and software you should be able to use so that you can thrive in these jobs.
Hi, everyone and welcome.
Welcome back to the channel on this channel,
I give you guys the best practical advice on where to find the work from home
jobs and remote job opportunities and how to apply to them.

I have some really cool videos coming up that you don't want to me.
Also, please do me a huge favor and show and look to the like button.
This way, we can show the guys at YouTube that people like this kind of content
that you want more online jobs and they're going to give you more of that .
With that out of the way. Let's get straight into the video.
All right.
So the first one that I want to talk about is an outreach specialist,
and this actually sounds much more complex than it actually is.
Essentially, what you'd be doing is you would be generating leads
or prospects for your clients through social media.
So let's take an example to make it super easy.
Let's say you work with a client who sells online courses,
and what they need is to get in touch with more people
who fit their ideal customer avatar to make them aware of this offering,
or sometimes to make them aware of a Facebook group
where they could learn more about this,
or of an Instagram account where they could learn more about this.
So what they would do is they would give you the details,
the demographics of their ideal customer avatar.
So they'll tell you they have to be between this and this age groups,
or they have to be of this gender or live in this country or in this region.
They'd have to have this education or they'd have to have this interest
and so forth. So they'll give you the details
of the kind of people they want to engage with.
And then what you would need to do is understanding that ideal customer avatar.
You would need to engage with people through social media.
So that would be through Facebook DMs or through Instagram DMs.
And sometimes they'll tell you where to find these people.
Other times you would need to find them yourself,
and what you're expected to do is to be able
to have genuine communication
with people through those social media platforms.
And the idea is that you would genuinely engage with them and build a connection
and build a relationship and understand if whatever you're offering them.
So to become a member of a Facebook group or follow an Instagram account
or check out an offering for those online courses, you need to understand
if those would actually benefit the person that you're engaging with,
only then make them aware of this kind of opportunity.
So make sure that if you choose to go down this path, you do it with,
you know, an ethical behavior and you don't converted into spam
because nowadays lots and lots of people do this the wrong way.
And that not only does not generate many leads,
but actually erodes the trust in that company as well.
So coming back to what it takes to be an outreach specialist?
Well, if you enjoy talking to people and enjoy meeting new people every day
and learn about their story and genuinely engage with them
in order to see if whatever you have to offer would benefit them.
And if you are able to use social media
and I'm assuming you are since you are one of those platforms right now,
so that is pretty much what you would need to do now
in terms of technology and software that you would need to be able to use.
Well, you can easily do this on your phone,
but I would actually recommend that you use a computer
because in that case, you would be able to have multiple tabs open.
Obviously, you need to have
a good internet connection and you would need to have, you know,
knowledge of how to use a regular internet browser like, I don't know,
Mozilla or Edge or
Chrome or any other type that you you're using safari.
Maybe.
And then provide your output to your client in some sort of list
that could be a Microsoft Word document or an excel or one note.
I don't know, depending on whatever they require you to put your notes into.
But all in all, this is a pretty straightforward
opportunity that you could do as a remote virtual assistant.
There are tons of this kind of work from home jobs that you can find nowadays,
and obviously the easiest one would be to go on up .
Work and search for something like this, fiber could be another good one for you.
I would generally recommend that you go and check out their generic platforms
out there.
There are tons of jobs like this and I'm sure
one of them or more can be for you as well.
The next remote virtual assistant job that you can do from home
is an echo expert or an SEO analyst, or pretty much anything related to SEO,
because social media platforms and Google are definitely here to stay,
and the way they operate is based on search engine.
And in order for anyone to show up in search on
any of these platforms is through SEO.
Let's take me, for example, my videos on my YouTube
channel need to show up
whenever people search
for the kind of topics that I talk about on the channel, right?
So I need to do my own research and to optimize my videos.
So YouTube proposes them and shows them to people
who are interested in learning more about or working from home and online jobs.
And this kind of topics.
I need to do my own SEO work and research
and optimization so that my videos show up in search.
And like me, pretty much, you know, all creators out there.
And no matter if they use YouTube as their main platform or other platforms
and SEO, if you've been on my child before, is one that I've talked about
because I really believe this is the future.
And it's really easy because what you would need to do is understand
the topics that the channel you're working with
wants to cover and show up in search for, and then do the research
through tools like IQ or to body, which are mainly specialized in YouTube.
But there are basically tools for any platform out there, including Etsy.
So no matter what kind of platform you choose to specialize in,
what you need to do is understand the business
or the content type of your client and then use tools
like the ones I've mentioned to do research and to figure out
what are some really good keywords that they can use
that they should be ranking for that people actually search for.
Because at the end of the day, what we're doing here, we're serving needs, right?
So we need to know how people search
when they want to solve a problem and when they want to meet a need
so that we can give them the answer to that problem
by using the same keywords, if that makes sense.
And the way that you can learn about SEO is pretty straightforward.
You can do it for free on YouTube, or you can use paid
courses like Udemy or Skillshare, or if you want to specialize in YouTube.
I know many YouTubers have their own programs where they show you how to run
search engine optimization for YouTube videos.
You know you've got tons of choices, and I think the question
now is, is this something for you?
And if yes, which platform would you choose to specialize in?
The third example of a virtual assistant work from home job
that you can do basically right now is an online community manager.
And again, I've used this kind of services myself,
and I know that there is a lot of demand for this kind of work.
So again, let's take me as an example.
Not only do I have this YouTube channel where I'm fortunate to be able
to get in touch with so many of you, and I am always happy
to reply to your comments and to always be in touch with you guys.
And by the way, I'm so, so grateful for all of your support.
But I also have Facebook pages and Instagram,
and there's only so many hours in the day.
And I physically don't have enough time
to keep responding to every comment and to give the right answer and continue
providing value to absolutely everyone
who engages on any of my social media platforms.
So I do work with online community managers who help me
get people involved and drive engagement and answer to people's questions
and give them guidance and allow them
to make the best out of their participation in that community.
So if you are somebody who enjoys spending time on social media
and you like the idea of communities and groups
of like minded people who have a common interest,
then this might be a great idea for you as a virtual assistant.
You basically would just need to obviously have a connection to the.
The internet, again, you can do that from your own phone or from a computer,
and you would need to be available for a certain amount of time in a day.
Probably every day or every other day, depending on the scale of the channel
or of the Facebook group or page or Instagram account that you are supporting.
And essentially, what you would need to do is be able to answer questions,
provide guidance, give advice on where to go, look for things.
If we're talking about the community guidelines
or if there is recordings repository or if there is any assets or materials
that are made available to the members of that group,
you need to be able to answer questions about when is the next event
taking place, where is the link to connect and so forth.
So the idea is that you would be managing that community
and you would be engaging with them and they would probably become,
you know, your friends, your extended family over time,
which I think is amazing if you also have an interest in the topic
that this online community you would be managing is all about.
So definitely check this out.
There are tons of options for this kind of jobs already on Upwork,
but also you could just
go and reach directly the people that manage the Facebook groups
or the Instagram accounts or the YouTube channels that you are
personally interested in and that you think you could be able
to provide value to as a virtual assistant doing online community management.
The next example that I have for you, if you're looking for
remote virtual assistant jobs, is a channel manager
and you can do this one together with the community management
that I just talked about, or you can do it separately.
Essentially, what you would be doing is you would help someone like me,
schedule posts, upload posts, make sure that thumbnails are done properly.
Sometimes when you have, you know, collaborations, you need to make sure
that the scheduling is done properly and that the content is produced on time.
So it's, let's say, the entry level
to becoming a producer for that channel.
And you can definitely have a very nice growth path
if this is something that you enjoy
and if media is a space that you feel comfortable in.
Now, in order to be someone's, let's say, YouTube channel
manager or podcast manager or Instagram account manager,
you don't really need a lot of media knowledge or experience.
What you would need to have is an understanding of how that channel
works and how, for example, in the case of YouTube,
how you would need to upload a video , or what is the information
required to properly upload the video or how to schedule a new post and so forth.
So it's things that you can very easily learn right now, just searching
on YouTube.
Or you could take a course if that makes you feel comfortable
and feel more empowered to support that person.
But it's definitely something that you could easily
start doing right now, even if you're a beginner looking for
virtual assistant jobs that you can do from home.
Last, but not least, is something that I've seen more virtual assistants
who work from home actually offer, and that is internet research.
And honestly, this can go even deeper into something like competitive research
or market research or ideal customer avatar research.
But it's not really the point of this video to go into that level of detail.
But essentially, what I wanted to share with you
is that if you want to go for remote virtual assistant job,
specializing yourself in an internet
research specialist or analyst
could be a really, really good idea so that you can stand out
from everyone else who just offers generic virtual assistant services
and what you would be doing if you position yourself
as an internet researcher or deeper.
As a market researcher
or competitive researcher or ideal customer avatar researcher,
you would be looking to understand
what your client is looking to find out.
And then you would use your knowledge of how to search on the internet
and whatever browser you're used to using again, like Mozilla
or Firefox or Chrome or Edge or Safari, or whatever you're used to using.
You could do that on your phone, or you could do that on your computer
and find answers
and run an analysis for your client that could end up being.
PowerPoint presentation or a Word document or just an excel
with a list of things that you found out, depending on really
what they're asking you to look for and when you collaborate
with a company longer term, you would get this kind of requests,
if not every day,
probably every other day, because they're always looking for something
they'd be asking you, can you research for me
examples of partners that I could work with in this space,
or examples of other companies
offering similar services with me in that country,
or examples of similar products that my clients,
my ideal customer avatar is interested in and so forth?
So there are an infinite number
of possibilities or things that you would be researching.
And the idea ultimately is that not only do you understand
the need for what you have to search,
but also how the output of your work would be used by your client
so that whatever you give them is actually useful, valuable
and that can be used to take action.
The more you do that, the more successful you will be
as a virtual assistant providing internet research services.
All right, you guys.
That was it for today.
