Outsource Your Internet Marketing Tasks to a Virtual Assistant – Part One

February 22, 2010 by: Joey Wong

Internet marketing can be extremely time consuming for online business owners, yet it is vital in order to succeed on the internet.  Some business owners may outsource their internet marketing task to consultants and can be extremely costly, some would rather do it in house so they can make decisions on how they market their business online.  For those who chose to do their marketing in-house, yet failed to have the time to complete their tasks should consider a internet marketing virtual assistant.  Although it is also outsourcing internet marketing, yet the owners have full control of which tasks they would like to outsource and also to avoid high monthly cost of hiring an internet marketing consultant.  A Virtual Assistant only charges for the time spent on the tasks delegated.

Now, here are some ideas of internet marketing services you can have a VA to assist you with.

Affiliate marketing which is a form of performance based marketing in which you pay a certain percentage of your sales or an amount per lead to your website when your affiliates promote your business through their websites or articles. A VA can help you monitor your affiliates’ performance and send out newsletters to your affiliates to motivate them in generating more sales or leads for you and notifying them on your latest promotions.

Keyword research is important in order for your website to be search engine optimized. A VA can help you perform research to determine what keywords or keyword phrases you should focus on your website in order for your website to be ranked high on the search engine result page. There are also long-tail keywords that your business may want to focus in order to get the best results because they tend to have less competition and people who searched with detailed wording usually have a better conversion rate lending from a search to a sales. A VA can also research on what keywords or keyword phrases your competitors are focusing on.

Website optimization includes using the keywords on various contents within the website. These will include the title of each page and the meta description included on each page of the website. In order to optimize a website, you need to know HTML and have well written content with your keywords or keyword phrases spread throughout your website yet the density is not too high that the search engine would consider as spam. A VA can help you analyze your website title, meta description, keyword density and content to improve listing on the search engine.

Search engine marketing tasks such as pay per click bid management, search engine submission, link building strategy such as article, directory and press release submissionand social media optimization can all be outsourced to a Virtual Assistant to manage.

    Great idea. I guess it comes down to a dilema – An online business that can afford these services has already somewhat got a taste of success, but those who really need these services probably can’t afford them anyway.
    Maybe you have a really good price structure from high to low?

    Yes, we can provide a great pricing structure because we are only paid by the time spent on the specific task for those who may not afford to have a complete internet marketing consultant service. We can suggest ideas on all the internet marketing duties that the company may choose to do themselves and assist on what they are not familiar with or may not have time to do themselves.
