Virtual Assistants: Freelance, Part-Time or Full-Time?

I’m always happy to pass on great info...and this one is great! I’ve included a few snippets below lifted from the full article...As a business owner looking to outsource to a Virtual Assistant there are many different options on how to hire and in what capacity. You can work with a number of different freelancers at once, one person casually, one person at a set number of hours or even on a full-time basis.

There can be many reasons for each but at the end of the day it comes down to the role, what your need is and what your goal is behind outsourcing that need.

Hiring a Freelance Virtual Assistant

You’ve got a lot of ‘odd jobs’ arising in your business. Maybe you need someone to design you a logo one day, sort some data the next and set up a webinar sequence for you the following week.

Hiring a Full-Time Virtual Assistant

Your best bet in setting yourself up for success with a Virtual Assistant is to have them secured to your business on an ongoing basis. Whether that means x number of hours per week, or in a full-time capacity. Securing the right someone on an ongoing basis gives them a reason to be truly committed to your business and it will 100% show in their output. It can also lead to innovation as they will learn more about you and be able to contribute ideas for growth. This is truly how you will benefit from outsourcing. Someone who can own their tasks and show loyalty to the company is going to maximise the benefits you see from outsourcing to begin with.

So, when thinking about how you want to start working with a VA, think about your business needs but also the goal of outsourcing. With that clarity, you’ll be able to choose the right option for you.
