Is your business on social media? If you are not, you are missing out on a HUGE opportunity. Having a presence on social media holds many benefits for your business.

Social media is a free source of advertising. It costs nothing to open a page for your business on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, or Pinterest. These social networks are a great way to promote your business and are fairly easy to set up.

Some believe the word “outsource” has a negative cogitation. But, what it really boils down to is whether you have the time or money to complete a task. This is true in our personal and professional lives. We could all paint our houses, but a professional can probably do it better and more efficiently. Hiring an independent contractor to support your small business can help you run more efficiently.

No matter if you are a baker, landscaper, restaurant owner, or HVAC technician, you are more than likely working with a full plate. Your day-to-day operations, ordering supplies, paying bills, supervising employees, managing customers and selling your products and services can take up the majority of your time.

This is where a virtual assistant (VA) or online business manager (OBM) can help support your efforts.
