I have been an exclusive wedding photographer for the past 5 years, and 2022 is the year I'm choosing to transition my business to offer Creative Virtual Assistant services to other Wedding Professionals and Creatives. I will start slowly and work with just the right clients. Perhaps you are in a position that you want to outsource your blogging, but just want to try it first before committing very long term. This may be the perfect opportunity for you! Try outsourcing your blogging at a reasonable price, see if you like it, and have the potential to grow your business right along side me!
My premiere service I'm offering will be Done-For-You Full Service Blogging - I will write the post, format it, and add it into your backend for you (WordPress). I will implement correct SEO to meet your goals - naming images, keywords, making SEO and readability good through the Yoast plugin on WordPress. I will resize and collage images through BlogStomp for best optimization.
I also am offering a backend service package where you write the copy for the blog, and I handle the rest. Or I can write the copy, and you handle the rest! Many customizable options! See Services below for more details.
I am accepting a limited amount of initial clients.
"What creative services do you offer?"
I am familiar with WordPress blogs through ShowIt websites. To begin with, I will be accepting clients who host their blog on this platform. If your blog is hosted elsewhere and you are interested in working with me, we can discuss in our discovery call whether I can easily learn your platform to perform the blogging services needed.
"Do I need to have my blog hosted on a certain platform?"
No, you do not have to send every wedding for me to blog. However, I do start my packages at 2 blogs per month, with a 3 month minimum commitment. This ensures that you get the full experience of how my process works to see the benefits over time. Hopefully, you will decide you want to continue working with me!
"Do I have to send every wedding I do for you to blog?"
Yes, we will have a written contract that outlines all the specifics of our working agreement. This will be sent and filled out and signed digitally by both parties. This is to protect us both! If at any time either of us decide we are not a good fit to work together, the current contract period will need to be finished, but does not have to be renewed for another 3 month time period.
"Will we have a contract?"
I will go over all of this in our communication. We can set up a call, a zoom call, or even just correspond back and forth through email and loom chats. I know everyone is busy, which is why you're considering outsourcing to begin with, so I will accommodate you the best I can! The process will be made as simple and user friendly for you as possible, so that you don't have to spend more time getting me the information. Efficiency and simplicity are the goals!!
"How do you get all of the information for the blog?"
Blogging is one of the most beneficial ways to consistently boost traffic to your site and reach your ideal clients. Let me help you reach your marketing goals, one blog at a time, while giving you back some time to do more of the things you love in your business!
