Martin Koss – thinking out loud…

Some years ago when I started observing the emerging trend in VAs (Virtual Assistants) I was thinking “here we go again – another ‘industry’ developing around Facebook, Twitter, Blogging, and all that goes with it…” but now I think differently.

Introducing Virtual Assistants

I’ve followed a few Virtual Assistants via Twitter and Facebook for a while now and some of them do a great job providing networking, marketing and branding services that are, due to the time sap all these platforms can be, often overlooked or just not done effectively when ‘maintained’ in-house.

Let’s face it – another week passes so quickly and the list of ‘to-do’ items grows ever longer with many businesses getting nowhere at all while their competitors are grabbing all the fame in the social sphere by being active and being part of the ‘conversation’.

Where does that leave you?

Where does that leave the businesses that are doing nothing or very little at all? Well, it leaves them fighting for the scraps and literally scrambling around looking for what meagre opportunities are left over – which can often mean very little at all.

Tip: Hire a Virtual Assistant

The services provided by Virtual Assistants does vary and their individual skills and expertise must be scrutinised before jumping in with both feet… This will be a long-term (but rewarding) relationship!

With most VAs;
- You only pay for the time spent working for your company.
- You get an assistant who becomes passionate about your business
- You don’t need to learn everything or hire more staff to do it

Check out some of the great Virtual Assistants and see how well they have helped many businesses to expand their marketing and branding – without breaking the bank to do so. Here’s a few I would certainly consider:
