What is a Digital Media VA?

A digital media virtual assistant is "more than just a VA". I call us that you are looking for: a mix of online business, social media, digital marketing, administrative and industry knowledge.

How much do VAs charge?

Stateside digital media VAs will charge anywhere between $12-55/hour. It depends on the VA's skillset, availability and high-level business marketing knowledge and implementation tech expertise.

Where can I find a good VA?

I recommend using word of mouth referrals or fill out the form on this page and I'll share your jobop with my digital media VA workgroup.

Virtual assistants are contractors and not considered employees. You pay them per your agreement, usually per hour or per project. At the end of the year, you'll submit a 1099.

Is it possible to hire a VA for just a few hours?

Yes! Many digital media VAs in my group are stay-at-home-moms who are working part-time. You will come to an agreement about how many hours you need weekly or monthly. You do not have to commit to large chunks of time

Here's why your first hire should be a Digital Marketing Assistant

I see so many business owners (course creators, e-commerce shop owners, business coaches and online entrepreneurs) who are scared to make their first hire.

They know they need to grow a team and need help (like yesterday) delegating key tasks in their business.

They usually don’t know where to start because they need such a mix of skillsets, masteries, tech knowledge, marketing strategy and admin help.

A general admin VA who needs marching orders is not going to cut it.

A “doer” who can’t actually “do” is going to stress you out and cause more work for you.

What they need is the right person:

Someone who has the online business knowledge and wherewithal.
Someone who has the drive.
Someone who figures things out.
Someone who loves challenges and learning.
Someone who is NOT intimidated by tech.
Someone who can wear multiple hats in your business
Someone who is invested in and cares in your business
Someone who is the IMPLEMENTER of all the things.

Enter: the coveted and highly sought-after
Unicorn Digital Marketing Virtual Assistant
(We do exist.)

Hire a Unicorn is my go-to recommendation for anyone who needs Virtual Assistant support in your business (even though it's so much more than that). Not only do I share Hire a Unicorn as a resource all the time with my peers, I was able to find my dream team member who has been with me as a Virtual Assistant turned Online Business Manager for nearly two years and counting.

All those tasks that can easily pile up like onboarding clients, sending invoices, scheduling emails, preparing for a launch and taking care of communication with my community are handled so that I can focus on the business growth.

Emily found the team member to support me and it has allowed me to add additional revenue streams to my copywriting business, double my profits, and consistently take four months off every year.

Basically my business wouldn't exist without this level of support and it feels incredibly good to know someone has always got my b

I hired my very first VA through Emily’s great pool of trained VAs. I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect. Within weeks, that hire had proven to be exactly what I needed to take my business to the next level. Several years and 2 multi-million dollar companies later, I have several of her Unicorns on my team streamlining everything from graphics, content, socials, tech, community, and copy. I don’t know how I would function without them.

I have hired 2 VAs trained by Emily and they have quickly become valuable assets on my team! One is my content manager and the other is a community manager/Pinterest Strategist. They are so good at what they do! I got instant results and it has taken a load off my plate and allowed me to begin scaling my business

Emily's Digital Unicorns are my only source of virtual assistants. I've used three of her Unicorns for short-term projects and employ one of her Unicorns as my long term assistant. Every VA has been well trained, excellent at communicating and able to execute what I need as a business owner and podcast host.

Thanks to their incredible support, I'm able to focus on the things that really matter to me - serving my clients and being with my family.

"My new VA is fantabulous!! I’m so happy I hired both of them! She has been awesome, creative and has been such an asset to me and my business. She does Pinterest, SEO and Facebook Management.

"Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart all the way to the top Emily!!"

If you've been considering finding a team member who is not only knowledgeable in their field but an expert, Emily's unicorns are the best bet.

Every team member we have hired through Emily has been acutely aware and keen to understand our struggles and diving in head first into the business - not merely a bystander, but an action taker.

When we begin looking for a new team member, for anything, my first thought is always Emily.

I help manage an online group of Entrepreneurs in a membership program and having Emily's knowledge of the online business world, and her VA connections has been one of the MOST helpful resources for us as admins in the group, and to the other members.

She is a super-connector and always provides TOP NOTCH advice, referrals, and industry-leading VAs to our members. She is a true example of when you do quality work and have a big heart how much impact you can have on the world!

We see other members suggesting her services and the VAs she trains all the time and from businesses just starting out to 6 figure business owners, we never hesitate to suggest her services!

Got someone in mind?
