Today is International Virtual Assistants Day!
I know, I know, there is a day for everything, right?
But I am super excited because this is MY first Virtual Assistants Day, well officially.
After over a decade of doing this kind of work as a mom, volunteer, and helping my husband run his businesses, I have a name for what I had been unwittingly doing for years. And now a business to go along with it!
What IS a virtual assistant? Well, I work with small businesses, solo professionals, and non-profits in the areas of office logistics, project management, and social media management, to name a few. Is that an exhaustive list? Nope, but it gives us somewhere to start!
In our business, Ray and I are combining our years of technical IT support and administrative business management. Yup, it’s that simple.
Because of the nature of their jobs, virtual assistants usually make extensive use of the latest technology, mostly the internet, to undertake their duties from a remote location. Tasks might range from taking phone calls to answering emails, from making appointments to carrying out online research.
How can you help us celebrate this day?
Raise Awareness for Virtual Assistants
One of the purposes of International Virtual Assistants Day is to raise awareness for the ways that virtual assistants are able to help improve the lives of business people all over the world. Those who work in the corporate world or small businesses alike can use their sphere of influence to promote the idea, start conversations, shed some light on what it’s like and perhaps even answer questions to help others become more aware of and interested in the concept of virtual assistants.
Hire a Virtual Assistant
Finding that it’s hard to get everything done in life for a small business or corporation? It makes a lot of sense to consider hiring a virtual assistant to perform various tasks that are keeping you from more important things.
