Virtual Assistant

Our company is in need of someone special to fill a role as a virtual assistant on our team to help us with outbound marketing and lead generation through Instagram, Facebook, and other platforms to promote our online workshops.
About You
In order to be successful at this job, here are some things we are looking for in our ideal person (hopefully you!):
Learn how to discern whether a profile is a good prospect or not for our business based on the criteria provided. For example, we will have a large list of profiles and one of the criteria may be “business owner”. This means you will need to look at their profile and see if they are an entrepreneur or not based on what they post.
Log into each of our social media accounts to send out new messages (and responding to old messages) using scripts that we provide for you and tracking the progress of these messages in our software.
Each social media platform has messaging limitations or else our accounts can be banned, so it is very important to be aware of these on a daily basis and stay below them.
Additionally, the messages are ideally sent spaced out during our working hours in our time zone (and not yours). For example, LinkedIn frowns upon messages sent during our non-business hours because it is an indicator of spamming.
Working hours – We are based in the Pacific time zone (UTC/GMT -8). Although it’s not mandatory you work 100% within our working hours of 9 AM – 6 PM, it’s helpful if there is some overlap for the above reason and so that we can communicate synchronously as well as with the people you message or else we will have slow and long conversations that takes days instead of hours.
Expected number of hours to work – You will be expected to work 3 hours a day Monday through Friday, which is about 65 hours a month.
You will need decent English comprehension. Although we have scripts for you to copy and paste, the better applicants for this job will understand English well so that if the conversation goes off the script, you can understand and learn what to do (we will coach you).
Based on the above, this job is a good fit for you if you are friendly and customer service oriented, enjoy reaching out and talking to people so that we can help them through our business, social media and tech-savvy, and not easily discouraged if you receive any negative responses from the outreach messages because you will.
What You Get
You will be paid $200-300 per month depending on your performance.
This is currently a part-time position, but we would love to find and work with someone who we can grow this into a full-time position where you can receive a consistent full-time salary for your family plus bonuses.
We love to work with wonderful people and want to have a long term relationship so that you have a reliable income every month and don’t need to constantly search for new jobs all the time.
As part of the application process, please take this quick and free personality test Click to view/disc-personality-test/ . This will give us (and you) good insight into your personality, style of work, etc. so that you/we can make sure we’re a good fit for each other. When completed, share your link to your test results.
This challenge takes about 5-10 minutes to complete. It’s not just to our benefit, but it’s to their benefit too because it gives them an interesting insight into their personality, so it’s not a complete waste of time for them to do it. But just this 5-minute hurdle alone, a good handful of people won’t do it because they’re lazy or don’t want the position bad enough. Do you want someone like that on your team? Of course not, so this is a great example of a challenge filter. Also note that the request is to share a link to the results. You’ll be surprised how many people can’t follow those directions and will send screenshots or a PDF. Another example of a challenge:
As part of the application process, please take this quick 1-minute typing test, Click to view/typing-test and include in your application a link to the results because being proficient behind the computer is important for this position.
