Are you juggling the demands of being a mum with running your online business? If so, you’re probably all too familiar with the overwhelming pace that technology can change with updates and new features being released all the time. From setting up professional email accounts to automating workflows, the world of tech can feel like a labyrinth.
But did you know there is a person called a Tech VA that can help get your Tech in check!
What are the kinds of tasks you could use a tech VA for? Here are five essential tasks tailored just for you, busy mumpreneurs, to outsource to a Tech VA:
1. Email Account Setup
Your inbox shouldn’t be a source of dread but a well-oiled machine that keeps your business running smoothly. Let a Tech VA handle the setup of your professional email account, using your own domain name. Say goodbye to generic email addresses and hello to a personalised touch that boosts your professional image.
My recommendation would be Google Workspace as it allows you to use your domain (@yourbusinessname.com) as your email address but from a Gmail inbox. If you are more familiar with Hotmail/outlook you can do the same with Microsoft 365.
2. Email Marketing Magic
An email list is one of the most valuable assets for online business owners as it is something that you own. However, it’s also one of the main areas of tech that online business owners get bogged down in and often put off getting started with. So these are the perfect tasks to delegate to a Tech VA. This can range from the initial setup and domain authentication to setting up regular campaigns and creating automated workflows that save you time.
I highly recommend Mailerlite if you are just getting started. It’s free for your first 1000 subscribers and integrates with lots of websites, and if you don’t have a website yet you can create a landing page in Mailerlite too.
3. Website Updates
Your website is your digital home. It should always reflect your most current offers and services. But with so many other things to do in your business keeping it updated and optimised for search engines often gets neglected. That’s where a Tech VA comes in. They can take care of regular maintenance, blog updates, and minor tweaks while you focus on serving your clients and spending time with your family.
I specialise in WordPress, a brilliant website-building platform as there is no limit to what you can add to it and what it can do for your business but the flip side is that it needs to be regularly updated to keep it protected and functioning properly.
4. Simplifying Online Checkouts
Running a business means juggling multiple tasks, including processing payments. Say goodbye to manual invoicing and hello to streamlined online checkouts. A Tech VA can set up hassle-free payment systems that integrate seamlessly with your website and email marketing platform.
My online checkout of choice is Thrivecart, offering a user-friendly interface and the flexibility to grow your business, whether you’re selling products or services. It is a one-time lifetime fee so although it is a bigger initial investment you don’t have monthly fees and it also includes an online course platform, Learn.
5. Automating Workflows
As a busy mumpreneur, you’re all about efficiency. A Tech VA can help you automate repetitive tasks and streamline your business workflows. From syncing data between different apps to triggering actions based on specific events, automation frees up your time so you can focus on what truly matters – building meaningful connections with your clients and enjoying quality time with your family.
Zapier is an excellent choice for this task, offering hundreds of options to automate everyday tasks within your business.
