Why a Virtual Assistant

Why would I want to be a virtual assistant one may ask. Several years ago I had a blog of my own. A blog is a lot of work because you have to write your posts, post on social media to get readers. Plus I had a full-time job as well. I saw posts about virtual assistants so I reached out to one to assist me with my social media posting. She did graphics for posts and for social media then posted them on Facebook and Instagram. She engaged with my audience as well. I really enjoyed having someone do the work for me as I didn’t have enough time in the day to do it all like a night shift worker/wife/mother.

Having a virtual assistant can save you and your business time each day and week. Think about the time saved if a virtual assistant is doing the following tasks:

  • Checking/responding to email daily for 30 minutes a day

  • Posting on Social media(creating graphics) in order to grow the business 15-30 minutes a day

  • Creating and sending out newsletters to current and prospective customers 1 hour a month

  • Scheduling appointments with customers

  • Researching information for the business
