LinkedIn Content Strategy for Virtual Assistants (2025)
Hey VAs 👋 Let’s talk LinkedIn — because most Virtual Assistants are seriously underusing it. Too many are either posting generic “admin help” content that gets ignored or avoiding it altogether because they think it’s just for job seekers. Meanwhile, the smart ones are quietly turning their LinkedIn presence into a consistent source of clients, collaborations, and visibility. I just published something that breaks this down clearly: LinkedIn isn’t a résumé platform anymore — it’s a business development engine. When you understand how to use it strategically, it becomes your number one source of leads. Here’s what I cover in my new article (yes, it’s free and built specifically for VAs): How to shift from posting random updates to running a real content system that builds trust The 3-part LinkedIn funnel (Authority, Value, Relationship) that turns content into clients 5 content types that actually get engagement and DMs from decision-makers How to use AI tools like ChatGPT and Notion AI to save hours on content creation The weekly posting schedule that keeps your feed active without burning you out Which metrics to focus on (hint: not likes or followers) The article walks you through how to combine AI with strategy to attract the right audience — founders, coaches, business owners — the ones who are already ready to hire help. If you’re ready to stop scrolling and start using LinkedIn as your main business growth tool, this is for you.

I’m amazed how LinkedIn is moving to be more like Facebook, post written by AI but on all manner of personal subjects… much less workplace these days.
Job search.
I completed my online Virtual Assistant course 2 months ago. I would appreciate any guide to landing a first entry level job. Thanks.

Depending what your skill set is you could look at some online groups such as Darren’s free VA community on Facebook and the app called Upworks too.
2.1 — Inbox Management | Newbie VA Course (Free)
A clean inbox is peace of mind — for you and for your client.As a Virtual Assistant, email management is one of your highest-trust responsibilities. Most founders drown in messages. Your job is to build calm through systems: - Create folders or labels for categories like Clients, Receipts, Projects, or Travel. - Use filters so that routine notifications skip the inbox. - Flag only what truly needs the client’s attention. 💡 The goal isn’t “zero inbox.” It’s zero confusion. When a client opens their inbox and instantly understands what’s urgent, what’s done, and what’s delegated — you’ve already delivered value. Pro tip: make a daily 10-minute habit to archive, tag, or follow up. Tiny consistency beats big clean-ups. 💬 Let’s Talk How do you like to organize your own inbox?Folders? Labels? Color-coded stars? Drop your best tip below 👇 you might inspire another VA to steal your system. 🔗 Classroom Lesson: Go to Lesson 2.1 — Inbox Management ⏭️ Next Lesson: 2.2 — Calendar Management

I use AI within emails and teams to suggest on best layout. Folders and subfolders. Naming conventions that allow for expansion with time. Next years folders etc…. It has saved me lots of thinking time and I often ask “why did you recommend that?” And when I read the reply I think Oh yep, logical, I would have missed that!

@Wesley Penner I just hated the cut throat, stab each other in the back mentality of corporate life. Complete disregard for family life and having a balance …. The theory that you are totally replaceable and if you don’t like the situation you know where the door is. There is no reason businesses need to behave like that - it’s just driven by egos…. I’m so glad I am out of it!
3.3 — Passwords, Logins & Access Management | Newbie VA Course (Free)
One of the most critical (but overlooked) parts of VA work is handling access securely.Mistakes here lead to chaos or worse — losing control of client data. Best practices: - Use a password manager like LastPass, Bitwarden, or 1Password - Request “item-level” access rather than sending plain passwords - Create a "credentials index" with links, descriptions, and status - Review and revoke access if a project ends or changes 💡 Treat client access management as part of your professional trust. It speaks louder than any portfolio. 💬 Let’s Talk Have you ever used a password manager?If yes, what do you like about it?If not, what’s holding you back? Drop your answer below 👇 🔗 Classroom Lesson: Go to Lesson 3.3 — Passwords, Logins & Access Management ⏭️ Next Lesson: 3.4 — Meeting & Note Systems

Yes I do, there are far too many to remember for different clients and it’s not secure to have them written in the back of a note book. It makes life so much easier and is more professional for the company too.
2.2 — Calendar Management | Newbie VA Course (Free)
Your client’s calendar is more than dates — it’s the backbone of their productivity.As a VA, managing that calendar means controlling time, not just blocking slots. - Create event templates (calls, reviews, buffer time). - Sync apps (Zoom, Google Meet, Calendly) so it all connects. - Always triple-check time zones before confirming. 💡 A well-managed calendar saves hours of confusion and double-booking. Let’s Talk What’s one trick you use (or would like to use) to protect your client’s calendar from chaos? Drop your idea below 👇 🔗 Classroom Lesson: Go to Lesson 2.2 — Calendar Management ⏭️ Next Lesson: 2.3 — Communication Basics

I always make sure lunchtime is booked in. I always schedule a time for them and me to meet, review or for them to approve my outputs and finally if they have a meeting that cannot be overbooked I always write - do not overbook! But honestly meeting hygiene is dreadful in most companies, there is just no etiquette!

@Wesley Penner agreed. removing that initial scheduling issue for them is such a huge barrier for having head space! Well done us!
