Entrusting your virtual assistant (VA) with the task of creating a landing page can be a daunting challenge, especially when conveying your design preferences and ensuring the backend setup aligns with your vision. Miscommunication in this task can lead to wasted time and a diminished passion for your project.
Imagine a scenario where unclear instructions result in a landing page that doesn't capture your brand essence or lacks the necessary backend functionalities. This misalignment can lead to missed opportunities and a loss of enthusiasm for your marketing efforts.
In this blog article, we'll guide you through the process of effectively assigning the task of creating a landing page to your VA, ensuring your vision is accurately realized.
What You Need to Prepare:
Before delegating the task, gather the following data, information, and files to empower your VA in creating an impactful landing page:
References for Landing Page Design (color schemes, branding elements, etc.)
Content for the Landing Page (text, images, videos, etc.)
Backend Settings (form integrations, analytics, etc.)
Call-to-Action (CTA) and Conversion Goals
Any Specific Instructions for Design and Functionality
*If you will be providing references or attachments with a heavy file size, please try to reduce/compress the file size first before sending it to your VA.
