YouTube Content Creation Virtual Assistant

A YouTube assistant can cover the full publishing workflow: video editing and post-production, creating Shorts and clips from long-form content, designing thumbnails, researching keywords and writing titles, descriptions and tags, managing uploads and scheduling in YouTube Studio, moderating and replying to comments, and producing regular analytics reports. The exact scope is agreed during onboarding.

Yes. Assistants cover cuts, captions, basic motion graphics, audio clean-up and repurposing long videos into short-form clips. The realistic expectation is competent editing worked to a documented style, not the output of a specialist post-production house. For advanced motion design we will tell you honestly if it is outside scope.

Common tools include Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, Photoshop and Canva for production, TubeBuddy or vidIQ for keyword research, and YouTube Studio for publishing. Assistants work in whichever tools your channel already uses — tell us your setup during onboarding.

Always. Channel access is granted through YouTube's own permissions system rather than by sharing your password, so you can see exactly what access has been given and remove it at any time. Everything produced for you belongs to you.

It depends on how much you publish and how much of the workflow you delegate. A channel posting weekly with editing, thumbnails, optimisation and community management included typically fills a substantial part of a week. Channel work is often combined with other tasks — inbox, scheduling, admin — to make up a full-time role.

Our rate is £3 per hour for full-time support of 40 or more hours per week. For fewer hours we provide a custom quote and do our best to get as close to £3 per hour as possible. For comparison, UK freelance video editors commonly charge in the region of £20 to £40 per hour, though this varies considerably by experience and specialism.

Whatever suits you — email, WhatsApp, Slack, Trello or a shared drive. Most clients settle on a simple rhythm: a weekly planning message, a shared folder for footage and drafts, and a quick daily check for anything urgent. Assistants work UK business hours, 9am to 5pm GMT or BST.

Two ways. First, the analytics reports your assistant produces — views, watch time and subscriber growth over time. Second, and more practically, the hours you get back and whether your upload schedule actually holds. Consistency is usually the clearest early signal.

Onboarding can normally be completed within 48 hours. Founder Daniel Pozzebon personally handles onboarding, covering your channel, style, tools, approval process and access before any work begins.
