As a business owner, you probably already know how having an internet presence can help your business grow faster, by being able to engage with potential clients from all over the country – nay – the world. And as a business owner, you’re probably already familiar with all the tasks one must do to maintain that presence, as well as keep improving your engagements. And yes, it eats a lot of our time, which is why we’re introducing one of the internet’s wonders – Social Media Virtual Assistants.

Social Media Virtual Assistants (aka Social Media Manager, or SMVA) are just like your regular VA’s, whom you can entrust some of your business chores – to get tasks off your plate and give you more time to do more important matters, such as, client appointments, and making decisions. But the best thing about SMVA’s is that they are well-skilled, and experienced with handling social media pages, and know the ropes as to how to keep engagements, as well as create new ones. But those are only a few examples, below are some of the other things that a Social Media VA can do for you and your business.

Post Sourcing and Scheduling

When it comes to using social media for marketing, a lot of strategies have to be well planned, including the kind of content you post or share, as well as when these contents are posted, because as it turns out, there are certain times of the day when people are most active online.

Social Media VA’s are well equipped with this knowledge, so you can count on them when it comes to sourcing contents, not only from your own webpage, but also from other sites or pages that are not a competition, but relevant to your business, as well as scheduling them on target schedule, in order to get better engagements.

Engagement Monitoring

Aside from sharing and scheduling content, your Social Media VA can also help you in monitoring your social media contents’ engagements. They can then create reports using these data, and share it with the whole marketing team, as this can help you create better strategies, to gain more audience for your business.

Audience Targeting and Engagement

With the data gathered from the engagement monitoring, and after planning strategies with the marketing team, your Social Media VA can now then apply these on all your business’ Social Media platforms. This includes updating or, editing the target audience for each paid posts, as well as responding to comments to keep the engagements.

They can even go as far as adding page prompts for people who engaged with your business’ social media posts, but haven’t followed the page yet- to ensure that these prospects become a regular audience, and possibly a future client.
