Not enough hours in the day to get everything done?

Here’s why hiring My set PA could save you time and reduce stress.

Film & TV crews are notorious for investing every ounce of time and energy into their jobs.

There's no team picking up the slack so if you want it done you have to do it yourself right?

Wrong!

That's why thousands of crew members are hiring My Set PA to take care of things in 2022 and spending their precious free time doing what they love, with the people they love.

What is a Virtual Assistant?

A Virtual Assistant (VA) is an experienced remote assistant, but instead of having to pay them a full time salary, you only pay when you need them.

Compared to hiring, using a VA is a fraction of the cost and you won't have to find them a desk or cover employee costs.

My Set PA VAs work remotely from home, and have flexible hours to suit themselves and their clients. Our VAs come from a wide range of backgrounds and a wide field of expertise, so whatever a crew member needs, there's a VA who can do it.

Why use a Virtual Assistant?

Ultimately, hiring a VA means you can actually relax on your days off, safe in the knowledge that we've got you covered

When you're on set for 12+ hours, or away on location, it's easy to get burnt out and forget things.

Did you start working in showbiz to be stressed and have too much to sort out on your days off? Didn't think so.

Virtual Assistants use their time so you can use yours you wish, freeing up not only time, but often the mental space to think, relax and plan growth for the future.

When you’re not stressed out about the details you can focus on the job in hand, not about the birthday present you haven't had time to buy or the emails building up in your mailbox.

Can you imagine feeling truly organised for the first time in months? Maybe it's been years since you last felt that way.

My Set PA can take the pressure off by completing the day-to-day tasks that need to be done, they just don't need to be done by you.

Who are Virtual Assistants for?

What would you do if you got 30% of your free time back?

• Spend time with your family?

• Spend more time on your hobbies?

• Catch up with much needed sleep?

• Take time out to spend on the things you enjoy?

Sounds like heaven, right?

It's a reality for more and more crew, and it could be yours.

How can a Virtual Assistant free up your time?

Everyone has mundane things they hate doing, or worse, have no clue how to do. They're important, so they sit on your to-do list staring at you until you finally sit down and try to check them off.

Are those tasks a good use of your time? No. Are they essential? Yes.

Virtual Assistants solve that problem.

A Virtual Assistant can tackle the parts of your to-do list that never seem to get crossed off or reappear regularly so you can't ignore them but they take up so much of your time.

For instance, are your email notifications driving you to distraction?

A VA can take over for you, sifting out the spam and the general information requests so you only have to deal with the emails that really require your time.

If you need to make appointments, is it really a good use of your time setting them up instead of seeing friends? What if the time you saved using a VA to deal with your schedule meant you could see more of your family? Isn't that what you love to do?

If you run a business, keeping on top of your social media eats up time like nothing else. You have to create the content, post it, and multiply that by the number of platforms you have...

...and yet, you can't take your foot off the gas when it comes to social media marketing.

As soon as you do, your followers drift off, and the competition steps in. A VA could take that load off your shoulders, writing content, and posting consistently.

Probably the least favorite task for most people are the dreaded expenses and finances.

It’s a love-hate thing.

Do you have a stack of receipts clogging up your inbox? Or maybe a backlog of invoices that need to be sent out but you just haven't had the time. Almost certainly you have sent invoices that haven't been paid and haven't found the time to chase them up.

You work hard but then it takes so much time trying to keep track of the money you're making.

If you hire a Virtual Assistant they can submit your expenses, send out invoices, and chase the outstanding ones. Then you can get on with tasks that actually generate money.

Here are more ideas of what a VA can do for you:

• Transcribe audio

• Edit and format documents

• Data entry

• Help with marketing

• Writing and blog posts

• Respond to emails

• Research

• Find products and services

• Book accommodation and travel

• Do your grocery shopping online

As you can see, a Virtual Assistant can support you personally and professionally, to get more done in less time, each of you focussed on your own area of expertise.

How much does a Virtual Assistant cost?

You're probably loving the idea of a VA by now but think that you probably can't afford one. Well, a VA costs up to 90% less than an experienced full-time assistant.

Bet that surprised you.

See, with a VA you're only paying for the assistance you need rather than a full-time salary.

If you’re a business or an entrepreneur, you're unlikely to need a full-time member of staff because you run the business, or perhaps your personal brand is the business. Much of it can only be done by you.

So hiring a VA to cover the 30% of time-wasting tasks we talked about earlier on, is much more efficient and much more affordable.

The beauty of Virtual Assistants is they are experts in their field so they could probably do the work much faster than you can, so you get your 30% of time back and only need to pay for 10% of it.

How flexible are Virtual Assistants?

The reason so many people are switching to VAs is because of their flexibility.

If you get your best ideas at night and need someone to do some fast research a VA will be there to do that for you.

Maybe you have an early call time on a Monday but plan the week ahead. You can talk to a VA as the sun is coming up and pass on your to-do list.

If you are constantly on the go and need to fire off tasks as they occur to you, at My Set PA you can use text or email to communicate with us, we will be there to receive it. Of course, some people do their best work talking on the phone and pacing around so you can call us if that works better for you.

VAs are so flexible they fit in with you, not the other way around.

Beyond flexibility, Virtual Assistants are responsive.

Virtual Assistants know that if you have a task, you probably need it done pretty quickly so they work fast but accurately and if a task is really urgent, there’s no extra charge to get it done.
