Virtual Assistant Services

Unlock your productivity with our virtual assistant services. We can handle administrative tasks for you, including design & branding services, social media management, proofreading, copy editing  and more, freeing up your valuable time to focus on growing your business.

Design Service

Our design service package offers a comprehensive solution for businesses looking to elevate their brand and visual identity. We start by conducting a thorough analysis of your existing content and concepts, identifying strengths and areas for improvement. We will work with you to develop a cohesive and visually stunning design that accurately reflects your brand and message.

We also offer ongoing support and maintenance to ensure that your brand stays current and consistent across all platforms. Whether you're a small startup or a well-established company, our design service package has everything you need to take your brand to the next level.

Social Media Management

Social media management and support services are designed to help businesses and individuals navigate the complex world of online communication and engagement. These services often include a wide range of activities such as creating and managing social media profiles, monitoring online conversations and mentions, responding to customer enquiries and complaints, and developing strategies for content creation and distribution.

Additionally, We offer analytics and reporting services, which can help businesses understand the impact of their social media efforts and make data-driven decisions.

proofreading & COPY EDITING

Proofreading and copyediting are important services that help ensure the quality and accuracy of written material. Proofreading involves reviewing a document to catch and correct any spelling, grammar, punctuation, or formatting errors. Copyediting, on the other hand, goes a step further and also checks for clarity, consistency, and logical flow of the text. These services are often used by authors, publishers, businesses, and individuals to ensure that their written material is polished and professional.

It is important to note that proofreading and copyediting are different from content editing, which focuses on the overall structure, organization, and development of the text.

FAQs

If you have any questions about the virtual services you can find most of the answers here - if there’s something that is not covered then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

What are virtual services?

Our virtual services offer you the ability to have someone working for your business who’s online. We can provide you with a wide range of time-saving skills that can ensure your business looks amazing, shouts about it, and says it all in the right tone to suit your brand.  

All of this can be done remotely, with a small amount of input for a huge impact on your business. We can save you valuable time and energy by taking on some of the tasks that are holding you back from being with your clients. Allow us to take on some of the heavy lifting.

Why are you better than hiring someone?

Being your own boss means that you must run every department – and that’s where I can help! By outsourcing some of the items on your very long to-do-list, you can free up valuable time to concentrate on the parts of the business that you really love.  

And, because I am not your employee, and you only pay me for the services you need, I can free up your time by taking care of all the tasks that are bogging you down!

How does it work?
  • Work out what services you need, what content you already have, what kind of support you are looking for, what aims and objectives your business has, also let me know your budget.
  • Design and Branding prices are based on quotes with a 25% deposit payable upfront.
  • All Social Media Management packages and services are paid monthly in advance on the 1st of each month. Additional services will be quoted based on the project requirements
  • Proof Reading and Copy-Editing rates are based on up-front word count quotes with a 25% deposit.
  • Then email me with the details and we can organise a quick call or zoom meeting
  • We’ll work together to agree on the exact services that you require
  • You’ll probably find that you need less than you think because I am super-efficient
What is your turnaround time?

Different tasks are going to take different amounts of time and I would ask that you provide a minimum of 24 hours’ notice for work needed. If something is urgent or there’s a deadline then I will need all the necessary content at least a week in advance, so that there’s plenty of time to get the work completed.

How do we ensure confidentiality and security working with you online?

Here at JD Virtual, we take confidentiality and security very seriously and are strictly professional, we are registered with the ICO and are fully GDPR Compliant. It is something that we expect from the services that we use, and endeavour to ensure the same for our clients.  

When we start working together, there will be a formal contract of terms and conditions, that we will both sign. This will outline our expectations and detail our confidentiality processes.  

Everything that we do online is fully backed-up to our cloud servers to ensure that nothing gets lost. We also use two-factor authentication where possible for additional security.

What experience do you have in design and branding?

With a master’s degree in Illustration from Falmouth University and over 20 years of owning and running small businesses I am well versed in the importance of the right branding, design, advertising, marketing, social media campaigns, business presence, tone, and audience.  

I have personally created the branding, advertising, and marketing for over twenty businesses ranging in size, type and complexity and understand the value of identity in the current climate.

What experience do you have in social media management

The use of social media as a vessel to promote your business is now simply, a non-negotiable process. You have to do it – people expect it – your customers are looking for it!  

As the owner and manager of several small businesses, I have extensive experience in utilising social media to promote brands. With a background in literature and design, alongside personal experience in growing my own brands online, I am well placed to help and advise you on your social media journey.  

I have used Facebook and Instagram (alongside several other social media platforms) since their creation and understand the algorithms and how to get noticed. I know that regular, consistent, on-brand posting has significant impact. I also know that this can take up an incredible amount of valuable time. If you can provide me with content and captions – I can turn this into scheduled posting that reaches your target audience and takes away the stress and strain of social media management.

What if I need you in my office?

If this is the case then I am sorry, I won’t be the right fit for you. I work virtually for health reasons and if you’d like to work online in the future, I will be here.

Can you guarantee me a social media following that will bring income to my business?

I can certainly try! If you have an advertising budget and are prepared to pay for campaigns, then definitely. If you are just wanting me to schedule, check and reply to your posts – then possibly not.  

As a business owner, you need a social media presence that has up-to-date information that looks good and is visible in as many categories and place as possible. This I can do. I can create monthly reports that detail how and who your content is reaching. I can also work with you on improving this. I can also ensure that your content looks good, is reaching the right audience and all comments and leads are being actively replied to.  

For the most part, I have lots of experience with many different platforms and can give you relevant and up-to-date advice and guidance.

What experience do you have in proofreading and copy editing?

I have extensive qualifications in the field of literature and as an avid reader and lover of words – I am well placed to help you with your writing. I started my career working in bookshops, I then went on to become a qualified librarian, English Teacher and Exam marker at GCSE level. Most recently, I completed my master’s degree in Illustration at Falmouth University and am in the process of writing my own book.

I have the following qualifications:

  • Children’s Bookseller at Ottakars
  • Qualified Academic Librarian ACLIP
  • Qualified FE Teacher Cert Ed with QTLS
  • Specialist English TA
  • English Teacher KS2,3 & GCSE
  • English Degree BA
  • Master’s Degree MA
Why is the rate seemingly higher than an employee?

Because I am not your employee you only pay me for the hours that I have worked – you don’t have to pay me for any of this:

  • Insurance
  • HR
  • NI/Tax
  • Sick Pay
  • Pension
  • Holiday Pay
  • Lunch Breaks
  • Medical Appointments
  • Equipment
  • Software

You’ll probably find that having a virtual assistant actually saves you money!

What if it isn't working out?

I will try my hardest to meet your expectations and provide you with the best service I possibly can – but sometimes that won’t work for either of us. Once all outstanding bills are settled, then we can shake hands and move on.

What's the notice period?

As the Social Media Package and Services are paid upfront there is no notice period.  At the end of the month, or paid service, as stated in our contracts, the term will conclude.    

As for the other services, once all our bills are settled then we are all settled.
