4 Freelance Jobs For Beginners

1. Email inbox management

No matter the niche this is a service that any business owner wants and needs help with!

Businesses can get hundreds of emails per day, and it can be impossible for a business owner juggling other aspects of their business to keep up with. But they want to keep the emails organized so they can make sure each one is answered quickly.

To provide this service, you could be answering emails, organizing them, and tracking metrics like response time and the number of emails answered a day.

2. Creating graphics

Creating graphics is a huge help to business owners because creating graphics can take a lot of time to do beautifully.

If you have an eye for design, you can help a business owner design graphics for any social media app like Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram. You can even help with creating or finding images for a blog or for a video on YouTube from a stock image site. Or creating Pins for Pinterest.

Apps like Canva let you save brand colors and offer templates you can use for easy designing!

3. Writing

Writing takes a lot of time. I mean a lot. Most business owners do not have the time to write all the content that is needed for a business. Think about all the touchpoints in a sales funnel that needs writing.

From initial touchpoints like social media posts to website content, blog content, and newsletters to product descriptions. Copy usually needs to be in the voice of the brand, should feature the benefits of the product or service, and keep the focus on the customer.

That can be a lot to remember while writing a social media post, but if you have an act for writing this is a great option for a freelance job for a beginner.

4. Scheduling social media posts

You don’t have to be a social media expert to help businesses with their social media accounts.

There are simple things like scheduling posts you can do simply without a background in social media. Other services that you can help with that do not require a ton of training are setting up a business page, optimizing a profile, brainstorming content, and community management.

 

FAQ

What does a virtual assistant do?

A virtual assistant does recurring tasks for a business that needs execution daily, weekly, or monthly.

Often, they are a “jill of all trades” and do many different tasks for a business owner.

The role of a virtual assistant usually looks different for each client. As a beginner freelancer (with no experience) you could help with some of the tasks we discussed above.

  • email inbox management
  • creating graphics
  • writing
  • social media scheduling

In this role, you are mostly assisting in executing tasks. There is little to no strategy involved. At least in the beginning, so don’t let that scare you away! You can, however, evolve to provide those services down the road if you want. For now, it’s the client’s job to tell you what they need to be done and your job to get it done.
