WHAT IS A VIRTUAL ASSISTANT, AND WHY DO I NEED ONE?

NEW TO THE CONCEPT OF VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS?




When running your business becomes overwhelming, and the workload is on you entirely… your first and the most natural thought is “I need to hire help for the daily duties that it takes to run the business” so you can focus on the real reason you went into business. This can be a extremely stressful decision when you are a first time business owner, about to hire your first employee. There are always constant fears that run through your mind when someone else's livelihood sits in your hands.


But many people don’t know that there are options other than hiring in person staff... one of the most popular options include outsourcing to a Virtual Assistant.


But what is a Virtual Assistant and how can they help?



Virtual Assistants are business owners themselves who provide services to other businesses. They are hired to perform an individual project or on a consistent basis, which means that you can have flexibility within your business as opposed to having a staff member having a steady number of hours that you need to fill.


Hiring a virtual assistant also means that you are saving time training new staff members and paying for additional things when it comes to hiring a new employee. Since a Virtual Assistant is self employed and is only hired to perform the task at hand, you are not responsible for paying for insurance, PTO, breaks, paid lunches, sick time etc.. You are only paying for the task/s to be completed.


An additional bonus to consider when hiring a Virtual Assistant, is that they are equipped in more than one subject! We can handle your tasks from email management to social media presence! The workload that would conume your day can easily be handed over to a VA to help streamline your business while keeping costs low.
