What to Include in Your Virtual Assistant Website

Are you looking to create your own virtual assistant website?

If you want early success as a virtual assistant, a website is a must. It will function as your digital office and it’s where potential clients will go to learn more about you and your services.

Think about it, every time you’re on facebook and someone asks for a good recommendation on a VA, you can drop your link to point to your awesome webpage, and let it do the selling for you.

The good news is that creating a website doesn’t have to be hard. There are four essential pages you’ll want to make sure you include…

The About Page

An about page is usually the second most popular page on a website. That’s because potential clients want to learn more about the person they’re considering working with. They want to know a bit about your personality and what projects you enjoy tackling.

Try to write a brief biography about yourself. It doesn’t have to be lengthy. Just two or three paragraphs that cover the basics like your name, where you live, and any previous job experience that’s relevant.

For example, if you plan to offer logo design services, then definitely mention that you got a degree in graphic design in college. That will impress potential clients.

You don’t want to spend too much time talking about your personal stuff. I’m sure everyone will think your dog is super adorable but instead think of your about page as a display of what you can do for your clients.

Try to think of what pain points your ideal client would have and address how you can fix those in your about page. Maybe you offer content creation services, so talk about how you love to write and bring ordinary subjects to life through storytelling.

 

The Services Page

This is the page where you tell clients what you can do for them. It doesn’t have to be a particularly long page. Write a paragraph that highlights why you’re awesome to work with such as your attention to detail or your ability to make tech topics simple.

Then create a list of tasks you can do for your clients. You can use bullet points and cover some of the most important ones. For example, if you plan to be a virtual assistant to authors, some of your tasks might include:

• Creating a Kindle cover
• Applying for an ISBN number for a book
• Organizing a blog tour
• Hosting a Facebook party on launch day

Remember, that your list of tasks is not set in stone. You’ll probably change it as you gain experience and learn more about what services are most enjoyable (and profitable) for your business.

 

The Contact Page

Next, you’ll need to add a contact page to your website. You can post your email address but this has a tendency to result in heavy spam, making it more likely that you’ll overlook a message from a potential client.

So, you may want to try using a contact form. If your website is built on WordPress, you can use a free plugin like Contact Form 7.

If you’re using website software, there may be an option for creating forms. You’ll need to check the help manual or reach out the support team for assistance.

 

The Portfolio Page

If you’ve never worked with a client, you might think you don’t have a portfolio. But stop for a moment and consider who you may have helped with similar tasks.

For example, if you redesigned a friend’s blog, then show off a “before” and “after” screenshot. If you offer content marketing, then create two or three short sample articles to post to your portfolio.

It doesn’t matter that you weren’t paid for these portfolio pieces. When clients come to this page, they’re looking to see if you can do the tasks you promised and what your style looks like.

As long as you show them you can do the work, they don’t care if you did that work just to help a friend.

When it comes to building your website, don’t drag out the process for weeks or months. Create your website and get busy looking for clients.

You can always come back and change it once you have a steady stream of clients.
