Which virtual assistant tasks are you ready to take off your plate?
That should be a question that you’re asking yourself almost every week.
As your business is getting off the ground and starting to grow, you need to make sure that you are not the only one doing all of the work.
Getting into a trap where you are the only one performing all of the tasks for your business is a very slippery slope to go down.
In no time, you’ll find yourself stuck in a corner where you are working 10+ hours each day, but only on the operations of the business. All of those awesome thoughts that you had about growth will be jammed far back into your brain and you won’t have any time to breath.
Many entrepreneurs find themselves in this situation and it’s quite sad to see when there are millions of virtual assistants and freelancers all over the world looking to help business owners take tasks off their plates.
In this article, I want to inspire you to start taking tasks off you plate. And to do that, I’m going to provide you with a list of 100 virtual assistant tasks that you can start to outsource.
This list is created from 5+ years of recruiting, hiring, and building online companies using remote freelancers. To date, it’s helped me and my business partner to sell over $25 million online.
Without all of the virtual assistants that we hired, we’d be nowhere close to that achievement.
So, buckle in, open a new notepad on your computer or phone, and get ready to start taking notes.
First, let’s start with basic business tasks that you can easily take off your plate to start saving you hours each day.
This first set of virtual assistant tasks are extremely common with almost any online business that is growing and gaining more customers every day.
Jot down ones that are most relevant and frustrating to your business in that notepad that you opened.
Hire a virtual assistant to compile data and prepare daily business reports so that you and your business owners can track how the company is performing. Whether it’s daily revenue, gross profits, expenses, or net profits, knowing the details of your business each day can help to make smarter decisions over the long run.
If you have simple tasks that you perform on a daily basis that data entry focused, you should not be spending your time there. Hire an affordable VA to handle that for you and stay focused on growing your company.
Is your business constantly looking to improve and add new customers or partners? Of course you are. Online research can take up hours every single day and there is always more of it that you can do. Instead of spending time researching, stay focused on the custom emails that are going to bring you more business. A freelancer is perfect for this.
Does your business require any advanced Excel work that isn’t worth your time? Most companies have to deal with loads of data on a regular basis calling for expertise within the Excel program. If you don’t have it or you don’t have the time to work within Excel, hire a freelancer to manage your Excel projects.
Do you want more conversions on your website or online store? Copywriting is an essential aspect of educating your customer and guiding them towards an eventual purchase or sign up. Hire an experienced copywriter to bring your content to the next level so you can capture more sales and leads.
If you own an online store, you must know how important it is that your product listings have amazing and unique content. Building out content for product listings can take a lot of precious time! Why spend your time on it when you can hire a specialist to handle it for you?
Do you run meetings every week? Do you wish that you had better notes to share out to workers or to come back to after the fact? Hiring a VA can make that wish a reality. They’ll take notes, summarize them, and organize them into your online files.
Have you hired so many of remote workers that it’s becoming too many to manage on a daily basis? That’s an amazing problem to have. A remote project manager can step in creating a layer between you and the freelancers you hire, giving you more time to stay focused on growth. With a project manager, you gain a person who can watch over all the remote workers while providing you with key updates.
Are you someone that has meetings 8-10 hours per day? Organizing your calendar and scheduling appointments can take time and become mind numbing if you are worrying about 20 other things. Having a personal assistant can take that burden off your plate and keep your life organized to a tee.
How much time do you spend in your email account per day? 2 hours? 4 hours? You can hire a VA to clear out simple emails from your account every morning so that you’re only dealing with the top level communications that need your attention. You’ll never imagine how much time this can free up.
Every growing business needs lead generation workers constantly finding and reaching out to new clients. Hiring a lead generation expert will ensure that someone is always researching potential customer markets and providing you with the contact information so you can intelligently reach out. Say hello to more business!
Taking your business efforts international? Hire a freelancer to translate your content to different languages so that you’re not limited when expanding to new international markets.
Bookkeeping is perhaps one of the most important aspects of keeping your business up and running for the long run. Depending on your business, it can be a tedious and time consuming task on a daily basis. Hire someone with years of experience managing business books and feel assured that your financials are being handled properly.
With more and more software companies being built, tech support is becoming more important than ever. As with customer service, it takes time and you need the right knowledge to speak with customers about the product that you’re offering. Hiring an experienced tech support agent can make that aspect of your business less worrisome.
Content is king, right? The more content you produce, the better you can make your SEO and organic search results. Writing blog articles takes time (2-5 hours per article) and you need someone to handle the writing for you. There are thousands of freelancers fully capable of making your blog content desireable.
Do you run a blog for your business? If you do, you’ve probably realized how much time it can take to keep it operating and growing. Hire someone who’s been through the trenches before and can organize your content calendar, content writers, and everything else involved.
Great SEO comes down to high quality keyword targeting and back links. Without one of the two, you’ll never reach the pique of your potential. There are specialists out there that know how to get good backlinks from reliable sources. Hire a SEO back link freelancer to join you
and increase organic search rankings.
Once you’ve researched potential client’s email addresses, you still need to send them a custom email to attract their attention.

Do you use Skype to communicate with clients? It can become overwhelming when you’re trying to talk to so many clients on a daily basis. It can pull you away from working on growth for your company. Hire a VA and coach them on how to communicate with your clients to solve simple issues so you don’t have to use your time doing that.
Looking for some workers? Hire a recruitment specialist to create posts, circulate them on multiple hiring platforms, and review applications. They can remove hours of work that you would otherwise be performing. You can still handle the final interview, but why not have someone that gets the best applicants for you first.
Every business runs into legal needs whether it is initial contracts or new partnerships with other companies. You will need a lawyer at some point or not and having a freelancer on call that you can get answers from quickly is an easy way to get legal advice without paying hundreds of dollars every month.
Do you have an accountant yet to handle your business and personal taxes at the end of the year? Hiring the right accountant can make sure that you get the most out of your tax returns and don’t overpay. There are plenty of skilled freelancers that can help you with your business and personal life in this matter. Don’t miss out on the opportunity.
This next set of virtual assistant tasks focuses on companies that are selling online.
Whether it’s selling on Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Jet, Sears, Rakuten, or any other eCommerce platform out there, you are going to run into tasks that you won’t have time to perform on a daily basis.

Similar to above, jot down any that make sense for your business.

Want to start running pay per click advertising campaigns on your Amazon or eBay seller account? Hiring a PPC expert is an amazing route to fast forwarding to a time where you are receiving sales from your ads on the marketplaces.
