Well, I come from a company that provides virtual assistant services. There’s a lot you can assign a VA; from the basics to the highly technical things. Some usually have their VA’s answer e-mails, handle social media, sell products via e-bay and amazon or write. Whereas established companies normally outsource their services–whether it be Auto CAD, programming or SEO.

Virtual assistants have actually been around for a while now, but have only recently started to emerge. I’m an author’s assistant and most of my online time is spent keeping a calendar for her and reminding her of upcoming events, beta reading any posts, blogs, or pages that she has, finding marketing opportunities, and updating Facebook and Goodreads to name a few.

As for pay, most of us do it for free but it all depends on your situation and what you want to get out of it. The author and I both went over what we wanted to get out of the partnership and so far it’s working really well.

I really like your article Stacey and believe this is an emerging trend. Leverage is critical to business success and having someone you can trust to do the mechanics is a key. I started using VA services within Australia and India and could not find the right balance between cost and quality. I then set-up my own Smartsourcing business to get the balance right. I know change is difficult for all of us, however the cost of staying the same may outway trying a new way of working. Enjoy..Paul

Facebook, and Goodreads promotions. Running a Facebook fan page is crazy. Also, possible blog entries. Anything and everything I could to gain time back for writing.

If I hired an assistant, it wouldn’t be “virtual” — it’d be a REAL someone who could handle a broom and a mop and get dinner on the table by 5:30.
