As an equine business owner, are you constantly drowning under the tasks that need to be done? Do you want more time spent in the barn and less in the barn office?
Wouldn’t it be cool if someone could do all of the office work for you so you can focus on the more enjoyable parts of your business?
Virtual Assistants help business owners over the computer from anywhere in the world. Like any profession, some are excellent, others aren’t.
First, let’s talk about what types of things a Virtual Assistant can help you with:
What are Virtual Assistants?
Virtual Assistants are people who work remotely from a computer. This allows assistance from a distance. They come in a variety of skill sets. They help with bookkeeping, writing content, social media, website building, project management and so much more!
Saving Money
You can connect with the most skilled individuals while only paying for the time it takes them to complete a task. Also, you don’t have to worry about paying benefits and social security.
What Can They do for Your Equine Business?
-
Website Building
Unless you have the time and are willing to study into it, this is something best left to the pros. Many Virtual Assistants pride themselves on building modern, attractive and easy to navigate websites so you can look professional online.
-
Bookkeeping
Do you have a brain for numbers? I certainly don’t! Thankfully, there are virtual assistants who can organize our bank records for us. Even if you’re a genius with numbers, a virtual assistant can still save you time so you can focus on the services/ products you provide.
-
Content Marketing
Marketing is important to spread your name and the driving ideas of your business to people looking for the solutions you provide. Some equine business owners just don’t have time for this, don’t know how to do it or have tried it a few times and given up for lack of results.
When you get a virtual assistant who knows how to utilize SEO, quality writing and effective distribution of content, you’ll see increases in clientele.
-
Planning
Virtual Assistants can save you time by booking venues, lodging, stabling, and transportation, so you have time to focus on your event. They can also help plan shows and events to be held at your facility.
-
Online Store Set-up
If your equine business sells things on a website, a virtual assistant can help you set up an online shopping cart.
-
Computer Fixing/ Maintainance
In fact, there are even VA’s who do virtual computer maintenance to make sure your machine runs smoothly and all the data gets backed up. If you can imagine it, a VA can probably do it.
