Your VA + Content Strategy✨

Hey, Fearless Leader!

I hope you had a relaxing Labor Day Weekend🇺🇸!!

Quick question for you…

Do any of the following resonate with you and your marketing hires?

  • I’ve hired a virtual assistant for marketing tasks but I’m unsure what other tasks to assign outside of posting on social media.
  • I have a marketing coordinator but the content isn’t contenting–in other words, it’s not producing leads or engagement.
  • I’ve hired a team for marketing support but there’s friction in communication and strategy.

I understand. See, as a leader, it’s our job to enable our team with the right assets to help them succeed as your contractor.

Whether they're your VA, online business manager (OBM), or marketing specialist, you want to give them a playbook so they know exactly how to show up for you online.

Here are 13 tools to explore.



Am I Empowering My Marketing Specialist to Perform at Their Best?

Ask yourself the following questions to determine whether you’re equipping your contractors to promote your brand accurately…or if there’s work to do!

#1 Is the team clear on your Why, Who, and What?

Your Why = The mission, reason, and story behind the business that drives you to get up every morning.

Your Who = The people you serve (your ideal client).

Your What = Your unique offer (product/service) that separates you from everyone else in the industry.

They should be clear on all three.

#2 Do they have access to your brand style guide?

A brand style guide ensures everything published (blogs, sales pages, email, social media posts) meets a set of standards that represent your business. It defines your company’s branding and keeps everyone on the same page.

#3 Do they know or follow your content strategy?

Your content strategy is where the marvelous happens! So, your team should be in on the deets. If you don’t have a documented content strategy, here’s a simple yet smart guide to begin crafting one for your business.

Now your team can divide and conquer!

#4 Are there clear KPIs set?

Key performance indicators (KPIs) are vital to gauge what’s working…and what isn’t. Yes, even contractors should have metrics to strive for–and to prove their effectiveness. These KPIs should align with your ultimate business goals.

#5 Do YOU have the time and resources to onboard successfully?

If not, consider hiring us as your content strategist or fractional content marketing director.
