What Is a Virtual Assistant? 

A virtual assistant is typically a dedicated remote employee that offers administrative support for your business. They can complete various tasks to give you more time to focus on other business tasks. Virtual assistants can do everything from administrative work and emails to arranging travel and creating social media posts. Virtual assistants are used across many industries, meaning there is bound to be one that suits your business needs. 

Types of Virtual Assistant Jobs

Administrative Work

Virtual assistants are most commonly hired to complete administrative tasks. These tasks include scheduling meetings, responding to emails, booking travel and tracking expenses. Having someone at the ready to help with your admin tasks is essential to increase productivity and efficiency within your business. 

Personal Assistant 

A personal assistant differs slightly with more focus on outside of work tasks. These include booking holidays, purchasing gifts, and organising calendars. So personal assistants make managing your work and personal life a little bit easier! 

Customer Service

If your business offers a product or service, a virtual assistant can be used to assist customers looking for help. Virtual assistants can act as the first point of contact for customers and provide basic support, and if the request gets more complex, they can then pass it on to another person within the company. 

Social Media Management

Virtual assistants can be super helpful for businesses that don’t have enough time to run their social media. Having a social media assistant can be beneficial as they can be responsible for responding to comments, interacting with followers, maintaining a posting schedule or creating analytics summaries. 

Graphic Designer 

A design assistant can go hand in hand with a social media assistant as they can assist with designing social media content and email templates, as well as other tasks like creating presentations, infographics, flyers, and other collateral you may need. 

Benefits of Having a Virtual Assistant

There are many benefits to hiring a virtual assistant for your business. Some of these include:

• Reduced costs: Hiring a virtual assistant is typically cheaper than hiring an in-office assistant. They also can be hired as a freelancer rather than full or part-time, further reducing costs by working on an as-needed basis. 
• Save time: Your virtual assistant can take care of small tasks that often seem to slip to the back of your mind throughout the week. Submitting expense reports, publishing meeting minutes, or sending out emails can all be delegated to your virtual assistant making your work day more efficient. 
• Increased flexibility: If you hire a virtual assistant outside of your timezone, you may be able to improve business efficiency. While you rest, your virtual assistant could work on updating your website or creating content in their timezone after you’ve clocked off for the day.
