Why Should A Writer Hire A VA?
I have always loved writing. Creating words with my mind, controlling the story, slaying the dragons, and finding the heroes. I took creative writing and worked on the school newspaper all throughout middle and high school. I wrote, all the time, but I never really thought of myself as a writer. It almost came as a surprise I could not only write, and paid for doing what I love!
Most writers are passionate about their work and somewhere in their minds may even feel a little guilty calling what they love a job. The biggest notion you must overcome when you decide to pursue a career as a writer is the idea you are not working a real job. Once you get past family and friends thinking you have all this free time and call yourself a professional, you need to start treating your writing as a business.
One way to respect yourself as a professional is to hire a Virtual Assistant. I know this may sound strange, but a good VA can help you to become more productive, and adjust your focus to the important things. Here are some ways having a VA can free up your time for actual writing.
Instead of spending all your time working on activities a VA can do, you will be more productive focusing on writing projects to create income. Whether you are a freelance writer or a novelist, your best source of income comes from writing not setting up a blog post, tweaking your website, or scheduling your social media.

Social Media Management
If you want people to read your writing, they want to know more about you. People love to know more about other people! They want to be a part of your life. Managing social media is very time-consuming, but an expert VA can help create your social media, manage content on your reddit account, update a Pinterest board, and bump up your content on Facebook, Twitter, and other sites by commenting on and discussing the posts.
Research
A VA can do all the pesky research taking up much of your time. If your character is going to practice law in 1860, a VA can make sure you have the historical facts to make that character believable.This goes for any content you may need research. Give it to the VA and leave yourself free to tell the story.
Scheduled Writing
A VA with a background in writing can help with content and schedule blog posts. By allowing them to ghostwrite some of your content and help with editing, you will free yourself up for the writing and other income producing activities.
Maintaining Your Writing Calendar
If you have clients you write for on an ongoing basis, you can have a VA help with brainstorming topics, researching themes, and preparing the blogs on schedule.
General VA Duties
This can include answering emails, managing a calendar, following up with clients, building your database, transcription of ideas, and helping promote your professional persona.These are a few examples of the vast amount of work a dependable VA can help you maintain. And since the VA market is taking off, you can easily find someone within your budget.
