If you are an online coach and work wither one to one or in group sessions with your clients, then you will no doubt want to utilise your time and spend it on those tasks that are going to generate you income.
This is where working with a VA that understands the technical side of running an online business can be invaluable.
How do I know if I need a Tech VA?
If you feel overwhelmed with the tech side of your business or you are simply run ragged and know things need to change then it might be worth considering outsourcing some of your work.
Spend a week writing down every single thing you do and how long it takes.
Then batch those items up into similar tasks.
Looking at your batches of tasks, what are the ones that you really don’t like doing, find difficult or you feel take you away from looking after your clients. These are the things you should be outsourcing.
It can be scary from both a financial and a mindset point of view to hand over part of your business to someone else to look after. But once it’s been done, the sense of relief and freedom to focus on the really important tasks will often far outweigh any reticence to outsourcing.
At My Tech VA, we offer a 5 hour starter package to allow both you and us to get to know each other and to work out if this is a positive move forward for you (and us!).
Business Automation for Coaches
Automation is about taking manual systems and using technology to automate it instead. This frees up time and can also make the whole process much more streamlined, providing a more enjoyable experience for you potential customers and customers alike.
There are a lot of areas of the business that you could automate in this way.
Again, look at your business systems and identify those area’s that follow the same process each time without the need for masses of personalisation.
A Tech VA can help you to firstly identify those systems, recommend the tech that can be used and then implement the automation for you.
Once it’s done, it will likely only need to be tweaked on review (which you should be doing at least yearly).
Sales Funnels
Sales funnels are the number one area that we get asked to support coaches with. There are a whole host of different platforms out there, some are all in one and some need to be linked together.
A Tech VA can offer different options for you, often it comes down to cost as all in one solutions are usually more expensive. But then weighing this up against the amount of work involved in setting up and managing that funnel is an exercise that needs to be done.
A sales funnel should seamless take someone from becoming aware of you through to entering your world, usually using a lead magnet and asking people to join your mailing list whereby they receive a sequence of emails that follow on specifically for each lead magnet (or freebie) that you offer.
Once set up, again this should operate with just the odd tweak here and there as you monitor it’s success and look at ways to improve it.
Website Maintenance for Coaches
If you don’t have a website, then it’s likely you will need one as your business grows.
Your website should be an investment for you and not a cost. It’s a place for your audience to get to know you better and get relevant information about your services.
A Tech VA can help you maintain and manage that website long term ensuring that it is technically sound, that it seamlessly integrates with your funnels and sales pages and is regularly updated with new information.
Social Media
A Tech VA can create and schedule out your social media posts across whichever platforms you use.
This involves taking your topics, words and images and creating the assets in something like Canva. Then scheduling the posts out using your tools or directly into the platforms themselves.
We are not video editors but we can also create reels or videos using footage that you have filmed.
This could also involve helping manage a Facebook group, responding to requests for information or offering advice about engagement and how to improve on what you are currently doing.
These are just a few of the different ways a Tech VA can help a coach.
