What Successful Entrepreneurs Outsource To Virtual Assistants

Eric Evenstad • June 28, 2018

Do you struggle to keep up with the day-to-day tasks in your business? Are you spending too much time working on low value, repetitive tasks? Could your business benefit from you being able to focus more time and energy on revenue generating activities?


If you answered YES to any of those questions, it may be time to do what thousands of other successful entrepreneurs have already done… and that is… start outsourcing to a virtual assistant!


The one thing I’ve noticed about all successful entrepreneurs is that they’re excellent delegators. They know that their success depends on them handing off those low value, repetitive, and laborious tasks so that they can focus solely on the most important activities that actually grow their business.


To do this, they hire virtual assistants!


Why?


Well, it’s because virtual assistants are great first hires! They’re able to tackle all of those low value, repetitive tasks for as little as $2-3 per hour - which frees up their time to build their business and enjoy a better work/life balance.

Plus, working with a virtual assistant is a great way to learn how to delegate effectively and communicate with employees - which are crucial skills that all entrepreneurs must possess.


Great... so now you probably want to know what types of tasks successful entrepreneurs actually outsource to their virtual assistants?


Well, after talking with hundreds of entrepreneurs over the years, I’ve found that almost all of them outsource admin tasks and general marketing tasks.

The Admin Tasks Include:


  • Email & Calendar Management
  • Customer Service
  • Client Invoicing
  • Audio & Video Transcription
  • Online Research
  • Website Management & Updates
  • Blog & Podcast Posting
  • Any other repeatable task that they find themselves doing over and over again.

The Marketing Tasks Include:

  • SEO (search engine optimization)
  • Social Media Management (posting to social media pages and also responding to comments & messages)
  • Creating social media images
  • Sharing blog posts
  • Setting up and managing pay per click advertising campaigns with Google Ad Words & Facebook Ads
  • Generating analytic reports to track marketing efforts


And then, there’s still other entrepreneurs that actually outsource the bulk of their business’ operations. I’m a perfect example of this. I built a web design company a few years back, where I actually outsourced all of the web design work to a virtual assistant that specialized in website and graphic design.

Really, you can find a virtual assistant that is an expert at just about anything.

So what do you think? Do you want to see how I find and hire the absolute best virtual assistants? The type of virtual assistants with the skills and experience needed to perform the tasks that you want to outsource at an extremely high level?

If so, I have good news!
