I'm considering using a Virtual Assistant

[Trevor Asay]

Does anyone use a virtual assistant? My main questions are:

1. How can I easily give access to passwords? (I use a ton of online tools)
2. How can I pay them?
3. Has anyone had any luck with any of the services? 

Thanks,

Trevor

On our team, we have an Admin VA, and a VA who does skip tracing.

Most ppl will talk about going to some type of an online platform (UpWork) to hire your VAs, but you should try to find VAs outside of that for a few reasons. (we found ours by posting on the Philippines' Craig's List)  

- Although the talent pool is good at places like UpWork, I found that a lot of VAs you hire, once they get a better paying assignment, at times will drop you without even a word, so you end up spending a decent amount of upfront time training them, only to start the process all over again. They have more of a "consultant," or self-employed mindset.

- When you post directly in the country you're seeking help from, most people responding are just looking for steady work; "E" quadrant. 

- They can keep more of the pay you give them (we pay via PayPal). 

- Caveat to all this is that, you still have to have a filtering process; [i.e. test them on various tasks required for the job, have instructional videos so once hired, they can just watch the video(s), have bonus structure to incentivize, etc]
