Kickstarter Virtual Assistant Services
So the main concern of hiring an assistant to help you with these tasks is that it’s time-consuming. You need to spare your precious time and patience so you can train them and get them to work the way you want to. Because not every personal assistant knows how a Kickstarter campaign works, don’t you think?
Virtual assistants specifically trained in crowdfunding campaigns usually have had a wealth of experience under their belt. You can trust them with social media management, copywriting, and customer support so you can have some time to accomplish bigger things in your journey.
We understand that for creators, it can be difficult to be both the “inventors” and “marketers” for your product. Therefore, we Kickstarter Virtual Assistants are here to help.
Research
You want to keep in mind that you’ll most likely need the below lists pre-launch:
- Media list
- Fellow Kickstarter creators
- Manufacturers
- Logistics
We imagine you’ll be so busy before launching your campaign that you forget you need to compile your own lists above. Oh, do you even have your list of logistic companies for shipment purposes? How much does it cost to ship from city A to Z? And what about the list of fellow Kickstarter creators you can do cross-promotion with?
No need to panic. Make sure you still have time one to two weeks before launch so the virtual assistants can help you research and compile the potential partners you want to target into a list.
Press Releases and Promotion
Okay, so you’ve secured the media list, now what?
Creators, we would like to remind you that you need to draft press releases to submit to every media on your list. You’d want to gain all the buzz and exposure for the success of your campaign. By hiring a Kickstarter Virtual Assistant, you can delegate this task without having to worry about doing everything on your own. Armed with writing and marketing skills, they can help you write press releases and draft pitch templates, and you only need to proofread their writings to make sure they align with your vision. Furthermore, they can establish and monitor communications with the media as your representative.
Not only that, but you can also benefit from their help to pitch other Kickstarter creators for cross-promotion. They’ll know who to look for or what creators you can partner with, so let them take care of it. More backers mean one step closer to a successful campaign.
Admin and Customer Support
You can’t let your backers stay in the dark while you’re busy perfecting your product, can you? As your “investors”, you’d want to keep them informed about what’s going on. A Kickstarter Virtual Assistant can be your great sidekick so you won’t miss anyone behind. They’ll help you by consistently posting updates and replying to any questions your backers may have.
Furthermore, you’ll still need customer support even after the campaign has been fully funded. Say, your backers have questions, complain about shipments, or have issues with the products themselves, you’ll have someone ready for the work and to ensure smooth processes and operations. This could be the hardest part for any Kickstarter creators to handle but worry not, an experienced virtual assistant will know how to take care of these issues.
Social Media Management
Build more exposure by having your Kickstarter Virtual Assistant manage your social media channels for you. What about the content? An experienced virtual assistant is most likely very familiar with how social media marketing works, so put your worries aside. They can create content, schedule posts, and interact with followers to save you more time.
You may also want them to set up a social media management tool for you, which of course, they can. Ask them to search one or two that fit your budget and you can even ask their recommendations based on the tools they have had experience with.
