Who (Actually) Hires Virtual Assistants
This is a tricky question to answer because, honestly, the list of who could benefit from a Virtual Assistant is endless.
Some Virtual Assistants choose to niche down to a specific industry—maybe only working with real estate agents, coaches, or creatives. This can be a smart move because it helps you specialize and market yourself more clearly. But there’s also a huge benefit to staying broad, like our team does: we get to support a wide variety of businesses, which keeps our work exciting and flexible. Both approaches work—you just have to decide what makes sense for you.
While big corporations and larger businesses sometimes hire virtual assistants, they often prefer to bring those roles in-house. That means most of the demand comes from small businesses, solo entrepreneurs, and growing brands—people who need extra hands on deck but don’t want (or can’t justify) the cost of hiring a full-time employee.
That’s where the magic of a Virtual Assistant comes in. Businesses don’t have to worry about overhead costs like office space, benefits, or equipment—we’ve already got the tools we need and we work remotely. This flexibility makes it possible for all kinds of business owners to get the help they need, exactly when they need it.
Here are just a few examples of industries that regularly benefit from hiring a VA:
Influencers + Content Creators → scheduling posts, editing reels, managing inboxes, brand partnerships
Estheticians + Wellness Professionals → booking clients, managing schedules, keeping socials active
Photographers → editing workflows, blogging galleries, social media management
Real Estate Agents → listing coordination, transaction management, client communication
Online Retail Shops → product uploads, customer service, email marketing
Massage Therapists & Health Practitioners → appointment scheduling, reminder emails, digital forms
Lawyers + Legal Professionals → document prep, calendar management, client onboarding
Bloggers → content formatting, Pinterest support, SEO help
Property Managers → tenant communication, digital paperwork, payment tracking
Food & Beverage Shops → social media, newsletters, digital organization, local event promotion
And honestly this list could go on forever. If you’ve got recurring tasks, client communication, or marketing to juggle, there’s a good chance a Virtual Assistant could make your life a whole lot easier.
Stay tuned—I’ll be breaking down the types of services Virtual Assistants can offer across industries like these (and more). Spoiler: if you’ve ever wished you had “another you” in your business, that’s basically what a VA can be.
