Virtual Freedom by hiring a Virtual Assistant
As business owners, we need to learn to take off the "super hero" cape and delegate tasks to others. I have owned businesses where I was "all things to all people.." The owner, the book keeper, the marketer, the web designer, the graphic designer, the networker, the trainer, the coach, the secretary...you name it, I did it. And it was exhausting. Throughout my journey, I have learned to get rid of the tasks that I dread and give them to someone that is WAY better at it than I am. {enter virtual assistant and outsourcing} The book, Virtual Freedom, gives you a step by step guide on which tasks to delegate, how to properly hire and train a virtual assistant, and why utilizing highly trained and qualified professionals in the Philippines works great for you as a business owner and for them as a developing country, where a great hourly wage is around $3-$8/hour.
When you are ready to begin your search for a virtual assistant, these are the sources I trust most and where I hire my virtual staff from.
Canva - photo and document design
Gone are the days where you need to pay a graphic designer to create logos, flyers, posts, social media banners, book covers, presentations, speaker sheets, and more. This simple app and website allow those of us who aren't graphic designers to make beautiful creations, to sync them between our phone and computer, and it's FREE! I create a LOT of my own graphics, blog photos, social media images and speaker sheets with this handy little app.
Fiverr.com - outsourcing individual projects
If a part time or full time virtual assistant isn't for you and there is some tech stuff you don't know how to do or simply don't want to do, Fiverr is a GREAT way to find qualified people who can create something for you. Most are from other countries, where the living wage is different than in the U.S. so you can have a video edited or logo made or website built starting at just $5 (hence the name). I use this for some of my projects and have been very happy with the work I received!
Social Media Management Tools
Social Media can make or break a business. social Media isn't going anywhere, so we may as well get used to mastering it in a way that is manageable, NOT time-consuming, and keeps our social media presence consistent. Whether you are blogging, utilizing different social media pages/profiles, videos, etc...having consistent content across multiple platforms is important. Especially when content can be utilized in multiple ways (i.e. make a video from a blog post, have the blog post put into a book, transcribe the video into an article, utilize the audio from a video for a podcast, etc...). My two favorite social media management tools not just schedule posts (like Buffer, which I used to use and changed over), but can repost, it keeps track of your posting calendar, provides valuable insights and statistics, and you can manage multiple profiles and accounts. Check them out today and begin to have your social media work for you.
Online Storage for documents, files, videos, photos & more
With businesses requiring more digital space than ever before, and with businesses being mobile and collaborative, finding a place to store your branded content and being able to access it from your phone and your laptop and having your assistant being able to access information as well is important. I used to try and store everything on my computer, but found that storing all of those files and videos and photos made my computer run slow, plus I couldn't access the files from any other place. I finally got Dropbox and enjoy accessibility to all of my content from anywhere. It's worth it for sure!
Client Scheduling
Scheduling appointments - whether it is calls, meetings, etc., it is important to be efficient and "teach your clients" how to schedule a time with you. I enjoy using Acuity Scheduling, because I can create set hours for specific kind of appointments, send the scheduling link to my clients, and allow them to choose what works for them...no more "back and forth-your calendar-my calendar game-playing." This great app/website syncs with google calendar, it send reminder emails/texts (so that you don't have no-shows), and is very user friendly. I highly recommend using Acuity Scheduling!
