Ever heard someone say they use virtual assistant interns for their marketing tasks. I discovered how to be one of those people. Here's how you can too.

The world of marketing moves too fast to go it alone. In fact, marketing trends shift so rapidly that 60% of businesses struggle to keep up with content demands, according to industry reports. If you’re still juggling social media, emails, content creation, and customer engagement solo, you’re already behind. Virtual assistants (VAs) can take that load off your plate, but where do you find them?


The VA Search: Why It’s So Hard

The Hidden Problem: Lack of Strategic Guidance

Even with virtual assistants available, many businesses lack a clear strategy for utilizing them effectively. Without a defined marketing plan, VAs end up doing busy work instead of driving growth.


You’re probably asking yourself:


  • "Where do I even start?"

  • "How do I know if they’re good?"

  • "What if I can’t afford them?"


Let’s break it down.


1. Online Job Platforms

Websites like Upwork, Fiverr, and OnlineJobs.ph let you search for VAs with specific skills. For example, Sarah hired a VA from Upwork who boosted her engagement by 30%. But here’s the catch: great VAs get scooped up fast, and you're paying premium rates. Websites like Upwork, Fiverr, and OnlineJobs.ph let you search for VAs with specific skills.

2. Virtual Assistant Agencies

Virtual assistant agencies overseas often pre-train assistants for marketing tasks. You get vetted professionals, but it comes at a cost.


3. The VA Bar Internship Program (Free!)

The VA Bar interns are trained in social media, content creation, and email marketing. And yes, they're free for three weeks while gaining real-world experience.


🚨 Don’t Be Like Stressed-Out Steve 

Steve thought hiring a VA from a generic site would solve his problems. But without guidance, that assistant posted off-brand memes and irrelevant hashtags. His engagement tanked. Don’t make Steve’s mistake.

  • AI-Powered Content: Tools like ChatGPT and Canva make creation faster.
