Offering AI Influencer & Ad Creation as a Virtual Assistant
This is a fascinating direction for VAs and content creators alike, and I wanted to share a few thoughts based on what I’ve seen in the wild and from working with clients who are experimenting with AI-video & virtual influencer workflows.

That created a barrier to entry for many small businesses and solo creators. The emergence of AI-generated talking avatars means that barrier is dropping fast. Because the cost & time are shrinking, companies are finally willing to test volume. Instead of 1 big polished ad every quarter, they can now try 10–20 short videos each month, vary the creative, test the hook, pivot quickly. The math is shifting from “must hit big” to “can afford to iterate.” Virtual influencer personas are especially interesting because the “face” of the content becomes a reusable asset. Once you build the avatar, every new campaign can use that same avatar—different script, different background, maybe different language—but you’re amortizing the persona creation cost over many videos. Why VAs are especially positioned for this VAs already know how to coordinate—whether it’s scheduling, production, uploading, managing assets. Adding AI-video creation is a natural extension of that coordination skillset. The creative logistics change from “hire a shooter, book a location” to “select or build an avatar, write the script, render the video, deliver formats.” That’s still process-driven and repeatable—perfect for a VA workflow. Because early adopters can operate without massive budgets, VAs can enter with modest setup (software subscription + scripting time) and yet offer clients a high-perceived value service. For example: replace 5 traditional ads at $1K each with 20 AI-ads at $150 each—you win because you deliver huge volume, the client wins because they test more.
