What is a Virtual Assistant?


No, it’s not what you think, it’s not Alexa nor Siri. A virtual assistant is the one who does your work “virtually”. It means that they have to use the means of the internet. They can be delegated to every task that depends on what you need. Many people just think that a virtual assistant just replaced the work of personal assistants, but this is a complete misconception. Virtual assistants skills are not just about organizing your calendar and transferring calls, they are versatile. Yes, they can organize your calendar and answer calls for you, but they can also make your website from scratch or even can edit your photos and made them slim. This is because that as the rise of virtual assistant increases, they demand their work also increases. So the competition on this is at high stake and by winning a heart of an employer, one must have an exceptional set of skill to land a gig.

The Benefit of Having Virtual Assistant


Having a virtual assistant will truly help you grow in your business it is because it is very cost effective for both employee and employer. It is because:

1.    As I said, most virtual assistant mostly work from home. So, say goodbye to office bills and you can spare yourself on buying a coffee machine.

2.    A virtual assistant can be paid “less” rather than an office-based employee. But it still depends on the skill set of a virtual assistant that you will hire and what task you will delegate them to.

3.    More on productivity. As because most virtual assistants work from home, it is a stated fact that one who do their job in their comfortable place, they become more focused and be more productive. There is no place like home.

4.    They can schedule your calendar and answer your phone calls.

My current boss has his hobby as a painter also, he’s a CEO of our cloud base e-commerce/service company. He hired us a virtual assistant to take care of his business on the internet and now, he’s currently happily painting and doing the thing he loves while also having his cloud company reaping our fruits of labor as his VA. Indeed, virtual assistants not just make your business life easier, it also makes a man happy.
