Today we’re gonna cover how I find cheap virtual assistance to run my eCommerce business… And how you can too.
Outsourcing is the single most important thing I did, in order to scale my drop shipping business.
But what will cover in today’s video doesn’t just apply to e-commerce businesses. It’s applicable to every business.
Oh, if you can profitability outsource certain aspects within your business, you can buy back your time, avoid burn out, and give yourself more freedom to innovate and stress test it.
And this added time is crucial. Because if you’re not finding the weaknesses in your business and improving them…. Then it’s just a matter of time until your competitors surpass you.
And by freeing up your time on tasks that might be vital, but don’t need to be performed by you. Specifically, you can then spend that time researching new frontiers, and attempting to innovate…. Which will give you the potential to lead the space and not simply compete for a small portion of the pie.
So then, how do you outsource and what are some examples of things that you can outsource profitably?
My simple formula is…
1. first identify what parts of your business you CANNOT outsource. Those are things are going to continue to need to do yourself.
2. Secondly, identify what parts of your business you can, automate, systematize, or outsource. You don’t wanna make the mistake of outsourcing all of these at once though. Instead, pick the lowest hanging fruit and start there. You can always outsource more tasks later… and managing employees (even VA’s) is a different skill set you’ll need to learn too. So I recommend for Maxximum efficiency, you do this slowly in the beginning.
3. Next, you need to figure out where you want to hire from. You can find good VA’s in Facebook groups around that topic/skill…. Or sites like Fiverr, freelancer, and upwork. Although my personal favorite is onlinejobs.ph…. You can find high-quality VA is here to do just about anything… and hire them for as little as $2/hr.
4. When you’ve identified a specific task/skill you want to outsource, the next step is to create a job posting and summarize exactly what you’re looking for. Then qualified people respond with a short blurb about why they think they’re a good fit and a copy of the résumé.
5. The next thing you need to do is train them. An easy way to do. This is to simply create a screen recording of exactly what you want them to do step-by-step. If you can build a step by step system, you can hire pretty much anyone and then train them to implement that system. When are you decide on somebody that you think is a good fit, do you want to test them first on a small scale. And then if they seem like a good fit, and they understand what you need, you can bring them on full-time.
6. You also wanna make sure you can communicate with and pay your VA is easily. I can’t recommend WhatsApp enough for communication. It’s simple to use and it’s free as long as you have Wi-Fi. For paying your VA’s, PayPal obviously works great… or you can use Western Union. I’ve used them both a lot and they both are trustworthy and work well.
7. Some examples of things that I’ve outsourced our listing on pretty much every website, product, research, order, fulfillment, video, editing, graphic design for Etsy, print on demand products, customer service, and the list goes on and on.
Like I said before, learning how to outsource profitably is advantageous for any business (not just e-commerce).
Although my experiences any commerce. That’s why those are the examples I’m giving you.
I can still remember when the switch flipped for me last year and I finally decided to hire my first VA.
It was easily one of the best decisions Ive made as an entrepreneur.

[@jchavez0126]

Great Value as always bro! A good idea idea would be best credit cards for Dropshipping 👍🏽. I can just imagine how much of a credit line you must have a one card or a whole bunch to fund all orders, softwares, VA’s!

[@BryanGuerratv]

Thanks man, appreciate the feedback! I could certainly make a video like that in the future...but to be honest it's the main ones I've recommended for years. 1)amazon store card (5% cashback on all purchases), 2) walmart store card (5% cashback on all purchases), ebay store card (5% cashback on all purchases), home depot store card (5% cashback on all purchases), etc... basically all store cards that give 5% for purchases their I'll use if I purchase from there frequently. And I used to recommend specific credit cards, but honestly now I just use my business debit card lol. I find it's soooo much easier to manage all those transactions and cashflow on one card and when the $ is directly taken from my bank account. I used to use like 20 different cards and it was a nighttttmareee lol. Debit cards are simple, but effective. I would say if you're scaled up to any significant level there's intelligence in just keeping it simple. Unless you're using somewhere that offers 5% on a store card where it's a no brainer. Hope that helps!

I kinda had this life. Had some stakeholder glitches and lost all my rev and my 10 va's. Back to the one-man grind for now. I have watched your vids on bulk listing to marketplace and shops. I still can't figure out how to do it that fast. I can't seem to get the 150 listed in a few hours to save my life. Amazon, yes. Because it pulls the descp and sku. But for walmart/ebay/any other supplier you have to manually copy descp and edit everything. I just can't see how that can be done in 10-20 seconds. I have tried batching, and all your tips, and they do help for sure. I am focused and super quick with the mouse as well.I couldn't get the pixel to work facebook and shopify support is useless and they want me to manually add in microdata code for each item on the website. Not worth it. I am using flexily now though and it seems to be working just as well as if I would have gotten the pixel to work. My idea is to list the 150 to marketplace everyday, then push that to Shopify and then those will automatically upload to shops through the flexily feed link. Any other ideas/tips for speed listing to marketplace? I know you can't beat vas, but I just need to get my rev back up and I can hire them back. It would help so much with having time to do amz, etsy, etc. Thanks for the help as always.

[@BryanGuerratv]

Honestly, that sounds like a pretty solid idea to me. I would just say consistency over time will win for you in the end no matter how you're doing it. It seems like you have a decent system in place, which is smart. And when revenue hopefully spikes back up for you (especially 2023 on shops I think - when they start charging the 5% fee), then you can scale your VA team back up. Glad the videos are helping though! And appreciate the feedback man!

[@MK-fi4iz]

Hi Bryan, thank you for a very informative video. I wanted to find out from you about how you handle paying for your orders when making orders on the suppliers website. Do you give this task to your VAs as well, and if so, do you give them your credit card numbers to use to pay for the orders, or how do you do this so you don't compromise your payment information with your VAs?

[@BryanGuerratv]

Yes I have a VA that processes orders. I have my cards preloaded into each website (and PayPal) already. That way they only have to click which card to use or select PayPal. The most they’ll have to ever do is input the 3 digit code which they know from website to website….but I don’t ever give them any other card information. Hope that helps!

[@MK-fi4iz]

@@BryanGuerratv Thank you so much for this information. Can you please clarify a little on the PayPal payment method. Do you give them your PayPal credentials to be able to make payment using the PayPal payment option?

[@BryanGuerratv]

@@MK-fi4iz Paypal is already logged in on most merchants. They just need to choose it and then select the payment choice within paypal. Once you log in and use paypal on a site/account...it should stay that way for the next orders. If randomly it logs back out then they'll tell me and I'll sign into it myself for them, but that doesn't happen often. I don't give them my password or card info or anything like that

Thanks Bryan. I'm wondering whether your va screw things up? how do you deal with that?

[@BryanGuerratv]

Not much honestly. It does happen from time to time. I train them to use software most of the time so they’re just managing software that’s doing most of the work. Give them small tasks until you’re comfortable with them and then start testing them on more important tasks to see how they perform
