And that was my immediate goal.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I needed three virtual assistants, for three different jobs. If you think you can\u2019t afford it \u2013 think again!<\/p>\n<p>The first person I hired for $3 per hour. And though she only works 5-8 hours a week, I now have those 8 hours a week of my life back!<\/p>\n<p><strong>However, you can spend whatever amount works for you.<\/strong> You can hire someone from anywhere in the world \u2013 which I\u2019ll talk more about in part 2 next month.<\/p>\n<p>I<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-17915\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/hannah-wei-84051-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/hannah-wei-84051-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/hannah-wei-84051-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/hannah-wei-84051-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>\u00a0was talking to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/rachaelherron.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rachael Herron<\/a> about this the other day, yes a plug for an amazing woman, and her question to me was \u201cWhat would I use a virtual assistant for?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the focus of the first blog in this two- blog series.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What would I use a virtual assistant for?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ask yourself: What do I do on a regular basis that I cannot bill for? And among those things, if I made the time, what could I train someone else to do?<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an example: You\u2019re a doctor and the only time you earn $$$ (can bill and get paid) is when you\u2019re actually seeing a patient. That\u2019s the only time you\u2019re getting PAID for.<\/p>\n<p>Everything else is non-billable hours. This may include billing insurance companies, writing up patient treatment plans, inputting patient\u2019s information, scheduling, reminding patients of their appointments, etc.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a full-time writer, earning your living from your writing, this would include anything you do that\u2019s not writing or editing.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Make a List<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>So, I recommend you make a list of everything that you\u2019re doing that is not making you money, any non-billable hours. Then on that list, look at which tasks can be done by someone else.<\/p>\n<p>As an example, my list is this: Data entry, social media maintenance, graphic art design, and most recently, client phone calls and scheduling.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re like me, this list sounds daunting and overwhelming. How do I do delegate?<\/p>\n<p>Well, there\u2019s a step-by-step process that I learned from an amazing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/InTheFrontRow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jen Lehner<\/a> webinar\/class. (And no, I don\u2019t earn anything for recommending her class so you know I have no ulterior motives).<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to lay out a simplified process, but I do recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontrowvip.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">her class<\/a> for in-depth information.<\/p>\n<p>Your first step is to make that list and put everything on it. You don\u2019t have to offload every single thing, especially at once, but do list everything so you can look at all of it objectively.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The #1 most important thing<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>The next step is to decide what the #1 most important thing to offload will be.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>STEP ONE<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The way I picked out what to do first is by looking at what I hated doing the most, which also happened to be the most time consuming.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking about training someone can be daunting. I believed, \u201cIt will take me longer to train them than to do it myself.\u201d For that I want to give you something you can do right now to prepare.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>STEP TWO<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s an awesome FREE program: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.useloom.com\/?ref=274519\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Loom<\/a>. You can use Loom to record your desktop and your voice. I recommend that the next time you are performing a task you are considering offloading that you tape it with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.useloom.com\/?ref=274519\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Loom<\/a> and label it. It\u2019s super easy and takes no extra time at all to do! That\u2019s step two. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong>So now go make your list and remember to record when you\u2019re performing those tasks yourself!<\/strong> Then check back in next month for the rest of the steps!<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<h2>ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chloeadler.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"http:\/\/www.ChloeAdler.com noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-16146\" title=\"Chloe Adler image for Launching as a First Time \/ Debut Author, One Author\u2019s Experience by Chloe Adler, Spicy Romance with a bite\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Chloe-Face-300x300.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Chloe-Face-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Chloe-Face-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Chloe-Face-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Chloe-Face.jpg 512w\" alt=\"Chloe Adler image for Launching as a First Time \/ Debut Author, One Author\u2019s Experience by Chloe Adler, Spicy Romance with a bite\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" \/><\/a>For the past undisclosed amount of years, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chloeadler.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chloe Adler<\/a>\u00a0has thoroughly bucked the system.
