Freelancers: Is it time you hired a Virtual Assistant?
If you are a freelancer that is managing a heavy workload, you may consider working with a virtual assistant or VA to manage tasks. Effectively freeing up your time to dedicate to other areas of your business.
A VA is similar to a traditional office assistant but so much more versatile, with knowledge and skillsets that can be applied across many different areas of business.
A virtual assistant doesn’t have to be physically present, which can be a bonus for home-based freelancers. Similarly, many VA’s operate from their home on a freelance basis.
Some freelancers work extensively with their virtual assistants and never meet face to face. Communicating via emails, messages, or Zoom calls.
Why would a freelancer need a virtual assistant or VA?
Freelancers tend to seek the services of a VA when their workload gets too much, or to outsource repetitive or time-consuming tasks.
This gives the freelancer the freedom to focus on the areas of business that require their full attention.
For example, you may be a freelance copywriter that handles content creation for clients and maintains a website and blog of your own to promote your services.
