Not everyone realizes the many unique opportunities associated with the role of a virtual assistant. Sandra Booker discovered it’s possible to go from being an online virtual assistant to owning your own business, so I asked her to share how she jump started her social media strategy, what she learned from working with a social media agency, how she really streamlines her social media today, and her tips for virtual assistants who want to get started on social media!

Memorable Quotes: 

“Once I really focused on rebranding my website and making sure my social media was on point and active, that’s when I started getting the higher clients.”   “I love a good, consistent strategy. It’s like working out; you have to be consistent with it in order for it to make any sense.” “Get on some great mailings lists...because reading other people’s good personality-infused, story-infused copy will help you do the same thing.”   “My biggest tip for any virtual assistant wanting to do social media for other people is not to call yourself a virtual assistant.”
