How to Become a Pinterest Virtual Assistant With No Experience
/Starting our Pinterest agency completely changed my life.
I went from working in a corporate job that I could not stand to building a business that truly lights me up.
After having people slide into my DMs for two years straight asking how to start a Pinterest agency, in 2022 we rolled out The Pinterest VA School. The Pinterest VA School is the exact roadmap to building a Pinterest virtual assistant business that brings in $4,000 - $10,000 a month.
In this post, I’m hoping to share with you how you can get started as a Pinterest virtual assistant with little to no experience.
First things first, what is a Pinterest Virtual Assistant?
First things first…
Before we dive into the steps to become a Pinterest virtual assistant, let's understand the role. A Pinterest virtual assistant is someone who helps businesses and entrepreneurs manage and optimize their Pinterest accounts. This involves tasks such as creating and curating pins, scheduling content, engaging with followers, and analyzing Pinterest analytics to drive traffic and conversions.
Now that we know what a Pinterest virtual assistant is, let’s break down what you need to know to get started in the space.
Step 1: Understand Pinterest
To become a Pinterest virtual assistant, you must first become proficient in using Pinterest. Familiarize yourself with the platform, its features, and its audience. Create your Pinterest account, pin regularly, and gain a deep understanding of how pins, boards, and group boards work.
This is the main reason WHY The Pinterest VA School exists, so you can have the complete roadmap to Pinterest + building a business.
Step 2: Develop Relevant Skills
To excel as a Pinterest virtual assistant, you need a specific skill set. These skills include:
Graphic Design: Creating eye-catching pins is crucial. Familiarize yourself with graphic design tools like Canva to craft appealing pins.
Content Creation: Write engaging pin descriptions and create content that resonates with your client's target audience.
Analytics: Understand Pinterest analytics to measure the effectiveness of your efforts and make data-driven decisions.
SEO: Learn about Pinterest SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to optimize pin descriptions and keywords for better visibility.
Step 3: Define Your Packages + Offer Your Services
Market yourself as a Pinterest virtual assistant. You can create a website or use freelancing platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, or Freelancer to advertise your services. Clearly outline what services you offer, your pricing structure, and your portfolio on these platforms.
Step 4: Continuous Learning
Pinterest is constantly evolving, so it's essential to stay updated with the latest changes and trends. Join Pinterest-related forums, read blogs, and consider taking online courses to sharpen your skills.
