The first five tasks to hand off
Start with work that repeats every week and needs no judgement: inbox triage, calendar scheduling, invoice follow-ups, data entry, and meeting notes.
If a task happens more than twice a week and has a clear finish line, it is a candidate. Do not start with strategy. Start with volume.
What a $10/hour VA actually covers
Hourly support does not mean junior-only work. The rate covers admin, ad operations, automation builds, lead research, and website updates, because the same person runs all of it inside your tools.
What changes is the hours, not the scope. You pay for time used, and unused hours roll over to the next month.
How to brief a task so it comes back right
Give the outcome, not the steps. Say what done looks like, who it is for, and the deadline.
Attach one example of a good result. Tasks that come back wrong are usually tasks that were described as a process instead of a result.
