As much as you try, you can’t do everything. As your business grows, you need to know when it’s time to let go of certain tasks and delegate them. The joy of outsourcing means that you can choose to outsource the jobs that bore you, or you find challenging, to someone who is an expert at them. Saving you time and stress in the long run.
But, for a lot of people, the idea of outsourcing can feel overwhelming…what tasks can you even outsource to a Virtual Assistant?
Don’t worry, I’ve got you! Here are 10 tasks you should consider outsourcing today.
1. SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGEMENT
It’s hard keeping up with several social media platforms, creating and posting content and engaging with your audience, as well as doing your actual work. Thankfully, this is a job you can outsource and have taken off your hands.
The level of involvement your Virtual Assistant or Social Media Manager will depend on what you decide - some will answer DMs, and create content from scratch, whereas others will just schedule your pre-written content for you.

2. GRAPHIC DESIGN
If design isn’t your forte and you find yourself getting snappy at Canva, why not hire a designer to do that side of things for you? You can ask your VA to create all the graphics you need for your biz, such as workbooks and freebies, or you can hire someone to make a set of editable templates for you to use yourself for your social media content for example.

3. COPYWRITING
Whether you need someone to write your sales pages, pimp up your newsletters or create some SEO-rich blog posts for your website, a copywriter is what you need. Simply give them a title and outline and they can spin some words that will have sales flooding in without you even having to load up Grammarly.
4. PINTEREST
Pinterest is a fantastic way to get traffic to your site but it can be pretty time consuming and you need to know what you’re doing. By hiring a Pinterest expert to manage your account, you will get custom-made pins to various pages and blog posts on your website that will be pinned strategically, generating traffic.
5. LEAD MAGNET/EBOOK DESIGN
Do you ever think you need an eBook or Lead Magnet for your business? Do you have all the ideas and content and just haven't got the time to create that beautifully branded design? Lead magnets are a great ways to show your expertise in an area, invite people into your business and show them that you are good at what you do.
By creating a lead magnet that showcases your expertise you can really grow your business and email lists! If you are interested in this please do get in touch I have a specific package and can support you through the whole process please get in touch to book a free call
By hiring a project manager, you don’t have to worry about what is being done, when and by whom, you can just crack on with delivering your services. A project manager will keep everything ticking over and liaise with the rest of your team and clients so that you don’t have to.
6. CONTENT MINING
If you’ve got hours of video and podcast recordings, or courses, you are sitting on a goldmine that you might not have tapped into yet!
Repurposing content that already exists is a fantastic way to use your previous work, but it can be super time consuming and is best done by someone who can see the content from an outside perspective. You should be able to get a whole load of social media captions, blog posts and even freebies from what you already have.
7. VIDEO EDITING
Maybe you’re great on camera but having to watch yourself back leaves you cringing. Or maybe you find it takes so long to edit videos that it almost doesn't seem worth it. Outsource your video editing and save yourself time and cringe and receive a beautifully edited package at the end, ready to put out into the world.
8. CHASING LEADS
If you find yourself wasting a load of time replying to half-interested parties about potentially working together, booking discovery calls or emailing warm leads, this is something you can outsource. You can hire someone to get them to the point that they are ready for a call with you and you’ll only have really warm leads.
9. SENDING AND CHASING INVOICES
Chasing invoices from clients is such a frustrating job! It can also feel quite difficult when it’s a client you love working with, but you deserve to be paid. Hire someone to manage this part of your business to take the pressure off you.
10. EVERYTHING ELSE!
Okay, maybe not everything else, but if there are any jobs you dislike doing, or that sucks your time away from doing the tasks you do love, then hire a VA and send it their way!
Remember what you got into your industry for - probably not admin jobs and boring emails. There is no shame in delegating these to someone else and having more time to perform your actual services.
