Most business owners don’t think they need to be on social media and they couldn’t be more wrong. If you are not on social media you are missing out on an innovative, inexpensive, and very effective way to reach almost half of the world’s population. If your business is not on social media, here are some reasons to consider hopping on the bandwagon.
- Increase brand awareness
- Give your business a human touch
- Establish your brand as a leader and authority
- Stay top of mind
- Increase website traffic
- Build a strong email list
- Generate leads
- Partner with influencers
- Promote content with ads
- Analyze and reach your target audience
- Create a community around your brand
- Extract valuable customer insights (your customers will tell it ALL in the comment section. The good, the bad, and the ugly!)
If you are hesitant about promoting your brand on social media because:
1. You just don’t know how to work it
2. You don’t know how to create content
3. You don’t have a clear marketing strategy
4. You don’t want to be on camera
5. You just don’t think you need social media
Contact us, our team of professionals can help you:
Establish a brand identity, reach your target audience, and create content that converts, and ultimately drives more sales to your business.
Prepare Your Business to Hire a Virtual Assistant
Business owners who have never hired an assistant may not be ready to bring someone on. Here are some ways you can prepare yourself and your business for a VA.
1. Have clearly defined roles and tasks you want your assistant to fulfill. This will ensure the assistant knows exactly what you’re expecting and will make the process easier to follow.
2. Have a realistic budget, we all know by now that you can go on websites such as Fiverr, and UpWork and hire Virtual Assistants for $5.00 an hour in the Philippines. We also know that you get what you pay for and usually hiring “cheap” staff leads to another set of problems. Having a realistic and fair budget attracts talented and motivated assistants who want to work with you and who will deliver projects in a timely and professional manner.
3. Start with a trial period and add tasks as you see fit. The magic to having a Virtual Assistant is they can work as much or as little as you need. If you are hiring your first VA start with contract work. It only takes about two weeks to decide if you want to keep that VA or if you need to go back to the drawing board and find another one.
Is your business ready for a Virtual Assistant? If so, schedule a time to speak with us. We would love to learn how we can help scale your business.
