Now you\u2019re ready for the next steps!<\/p>\n<p><em>Time for the nitty gritty.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Hiring your VA<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Where do you hire them from?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are several ways and several places. You can ask your friends if they have someone they like and trust.<\/p>\n<p>You can use a website &#8212; and I\u2019ll list a few below under the resource section &#8212; but my favorite and the one I use is <a href=\"https:\/\/talent.hubstaff.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hubstaff Talent<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There are several reasons why this is my favorite site. It\u2019s FREE. You post a job and get a list of applicants. You\u2019re able to look at each one and check out their portfolio on the bottom right or ask them direct questions about the job. Sometimes it\u2019s easier to weed out the people who take the time to fill this part out. I don\u2019t ask anything too time consuming or complicated.<\/p>\n<p>Then you can email them directly. And did I mention they\u2019re free?<\/p>\n<p>One thing, for me in hiring was cost.<\/p>\n<p>I knew what I could afford and offered that price per hour, starting at $3 per hour. It\u2019s low but there are plenty of people in other countries that can work for the price I can afford to pay and I\u2019ve since given my VA\u2019s raises.<\/p>\n<p>When I first get a list of applicants I speak to some people over email and when I find one I like, I Skype them.<\/p>\n<p>If I still like them and think they will do a good job professionally, I hire them on a trial basis to see if we work well together.<\/p>\n<p>A mentor, Jen Lehner gave two VAs the same project to complete and then picked the person who was faster (he was a lot faster).<\/p>\n<p>On Hubstaff Talent you can post the job you\u2019re looking for (this is what I did) or you can look for applicants and invite them to your job (after you\u2019ve posted one). You can scroll down on the main page and even choose by country if you want.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tracking your VA\u2019s time and Paying them<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For this I use <a href=\"http:\/\/ssqt.co\/m5cZKW6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hubstaff<\/a> and I love it. There\u2019s a monthly fee which starts at $30 for 3 employees or less. It tracks your employees time and even <a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/va.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18142 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/va.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"178\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/va.jpg 178w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/va-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/va-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 178px) 100vw, 178px\" \/><\/a>takes screenshots so you can check and make sure they\u2019re doing what they\u2019re supposed to be doing.<\/p>\n<p>Funny story &#8212; I\u2019m an eternal optimist but I\u2019m also a realist, and I just assumed that at one point I\u2019d find someone watching porn. But honestly it was my worst case scenario that I was \u201csure\u201d would never happen. Except that it did. For real! It wasn\u2019t my VA though, it was someone else who had access to her computer but that was a fun conversation. Not!<\/p>\n<p>Most recently one of my VAs had logged idle time and I had to tell her she probably forgot to turn off the timer. The good thing is that you can delete this time from the hours they worked.<\/p>\n<p>You can also limit the number of hours they work per week, log multiple projects (to keep track) and if they use Paypal, you can pay them automatically through Hubstaff. I don\u2019t do this as I like to see what they\u2019re doing, before I pay them!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Training<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>I use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.useloom.com\/?ref=274519\">loom<\/a>, which is fantastic!<\/strong> And it\u2019s FREE!<\/p>\n<p>Loom records your voice and your desktop. I turn the camera off, but you can record yourself talking in the corner too if you want.<\/p>\n<p>What I did before hiring my first VA is I recorded the tasks I wanted to hand off. I had to do them anyway, so I just talked my way through them for the VA. Then you get a link that you share with them. They watch the video and go to work.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Sharing your sensitive details<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastpass.com\">LastPass<\/a> is where you store your passwords and login information, but it\u2019s invisible to everyone else. You then share each specific login with your VA.<\/p>\n<p>For example, I have a VA working on my social media. So she logs in to LastPass and accesses my Twitter or Facebook through their site. She doesn\u2019t see my password or have access to it.<\/p>\n<p>If we stop working together, I simply remove her from the share.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastpass.com\/pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LastPass has a FREE version<\/a> but I pay $24 a year for the premium version.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Connecting with\/Talking to your VA (for project management and collaboration)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skype.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Skype<\/a> for the 4 VAs I have. It\u2019s on my phone and computer, and it\u2019s how we communicate (through IM for free).<\/p>\n<p>I make sure they know to charge me (login to Hubstaff) for the Skyping time.<\/p>\n<p>I also use <a href=\"https:\/\/trello.com\/\">Trello<\/a> which is FREE. And I have a Trello board for each of my VAs with a list of what I want them to do. We communicate that way daily and I put my loom videos there and a lot of pics\/graphics.<\/p>\n<p>I also use shared <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google docs<\/a> to track specific things that need an Excel spreadsheet type layout for another business.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, you can use <a href=\"https:\/\/slack.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Slack<\/a>, which is also FREE! I love Slack and use it for other projects. With <a href=\"https:\/\/slack.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Slack<\/a> you can IM real time, add pics, videos and files.<\/p>\n<p>You just have to experiment and find out which one (or ones) works best for you.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><u>All the resources are here<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Hiring your VA:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/talent.hubstaff.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hubstaff Talent:<\/a>\u00a0this is what I use and love.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.upwork.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Upwork:<\/a>\u00a0Upwork has screen capture and you can pay your VAs through it as well, I found the hourly rates to be much higher and I personally couldn\u2019t afford it but I know several people who have found affordable VAs here.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinejobs.ph\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Online Jobs<\/a> (Philappeano VAs only):\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/InTheFrontRow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jen Lehner<\/a> loves this site and found her amazing VAs here but it\u2019s $50 per month.
