As a small business owner or entrepreneur, there are times when it is critical to have some extra help.  But hiring a full time or in-house assistant can present a financial challenge.  Not only do you fork out money for salary expenses, but you need to consider the administrative and regulatory costs, such as payroll tax and social security benefits, plus benefits such as health insurance.  There may be other headaches, such as human resources types of laws about paid time off, lunch breaks, drug testing and so on.  Because of the huge amount of costs and regulatory burdens, many of us entrepreneurs decide that it’s cheaper to do the work ourselves, even though we’re exhausted and don’t really have the time.

There’s a solution that won’t cost an arm and a leg and that will allow you to have some modicum of a life outside the office:  Hiring a virtual assistant.

What is a Virtual Assistant?

A “virtual assistant” is a temporary worker who works for your business over the Internet.  Since you may be miles — if not continents — away from the virtual assistant, it is likely that you will never meet your assistant.

Quality Control Issues

Virtual assistants are somewhat anonymous and common wisdom dictates that you have no idea upfront whether or not you will be getting a qualified assistant.  Because of the anonymous nature of the Internet, hiring a virtual assistant is akin to online dating.

For example, if you are trying to meet someone in an online dating environment, you might think you’re communicating with a stud, based on the photo.  In reality, he might be slovenly, smelly and missing his front teeth.  You really don’t know what you’re getting into until you personally meet the online date.  Hiring a virtual assistant is similar — The applicant might tell you all kinds of great stuff but unbeknown to you, the “virtual assistant” might be a felon sitting in jail or a 12 year old playing a prank.

That’s why, when it comes to hiring a qualified virtual assistant, if you cannot meet contractor in person, you need an intermediary who will screen the assistants and match your business with the most cost effective, quality service providers.

moving ahead communications logoStart and grow our business with help in these 3 areas:

Research

Research is a vital aspect of marketing and valuable time can be wasted within a company by employees who do not have the training and skills to conduct efficient research or who are tasked with multiple duties where research is a fraction of their responsibilities. By outsourcing a Virtual Assistant to utilize research tools such as those offered by eBay, and Best Sellers at Amazon.com, and do nothing but research, a company can maximize its efficiency and stay ahead of the game.

Product Creation

While research tells a company how to fulfill the 4 P’s of marketing, Product, Price, Place (distribution) and Promotion, the product is what generates the profit. Many products can be constructed by Virtual Assistants. Videos and EBooks are two prime examples of products that a business can outsource the majority of the creation process. Virtual assistants can even offer a service or a product on demand where specs are provided. For instance, an eBook company can take requests from clients. The company can then turn around and contract the Virtual Assistant to write the eBook to spec.

Sales & Marketing

A product can be top of the line, something that everyone needs or wants, but it does no good if no one ever sees it - if there is no promotion. A Virtual Assistant can be outsourced to conduct various aspects of the marketing process such as design and create websites, set up and manage affiliate programs, conduct the company’s online campaign and do various other sales and marketing tasks. Article marketing and blogging are both very popular and very effective methods of marketing. The Virtual Assistant can focus all energies on the marketing process, attending to details that may normally be ignored or missed by employees who are tasked with a variety of responsibilities.
