What is a Virtual Marketing & Admin Team?
A valuable group of human resources to your business or life who works with you over the phone or the Internet. They are real persons who get the job done faster than someone in your location, for less the cost. Why faster? No travel times and less unnecessary meetings. Why cheaper? They use their own technology (computer and phone), you only pay the hours they work, and they are usually based in cities where cost of living is cheaper.
Having a virtual marketing & admin team can positively change your work and life.
But it can cause headaches when you don’t do it right.
These are some facts:

Why a Virtual Team?
|
Here’s Joanna’s story.
“I’m passionate about so many things. I worked as a consultant a couple of years ago clocking in at least 45 hours a week. On the side, I started a passion project called Giving is Social. I really wanted it to get off the ground but there was no way I can manage it while holding a demanding corporate job... |
|
So I watched how successful people do it—they had people working for them. “Maybe I can have someone working for me,” I daydreamed one day.
‘But I’m just an employee!’ I debated with myself. Then I saw the real cost of my time. It didn’t matter that I wasn't a CEO. My time is as valuable as one. |
|
|
So, I looked at my potential costs if I continued trying to do everything on my own—the stress, the time with family and friends I’d lose, and dreams unfulfilled. Then I looked at what I was earning back then. I actually could afford to hire a virtual assistant for a few hours a week!
|
|
2013 was the start of my journey working with virtual assistants.
I’ve created three brands that run on automation and delegation, and I’ve set up a company employing a team of virtual talents including designers, writers, programmers, project managers, researchers, and more. And I’ve assisted people virtually myself to know how it is to be on the other side.” — Joanna Blanding, Founder of The Collective. |
