As discussed on the “How to Delegate” page on this site, the new passive-income-mind-frame is needed, where you take command of what needs to be done, and send your troops out to complete the job to your specifications. If you are one of those people that must maintain a tight control over every aspect of the work that needs to be completed –and in fact does ALL the work, I would bet dollars to donuts that you are will probably not be successful with your business in the long run. So what kind of virtual assistants jobs are available from an offshore VA? The list is practically limitless. But the primary services include everything from: executive assistants and secretaries, all types of writers (web copy, advertising writers, tech writers,,,), editors, website designers and programmers, SEO experts, researchers, Flash and PowerPoint experts, program schedulers and managers, on and on, if you can probably think it, there is a VA capable to help you out. So where do you find Virtual Assistants? You can always just do a search on Google and see what comes up for virtual assistants jobs. But there are a lot of websites dedicated to this and other virtual services. You can list your project or tasks into a project description and have a tons virtual assistance bid to provide you services. Examples of virtual assistants jobs websites include: oDesk.com For the small business owner, there are many economic benefits to having a virtual assistant rather than hiring an employee. First, you may not have enough work to fill a full-time employee's time or even a consistent amount of work to provide to a part-time employee. With a VA, you only pay for the time in which it takes them to complete his or her task. With an employee, there typically are many hours of unproductive time. Also, because a VA is not an employee, you do not have to pay payroll taxes or provide any benefits. Simply put, your cost is limited to their hourly rate. In addition, you will not have to invest in expensive computer equipment or software since the VA is required to provide all of that themselves. Not all virtual assistants are wonderful. We have had our share of misses when dealing with virtual assistants. We hired a person from the Philippines recently that was a total nightmare. We rolled the dice and gave this person an important website design project with Flash complex elements - all needed to be quickly completed for a short deadline. The VA was constantly emailing requests for the whole job payment even before he was halfway though, and his skills were not up to par. Worst of all, we had problems with language communications. Add to that the 12-hour time difference and this was a job from hell. In the end, we did not get anything close to what we had asked for and the deadline was missed by over a week. So, when starting off with new virtual assistants jobs, I feel that it is best to give them less important projects – at least in the beginning, and slowly work up, as you are comfortable with their abilities. You may want to even hire more than one based on their capability. It’s so easy to become overwhelmed with unproductive tasks. If you are not yet using a Virtual Assistant, consider what tasks are overwhelming you and think about whether they can be outsourced. Get used to leading a team, supervising them, and reaping the benefits. Return from Virtual Assistants Jobs to manifest-passive-income home page. |

Look, we have all put in the 60, 70, even 80 hour weeks struggling to build our online business (or any kind of business or that matter) to the point where it is making money. What is important though is for you to spend your time on the most important aspects of your business. Do the things that only you can do – where you are the true expert. Not areas that can be handled, quite nicely, by another person.
