What Is a Blogger Assistant and How to Become One

By ZipRecruiter Marketplace Research Team

As a blogger assistant, you work to assist a blogger in researching and creating blog posts. As part of your responsibilities, you write and edit posts, manage and review emails and social media content, assist the blogger with photograph and video content, and ensure proper search engine optimization for every post before publishing. Other duties may include those a general assistant may perform, such as scheduling meetings and booking travel plans, organizing the blogger’s calendar, responding to phone calls and emails, managing a contact list, creating assigned presentations to help the blogger to pitch ideas, keeping online records, and preparing spreadsheets.

There are no minimum qualifications to become a blogger assistant. Each blogger typically sets their own criteria regarding what they are looking for. However, you need to have writing and editing skills to help to ensure the blog posts are free of errors and misinformation. You also need excellent organization, research, and communication skills. Knowledge of search engine optimization is important and can help you to stand out above other applicants. If the blogger is in a specific niche, such as health or fashion, then having knowledge of the particular industry can be beneficial when you apply for jobs. Excellent computer skills are also essential.
