How to Hire a VA for Internet Marketing? – Practical Advice

Internet marketing is the process of promoting your business and your products or services online. It’s the most inexpensive way to reach your target market, no matter the size of your business.

Internet marketing is a business’s best friend! But let’s be honest—it can be a lot of work, and it requires real skills. Good thing you can find awesome Online Filipino Specialists who are experts in internet marketing.

Here’s everything you need to know about how to find your very own internet marketer from the Philippines:

1. Decide what you’re looking for.

The internet is a big, big place. Figure out exactly what you need. Do you need a Facebook marketer? Pinterest? YouTube? SEO? Be specific.

2. Browse resumes on OnlineJobs.ph

Look at resumes of people who have the skill set you’re looking for. Get a feel for the salary range and the types of skills people bring to the table.

3. Post your job on OnlineJobs.ph

Create a title, write a job description, offer a salary, and pick the skills you want. Since you’ve already browsed resumes, you’ll have a good idea of how much to pay for the skills you need.

4. Interview

My advice? Interview applicants through email. Ask a bunch of questions and send them to several applicants. This helps you see how quickly they respond, how well they pay attention to detail, how good their English is, and if there are any red flags. It’s a great way to filter applicants based on your preferences.

5. Give a test

When you’ve narrowed it down to a small list of people, give them a sample task to test their skills and abilities.

6. Negotiate your terms

Talk about salary, work hours, time off—anything related to the job.

7. Hire someone!

Full-time is the way to go.
