Six Great Reasons to Hire a VA Today
Technology and the Internet have changed the way that small businesses operate and has given rise to a new breed of employee - the virtual assistant.
The good ones are highly trained in any number of areas and work from their own home offices.
Many small business owners and entrepreneurs in the 21st century agree that without their "VA" they would be lost.
But why should you hire one? Here are six very good reasons: 1.
Hiring a VA to do the more mundane tasks associated with your business leaves you free to do what you got into business to do - concentrate, create and make money.
Really, do you want to spend all day on Twitter just because you know it's a good way to market your business? Of course you don't (unless your name is Ashton Kutcher) 2.
No hassles with Uncle Sam - Do you know all the rules that the IRS have that govern how you pay an employee? Probably not, unless you are a payroll specialist or a CPA.
As independent contractors Virtual Assistants take care of their own taxes and you do not have to pay unemployment or worker's comp insurance.
3.
A virtual assistant does not have to tell your clients that she works from home and having an assistant always makes someone sound quite important doesn't it? All kidding aside having a VA adds a little more credibility to your start up business in the eyes of others.
4.
Hire the right Virtual Assistant and there is no task that they will not be willing to tackle.
No whining that its "not their job" and no three hour lunch breaks either.
5.
What if you hire an employee and then run out of work for them to do half way through the week? Do you really want to pay them to spend Thursday and Friday playing Farmville on Facebook because they have nothing else to do? A virtual assistant can be there when you need them, only when you need them.
6.
Because they have to be, a good Virtual Assistant may be more clued in to certain things than you yourself are and can bring some extremely useful and creative ideas to the table to help your business flourish and grow.
