Virtual assistants aren't just for uber-busy business execs or jet-setting celebrities anymore. If you frequently run out of time on projects, or you find it a hassle to perform certain tasks, a virtual assistant could be your solution.
Sites like fancyhands.com and zirtual.com are specifically geared to provide general virtual services, while Odesk.com and elance.com offer thousands of specialized virtual tasks performed by those with certain skillsets.
Costs for these services vary, starting at $25 a month, and are typically based on the number of task requests you make per month.
Here are a few ways you can use a virtual assistant to make life easier:
Bookkeeping, tracking bills and staying on top of banking information are popular, albeit time-consuming tasks better left to assistants.
Online shopping for finding and sending birthday gifts and wedding presents, or for comparing and locating items to be purchased later, is another popular task to delegate to virtual assistants.
Data-entry can be a pain, but assistants can help with everything from bills to managing calendar events to setting up money management software.
Managing email is a hassle for lots of busy folks. Let virtual assistants help you sort and prioritize.
Travel and vacation research can also be delegated to help you find the best travel deals.
Finally, Knowledge preparation for business meetings, reports, homework, potential opportunities, or anything you want to know more about, can be outsourced to save you time.
Time is money, and sometimes it pays big dividends if you have a little help! These ideas scratch the surface of tasks a virtual assistant can handle for you. Delegating tasks you don't have time for (or simply don't enjoy) will pay off in the long run.
