Outsourcing and Virtual Assistants: Small Business Saviors
Work smarter, not harder
What is one of the best ways to work smarter without working harder? The answer is outsourcing. Whether you need occasional or ongoing assistance, outsourcing can save you money and time. Graphic designers, copywriters, bookkeepers, website programmers, office assistants, and other types of professionals are all readily available.
And, there's a new way of hiring people ? the World Wide Web connects independent professionals and small businesses that don't need or want full-time help. Try typing "Virtual Assistant" into a search engine. You will find a vast array of online resources. According to the International Virtual Assistants Association,
- "A Virtual Assistant (VA) is an independent entrepreneur providing administrative, creative, and/or technical services. Utilizing advanced technological modes of communication and data delivery, a professional VA assists clients in his/her area of expertise from his/her own office on a contractual basis."
This means you can find a virtual assistant for almost any type of work. Are you a plumber who needs accounting? Or a professional speaker who needs help arranging your appointments? Perhaps you would like some help writing proposals, designing a new website, or sending out press releases. You can find someone online for all of these services.
For many "around the office" types of jobs, virtual assistants get paid $20 to $50 an hour. More specialized services such as programming, legal assistance, graphic design, or coaching can cost $75 to $125 an hour. This may sound expensive at first. However, if you are not in need of a person in your office 40 hours every week, it becomes a very cost-effective solution.
While I realize, costs fluctuate widely, let's look at some sample numbers to compare the typical costs of maintaining an employee versus outsourcing:
- Sample costs of a full-time employee Employee Salary: $36,000/ $17.31/hr.
