As a public figure influencer or content creator, running your brand in the background and behind the scenes takes a lot of work. There are only so many hours in a day, and eventually, you reach a point where you have a lot of things to accomplish but are having trouble getting them done, especially tasks that you could only find tedious but which are essential to running your business. In addition, you should be digitally present 24/7. If you are reading this and can connect with it, read on.
The idea and strategy behind your influencer marketing strategy will always need to be led by you and your team, but you can hire a virtual assistant to help you complete all of your influencer goals.
Virtual Assistants Supporting Influencers
Influencer Engagements, Collaborations, and Appearances
Making a name for yourself as an influencer or public figure is crucial to your financial success. Public appearances, speaking engagements, podcast guest slots, and other paid or affiliate social media collaborations are all excellent ways to boost your income stream. However, managing all of these commitments means that less time is being spent on those responsibilities themselves. A virtual assistant can help you save a lot of time by taking communication off your plate and gathering all the information and deliverables required so you can concentrate on the cooperation itself and produce a top-notch result.
Advocate Outreach
It’s time to begin building a long-lasting relationship with the 10 to 15 top-tier collaborators you should have now identified. Ask your virtual assistant to create a pitch letter on your behalf so that the collaborators on your shortlist will be enthusiastic about working with you because they are now familiar with you. Make sure each letter is succinct while yet conveying your brand’s basic principles. You want them to believe that working with you is beneficial for their brands too.
Scheduling for Influencers
Another crucial task that consumes far too much time for many influencers and business owners alike is keeping track of what needs to be done on time. Your schedule will likely become much more organized if you have a virtual assistant who manages your calendar and overall schedule. You’ll be able to stay focused on your zone of genius if someone makes sure that all of your meetings, speaking engagements, appointments, and deadlines are planned out and organized. Just think about how much easier planning would be without all that on your plate!
Your virtual assistant can also support you in choosing the best venue, time, and platform to meet with your collaborators and impress them with your humor. To set up a video or in-person meeting with your client, give them access to your calendar or ask them to set up a calendar application like Calendly for you.
Influence Monitoring
You never want to lose sight of the KPIs that tell you whether or not the relationship is a worthwhile and successful collaboration. Before engaging with a collaborator or brand, set up these KPIs internally, and then ask your virtual assistant to track them on your behalf. Using Excel or Google Spreadsheets to set up rows for each metric and build formulas to show a (hopefully) positive growth over time is the simplest approach to keep track of these numbers in one location.
These KPIs are some to take into account for influencer marketing success: traffic to a website or landing page, social media use, engagement, comments, likes, shares, reach, sales, and conversions.
Management of Social Media for Influencers
For most prominent figures, social media is the place to be, but maintaining a strong online presence requires a lot of effort. On top of all your other obligations, you need to post, plan collaborate, communicate with your audience, and develop content. Virtual assistants are aware of the value of maintaining a constant social media presence and assist by handling as much or as little of your account management needs. While some influencers enjoy directly interacting with their audience, others prefer to create their own content but require assistance in establishing connections with the targeted audience and collaborators.
