened to run across your blog on Facebook, while playing games. I’ve just downloaded your VA info and can’t wait to read it. I believe you’ve really got an Awesome thing going here. Thank you

    • Abbey Ashley on September 10, 2018 at 2:14 pm

      Awww, thank you so much for the kind words Lyna! Let us know if you we can help you in any way. <3

  20. Frances Bercaw on January 5, 2019 at 11:46 am

    I want to get started it am hesitant due to health problem. I do not understand blogging. I am in my late 60s but really would love doing things like data entry and transcription. I am a paralegal specializing in probate and trust. I don’t know if that is something usable or not. Thank you for your knowledge and guidance.

    • Abbey Ashley on January 7, 2019 at 11:15 pm

      Data entry and transcription are definitely services that are virtually needed. If you are familiar with online systems this would be a great path to consider. If you are unfamiliar with the online space and systems, you may want to look into providing these services to local offices in a remote capacity.

  21. virtual assistant on January 30, 2019 at 12:03 am

    Thank you for sharing such an informative post. Virtual assistants perform many tasks like web design, web development, admin assistant, personal assistant services, document sharing, appointment scheduling service, social media assistant, content marketing services and many more.

  22. Janet Hohn on February 4, 2019 at 6:04 pm

    OMG… I’m turning 6.0 (60) soon and I’m so excited to start semi-retirement with all the skills and experiences I’ve acquired in advertising and marketing.
    I plan to be a generalist (Marketing, Social Media, Design + Content) and want to add my app design skills for small businesses to my portfolio.

  23. Maia on May 21, 2019 at 7:11 pm

    This is a very interesting post. I keep hearing that you cannot be a general VA and must have a niche in something and also only have clients from one particular business sector. Not doing this will result in little to no clients. I am definitely a general VA. It has been a challenge to narrow my client target market as I have had one client so far. With that being said, I am not sure, I would accept another client in that particular field. Thanks so much as this has enlightened me and also given me hope to hang in there!

    • Abbey Ashley on May 22, 2019 at 10:46 am

      You can absolutely be a general VA. In fact, this is what I recommend to new VAs who may not know exactly what they want to niche down to. I want you to get out there, provide services, and figure out what you LOVE doing before you niche down.

    Hi Abbey! I came across your site while watching your YouTube video “Become a Freelance Virtual Assistant” and became hooked! I have been a CSR for a furniture manufacturer for 15 yrs then changed to office secretary. I’m so burnt out with going to a 9-5 each day and I quit my job just 3 days ago. I start tomorrow doing some admin work, personal shopping, large event meal prep & cleaning for a non-profit Well Being Retreat center and I love working in the Wellness industry. I have skills like: data entry, emails, Google research, writing, cooking (recipe creating), booking travel for us. I am a Facebook user & am learning how to use Instagram & Pinterest. I want to become a VA also to add to my very small income. How can I use these skills to quickly launch a personal VA business to get that added income coming in?
    p.s. my passion is Travel but have only personal travel & booking experience but would like to learn more! By the way, I think your videos are awesome!

    • Abbey Ashley on August 21, 2019 at 4:27 pm

      Hey Tammy! You use the skills YOU have RIGHT NOW and you can get started! Make sure to check out the FREE training on my website about marketing your services and how to Become a Booked Out Virtual Assistant.

  27. Shanite on September 6, 2019 at 11:05 pm

    Hi Abbey,

    Glad I came across your site. For 15 years, I worked as an Administrative assistant. What are some services I can offer? I thought about on-boarding new hires, I-9 verification, and calendar management. Do you have a list of other administrative services I can offer? I also enjoy helping people come up with ideas when wanting to start a business. I always find it exciting of when I can think of what is needed. I think of more like the customer and what I would want when someone is offering a new business. I am a little confused and not sure of how I can add that to having a VA business. I think it’s more of a business consultant than a VA. How can I implement both into a business?

    • Abbey Ashley on September 9, 2019 at 10:52 am

      With your experience, you could do very well as a VA! The best part of being a VA is that you can create the business that YOU want with the services you want to offer. Think of the experiences that you could offer RIGHT NOW and start there.

  28. Rakesh Sharma on October 3, 2019 at 7:08 am

    Hello Abbey!
    I first heard the term “Virtual assistant” in the month of July 2019 and i immediately became interested with it.Since then,i have been struggling to get it right until i came across this article.I find it very informative,precise and educative.I am in the process of setting up my website and this article is really helpful in putting together my skill-set.I have been an IT and admin specialist for 8 years and now i am ready to transfer my skills to virtual world.Do you mind also sharing an article on how to draft an eye catching proposal/cover letter to win jobs and maybe with a few sample/example?Thanks once again.

    The post is interesting. The content looks at 50 services to offer as a virtual assistant. Virtual Assistant is a wide term that can cover a countless of tasks. A virtual assistant offers administrative services to customers while working outer of the client’s office. A virtual assistant can access the essential planning documents, such as shared calendars, distantly. Virtual assistants are normally cloud-based programs that need internet-connected devices and applications to work.

    • Abbey Ashley on March 10, 2020 at 3:37 pm

      Hey, there! I love what you are saying here. However, I think maybe you meant to say that VAs utilize cloud based programs? Love it!

    Hi Abbey,

    Ive been a chef for 20 years and spent 10 years in an Info Management company before that. IT skills are not what they were but did achieve diploma Sys Admin.

    My provision for work history, is a lead up to asking whether you believe that there may be a niche VA market for Chefs??

    Would love to hear your thoughts

    Cheers

    Hi, Abbey! There’s really a lot of VA tasks that we can offer and I agree to what you have said that we should have our niche and even have combinations of chosen virtual tasks to prospective clients. Being a Jack of All trades won’t work unless you are a VA services consultancy where you can delegate the tasks. Nice content! Thank you!
