Remote work has opened countless doors for Filipinos, especially in the tech and creative industries. Among these emerging roles, the WordPress Virtual Assistant (VA) stands out — combining technical skills, design sense, and digital communication to help businesses grow online.
But what does a typical day look like for a WordPress VA in the Philippines? Let’s take a closer look.
Morning: Planning, Coffee, and Client Check-ins
Like most remote professionals, the day starts with checking messages and emails from clients in different time zones. Many Filipino VAs work with U.S., Australian, or U.K. clients — so time management is key.
Tasks in the morning often include:
- Reviewing WordPress dashboard notifications
- Checking website uptime and security alerts
- Updating plugins and themes
- Responding to client messages or Slack updates
☕ Coffee in hand, the VA begins organizing tasks using project management tools like Asana, Trello, or ClickUp.
Midday: Design, Content, and Development Work
By late morning or early afternoon, the VA dives into creative and technical tasks. This is when focus peaks, and productivity thrives.
Typical Tasks Include:
- Creating landing pages using Elementor or Divi
- Uploading and formatting blog posts
- Optimizing website speed or images
- Troubleshooting small errors
- Adding new content or products in WooCommerce
Some VAs even handle SEO, writing meta descriptions, and setting up Google Analytics reports.
Afternoon: Communication and Problem Solving
By the afternoon, many clients are online — it’s time for meetings, feedback rounds, or collaboration sessions.
A WordPress VA may:
- Present design drafts or updates
- Adjust layouts based on client feedback
- Discuss website improvements
- Plan new features or content updates
📞 Strong communication skills are essential here. Filipino VAs often stand out because of their professionalism, friendliness, and ability to adapt to a client’s workflow.
Evening: Reports, Wrap-ups, and Learning
After finishing daily tasks, the VA usually compiles updates and sends a summary report. This might include:
- Completed tasks
- Pending issues
- Recommendations for the next phase
Then comes personal growth time — watching a WordPress tutorial, joining online communities, or experimenting with plugins on a test site. Many Filipino VAs continuously upgrade their skills to stay competitive in the fast-paced digital world.
