What Is a Virtual Assistant (and What Do They Actually Do)?

A virtual assistant (VA) provides administrative, creative, or technical support to small business owners — all from home!

Your services could include things like:

• Email and calendar management 
• Customer support 
• Data entry 
• Social media or blog management 
• Travel booking 
• Or even tech setup and automations 

The beauty of a VA business is that you can start with the skills you already have. 

Most VAs package their time — for example, $300 for 10 hours per month — and build recurring monthly income.

And the best part? 

You’re in control! 

You get to choose your clients, your hours, and your services. Let’s look at some ideas to get those creative gears turning!

 

 

Administrative Virtual Assistant Services

Let’s kick off this virtual assistant services list with the backbone of most VA businesses — administrative support. 

These services are simple to learn and always in demand.

1. Email Management

Take charge of your client’s inbox, respond to customers, and keep communication organized. 

Most business owners dread their inbox — which means they’ll love you for handling it.

2. Calendar Management

Schedule meetings, set up systems like Calendly or Acuity, and make sure no one double-books. 

You’re helping your clients stay on track (and sane).

3. Data Entry

If you’re detail-oriented, this one’s for you. 

Transcribe info into spreadsheets, update CRMs, or organize customer databases — all from the comfort of your couch.

4. Online Business Management

For those ready to level up, become an OBM (Online Business Manager). 

You’ll help manage projects, oversee teams, and ensure that every big idea actually gets implemented.

5. Research + Travel Booking

Love a good Google rabbit hole? 

Help clients find resources, book flights, or plan business trips — perfect for anyone who calls themselves a “Google queen”.

6. Invoicing

Assist with creating, sending, and following up on invoices. Helping a small business owner finally get paid? 

That’s a major win.

 

Marketing Virtual Assistant Services

Marketing is where creative meets strategic. 

These marketing services for virtual assistants help clients grow their audiences and drive traffic.

7. Pinterest Management

Pinterest isn’t just for recipes — it’s a goldmine for blog traffic and sales. 

Learn to schedule pins, create graphics, and analyze results, and you could be managing Pinterest accounts for top-tier clients.

8. Instagram Management

Plan, edit, and schedule posts and Reels. 

Some Instagram managers even provide clients with a shot list for monthly content days — and then handle the editing and posting.

9. YouTube Management

Help creators research topics, write scripts, design thumbnails, and upload content. 

You can even manage engagement in the comments.

10. Email Marketing

Create newsletters, launch campaigns, and set up automations in platforms like ConvertKit or Mailchimp. 

Businesses always need help staying consistent with their email lists.

11. Blogging + Copywriting

Blogging is back! 

Whether writing long-form posts or web copy, VAs who can write well — especially using tools like ChatGPT — are in high demand. 

Remember: AI won’t replace VAs… but VAs who use AI will replace those who don’t.
