Personal Assistant

How much of your workday is taken up by tasks? Those tasks aren't money-makers or the best use of your time, but they must be done to keep things running smoothly. If you added up all those weekly tasks, they'd take up a significant chunk of your time.

Now, imagine if you could hand those tasks over to someone else! You'd have extra time and mental energy to focus on the things to help grow your business, like writing your next book!

That's what a PA can do for you. In as little as 5 hours a week, your assistant can expertly and efficiently manage various jobs.

Not sure what to start delegating? Check out the examples below for motivation:

Admin

It is no secret that admin takes valuable time out of your day. And the tasks are notoriously mundane!

So, why not get support? Things like updating your backmatter in your eBooks or uploading your entire catalog to a retailer now that you've decided to publish wide. Trust me. We get it. These are the tasks that no one wants.

Content Marketing And Management

Marketing is an essential ongoing task for your business, but it can soak up a lot of your focus and time. Your assistant can take care of a wide range of marketing-related tasks. That includes designing teasers, pulling quotes, formatting, uploading and scheduling blogs or social media posts, responding to comments and messages on your social media platforms, and tracking and reviewing your analytics. 

Not only will this save you precious hours in your week, but knowing that your PA is posting content keeps you on task and consistent!

Email Support

Did you know that every time you stop what you're doing to look at an email, it takes you around 23 minutes to get back into the flow and focus? If you're constantly getting interrupted by email notifications, that's a massive drain on productivity.

Your PA can help you automate and filter your emails so you only see the most pressing ones, and the others can be dealt with at a designated time during the day. They can also reply to general inquiries, organize your inbox, and manage your email marketing campaigns.

Business Development

Want to know who your top competitors are in your genre? Perhaps you'd like a list of influencers, bloggers, Booktokers, or Bookstagramers to approach? Or the email addresses of some great connections you should network or collaborate with for your next cross-promotion, box set, or shared world.

We're great researchers. Give us an hour, and we can develop some valuable insights to help grow your publishing business.

Imagine what you could achieve with this valuable information! More sales, more readers, the opportunity to refine your strategy, or more visibility for your brand.

How Much Time Can Your Assistant Save You?

The answer is as much as you need them to! Five hours a week is a fantastic place to start if you're just dipping your toes in the water. That's plenty of time for your assistant to handle various tasks and take them off your never-ending to-do list. 

And you'll have five extra hours a week to devote to high-value activities. If you'd like to know more about how we can support you with a Virtual Assistant, get in touch today.
