Online Video Specialist Training for Virtual Assistants
Calling all Virtual Assistants and Online Support Professionals…
In this New World of Web 2.0 and Social Marketing, the Demand for VAs with Online Video Skills Has Never Been Higher…
Announcing the first ever ‘Video VA‘ course…for VAs and other online support professionals who want to offer a specialized skillset to existing (and new!) clients…
From the desk of: Cindy Greenway
Dear Fellow VA,
Consider these statistics:
- People are watching 2 billion videos a day on YouTube and uploading hundreds of thousands of videos daily.
- YouTube is now the second most popular search engine, just behind Google. Your customers (and your clients’ customers) are looking for you on YouTube.
- 24 hours of video uploaded every minute, that’s the equivalent of over 130,000 full length Hollywood movie releases every week and the equivalent of 130,000+ full-length movies in theaters each week
- Move video is uploaded to YouTube in 60 days than all 3 major US networks created in 60 years
- More page views every day than the primetime audience of all three networks
And it’s not just YouTube! Online Video is huge across social media. In fact, over 496 years worth of video is viewed on Facebook every single day!
“175 million US Internet users watched online video content in September 2010 for an average of 14.4 hours per viewer,” report ComScore. “The total US Internet audience engaged in more than 5.2 billion viewing sessions during the course of the month.”
Business owners are noticing that videos:
- Instantly increase conversion rates on sales pages
- Keep visitors on their site longer and have them wanting more
- Quickly create brand recognition for their company
- Build immediate rapport with website visitors and potential customers
So what does this mean to you as a Virtual Assistant?
As more and more business owners seek to add online video to their business building strategies, the need for a VA who specializes in this area will grow exponentially.
And the reality is that most virtual assistants out there do *not* provide these services.
Clients prefer to hire someone who can take care of all their needs – someone who can help them with all aspects of online video – video sales pages, how-to videos, brand-building videos, social media videos, YouTube promotion videos, web tv channels or videos on websites or blogs. The need for a consistent and compelling video presence has never been greater.
With video skills in your Virtual Assistant Portfolio you can add another (higher priced) service to your clients!
Here are a few of the things that you will be able to do once you have these skills under your belt:
- create online promotional videos – help your client produce videos that can be posted on their sales pages to assist in marketing efforts
- combine your clients’ social media efforts with online video to turbocharge their online visibility
- product quick and easy “off camera” videos – help your clients get professional video online that doesn’t even require them to be on camera!
- upload and distribute your clients’ videos for maximum exposure and higher SEO rankings
- create video based information products – record and create information based videos that can be sold as products online
This is the only Online Video class created especially for Virtual Assistants!
There are certainly plenty of courses out there which will teach you everything you could possibly ever want to know about video and audio production (and more!). As a VA you simply don’t need to know how to do everything – so why waste valuable time, money and effort learning skills that you don’t need?
We are huge fans of keeping it simple, and as such will be teaching you the specific skills that we KNOW clients are looking for.
During this training you will learn:
- what business owners need help with when it comes to online video and what you can do (and not do!) to support them
- the best uses for video – specific ways to help your clients win with online video
- in-home ‘Studio’ set up – it’s easier than you think! advise your client on how to set up their own ‘studio’ – including lighting and equipment (or do it FOR them if they don’t have the equipment or desire to do it themselves) how to shoot your video and ensure your client looks good on camera
- how to easily edit a video file - a little goes a long way!
- where and how to upload videos to leverage your client’s expertise
- how to connect video to social media – creating the ultimate match made in web heaven for your client
- the options available to your clients - including PowerPoint, Camtasia and Jing
- all about webcasting and streaming video – the next frontier for live video and webcasts

Cindy and Tina are experts in the skills they teach, walking the class step-by-step through the details of each session.
The videos and class notes are a hugely valuable resource. If you’re looking for a way to increase your value to your clients or you want to broaden your career path, I highly recommend taking the Hot Skills VA Training!”

“There are very few resources in which VA’s help other VA’s to succeed and remain a constant support to each other. [Generally] top VA’s are not willing to help other VA businesses, let alone set up a structured course that is more affordable than paying for hourly VA coaching.
Tina and Cindy teach the knowledge VA’s need to know to start and keep a successful VA business, and they are also eager to answer any questions we may have, at any time. (I constantly ask questions, even if they aren’t out loud, and I felt encouraged to ask if I didn’t understand something and not feel bad if I didn’t catch on as quickly as my classmates).”
