Even if you aren’t into technology, and don’t know a plug in from a widget you can still be a very successful Internet Business Owner. You can do what the big wigs do – Outsource.
Outsource anything that you do not know how to do, or don’t do quickly and well. Let go of the frustration and just let someone else do it. Think of yourself as a project manager. You come up with the ideas, then supervise and delegate tasks to the professionals.
You don’t have to find just one Virtual Assistant to do all tasks. You can hire separate Independent Contractors to do various tasks. Lets look at a possible Project to manage.
A New Info Product.
So you have a great idea for a new information product, you can write it in your sleep, but you don’t know what to do with it when you’re done. What do you do?
You can hire several people to help with this project such as:
An Editor – Someone to make sure your grammar and spelling is correct and that your end product looks readable and is in proper format for distribution.
A Copy Writer – Someone who can read the E-book and write up the perfect copy to properly motivate readers to purchase your product.
A Graphic Designer – Someone to create Graphics for your product. You need an E-book cover maybe graphics for inside the document to make it look extra professional. Some banner and buttons for advertising the product for you and your affiliates.
A Web – Blog Designer – Someone who can set up your blog or website (with WordPress ™ that can be one and the same. This person can set it up and keep it up to date, and /or teach you how to do it.
An Affiliate Marketing Manager – Someone to find and manage all your affiliates. This person will be able to encourage and motivate what is essentially your sales team. This person can usually also set up the technology, keep the technology working, and answer any tech questions about software related to affiliate marketing.
A Social Media Marketing Manager – Someone who will set up all your social media and keep it running and updated, such as facebook, myspace, linkedin, twitter, digg, blogs, and more.
A ghost writer – someone who can write articles about your niche thereby effectively promoting your product(s).
Generalist – Someone who does all the other tasks needed to run your business to include answering customer service emails, send out press releases, simple blog postings and more.
Honestly I could go on and on about how much a Virtual Assistant can do and this is just for one product. No one VA can do all tasks, (well maybe there is someone out there who can) but anyone that you hire to do the tasks above are essentially virtual assistants even if they have another title.
Virtual Assistants are professionals who are very valuable members of your team. Imagine how much faster you can get your products to those who need them if you could multiply yourself.
By hiring a VA – you can do it.
