If you’re a coach of any sort, you’ve probably been told over and over again to “Stop trading your time for money and start building some passive revenue!” And by now, you probably know that digital products are the best way to do this. Even with this knowledge, you still probably face the nightmare of implementation.
That’s where an internet marketing virtual assistant comes into play.
The truth of the matter is that you don’t need to worry about the implementation. Your role as a coach is to come up with incredible content that helps the most amount of people as possible. There’s always going to be people to help you with the tech stuff. However, your own unique outlook and experience helping your clients can’t be duplicated.
With that in mind, here are 5 information products services that an Internet Marketing virtual assistant can offer you.
1. E-Book Editing and Proofreading
One of the first information products that you should look into creating is an e-book. However, the writing part is hard enough if you’re overly worried with how to make the text be attractive and readable or if your grammar is okay. The secret to this is partnering with a virtual assistant so that you can just sit back and let the words flow.
Then, your VA can take all your words and organize, edit, and proofread them to create something useful and profitable for you.
2. Outsourcing Management
To make the launch of your information products successful, there’s many pieces that need to be pulled together. Perhaps two of the most important pieces to manage are an effective copywriter and a knockout graphic designer. But if you’re not used to communicating your ideas about what your goals are for the project, managing these freelancers can be a challenging time.
A skilled virtual assistant knows how to transform your vision into reality by playing the role of project manager who just reports to you for your approval.
3. Sales Page Formatting
Once you have your graphics created and sales copy written, you need a killer sales page filled with testimonial graphics and eye catching headlines to entice potential customers into buying. Formatting a sales page is an art form in itself. When you work with an Internet Marketing virtual assistant, you get to use the skills of someone who has “been there, done that” when it comes to sales pages.
That way, you get a much higher Return on Investmentt than if you tried to do it yourself and wasted hours of time you could have been creating more content.
4. Shopping Cart Setup
Now that your information product is created, you need a way to get it into the hands of your customers and get your money. To do this, you’re going to need an e-commerce system like 1ShoppingCart or KickStartCart. Do you know how much goes into setting this up? You’d be surprised. You have to get all the payment systems set up, a way to deliver the digital products, as well as making sure your customers know exactly how to get their products (sparing you from customer service nightmares!).
Try doing this yourself and again, you’re wasting hours upon hours that could be better spent elsewhere.
5. Affiliate Program Management
Just like you’re looking to create passive income, the same thing can be said about your clients. If you’ve been coaching for any amount of time, you know that your best referrals are going to come from your most satisfied clients. An Internet marketing virtual assistant can help you set up an affiliate program and connect with your clients to teach them how to promote your new information product.
Oh - and your VA can also spare you from the hassle of having to handle the payment schedule for your affiliates too.
