Remote CoWorker

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a musician, and I own S. Taylor Publishing.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Remote CoWorker?

I needed a virtual assistant to help me with my business.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Remote CoWorker’s virtual assistant (VA) is sending my music to different radio stations. They research and identify the genre of various stations, and they send my songs and electronic press kit (EPK) to those stations.

My VA logs the day and time that my songs get aired if a station decides to play my music. Several stations play my music now, so we keep track of who’s airing my songs and for how many times per day.

Additionally, my VA has set up and is managing my Facebook and Twitter accounts. They also respond to messages on those platforms.

What is the team composition?

I work with one VA. 

How did you come to work with Remote CoWorker?

We hired a VA for my daytime job, and they did a great job for us. I realized if I wanted my business to succeed, I also needed help from a VA. 

How much have you invested with them?

I spend $550 per month. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in September 2021, and it’s ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

My VA is doing an outstanding job. Because of their work, my songs are heavily played on over 10 radio stations. 

How did Remote CoWorker perform from a project management standpoint?

Every day, my VA has a task list, including submitting songs to radio stations and updating my social media with posts and pictures. They successfully accomplish their tasks every day. 

We communicate through Skype, and we use Google Drive to share files. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

The VA that Remote CoWorker assigned to me is very hardworking and diligent, and they are excited about our work. In this business, we need to keep marketing ourselves to get responses — my VA is doing an excellent job in that.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything. So far, everything is going well, and we’re making a lot of progress. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Know your market. When I started this journey, I didn’t know what I needed to do. Identify your goals, and have your path lined up. Ensure that you are organized, and place deadlines on your tasks. If you do that, your VA will know what they need to do every day.
