Running a business often feels like juggling 100 things at once, especially in marketing. Between content creation, SEO, email campaigns, and lead generation, you’re constantly doing instead of growing. Here’s the truth: You don’t need a big in-house team or expensive agencies to scale. What you do need is a smart, affordable, and highly skilled solution, a remote marketing virtual assistant.
At There is Talent, we’ve helped dozens of founders, startups, and agencies grow faster by hiring the right RMVA. Here’s exactly how you can do it too.
The Problem: Most Businesses Hire Without a Strategy
Many entrepreneurs and business owners hire a VA out of burnout, handing over random tasks and hoping for the best. Companies often face similar challenges when hiring VAs without a clear strategy.
This leads to:
Miscommunication
Without clear expectations and direction, your virtual assistant may misunderstand your brand’s voice, your target audience, or the goals of a campaign. This results in inconsistent messaging, tasks being done incorrectly, and the need for constant clarification.
Wasted hours
Rather than freeing up your time, poor planning can lead to more back-and-forth, rework, and delays. When there are no systems in place, you spend more time managing tasks instead of focusing on strategy and growth.
Missed opportunities
Without a structured approach, important marketing opportunities can slip through the cracks. Whether it’s launching a timely campaign, following up with warm leads, or optimizing content performance, a lack of coordination means your company may not address its marketing needs effectively, and you’re not making the most of your efforts.
The fix?
Hire strategically. Treat your VA as a growth partner, not just a task-taker, so your marketing needs are met and your business can grow efficiently.
A skilled Remote Marketing Virtual Assistant (RMVA) can:
In the world of digital marketing, an RMVA, also known as a skilled VA or digital marketing assistant, can transform your business operations.
Drive qualified leads
By managing targeted campaigns, optimizing content for SEO, and engaging your audience across channels, an RMVA helps attract the right prospects, those most likely to convert into paying customers. A virtual digital marketing assistant or remote professional can also support lead generation and empower your sales team by handling outreach, nurturing leads, and managing CRM systems.
Improve marketing performance
From refining email workflows to tracking analytics and A/B testing creatives, a great RMVA ensures your marketing efforts are continuously improving. Digital marketing VAs and virtual digital marketing assistants can handle a wide range of digital marketing tasks and specific tasks, such as analytics, campaign management, and performance reporting, to optimize your results.
Save you 10+ hours weekly
With a capable assistant handling time-consuming daily tasks like scheduling posts, formatting newsletters, updating CRM entries, or pulling reports, you regain valuable hours to focus on high-level strategy or client relationships. They can also take care of specific tasks such as social media management, including managing your social media accounts and maintaining an active presence across multiple social media platforms.
Help scale your operations
An RMVA doesn’t just handle tasks; they help you build systems. With different specializations, a skilled VA can support a marketing agency in handling more clients and gaining a competitive edge. With SOPs, templates, and performance tracking in place, you can grow your business without burning out or overhiring. It’s about scaling smarter, not just faster.
A digital marketing assistant can also help with creating content, updating website content, managing online advertising, and strengthening your brand’s online presence and digital presence.
Step 1: Identify Your Marketing Gaps First
Before hiring, gain clarity on where help is needed:
Start by assessing your current marketing efforts and identifying any gaps or weaknesses. Understanding your market and analyzing market trends are crucial steps in this process, as they help you recognize opportunities and tailor your strategies to your target market. This ensures that you focus your resources on areas that will have the greatest impact.
Ask yourself:
- Where am I spending most of my time?
- What’s actually driving ROI?
- What am I doing that someone else could do better?
- What qualities or skills would the ideal candidate for my marketing needs possess?
Then list out tasks to delegate:
- Social media scheduling
- Email campaign setup
- Landing page creation
- Lead generation follow-ups
- Analytics and reporting
- Competitor and keyword research
VAs specialize in different areas such as lead generation, digital marketing, and industry-specific strategies, so you can delegate tasks to those with the right expertise.
Step 2: Build a Marketing System, Not Just a To-Do List
Hiring one person won’t fix a messy process. Instead, create what we call your Marketing Command Center:
SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures)
Clear, repeatable steps for tasks like social posts, email campaigns, and reporting to ensure consistency and efficiency.
Branded Templates
Ready-to-use templates for posts, emails, and reports that save time and keep your messaging on-brand.
Visual and Voice Guidelines
A quick-reference guide for tone, colors, and style so your VA can create content that feels like you.
Campaign Dashboards
Simple tools to track marketing performance, spot trends, and make smart decisions faster.
Communication Systems
Defined tools and routines (like Slack, Notion, Loom) to stay aligned, organized, and productive while working remotely, including coordination across different working hours to ensure seamless collaboration.
These systems empower your VA to succeed and help you scale later with ease.
Step 3: Attract Thinkers, Not Just Doers
When writing your job post, don’t just say what to do. Highlight what you want to achieve. Make sure to emphasize the need for strong verbal communication skills, as these are essential for effective collaboration and for clearly conveying ideas in a remote marketing virtual assistant role.
Example:“We’re hiring a remote marketing virtual assistant to manage our content calendar, optimize email funnels, and proactively improve conversion rates.”
Look for:
- Case studies or campaign wins
- Familiarity with tools like HubSpot, Mailchimp, Canva, or ClickUp
- Experience working with digital marketing agencies is a plus
- Strategic thinking and communication skills
Step 4: Your first 90 days are critical
Hiring a skilled remote marketing virtual assistant is just the first step. The real results come when you onboard them effectively. A strong onboarding process builds trust, clarifies expectations, and speeds up productivity. Here’s a breakdown of a 90-day plan that works:
Step 5: Set KPIs & Track Progress Regularly
You can’t manage what you don’t measure.
To truly understand the impact of your marketing efforts and your virtual assistant, you need to track key metrics consistently. This data helps you make informed decisions, refine your strategy, and prove ROI.
Track:
- Leads generated
Track how many qualified prospects your marketing brings in. - Conversion rates
See which campaigns turn leads into customers. - Time saved
Measure how many hours your VA frees up each week. - Engagement & click-through rates
Monitor audience interaction with your content. - Revenue influenced
Connect marketing efforts to actual sales impact.
Use tools like Google Data Studio, HubSpot, or Notion dashboards. And hold monthly review meetings.
