Diana Duarte Madaleno

Hi there! Portuguese bookworm here. I'm a multifaceted generalist (I tried specializing, but I get bored, what can I say??). I love to switch up my daily routines, so my days are spent either offering virtual assistance & social media management to startups & freelancers, writing SEO-optimized articles, creating custom marketing plans or custom illustrations for blogs and social media (you can check the PORTFOLIO tab to see some samples of my work).

As a Marketing Virtual Assistant I help my clients with setting up email newsletters, creating content for their blogs, social media, etc, creating graphics & custom illustrations, designing fillable workbooks, ebooks & powerpoint presentations, etc. I use tools such as Photoshop, Wordpress, Wix, Mailchimp, Krita, Gravit Designer, Canva, Hootsuite, Buffer, SmarterQueue, Asana, Trello, Slack, etc.

Regarding my writing chops, I consider myself a healthy mix between Tim Ferriss (endless curiosity), Ramit Sethi (straight-to-the-point writing), Charles Darwin (love of research) and Oprah (audience shaker)! My writing is clear, fluff-free, backed by research and filled with practical examples - because that's exactly the kind of writing that I enjoy reading. I write articles, blog posts & other types of content for clients around the World. I'm also knowledgeable about S.E.O., copywriting and content marketing strategies. Some of my articles have earned the nr. 1 spot on Google for related keywords, such as "How to Use Storytelling to Get Clients for Your Business" (currently on the nr.1 spot for the keyword "how to use storytelling to get clients") & "10 Storytelling Festivals You Need to Attend in 2016" (ranking nr. 1 for the keyword "best storytelling festivals", etc. This article has also earned a Wikipedia link).

An avid & relentless Googler, I currently hold the World record for the «Highest number of simultaneously opened browser tabs» (according to my husband): 53! My creativity sometimes gets the best of me: in a single year I can come up with 10 different online business ideas, and go through an intricate Shiny Object Syndrome cycle with each one (from excitement and obsession to crippling doubts and procrastination). My most recent project is a curated newsletter for moms - Mom's Weekly Finds!

I LOVE creating content regarding Digital Marketing, Business Development, Apps, Personal Development, Parenting & Education ... and always welcome a new challenge!

Let me know if you'd like to chat a bit more about us possibly working together!

Cheers from Portugal!
