If your site is delivering results chances are you spend a good bit of your time keeping up with tasks like refreshing page copy, pruning underperforming pages, image editing, blogging or managing Google Adwords buys. Want to cut your site maintenance time in half or more without breaking the bank hire a virtual assistant or VA for short to help with the more routine tasks.
Because they serve a variety of customers VA’s are able to spread service costs across a range of clients so no individual client is left to fund their child’s college education. This means you are likely to spend a lot less than you would on a full time employee even before benefits are factored in.
What can they do?
Some VA’s can handle just about any job from more technical website maintenance tasks to light public relations management but be prepared to pay a premium if you need McGuiver. You are more likely to find that most VA’s possess a more narrow range of skills. Getting a referral from a trusted source is perhaps the best way to ensure that you don’t botch the selection process.
Where can I find them?
Twitter and similar social media sites are great places to dig up referrals. Directories like the International Virtual Assistant Association are also reliable sources for VA seekers.
While a virtual assistant will not allow you to completely abandon your website upkeep, your VA will have you swinging a few more golf clubs on the links.
