A common misconception about virtual assistants is that they only do low value tasks such as web research, email management, and other tasks that would typically be done by an office assistant. And while virtual assistants can certainly do that, I'm here to tell you that they can also do much much more.
You can hire expert virtual assistants to do your marketing, web design, software/app development, e-commerce research & setup, bookkeeping, graphic design, video creation, podcast management, writing, customer service, and more.
In fact, I've put together a list of 97 different tasks that you can (and probably should) outsource to a virtual assistant.
And when I say "virtual assistant", I'm not talking about your average, run-of-the-mill assistant with limited skills or experience. I'm talking about college educated, English-speaking, experts at their given fields.
If you're not really sure what to outsource first, I'd recommend that you print my list of outsourceable tasks and circle everything that you're not good at, you hate doing, or you shouldn't be doing.
Group together similar tasks that would be done by a single person, then outsource the group of tasks that are the most time-consuming, low value tasks on the list.
When I first got serious about outsourcing, I outsourced all of my web design company's client work because that was my biggest bottleneck. By doing this I was able to free up 40+ hours of work per week and as it turned out, the person I hired was faster and better at designing websites than I ever could be... plus she only cost me $350/month (full-time).
You can do the same thing. Figure out what you want to outsource, then go to OnlineJobs.ph ( www.bootstrapbizgrowth.com/onlinejobs.ph
) and search for people with the skills that your job requires... then take the leap and hire them!
