#38 Video, SEO, and outsourcing marketing like a PRO with Kirsten Graham

What if the secret to scaling your interior design business is not just creating video content but outsourcing the work? And not just outsourcing to anyone but to a virtual assistant that specializes in marketing? I didn’t even realize there was such a thing as a Marketing Virtual Assistant (VA) until I chatted with today’s guest.  Today’s episode is a masterclass in getting the help you need without sacrificing quality.  Kirsten Graham, co-owner of Six-Figure Business Coaching, shares her process for training marketing virtual assistants and creating compelling, SEO-friendly video content that attracts ideal clients. What you’ll learn in this episode: How to create compelling video content specifically for interior design clients Key elements to consider when hiring a marketing virtual assistant for video, social media, and other marketing tasks The importance of documented SOPs (standard operating procedures) for a smoother outsourcing experience Tips on building a content strategy that resonates with clients and repels those who aren't a good fit Why it’s okay to delegate tasks without knowing every technical detail yourself Memorable quotes from Kirsten: "Let your desire to serve others and help clients overcome your fear and judgment of yourself—just show up." "If you do something more than three times and it has more than three steps, document it." "Your marketing should attract the ideal client and almost repel the rest." Key highlights: Video as an SEO tool: Kirsten explains how video content, especially on platforms like YouTube, can boost local SEO for interior designers, helping them reach clients in their area. Breaking down tasks for VAs: When hiring a virtual assistant, look for skills that match the specific job—don’t expect them to do everything from bookkeeping to video editing. SOPs streamline outsourcing: Documenting workflows through SOPs can help onboard new team members more efficiently, allowing interior designers to focus on client-facing work. Client-specific content strategies: Kirsten shares the importance of targeting content toward your ideal client, so they connect with your messaging and style, avoiding mismatches.
