As a beginner virtual assistant you might not have the professional skills to offer many services but here are a few in-demand services you can offer without any specialised skill as an entry-level virtual assistant:

1. Email Management

Email management is an interesting skill that many would-be VAs don’t know about but are totally equipped to do. It also happens to be one of the single greatest problems that busy entrepreneurs need to be solved.

Email management, sometimes called inbox management, involves you accessing your client’s email inbox (or inboxes) and getting things sorted and organized for the client.
You may even pick up some customer service responsibilities by replying to common inquiries, deleting spams and keeping your client up to date.

2. Blog Management

If you’re familiar with WordPress — or even if you aren’t but you learn fast — you can do all sorts of blog management tasks. A lot of entrepreneurs and small businesses that hire virtual assistants run blogs on their websites, and there’s a lot of every-day administrative tasks that come along with managing the blog. Much of it is time-consuming but not very high-level stuff, making it perfect for outsourcing to you.
You can Proofreading the drafts approve and reply comments, format posts (adding headings, etc.) Add links to post and even schedule posts to go live when they’re ready


3. Graphic Design

If you’re visually oriented and you know your way around free graphic design services like Canva (or you can figure it out pretty fast — it’s fairly intuitive!), you can make a real difference by offering graphic design for your VA clients.

4. Transcription

As more and more entrepreneurs are doing things like live videos, podcasts, webinars, and courses, the need for transcription services is growing. Transcription is something that many people can do — it doesn’t take any specialized skills, though you’ll do better if you can type quickly and pick up some helpful transcription software like oTranscribe (free) or Transcribe (paid).

5. Customer Service
Customer service skills are ones that many people possess naturally, and there are tons of sales-based online businesses that need customer service reps. This is a great role to outsource to a VA, and it’s a great role for an entry-level VA to pick up.

6. Social Media

If you enjoy social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, and you feel you have a knack for producing posts that are interesting, you might be interested in adding social media to your initial virtual assistant service offerings. It’s something that many business owners feel they should be doing but few have the time to do consistently, which makes it a great task for you to pick up.
