How I Delegated My Social Media and What Happened Next
One of our clients, Elisa, who is an online coach, used to juggle the demands of her growing business. She was once feeling perpetually stretched thin until she finally decided to relinquish some control and embrace the power of delegation.
Her first step as her business expanded was to tackle the daunting task of social media management, a responsibility that both drained her time and dampened her enthusiasm.
As a busy business owner, there are only so many hours in the day! I quickly realized that if I wanted to scale my business, I would need to start delegating some of my tasks to others.
I decided to start with my social media because it was something that I didn't necessarily enjoy and it was taking up a lot of my time.
I hired two virtual social media managers from Outsmart Social to help me with my social media. One VA manages my Instagram account and the other manages my Facebook page. I was really hesitant at first to hand over the keys to my social media accounts but after seeing the results, I am a total convert!
Not only has delegating freed up more of my time, but it has also helped me grow my reach and engagement.
Why You Should Hire a Virtual Assistant for Your Social Media
If you're still on the fence about hiring a virtual assistant (VA) for your social media, let us share with you some of the reasons it's a great idea!
1. A VA can help you save time.
Social media can be very time-consuming, especially if you're trying to post regularly and grow your following.
If you hire a VA to manage your social media, you can free up some of your time so that you can focus on other areas of your business.
2. A VA can help you grow your reach and engagement.
When you delegate your social media to a VA, they can help you grow your following and engagement by implementing strategies that they likely wouldn't have thought of if they weren't managing your accounts full-time.
3. A VA can help you create consistent content.
One of the most important aspects of social media is consistency. If you're not consistent with your content, people are less likely to follow or engage with you.
When you hire a VA, they can help make sure that your content is always being published on time so that you don't have to worry about it!
4. A VA can help take some of the stress off of you.
Social media can be stressful, especially if you're trying to do it all yourself! If you hire a VA, they will be responsible for managing your accounts which means that you won't have to worry about it as much.
This can help reduce your stress levels and give you more peace of mind knowing that someone else is taking care of things for you.
5. A VA can bring their own ideas and creativity to the table.
When you hire a VA, they will likely have their own ideas about how to grow and improve your social media presence.
They may even have some creativity when it comes to creating content which can help take your social media game up a notch!
If you're still on the fence about whether or not hiring a virtual assistant is right for you, hopefully this blog post has helped convince you!
