Ten hours per week doubles the 5-hour scope and adds the most visually impactful task for mobility coaches: consistent social media. Flexibility and mobility content performs exceptionally well on Instagram and TikTok - movement demonstrations, before-and-after range of motion clips, and educational posts about joint health attract engaged audiences without requiring paid advertising. At 10 hours, your VA maintains this presence while also keeping your inbox and calendar organized.
This tier is designed for coaches who are growing their online presence, generating regular inquiries, and want to build their brand without personally managing the administrative and social media work that consumes time between client sessions.

What Gets Done in 10 Hours
Here is the weekly breakdown:
- Email inbox management (2 hrs) - Responding to standard inquiries with prepared templates, flagging complex questions for the coach, and maintaining organized inbox categories.
- Scheduling and calendar management (1.5 hrs) - Booking new sessions and consultations, handling rescheduling, and sending confirmation and reminder messages.
- Social media management (3.5 hrs) - Creating and scheduling 4-5 posts per week on Instagram, with cross-posting to Facebook or TikTok. Content uses videos, demonstrations, and mobility tips the coach provides. Includes writing captions, applying hashtags, and managing comment and DM responses.
- Client follow-up and re-engagement (1.5 hrs) - Following up with prospects who inquired but did not book, sending check-in messages to clients who have not booked in 4 or more weeks, and sending post-session satisfaction check-ins.
- Admin and basic CRM (1.5 hrs) - Updating client records, tracking inquiry pipeline, filing intake and assessment forms, and monitoring basic metrics like inquiry volume and booking rate.
Ten hours with a clear emphasis: social media gets the largest block because it drives the most long-term growth for mobility coaches building an online audience.

What Gets Cut
At 10 hours, these tasks fall outside scope:
- Written content - Blog posts, newsletters, and long-form educational content require dedicated blocks that do not exist at this tier.
- Email list management - Growing and managing an email newsletter is not covered. Social media is the primary outreach channel at this tier.
- Video editing - Editing mobility tutorial videos or producing polished reels from raw footage takes more time than the social media block allows.
- Program or course platform management - If you sell an online flexibility program, managing the platform and student questions is not included.
- Paid advertising - No capacity for managing Meta or Google ad campaigns.
- Community management - Moderating an active online community requires daily attention this tier cannot provide.
When to Upgrade
Move to the 15-hour scope when:
- You want blog or email newsletter content alongside social media.
- Your inquiry volume has grown beyond what 2 hours of inbox management handles.
- You are launching an online mobility program and need promotional support.
- Video content is becoming central to your brand and needs more production time.
- Social media alone is not generating enough new inquiries to meet growth targets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of social media content does a 10-hour mobility coach VA post?
The VA works with content you provide - mobility demonstration videos, range of motion clips, and short educational notes. They write captions, add hashtags, schedule posts, and manage engagement. They are not filming content. The most effective setup is a shared folder where the coach drops phone clips throughout the week, and the VA selects, captions, and schedules them.
How important is video content for mobility coaches at this tier?
Very important. Mobility and flexibility content is inherently visual - audiences respond to movement demonstrations in ways they do not respond to static images or text-only posts. Coaches who give their VA even 3-5 short phone clips per week see significantly better engagement than those relying on graphics or stock images. The VA formats and captions whatever raw material you provide.
Can a 10-hour mobility coach VA handle a growing YouTube channel?
Not at this tier. YouTube requires video optimization, description writing, thumbnail coordination, and community post management - tasks that compete directly with social media management for the same time block. If YouTube is a priority, move to a 15-hour or higher tier where video coordination gets its own dedicated time.
What is the most common mistake coaches make when starting with a 10-hour VA?
Trying to add tasks that are not in the scope. A coach with 10 hours of VA support who also wants blog posts, email sequences, and community management ends up with all tasks done poorly rather than core tasks done well. Be disciplined about scope. The value of 10 hours is excellent execution of a small number of tasks, not marginal coverage of everything.
