How do Virtual Assistants work?

Most businesses have some sort of online presence, and this is only increasing. From social media pages to email to websites – businesses are constantly migrating into the online space. With more happening online, there is an increased need for digital help! 

​

A client may be great with email marketing but not so great with social media – that is an excellent opportunity for a VA. A Virtual Assistant can make your life easier by providing services in fields that you don’t have a lot of knowledge or don’t have time for. This helps the client balance their workload – making their life easier. 

Business owners get to focus on essential parts of their business while a Virtual Assistant takes care of other tasks. For example, if a client has a huge project coming up for a potential business opportunity, the client is not going to be focusing on managing their Facebook group or updating their blog because of the opportunity at stake. This is an excellent example of how a VA can help!

The Virtual Assistant can take over your daily tasks or smaller projects, saving you time and allowing you to focus on what’s important.

​

Since a VA is self-employed, they cover all of their own costs. All of the expenses you would pay for a full-time employee, such as health care, office space, laptops, vacation days, etc. – you don’t have to worry about!

​

Furthermore, you are only paying for the work a VA does. In a traditional office space, with a 9-5 job, employees will naturally take breaks, check their phones, get lunch, etc. A Virtual Assistant will, of course, do all of these things (we are only human after all), but you are only paying them for the work they do.

While a Virtual Assistant saves you time with tasks in your business, they also free up time in your personal life. If you’ve started your own business, you know how much you care for it. It’s like your child – you put a lot of time, effort, and money into building it, so of course, you’re going to dedicate a lot of time to it.

​

Once you find that VA that you can trust with your business, it will allow you to enjoy more time with your family, friends, or that much needed you time. When is the last time you took a vacation? Or even a day off? 

Most Virtual Assistants will offer a few services they excel in, so you know you’re getting someone with expert knowledge in the field. We can’t be good at everything, so there might be a part of your business you are struggling with or trying to perfect. This is where you can hire a VA who is excellent in that field and let them do the work!

​

Once you find that VA that connects well with your business, it will give you confidence when handing off tasks that you have an expert handling the work. 

If you are looking to hire a Virtual Assistant to help with customer support or troubleshooting, you can hire a VA from another timezone, so you cover all bases. Having someone available around the clock to support your customers is a great selling point for a business.
