As a digital marketing agency owner, your time is valuable. Every minute you spend on tasks that aren’t directly related to growing your business is a missed opportunity. That’s where virtual assistants (VAs) come in. But with so many tasks to juggle, it can be difficult to decide what to outsource and what to do yourself.
Let’s take a look at five tasks that you may want to outsource to VAs, with tips from our white label social media, website, design, and virtual assistant team.
Scheduling
Scheduling can be a time-consuming task, especially if you’re juggling multiple meetings, appointments, and deadlines. If you find yourself spending a significant amount of time scheduling meetings or coordinating with clients, a VA can free up your time to focus on more strategic tasks.
If you prefer to have complete control over your schedule or if you have a complex calendar that requires specialised knowledge, you may want to handle scheduling yourself.
Travel Arrangements
If you spend a lot of time researching and booking travel arrangements, a VA can save you time and hassle. But if you prefer to handle your own travel arrangements or if you have specific travel preferences that are difficult to communicate to a VA, you may want to do it yourself.

Answering Emails
Email management can be a major time suck for digital marketing agency owners. If you spend hours each day responding to emails, a VA can help you sort through your inbox, respond to non-urgent emails, and delegate tasks to other team members.
If you prefer to handle all of your own email correspondence or if you need to respond to highly sensitive or confidential emails, you may want to keep DIYing it.
Preparing the Groundwork
Tasks like creating title pages, tables of contents, or presentation outlines can be time-consuming but essential for setting the stage for larger projects.
If you spend hours on these tasks, a VA can help you streamline your workflow. If you prefer to have complete control over the presentation of your work or if you have specific formatting requirements, you may want to keep it on your own to-do list.
Once you have determined what a VA could do to save you time and headspace, outsource virtual assistant recruitment services to us. We can also help you with white label social media services, white label copywriting, and more.
