Episode 75 - Focus Friday - What You Need To Know About Hiring a VA

The Subscription Box Show

If this is your first ever Focus Friday, this is the solo show of the week where we tackle different aspects of your subscription box business.
Today I want to talk about hiring some help, possibly your first employee. Specifically, VA’s!

Over the last few Focus Friday’s, we’ve been talking about overwhelm. On this episode we are going to give you one option that can help that, and that is going out and hiring help. The exciting possibility of hiring your first employee. Whether virtual or in person. But I will focus on VA’s today as it is something we utilize and love in our businesses.
You might be asking yourself a number of questions right now:

• When should I start using a VA?
• Can I afford a VA?
• Do I really need one?
• How do you find a good reputable VA?
• How much do they cost?
• How do you actually pay them?
• What platforms are the best ones found on?
• Best methods to communicate?
• What can I use them for?
• Do’s and don’ts and etiquette with your VA

Ok, I’m going to attempt to cover all of these with my life experiences with VA’s, and feel free to start the VA drinking game, it is friday after all!lol I am going to be saying VA a lot!
