A Day in the Life of a Virtual Assistant: What I Actually Do

When people hear I’m a Virtual Assistant, they often think I just “check emails” or “post on Instagram.”
But the truth? I help businesses run behind the scenes so they don’t burn out trying to do everything themselves.

If you’ve ever wondered what a virtual assistant really does—or what working with Goldie VA looks like—let me take you behind the scenes for a day in the life.

8:00 AM — Email Check-In & Calendar Cleanup

I start my day like many business owners—clearing out inbox clutter. But instead of 1 inbox, I manage 5+.

By 9 AM, here’s what’s done:

  • Spam filtered
  • Priority messages flagged
  • Calendar synced with updated meeting times
  • Reminders set for the day

For my clients, this means they walk into their day organized and stress-free.

10:00 AM — Social Media Scheduling & Engagement

Next, I open our clients’ content folders to:

  • Schedule posts across Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn
  • Respond to comments and DMs as the brand voice
  • Track which posts are getting the most engagement

 Out of sight” doesn’t mean “out of mind.”

While my clients focus on coaching, selling, or creating, I keep their audience warm and engaged.

📝 VA Quotes

12:00 PM — Client Admin & Backend Tasks

The middle of the day is all about tackling administrative tasks like:

  • Updating client onboarding documents
  • Uploading blogs or testimonials
  • Reviewing forms and automations
  • Researching CRM tools or integrations

These little tasks may not feel glamorous, but they’re critical to keeping a business running smoothly.

Client Highlight:

“Hiring a virtual assistant from Goldie VA was the best decision I made this year. I no longer drown in emails or miss deadlines. My VA handles everything smoothly, and I finally have time to focus on growing my business!”

2:00 PM — Client Support & Check-Ins

I check in with coaching clients to:

  • Respond to email or platform messages
  • Send weekly recap summaries
  • Schedule next sessions
  • Update CRMs with notes

 It’s not just about tasking—it’s about supporting.

4:00 PM — Wrap-Up and Reporting

Before the day ends, I review progress and log:

  • Completed tasks
  • Any pending items
  • Questions or follow-up notes for the client

This way, my client wakes up the next day with clarity, not chaos..
