Hi, I’m Cornelia, and the skills I've gained in the corporate world (10 years) and self employment (since 2006) are a great resource you can draw on, with me as your virtual assistant (VA) or in-person assistant:

ADMIN
​Need documents? You've got it! I can type approx. 75 words a minute; proofread; create spreadsheets, charts, presentations, and attractive documents. As well as making website updates. I'm familiar with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Adobe InDesign, and Lightroom. I can work at either your premises (using your equipment or my laptop), or from my home office.

CREATIVE
Use my skills to communicate your story in a way that resonates with your customers. I'm highly experienced in creative work, which includes writing website content, newsletter creation and distribution, organic social media content, articles, case studies, and SEO copywriting. Plus photography (Air NZ, BBC etc. have used my images), and a background in strategic marketing consulting. I’ve project managed a lot of websites and can help with creating new content. Because creative work is my bread and butter, you'll find that I'm fast and efficient. So if you've been spending hours trying to do this yourself, and are getting nowhere fast - hire a pro!

PRACTICAL
​This chica doesn't mind getting her hands dirty! I have a part-time business in horticulture, selling my produce at the local markets, so I have customer service and retail skills. I love propagating and looking after plants, and can also work in warehouses and factories. Or use me to run those errands you're busy to do yourself!
If you are looking for an all-rounder with a great worth ethic, friendly smile, can-do attitude, who does a quality job – you’ve found her! Leaving you more time to focus on your own tasks.

Being self-employed means I’m used to working without supervision: just give me a good description of what you need, and I’ll get on with it. I’ll keep you updated and will ask for extra information when it’s needed.

Pricing

Admin and hands-on, practical help is priced the same.

Creative/marketing work is at a higher rate as it's more skilled, and requires me to provide expensive equipment.

ADMIN/HANDS-ON HELP

This includes a wide range of office tasks: typing, document creation/editing/proofreading using Word or other word processing software, Excel spreadsheets and charts, PowerPoint presentations, book layouts using InDesign software, data entry, and website management. I can do this work either at your premises (using your equipment or my laptop), or at my home office.

I’m also a useful extra pair of hands in your shop or warehouse. Anything from picking and packing orders, serving customers, merchandising, or helping out in your plant nursery. I can also run errands for you: send flowers, buy your lunch, or walk or feed your dog. Anything that you're too busy to do yourself.

Or save money by hiring me for a whole day (up to 8 continuous hours) for
NZ$229 + GST

Note: Hiring a temp at minimum wage of $18.90 costs a business owner around $30 an hour when you factor in agency fees, holiday pay, etc. And you don't know who you'll end up with! For just a little extra you get a dedicated professional with their own equipment and a proven track record. This is great value!

CREATIVE/MARKETING HELP

My core strength is working with words: creating blog or magazine articles, newsletters, and website content - including SEO copywriting. (In other words, writing website copy that has the potential to rank well on Google and other search engines.)

As they say, a picture paints a thousand words, and photography is another service I offer (generally photos of ‘things’). Need social media help? I can help create your profiles; train you on how to use them; and create organic content for you. Likewise, I can help with email newsletter setup, content development, and distribution.
I can also create simple, effective websites – or project manage a fancier website (I have a great designer I work with). Need graphic design? Again, I can help with simple layouts, or refer more sophisticated projects to a skilled colleague. Already got a website and not sure if it's worthwhile upgrading or better starting afresh? I can do an impartial audit to tell you what's working, and what isn't.

With marketing, it’s important to have an end goal in mind, so you focus your efforts and resources in the right direction. I can guide you with that, and you can also bounce ideas off me. Need some analytics and reporting? I can help with that too.

I've been in the marketing/copywriting industry since 1997, and have continually upskilled, so I bring a lot of experience and know-how to your business. You can bounce ideas off me, or get me to put a straightforward marketing plan together for you. There's also a special marketing consultation package.

Note: this is a significant discount from my usual rate of NZ$155 + GST per hour, which is the advertised price on my dedicated copywriting website.

WANT A MIX OF CREATIVE/ADMIN/PRACTICAL HELP?

Please get in touch: we can discuss what you need, and I’ll suggest a customised package for you.
