Ep 106 - How To Delegate To A Video Editing Virtual Assistant
Content marketing is well known for being an excellent approach to promote your brand and reach your target audience. Making Video Content is one type of content marketing that is gaining popularity. In fact, according to a CISCO analysis, videos accounted for 82 % of all internet traffic.
In the previous episode, I talked about why and how a Video Editing Virtual Assistant can help you level up your online content, and today I'm going to talk about how you can delegate to a Video Editing Virtual Assistant to help you build your business and achieve success.
Different Levels of A Video Editing Virtual Assistant
Follower
They have a limited skill set. They are only capable of basic editing and are unable to work without specific instructions. As a business owner and leader, you must be prepared to give detailed guidelines and instructions as you control the process while dealing with this form of a video editing VA.
Doer
They specialize in one format, which might be testimonials, snippets, or vlogs, depending on your needs. If you want to hire a doer, you may either give them the raw material or have them speak directly with the client. Video editing VA already has a format in place for creating a specific style of video, but you can always re-check in and give tweaks here and there.
Expert Video Editors
They fit with your overall business goals and objectives. Furthermore, they have a variety of skills that they can use on your content, as well as a plan based on your goals. Most importantly, they will require less monitoring because they will be able to submit the type of video editing you agreed on.
How To Delegate To A Video Editing Virtual Assistant
Finding a video editing virtual assistant to help you create high-quality video material is a difficult task, so make sure that once you find one, you can build a relationship with them so they can help you grow your business.
Here are effective ways to delegate to a video editing virtual assistant:
Make use of task management tool in creating the assignment
Content platforms are only useful if you stick to a system and utilize it as a guide for all of the content you create, thus having a task management tool helps ensure an organized or should I say systematic flow in your delegating process. Be specific about the responsibilities that your video editor needs to know about his projects and the type of video they will edit so that there are no misunderstandings and everything is clear to them.
Provide as many details as you can
Relating to the first one, video editors would appreciate it if you provide them with detailed information about your tasks, such as format, frame, target audience, and platform. This can benefit you in the long run as they can develop techniques that suit your needs for video content.
Show them the peg that you want for your videos
Your task delegation process is providing your video editors with your logos and images, as well as your brand colors so that the film is consistent with the business's identity. Displaying pegs to your video editing VA can also make their job a little easier.
Inform your video editing virtual assistant of the order or sequence of the videos if they will be merging multiple videos into one
Again, providing these details to your video editing VA can make a difference to the whole process as it will be a lot easier for them to create the video you wanted for your business.
Always give feedback to your virtual assistant and be specific
It may take some time for you and your virtual assistant to establish a sync workflow or chemistry, but consistent communication will help things go more smoothly. Don't forget to ask your video editor for an approximate due date and a thoroughly detailed timeline.
