Social media is the task founders most want to delegate and most consistently delegate wrong. The reason: it needs your brand voice, your taste, your judgement on what’s on-message. The right time to delegate is when you have 10+ pieces of content that exemplify your voice and 30 minutes a week to give feedback.
What this placement covers
Every DotVA placement is dedicated — one VA, one client. The tasks above are the core scope, calibrated against 48+ DotVA placements. Add or remove items via the SOP in week 1.
Pricing + placement
This role sits in our specialist tier: AUD $18-$25/hr (excl GST). At a typical 15-30 hours/week placement, that’s approximately AUD $2,095/month all-in. A $500 refundable deposit covers our recruiting + placement work.
Placement time is 7-10 days from discovery call to your VA starting. We replace at no extra cost inside the 30-day satisfaction window.
What you bring
Two things: a 30-minute weekly check-in in week 1-2 (dropping to 20 minutes by week 4), and a willingness to write things down. SOPs, preferences, recurring decisions. Your VA reads them. Everything else — recruiting, vetting, onboarding, performance management, replacement coverage — sits with us.
Book a discovery call and we’ll confirm whether this is the right tier for your situation.

Common questions about hiring a specialist va
Can the VA write in our brand voice?
Yes, with calibration. Week 1 is tone training: share 10 examples of on-brand content, 5 examples of off-brand. By week 3, most VAs are producing publishable drafts on the first pass.
Does the VA create videos / Reels?
Editing + captioning of existing footage yes. Filming + appearing in content no. For original video production, layer in a videographer or our AI content engine service.
Can the VA run paid ads too?
No — paid Meta/Google/LinkedIn ads need a specialist. We don't pretend a generalist VA can do them well.
