WHAT HOURS DO VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS WORK?

Every VA is different but here is how I work with you!

Before setting up my Virtual Assistant business, I did a lot of research into all areas of the role including working hours. I quickly learned, that being your own boss meant you had the freedom to work the hours that you wish, of course the more hours you work the better pay off! 

But after scrolling through numerous VA mentor and VA websites I found a variety of different working styles and compiled them together to work out which practices I would take into my own business and here they are;

Project Work...

The first style of work I wanted to offer to my clients was project work. This simply means working through the lifespan of a clients project.

Typically clients who have large projects such as website creation, rebranding or social media launches will opt for this working style.

Regular Hours...

This is my most popular working style with clients, as they secure a contracted amount of hours for me to work over a week/month which allows they to dedicate tasks to work on. 

Tasks can vary each month and I usually find this style is a great way to help clients through their to do list. In the past I have worked on social media management to general research and even content writing for blog posts.

As and When...

As a Virtual Assistant I wanted to offer as much flexibility as I could for my clients, I understood that not everyone would need my support each and every month. That is why I opted for an "As and When" working style. 

This really does help my Shropshire clients on those one of tasks such as small project design work and also over their busy periods such as Summer holidays, Christmas and Easter too. 

Life as a business owner shouldn't be too stressful, so if a bit of outsourcing work can take off some of the pressure, then why wouldn't you?!

This leads me on very nicely to my own working hours, obviously as a VA my focus is on my client work. To begin with I found it very difficult and at times stressful trying to juggle my clients work with my own. Advertising, social media content, blog writing, networking, engaging online, sorting invoices and accounts, the list is ENDLESS! 

After some trial and error, I found that dedicating my time Monday to Friday to my clients allowed me to focus fully on the tasks that needed to be complete and gave me the flexibility of the weekend to focus on elements of my own business or take time out to "chill".

Hopefully, this post has provided more clarity on my working styles. I would love to know which style you would opt for if you were to work with me.

With love,
