Can you picture yourself working alongside influencers? The idea of being an influencer’s assistant is a nice Venn diagram where social media, inbox management (admin work), and campaign management overlap.

I started my virtual assistant business this year but didn’t want to fall into only doing customer service tasks. Wanting to specialize in different branches— lo and behold — I found a course on how to become an IA!

So this is my roadmap: starting from how I discovered the course, to how I approached and assisted my first influencer client.

How I found out about the course and how much it costs

I listened to an episode of The Soulcial Scoop here, where the course creators (Jessica & Olivia) described how they saw a need in the market for influencer’s assistants because busy influencers have asked them where to find good assistants and delegate tasks off their plate.
