45 Tasks to Outsource

A Virtual Assistant (VA) or Online Business Manager (OBM) are secret weapons in business. If you want to keep doing the tasks that you love and delegate the rest (like the tasks you don’t like doing!), engaging one is your ULTIMATE SOLUTION.

VAs are no longer just an administrative assistant and many freelancers are also considered a VA as they too work virtually.
