I'm sure you've heard the term online educator. My loose definition of an online educator is "a person who educates via online material and helps individuals meet their personal and/or business goals. They inspire people to do the things they may feel are unattainable."
I personally had no idea what an online educator was until I started to learn about becoming a virtual assistant. I would have just said they were a teacher who teaches online. Though they can also be considered an online educator, in the VA industry I would refer to them as Coaches, YouTubers, Podcasters, and Bloggers.
Coaches help individuals in their personal lives as well as their professional lives. There are many different types of coaches, business coach, life coach, health & wellness coach, spiritual coach, accountability coach, etc.
YouTubers create videos to help others and upload them to YouTube. I have learned so much from YouTubers and I’m sure you’ve searched YouTube for something. I think it’s great to have a video to walk you through your problem.
Podcasters help us by being convenient. We can listen to a podcast while we’re in the car, taking a walk, and anything in between. This platform has been around for a long time but became even more popular during the pandemic.
Bloggers do a great job of educating people by writing helpful articles. When we Google a solution to a problem, we are usually directed to a blog. Bloggers create content on many different topics.
YouTubers, Podcasters, and Bloggers can also be referred to as Content Creators because they create all the fantastic content that we consume. The job of content creators is a busy one. It’s important for them to keep their content up to date for their subscribers and readers which means creating tons of content.
There are so many people out there that can help no matter what kind of help you need: Coaches, Podcasters, Bloggers, and YouTubers and I think it's amazing! We all need a go-to for questions in our personal or business lives. Content creators, keep the content coming. We’re here for it!
