Sadly time is something we can’t make more of and as a business owner your time is incredibly precious. Between responding to emails, posting on social media, chasing invoices and keeping your website looking fresh it’s easy to let the important “bigger picture” tasks get forgotten.
Here are some ways a Virtual Assistant can change everything!
1. Social Media Scheduling
Keeping your brand visible to prospective customers is vital but creating, scheduling and engaging takes time. A VA can:
- Plan your content calendar
- Schedule posts
- Respond to comments and direct messages
- Track engagement
Time saved: 2-4 hours per week
2. Inbox Management
A cluttered inbox is the worst way to start your day! A VA can:
- Sort and prioritise your emails
- Flag urgent messages
- Draft responses or send holding emails
- Unsubscribe from unwanted mailing lists or spam
Time saved: 2-3 hours per week
3. Website Updates
Your website is often your first touch point with prospective clients. A VA can support with:
- Adding new products
- Updating prices
- Refreshing blog content
- Adding and updating pages
Time saved: 1-2 hours per week
4. Admin Support
The admin tasks that are supposed to take 5 minutes are often the biggest pull on your time. A VA can support with:
- Data entry
- Invoice chasing
- Preparing presentations and document formatting
- Making travel arrangements
Time saved: 2-3 hours per week
5. The Outcome
More time for you to focus on strategy, finding new clients and growing your business.
