Tasks to Outsource to your Virtual Assistant Online

Not sure what to assign your Virtual Personal Assistant?

The answer could be simple, but of course, this still depends on your business situation. First, ask yourself, what can you easily handover without a second thought? As you can easily outsource pretty much anything that doesn’t require a personal presence. Here's a guide on what would work best by selectively choose the task you want done:
  •     Tasks that are most time consuming.
  •     Tasks that create roadblocks for you (tasks you personally keep putting off for another day)
  •     Does my project require a VA to use specific software or tool?
  •     Tasks that are beyond your capability, but is within the skill sets of the VA you hired
  •     Tasks that are too simple (such as filing and typing your business cards into one database or master list)
        Tasks based on cost (Tasks that would cost a per hour, per project, per word, per page rates)
  •     Tasks that you simply hate to do (and would like them to magically vanished and get done with)
It’s a tough situation choosing which tasks should be dealt with initially, but there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Just know that the more details you provide your VA for her to execute her work tasks, the more time you save and more streamline your workflow will be.
