INTRODUCTION Every business owner and worker alike knows that there just isn t enough time in the day. Business has always been about saving time and money, but many personal assistants will help you in the former while draining you in the latter. In the quest for affordability, many are now aware of the prospect of outsourcing tasks and hiring on overseas Virtual Assistant (VA), but are just unsure of how to get started. The unfortunate reality is that even though you may want to save more time by hiring a VA, business owners like yourself just don t have the time or familiarity to go through the screening and recruitment process. Thankfully, here at Outsourcing Angel, we work to make this task as simple as possible for you. We help with recruiting the best VA for you and continue to manage them after the initial hiring. This allows you to reap the benefits of having your own VA, whilst not being bogged down by monitoring or administration. With all this said, some are still unfamiliar with the work of VAs and others will underestimate their capabilities. In this ebook, you will find a list of 50 important tasks that your VA can do to help with your business. While their potential is much greater than this, these 50 will be enough to open your eyes to the untapped potential of VAs. After reading this ebook, feel free to contact us to have a chat about how we can help you get started with a VA.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW EXACTLY HOW EFFECTIVE A VA ANGEL COULD BE FOR YOUR BUSINESS WITHOUT SPENDING A CENT? For a limited time Outsourcing Angel is offering a Free 30 minute VA Effectiveness Session. The aim of this session is for you to spend 30 minutes 1-on-1 with an outsourcing specialist to look at the specifics of your business and show you exactly how effective a VA Angel could be. If you take up this offer you will walk away with a clear understanding of: - What tasks would be suitable and not suitable for a VA within your business - How much time you can save per week - How cost effective a VA would be for your business In most cases we re able to find tasks that you didn t think a VA could do. HOW GREAT WOULD IT BE IF WE FOUND YOU ADDITIONAL WAYS A VA COULD HELP YOUR BUSINESS THAT SAVED YOU AN EXTRA 5 HOURS A WEEK? If you went to run A million dollar business then you can t get caught up doing $10 per hour tasks! Do you think Richard Bronson transcribes videos or does keyword research? No chance, because he understands the power of leveraging lower cost employees so he can focus on bigger more important tasks. For example if your time is worth $100 an hour and you are doing tasks that one worth $20 an hour, it is costing you $80 every single hour! By using a VA to remove all the small $10 and $20 per hour tasks you re now leveraging your time so you can focus on more important tasks (like growing the business).
DOESN T IT MAKE SENSE TO KNOW HOW EFFECTIVE A VA WOULD BE BEFORE HIRING AND NOT AFTER YOU HAVE ALREADY HIRED THEM? Here is how most people hire a VA: 1. They jump on Upwork or a similar service. 2. They spend hours looking through resumes and doing interviews with potential VAs. 3. They hire someone only to realise they need to be trained further and can t do the tasks required. 4. They realise how time consuming it can be with managing the wrong VA. In most cases the process ends up costing both time and money... which is ironic as it was exactly what they were trying to save in the first place. This is why the VA Effectiveness Session makes sense! HERE S HOW IT WORKS: 1. First we ll get on the phone with you one-on-one, and go over your business situation. 2. We ll take a look at where you re at, what you re doing and what you want to achieve with a VA Angel. 3. Once we have those details we ll be able to show you how to best utilise your VA Angel to have them working effectively for you to save you time and money. And like I said, there is NO charge for this!
