I received a dm today from one of my Twitter pals, wanting to know if a VA could help her. She had realized that it would save her time and money to outsource some of her marketing tasks, but she wasn't sure how a VA could help - or how to go about finding the right VA for her business.
If you've been thinking about working with a VA, but haven't been sure where to start, you might find my response helpful as well:
Hello,
I know what you mean… I outsource some of my own business tasks to other VAs and it’s frustrating when I have to track down my projects, or get them back only to find out they were done incorrectly.
From what you described, a virtual assistant could definitely be a good choice for you. I’m a member of VAnetworking.com and they offer a free resource that might help you. It’s called Finding the Ultimate Virtual Assistant for Your Business and you can download it on their blog.
It’s also a very good idea to ask for references, and I would be very reluctant to work with any VA who isn’t prepared to provide them.
In my own virtual assistant business, I specialize in article and press release marketing. So, I help my clients get targeting web traffic for their businesses by writing and submitting articles and press releases for them. That’s one type of online marketing that’s very effective and can get good results quickly.
I hope this helps you begin thinking about the possibilities!
