How you are going keeping up with your social media presence for your business?

There are so many platforms now that it feels almost impossible to be consistently present on all of them. And even if you can post daily on all platforms, is it really helping to grow your business and make more sales?

I spend a lot of time on social media, particularly on TikTok and Instagram - as a consumer. I love watching the trends pop up and seeing how creative people are.

But while I can easily spend a couple of hours scrolling through TikTok, I’m not as eager to spend the same amount of time posting there. And I’m not interested in creating flashy and time-consuming content.

So I don’t! And you don’t have to either.

I like to share something helpful, chat with people, and then move on with my day. So I’ve set up my socials and my systems to do a lot of the heavy lifting for me in terms of list growth and sales, and that frees me up to just ENJOY my time on social media, not feel pressured by it.

Today I thought I’d run you through what that looks like in case you find it helpful and want to set up something similar for your business!

Being a business owner often means wearing multiple hats and juggling multiple tasks all by yourself. You want to do it all because you’re very conscious of your budget and need to be able to afford to run your business as it grows. But once you start to see consistent sales and cash flow, you get even busier managing your deliverables, and your business growth should not come at the expense of your efficiency or your personal wellbeing.

When that momentum starts to build - that’s when you need to hire help, and a Virtual Assistant (or VA) is the ideal place to start!

Your VA can take care of so many business tasks, freeing you up to focus on the core activities that really need you - your face, your experience, your personality. But many entrepreneurs, particularly those in the first few years of running their business, find the process of finding and hiring a VA a bit too overwhelming, and as a result tend to put it off and struggle on by themselves (often burning out in the process!)

Where do you begin when looking for a VA? What should you look for in terms of their skills? How do you ensure they align with your business values and needs?

My guest today one half of an incredible team that specialises in helping business owners find the perfect VA, and helping VAs establish their virtual assistant business so that the client & VA relationship can be the perfect match! They help people demystify the process, providing clear, actionable insights to seamlessly integrate a VA into the business, ensuring that it’s not just another task to check off your to do list, but a strategic move towards sustainable growth and work-life balance.

Founded in February 2019, the Newcastle Virtual Assistants is the brainchild of Adrienne Donnelly and Jane Ekholm.

They are passionate about the Virtual Assistant industry in Australia and provide a space for their members to thrive, offering them mentoring, resources, guidance, connection, and learning opportunities.

They not only act as a conduit between business owners and local Virtual Assistants through education and matchmaking, they also work with industry partners to continue to raise the profile and ensure the quality of the VA industry in our community, and beyond.

Adrienne and Jane have helped more than 40 business owners find a VA through their matchmaking service, and they’re looking forward to helping even more people in the business community! They understand that business owners put off the search because they are time poor, and that is how they can help.

Tune in as Adrienne and I chat about one of the common pain points for business owners when it comes to the search for a VA, how a matchmaking service can help that pain point, some success stories of people they have helped, and how their matchmaking service came to life!
