What to Outsource to a Virtual Assistant

One very important question you should be asking yourself as an aspiring or fully-fledged entrepreneur, is, how do I free up more time in my day?

By now you should be outsourcing all the little tasks that take up too much of your time and don’t have a direct impact on your bottom line. These menial tasks needs to happen, we know this. However, isn’t your energy and time as a busy entrepreneur better focused on developing marketing & sales strategies, on scaling your business and developing different verticals?

I want to highlight some essential tasks in this post that you can confidently hand over to your Virtual Assistant right now:

Task 1 : Data Sorting

This could be something as basic as capturing business cards onto a spreadsheet or a bit more involved like collating your emailing list with different categories.

Task 2 : Online Research

Perhaps you want a list of the best and most influential business books of all time. Or, you want to purchase an existing business and would like your Virtual Assistant to do market research on the feasibility of this business before you make an offer to purchase.

Task 3 : Proofreading

You could be churning out ebooks that it’s coming out of your ears as part of your marketing strategy. Get your VA to proofread these ebooks, looking for spelling and grammatical errors, checking that the document is formatted. She can even add your branding to the ebook.

Task 4 : Online Community Manager

You can hand over this task seamlessly to your VA. She will be responsible for updating your website content, managing all your social media accounts, writing content and giving you feedback in weekly reports.

Task 5 : Admin Support

This covers a broad spectrum from managing your diary to typing up voice notes, writing reports and presentations, and everything in between.

Remember, at the end of the day, you want your right hand person to make your life easier, create more freedom in your working schedule and a Virtual Assistant is the perfect person for this!
