We've put together some frequently asked questions to give you more information about VPS Social as well as the content marketing and social media services we offer.
What is the difference beween a Virtual Expert® and a Virtual Assistant?

Communicating is quick and simple. The form of communication that works best for you, works best for us. You may use email, text, Messenger, Facetime or good old fashion phone calls. Just let us know what works best for you. We’re here to help.
What digital and social media marketing services do you offer?
We specialize in content marketing strategy for small businesses and solopreneurs including organic social media marketing, management, and engagement. See a full list of Services.
What is organic social media marketing?
Organic social media marketing is simply the act of marketing your business organically vs through paid advertising. Organic social media growth is a way of expanding your online presence for free. Although it may take longer to build your ideal audience base, organic social media allows you to build engagement and develop a community with your customers and followers. Any post you make that hasn’t been paid for is considered to be organic. This could even be a blog post, article, or industry news.
Do you manage comments and inquiries on the platforms you manage?
Yes, if it is included in your social media marketing package. This is considered reactive engagement. We also implement proactive engagement which entails reaching outside of your existing following to engage with other businesses that fall within your target audience. This works to grow your ideal audience base.
Do you have a team?
Yes. We are a boutique agency of independent contractors including content creators, social media managers, copywriters, video editors, and administrative assistants. See our team members on our About page.
What is your payment process?
You will be invoiced during the first week of the month for the previous month’s work. A QuickBooks invoice system is used. You’ll have a choice of using any major credit card, PayPal or ACH.
What if I no longer need your services?
No problem. We only ask for a 30-day notice and you will be billed for work that has already been completed.
How do you handle confidential information?
There is a confidentiality promise in our agreement. None of your personal or business information will be disclosed to third parties without your written consent unless required to testify in a court of law. We will be happy to sign a confidentiality agreement if desired.
How long does it take to get started?
Once you have completed an initial discovery call (free 20-minute consultation offered), I will provide an agreement based on the package or project(s) you would like to begin with. Once the agreement has been signed (after any necessary revisions), we will get to work on making your life easier immediately, beginning with a comprehensive strategy session.
Please contact us for any additional questions we haven’t covered here.
