[Contents Widget]A Virtual Assistant, hmm, what’s that, you might ask? While for many people who have heard the term before might not truly understand what a VA is or does.
As the name says, a virtual assistant assists startups, small businesses, and e-commerce virtually. They do not work onsite ( at the business location). But they can work from home or wherever they can set up their virtual office.

Their work is done completely by using the internet, a computer and of course necessary apps needed to accomplish administrative task.

Now that we know who a virtual assistant is let’s understand what they do and the different types of VAs.
Most people will go by the term Virtual Assistant. However, when someone has obtained specific experience and skills, they tend to use the word “Executive Virtual Assistant.”
While the two might have similar duties, an executive VA will have more advanced tasks.

There are also VAs who have specialized management skills and will now remove the VA part from their resume. Ideally, they started as a virtual assistant but branched off more into personalized skill like Digital Marketing Manager, Social Media Management, etc.

Why would you need a virtual assistant?

As an entrepreneur, you will encounter many difficulties when dealing with your day-to-day business affairs. This can include keeping the social media up and running it consistently. Ensuring that all emails have been answered. Setting appointments and scheduling an onsite or virtual tour. Having a solid customer support system, Recruiting & HR and more.

Getting a VA eliminates all of these tasks that will enable you to focus on keeping inventory up to date, having your meetings on time, and freeing up your schedule to spend time with your family.

Don’t consider VAs cheap labor; they are essential to your business growth. They are the key to getting that car started, like a fresh coat of paint, and finally, yes, they are the cleaning lady that gets the job done after hoarding your long to-do list but never cleaning it up!

How will a VA save me money?

Most virtual assistants you encounter typically work on a weekly, monthly, or as-needed basis. This would mean that VAs get paid differently.

A Virtual Assistant Package or Hiring an in-house Assistant:

Regarding VA, the cost is exceptionally budget-friendly compared to hiring someone to work onsite. For example, you can outsource a virtual assistant and create a package plan that fits your needs for as little as 300 for set packages or services. They run your entire administrative department virtually. However, hiring someone would run you $4,000+ a month, which does not include the benefits and other expenses you will incur.
