But, the industry as a whole is expanding, too, and it’s becoming more essential to set yourself apart. This is where niching down comes in. But, what is the best niche for a virtual assistant business? Pinterest can be the ideal skill to add to your repertoire. Let’s find out why!
What Is A Pinterest Virtual Assistant?
A Pinterest virtual assistant is a type of virtual assistant for small business owners that either focuses their efforts solely on Pinterest marketing or offers Pinterest marketing as one of their services.
Pinterest for business is a booming marketing niche as the platform is becoming increasingly popular. According to Hootsuite, Pinterest sees 1.16 billion visits a month and 50% of Pinterest users see the platform as a shopping destination (making it a perfect marketing choice for e-commerce).
The platform is also a place to find inspiration – home decor, recipes, fitness, and travel are some of the most well-searched categories on Pinterest.
What Does A Pinterest Virtual Assistant Do?
As a Pinterest VA, you’ll focus on achieving marketing goals on Pinterest, such as encouraging newsletter sign-ups, driving website traffic, and increasing sales. To do this, you’ll need a deep understanding of the Pinterest algorithm and Pinterest SEO, and keep up-to-date with Pinterest trends.
Pinterest virtual assistant tasks include:
Creating a Pinterest marketing strategy
Doing keyword research for writing Pin descriptions and Pinterest board descriptions
Using design software or Pin templates to create Pins
Doing Pinterest account audits and improving Pinterest business accounts
Setting up Pinterest business accounts
Analyzing Pinterest metrics and advising strategy changes
How Much Do Pinterest Virtual Assistants Make?
There is no cap on the money you can make as a Pinterest virtual assistant. The amount you charge for your services will depend on your experience level. You could charge an hourly rate (usually between $30 to $50) or a monthly amount per client.
Generally, as a full-time Pinterest virtual assistant, you can expect to earn anything between $3,000 and $5,000. I currently earn over $30k a month from managing Pinterest accounts and have a full-time team who assists me.
To help set your prices, do your research on Pinterest businesses to see what other managers and VAs charge and what’s included in their different packages.
