FollowInternational Virtual Assistants Day
May 16th is International Virtual Assistants Day. This is a day in which people should give recognition to people who are often behind the scenes providing some sort of assistance to business owners all over the world. Some of these businesses are privately owned and others are corporate businesses. No matter how small or large a company is, hiring the services of a virtual assistant or VA as they are also known as, is very cost-effective.
Not only are VA cost-effective, they perform some of the administrative tasks that may be long and cumbersome. When you hire a VA, you are freeing up some of your time to take care of more important business matters or have more free time to enjoy with family. Most VA’s work online, providing services such as- writing content, working on your website, social media promotion, creating awareness for your brand, marketing, booking appointments, managing email, calling business on the phone for you, and a vast array of other tasks.
They can also do your book keeping, such as managing invoices, prepare checks, and take care of other financial matters. Some are perfectly capable of managing your database, setting up new leads, updating current client information and so much more. A VA can take care of your marketing campaign by setting up a promotional giveaway on their blog or via social media platforms.
They are also able to do research for you, checking out the latest trends and news resources, and provide documents to assist you in getting the word out about your business, by providing you with newsletters, content for your website, or even something for print media.
Before hiring a VA to work on a specific task for you, make sure that they are have the skills that you are looking for. Not all VA’s know how to do everything, but most are willing to learn something new. Most of them are very proficient, friendly, and professional. Getting the job done properly and in a timely fashion is what they are known for.
If you happen to need something done that you either do not know how to do or do not have the time or inclination to do it, do yourself a favor and hire a Virtual Assistant.
Many of them often work long into the night, and weekends as well. Pay them a decent wage for their time and efforts. Hiring a VA is a win-win situation. The VA gains some income and you get the job done.
Remember International Virtual Assistants Day is May 16th. Compliment your VA on a job well done or hire one to do a task for you. They are hard-working professionals that are often paid far less than what they are worth.
