Jana Schmidt Virtual Assistant Webdesign and Podcastservices

Hello, I’m Jana – your virtual assistant with an eye for detail

As a virtual assistant for podcast management and web design, I primarily support solo entrepreneurs, coaches, trainers, podcasters, and small businesses who want to publish their content professionally – without having to struggle with technology, website maintenance, or episode uploads in the evenings or on weekends.

What sets me apart: I don’t work by the book. Thanks to my many years of experience across different fields and close collaboration with external service providers, I know how frustrating it is when no one thinks ahead or considers the impact of small changes on the overall project. I bring this perspective to every podcast project and every web design implementation I work on.

My path to virtual assistance

My professional journey started in 2006 as a foreign language assistant at Hengeler Mueller, an international law firm in Düsseldorf, Germany. A year later, I moved to the Australian outback and worked in the office of a DIY and irrigation business in Alice Springs, where I learned how to plan effective marketing campaigns together with local designers – always with a focus on what is realistic and practical.

Back in Germany, I spent more than ten years in purchasing and sales, managing international projects for TV shopping clients such as QVC UK, QVC France, and TVSN Australia. Regular coordination with partners in London, Paris, Milan, and Sydney was part of my daily work – including project coordination, product development, and professional English communication across different time zones.

My step into self-employment grew out of my personal podcast project Fielou and a deep interest in audio storytelling. Today, as a Germany-based virtual assistant for web design and podcast management, I combine podcast experience, technical know-how, and structured organisation. In February 2026 I completed advanced training in web development, online marketing, and multimedia creation with AI to connect podcasts, websites, and content creation even better – and to continuously expand my services for English-speaking clients worldwide.

Fun Facts - short and personal

  • Relaxation with side effects: Building Lego sets and solving puzzles is my evening unwind – much to my daughter's dismay when I "borrow" a piece she needs.
  • Fridge gourmet: Pasta always boils over and eggs are either too soft or too hard at my place. But I create surprisingly good dishes from whatever's left in the fridge.
  • Sport, differently: Workouts sometimes happen between the dishwasher and the clothesline.
  • Nickname "Eagle Eye": Spelling mistakes, layout issues, broken links – I spot them all. Perfect for clean websites and podcast show notes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did I specialize in podcast management and web design?

Through my passion project Fielou, I dove into the world of audio and have been enthusiastic about audio editing and creative audio projects ever since. I quickly realized that a professional podcast involves much more than just a finished audio file. That’s why I expanded my skills through training in web design and video editing, allowing me not only to edit episodes but also to create dedicated podcast landing pages or short social media videos if desired. This combination of audio, video, and web makes podcast projects complete and highly visible – from concept to publication.

How do I work with my clients?

I rely on transparent communication, clear workflows, and short decision-making paths. Whether long-term support or project-based assistance – each client receives individually tailored services. Learn more on my services page.

Why do I work differently from many other service providers?

From years of experience as an employee, I know the frustration when projects with service providers start and then additional costs appear bit by bit. I avoid this by clearly communicating from the beginning which services are included in the price – no hidden fees, no surprises. This ensures transparent processes and real planning security.
