Do you find yourself without any time for yourself or family because you ALWAYS have work to do? Well, I have the solution for you. Hire a Virtual Assistant. Maybe you’re saying ‘What, Who?’ There is lots of talk about a Virtual Assistant these days, but what is a virtual assistant and why would you even think about getting one?

My name is Susanna Culbertson and I own CEO’s Virtual Assistant. I am here to answer your questions, give you some tips on things like marketing, organization, etc. So let’s start by answering what is a Virtual Assistant. Well, the answer is quite simple actually. A Virtual Assistant is someone whom you contract with to do work for you. As a virtual assistant I do things such as Telephone Answering Service, Data Entry, Marketing, Email management, Blog management, etc. Basically it would be like you hiring an assistant that would work there with you in your office, but I don’t actually work there in your office. Instead we would communicate by email, phone, fax, Instant Messaging, etc.

You might ask yourself why I would hire a Virtual Assistant instead of an employee. Well, first and foremost you might not need a full or even part-time employee. Instead you might just have a project once or twice a month that you need help with, or maybe you just need someone to help you get caught up on the work you have now. The really nice thing about hiring a Virtual Assistant is that you only pay for the work that is done. You won’t pay for a certain amount of hours per week, just for the amount of time it takes to get your project or work for the week done.

Ok, how about pay? Well, to be honest it depends on what type of work you need done, if you need a rush job done, and how much work you will need done on a monthly basis. There are many factors that can determine the cost that you will pay. However, when you find out the cost you need to remember that Virtual Assistants get paid more per hour because we pay for all our own supplies, equipment, medical insurance, etc. All of these things that you would have to pay for an employee are actually paid by us, even our own taxes.

We have a chart that might help you see the cost of an employee versus the cost of a Virtual Assistant.

Average cost per hour for CEO’s Virtual Assistant is $25
