I Run An Online Business

The Top 10 Reasons Websites Use Virtual Assistants:

1. To provide "live" assistance and increase sales.
   
2. To perform regular updates, blog entries and basic maintenance therefore increasing SEO.
   
3. To complete back-end facilities such as order fulfillment and shipping
   
4. Create and build trust with consumers - we estimate over 60% of telephone calls a website receives are to check whether it's a real business or not.
   
5. To enable the business owner to continue part-time or even full-time work whilst starting their business.
   
6. As a second pair of "eyes" to check copy, spelling and sense.
   
7. To manage databases, mailing lists and newsletters.
   
8. Managing incoming e-mail and filtering enquiries to relevant departments.
   
9. Monitoring forums, Myspace, facebook etc. profiles and other interactive elements of the website.
   
10. To free their time for development rather than administration.
