Many business owners claim they need a virtual assistant but they do not have “anything to outsource,” therefore they end up in the same work cycle as they did when they set up their business. Some business owners have been doing way too much work on their own but there comes a point where you cannot keep growing because there are not any more hours in the day.
Virtual assistants are in-demand as administrative experts but virtual assistants evolved more than as administrative assistants or remote secretaries. Many virtual assistants have a niche down to specific expertise such as data entry, customer support, digital marketing, tech support, e-commerce, graphic design, video production, and internet research.
Now let us focus on the virtual assistant researcher.
What is a virtual assistant researcher?
Carrying out market research is one area where business owners could all use some help to maximize their marketing efforts. Good research is important in every field. However, if you own a small business, you know that research goes much further than that. The quality of your research will affect the quality of your marketing, as well as your ability to help customers and the value of the information your business provides.
Hiring a talented virtual assistant researcher and teaching them how to perform their job properly is always an option. To aid with research, you may choose to employ a virtual assistant. A virtual assistant, or VA, may be able to fill in the blanks in your work and perform overlooked key aspects of the previous research. They will be able to aid you in locating data, articles, and other material that you have previously struggled to get on your own.
In many circumstances, hiring a virtual assistant to assist you with your research can improve your marketing efforts results. By enlisting the support of a virtual assistant, you may save time while also improving the quality of your research.
Research, like everything else, is a skill and expertise that you have to learn and relearn. You may think, “yes I can study research” but do you have the time and energy for it?
If you think your research skills are not up to par, there is even more good news for you. You can use the skills of a virtual assistant. It does not have to be just research that you do. A virtual assistant can add their skills to the mix. They can get to resources and tools you didn’t know were there, so they can help you.
Here are some of the common research tasks you can delegate to your VA:
Data Analysis
This is where a virtual assistant’s true knowledge and expertise come into play. It is one thing to look at a spreadsheet, but it’s quite another to actually do anything with it. Interpreting data, on the other hand, is a distinct skill set—and one that you do not necessarily have time to master.
Focused Research
There are a lot of virtual assistants out there, but which one will be able to help you in your industry? Without that kind of experience, they may not even be able to understand the questions you ask, let alone answer them. Hire a VA who has the experience and expertise in your field.
Data Entry
In research, it has been found that the quality of data entry depends on how well the person who is in charge of it is at their job. A qualified and accurate VA is needed for the task.
Investigative Research
You may not always have time to seek out and conduct interviews. Alternatively, you may use Google to look for updated information on a person.
Competition Research
Research and look at where your competitors are. This is one of the most important ways to figure out where your business is at. Have your VAs run reports on the competition, gathering as much relevant data as they can. This will give you a picture of your current market and help you decide what to do next.
Report Compilation and Organization
Suppose your VA helped you set up Google Analytics. A virtual assistant can help with collecting data. A virtual assistant can write a report based on the data provided and write down their findings and conclusions.
Research Resources Options
Do you need a new coffee maker for your workplace? Which one is the most effective? Do you want to find new tools to help you manage your email? Outsource this research to a virtual assistant, and have them publish the costs and features for your best options.
Obtaining Statistics
Let us imagine you hire a virtual assistant to help you produce material, but they’re lacking in the “source” area. Allow an expert VA to manage the sourcing of different statistics so that your viewers never have to question where you got your information.
