How Your Virtual Assistant Can Pay For Themselves
“I don’t know how to make sure I get VALUE from my Virtual Assistant…”
I hear this more times than I can count.
Sure, at first glance, hiring a VA looks a lot like money going in one direction in your biz - OUT. But there’s more to it than that.
Not only can a virtual assistant pay for themselves, but they can also provide a great return on investment.
You get vital help in your business AND you can scale and grow while you do it. WIN/WIN!
The trick is in knowing HOW to best use this valuable resource in your business.
With some clever planning and a pinch of Selina magic, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how much value a VA can bring.
So, what’s the secret? Well-planned delegation - that’s the key.
There are tasks you do in your business that you either
❌ HATE doing
❌ Take you LOADS of time
❌ Are tedious and not your bag
Why spend the time doing those things when you should be spending time in your zone of genius?
There are some great guides out there about what you should assign to your VA. BUT you’ll get better ROI if you personalise it to your business.
Before you hire your VA, set out a list of all the tasks you do during a working day/week/month/quarter (yes, ALL of them!)
Which of these tasks HAVE to be done by you? (I bet there are less than you think...)
Which tasks take up too much of your time?
What jobs free up brain-space for you to grow the biz?
Once you have these, you have a great start for the tasks your VA should be doing.
It might not necessarily be the strictly “admin” tasks that you expect. Maybe they do social media for you? Perhaps it’s blogging? What if they supported your move into new systems and processes?
So YES a Virtual Assistant can ABSOLUTELY pay for themselves. You just gotta make the most of the time they spend working in your biz.
For a bit of guidance in the delegation journey, I’ve created a handy guide: How To Generate A Positive ROI On Your Virtual Assistant
