The main mission behind JordanPicks was from foremost to help females in business. I know from a young age that I wanted to help individuals, and this is my way in playing a significant role in helping start up females in their business online.

Are you making an impact in your business?

This is why I wanted to start out my business, connecting with women who are currently making an impact in such an industry.

So you are thinking to yourself how a VA can help you reach those women who are struggling with maybe how to style herself or even how to apply their makeup correctly by their skin tone?

I love offering services where I can assist you to reach those women for you who might find this as a struggle.

This includes me helping you scheduling your social media posts on your social media accounts and also helping with the maintenance of your website.

I know that by doing these tasks you are better able to focus more on helping these women.

4 common misconceptions in the Virtual Assistant industry

12 / 1 / 16 6 / 15 / 18

How are you from the last time you read my blog?

If you are new, welcome to my blog!

As an online business owner, it can become overwhelming for business owners to find and research the right virtual assistant.

Once you have found the right fit, it’s always encouraging to ask in-depth questions, policies and what a VA will and will not do. Here is a link to the most FAQ questions that have already been asked about hiring your first virtual assistant.

But on the other hand, because you might be familiar with working from the 9-5 and transitioning, you might think that a virtual assistant will have the same mindset and work from the same platform that you were in.

Here I have summarized some misconceptions of what a virtual assistant will not do:

Walk your dog
Be on call when your house is a mess
Paint your house
Be your babysitter

I sure hope I got some laughs on some of these things that a VA will not do. But on the serious side of things, I will elaborate some more on some misconceptions in the VA industry and this may spill over into other online industries.

A Virtual Assistant is an employee

So many times, you might think because you are outsourcing for a specific task that you can dictate what is expected and set the hours and payment for the person you are hiring.

This is not the case because a virtual assistant is a home-based, independent contractor, he/she normally sets their prices, their hours to complete a specific task, as well as manage his or her own insurance, as well as taxes.

A Virtual Assistant should provide a Resume’

Now that you are comfortable with finding a VA for your business, you are now at the next stage for hiring and would want a VA to provide his/her Resume.

Remember that because a VA is an independent contractor that the best sorts of reference that a VA will and should always provide are their testimonials from past clients or references.

A Virtual Assistant is a jack-of-all-trades

You have finalized working with a VA and you have explained the tasks that you will need him/her to complete, you have suddenly realized that because your VA is so wonderful they can do this additional task.

There are many VA’s who specialize in many industries, some might be even happy to learn and complete this task for you, but, if not, chances are that a VA will know someone who can complete that task for you.

Please do not ask your VA to do such a task and then penalize him/her with words such as “if you can do this, I will give you additional money” or “testimonial” while this might be great, some VA’s might not specialize in the task that you have outlined so it’s good to find another VA who has the knowledge and expertise of the task that you are outsourcing.

A Virtual Assistant will work on your hours

Although this might be somewhat true in some cases. A virtual assistant might work hourly, set packages and even on retainers, but it’s always best practice to work with those VA’s who can accommodate with working on your schedule.

In some instances, a virtual assistant will set the timeframe for a task to be completed and when to deliver such a task to you.

Now that you have seen some of the misconceptions about the virtual assistant industry, this might be happening in your industry. Feel free to comment on some misconceptions in your industry.

It was nice of you to stop by.

Until then, happy hiring, and best wishes with your business.

Work less and create passive income for your business

11 / 3 / 16 6 / 15 / 18

How are you from the last time you read my blog?

If you are new, welcome to my blog!

You know that as an online business owner, there are times when there will not be any income coming in unless you have long-term, consistent monthly clients. If so, and you know this is not the case for your business; it’s best to create some opportunities for passive income for your business.

Why you need passive income for your business?

You might be asking, what’s this passive income about? It’s the extra income that you use to earn passively when it’s not really your main income. This can be in the form of creating an additional income other than your main source of income.

What you choose to make this passive income is really up to you. I have created my passive income by creating additional courses that will take the form of an e-book or a video tutorial. I can sell this course over and over again without making any effort and that’s one way of creating passive income, without doing anything.

You can create as many options for passive income!

Another main way of creating passive income is through affiliate marketing.

This is actually allowing other persons to purchase a product or service through your unique ID that you sign up with.

Each time someone signs up to buy that product, you earn a percentage of that income and that is actually another way of creating income passively. There are numerous ways that you can think of creating income that you do not need to do much work for. One is teaching a course through a webinar or even a video course. It really depends on what platform works for you and how you want to deliver that work to earn the additional income.

There are numerous ways that you can think of creating income that you do not need to do much work for. One is teaching a course through a webinar or even a video course. It really depends on what platform works for you and how you want to deliver that work to earn the additional income.

But do not limit yourself to those days when you will not be earning any money besides your main source of income. What I normally do on my off days is learn something new as well as creating those PDF guides that I need to use as passive income.

Use blogging as another passive income for your business.

Another income generator is blogging for money. There are numerous sites where you can become a guest and they actually pay you to blog for them. Even online owners need content consistently, so if you are a writer who is passionate about writing one way is to present your written words to your audience. This is another method for you to create income such as blogging for profit.

Another favourite of mine….

One of my favourite platforms is signing up to stock photo sites and this can take the form of affiliate marketing, where you promote their site and allow others to sign up using your unique link. As an online business owner, your individual preference is based on what will work for you and your business at this time.

I am recommending my favourite virtual assistant site to you.

Now I want to recommend a platform that I like to use a lot as a virtual assistant. Why recommend this platform to you? It’s a FREE forum that has a one stop shop for VA related news, services, rates, job board and also how to hire a VA and if not, how to become a VA yourself.

You might also know of someone who can benefit from such services on how to be a VA. I know it did come in handy when I was starting my virtual assistant business online. You can learn so much information and did I mention that they offer FREE resources and information right at your fingertips!

Now that you know that you can make passive income, from using affiliate marketing, blogging for business and signing up with stock photos sites to make extra cash. I hope you do get the rewards that you have worked so hard on.

It was nice of you to stop by.

Until then, happy hiring, and best wishes with your business.
