Blogging has become a great way to market your business. It is a wonderful way for potential clients to get to know you and what you do. To be effective, you should post to your blog on a consistent and regular basis. Most experts recommend posting two to three times a week on the same days and times. The time it takes to write that many blogs and post them on time can be overwhelming
One way to resolve the overwhelm of consistent blogging is to hire a Virtual Assistant to manage your blog. Once you choose how frequently you will post and when you will post, you can schedule time in your week to write all the blog posts you need for the upcoming week(s) or month(s). After you write those posts, you can email them to your VA with the dates and times to post each one.
Your Virtual Assistant can then log in to your blog, upload the posts after proofing them, and then schedule each one to go out as you have designated. They can then make sure they do go out at those designated times. If they don’t post automatically, your VA can go into your blog and manually post it at that time.
Other ways a Virtual Assistant can help with blog management is to be sure it is connected to Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Each time you post to your blog, it will automatically be sent to your social media accounts for everyone to see. They can also retweet your posts from their accounts to help you spread the word.
You can make blogging a regular part of your marketing plan by utilizing a Virtual Assistant to keep your posting schedule regular and consistent. Check with your VA today to see how they can help you.
Great post about the benefits of blogging, Sophie!
A VA can also set up Google Alerts with the client’s keywords so that he/she can comment on other people’s blogs.
Thanks, Sarah! Google Alerts is a great tool to go with blogging. Thanks for adding that!
Virtual Assistants are so versatile in the tasks they can take off of your hands. When it comes to running a business and writing content for your own blog, nevermind performing the day to day responsibilities, having someone who can help maintain your presence online is a HUGE benefit!
Great post!
Thank you for another great comment! It is a great way to keep your business out there and show that you are an expert in your field, too.
