I’m about to hire a virtual assistant to help me manage my blog, but there’s so much that needs to be done, and I’m not sure where to start. For those of you who have worked with or are currently working with a virtual assistant, what tasks do you assign to them that provide the most value and return on investment? TIA

It all depends on what you require. I personally have a little webpage. If I had hired a virtual assistant, I would have used them to complete any repetitious tasks. Something like updating a few lines or links on ten to twenty pages.

A virtual assistant is a self-employed worker who specializes in offering administrative services to clients from a remote location, usually a home office.
Typical tasks a virtual assistant might perform include scheduling appointments, making phone calls, making travel arrangements, and managing email accounts.

I have DM’ed you and here are some more details:
As a virtual assistant I source images for my clients according to the specifications and then resize the images and write relevant captions and alttext.
I also help them with topic research where I summarize some part of the content as notes.
Since I’m used to working in a wordpress environment and have basic SEO skills. I have also done some ghostwriting on some parts of the article.
I have also provided my portfolio in the DM’s. Please check it and we can have further discussions there.

I’ve found virtual assistants to be invaluable in handling tasks that free up my time for more strategic work. Key tasks I assign include content creation and scheduling, SEO optimization, managing social media accounts, and responding to comments and emails. They also help with research, finding guest post opportunities, and basic graphic design for blog images. By delegating these tasks, I can focus on creating quality content and growing my audience, which has significantly boosted my blog’s productivity and engagement. Virtual assistants bring efficiency and expertise that maximize the return on investment, allowing me to scale my blog effectively.
I work with virtual assistants to schedule appointments, make phone calls and manage email accounts.
I sent you a direct message with these additional details:
As a virtual assistant, I find photos for my clients based on their requirements, resize them, and add pertinent alttext and descriptions.
In addition, I assist them with topic research by providing notes that condense a portion of the material.
I have some basic SEO knowledge and am accustomed to working in a WordPress environment. A portion of the article was also ghostwritten by myself.
In the DMs, I’ve also included my portfolio. Please check it out so we may continue our conversation there.
Georgeana, thanks for the breakdown! Seeing the variety of jobs a virtual assistant may perform is beneficial; these include social media and graphic design in addition to administrative support.
