Are you a business owner looking for a way to save time and money? Are you trying to do everything related to running your small business and end up feeling like you've accomplished nothing? Is your business growing slower than you want because you are tied down with the daily office tasks? Could you benefit from an administrative assistant but can’t afford to hire an employee? If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions – we have a solution: hire a virtual administrative assistant!
Virtual administrative assistants are independent contractors who work remotely by phone and a computer with internet access to complete jobs for businesses, and you pay them a flat hourly rate or a project rate for the time they work for you. There are many tasks you can delegate to a virtual administrative assistant, allowing you to focus on the main items on your priority list. But what are some of those tasks? Glad you asked! Here is a list of some of the most common tasks virtual administrative assistants handle for businesses:
Traditional administrative assistant duties: Answering the phone, ordering supplies, making travel and hotel arrangements, scheduling appointments and keeping the calendar, building databases, transcribing, recording meeting minutes, drafting reports and presentations, and sending reminder emails.
Social media duties: Developing and maintaining a website; setting-up, managing, and updating social media accounts; writing and/or formatting email, newsletters, blog posts, or articles; commenting on blogs or discussion boards to increase your presence on social media; tracking analytics; and managing search engine optimization.
Financial duties: Creating and mailing out invoices, managing accounts payable and receivable, sending past-due notices, making online payments, and assisting your bookkeeper.
