How Outsourcing to a VA Can Save You 10+ Hours a Week (and Boost Your Profits)

As a business owner, your time is your most valuable asset. Every hour you spend on admin work, content scheduling, or following up with clients is an hour you're not spending closing deals, creating offers, or building your brand.

If you’ve ever caught yourself saying, “I need more hours in the day,” this is your sign. 

You don’t need more time—you need strategic support.

Hiring a Virtual Assistant (VA) isn’t just outsourcing. It’s reclaiming your focus, freeing up your schedule, and increasing your profits. Let’s break down how working with a VA (like me!) can save you 10+ hours per week—and how that time directly boosts your bottom line.

📉 Time Is Money—Literally

Let’s do the math:

If you're spending 10+ hours a week on backend tasks that aren't directly generating revenue, you’re losing money.

Let’s say your expertise is worth $100/hour, which is typical for many coaches, consultants, and service providers.

You spend 10 hours/week doing:

• Admin

• Social media scheduling

• Lead follow-ups

• Client onboarding

• Calendar and inbox management

That’s $1,000/week in lost revenue potential.

Now let’s compare that to hiring a professional VA at $50/hour:

10 hours/week x $50/hour = $500 investment/week

That’s half the cost of doing it all yourself—and now your time is free to do higher-value tasks like sales calls, launches, or expanding your offers.

What Could You Do with 10 More Hours a Week?

Here’s what many of my clients choose to do:

• Book 1–2 new clients

• Record and launch a digital product, podcast, or YouTube series

• Host a masterclass or workshop

• Spend more time networking or in their zone of genius

• Actually, unplug on the weekend without feeling behind

Time saved is revenue gained. It’s that simple. Time is a valuable resource that, when used correctly, can position you to accomplish bigger wins.

Time Breakdown: Where 20 Hours a Month Really Goes

You might think “just an hour here and there” isn’t a big deal—but those hours add up fast.

Here’s a look at what 20 hours a month of non-revenue-generating work looks like:

🗓️ Weekly Breakdown (5 hours per week):

• Email + Inbox Management – 1.5 hrs

• Social Media Scheduling + Engagement – 1 hr

• Client Onboarding/Offboarding – 0.5 hr

• Calendar Management + Appointment Scheduling – 0.5 hr

• Follow-Ups + Lead Nurturing – 1 hr

• Admin (invoices, CRM updates, file organization, etc.) – 0.5 hr

Total: 5 hours/week = 20 hours/month

💸 What That Time Costs You:

If your time is worth $100/hour, then:

• 5 hours/week = $500/week in lost revenue

• 20 hours/month = $2,000/month in lost revenue

Even at $75/hour, that's $1,500/month of lost value.

💼 What It Costs to Hire a VA Instead

Hire me as your Virtual Assistant at $50/hour for those same 20 hours/month:

20 hours x $50/hour = $1,000/month

✅ You save 20 hours

 ✅ You gain a professional, reliable team member

 ✅ You free up time to scale and earn 

✅ You make room for more revenue-driving activity

That $1,000/month investment can easily generate $2K–$5K+ in revenue by allowing you to focus on higher-level work.

Real Ways I Help Save Time (With Industry Examples)

Let’s get into the real-world examples so you can visualize what this looks like in your business.

🏠 Real Estate Agent

The Problem: Between listings, tours, emails, and contracts, you’re always playing catch-up. Your follow-up system is inconsistent, and some hot leads go cold.

How I Help (as your VA):

• Post and manage listings (MLS, Zillow, website)

• Organize showing schedules and client itineraries

• Respond to inquiries and schedule appointments

• Send follow-up emails after showings

• Maintain your CRM and pipeline

Result: You stay focused on selling homes while I manage the admin behind the scenes. Just one extra closed deal per month (thanks to quicker follow-up and better organization) could mean $3K–$10K in commissions.

🎤 Coach or Consultant

The Problem: You’re building your brand, serving clients, and trying to stay consistent online—but you’re burning out.

How I Help (as your VA):

• Repurpose your live sessions into posts, blogs, or emails

• Schedule and format weekly newsletters

• Manage client onboarding, forms, and welcome emails

• Set up Zoom links and appointment reminders

• Track leads and send personalized follow-ups

Result: You save 10+ hours/week and show up more consistently, which leads to more client conversions and a stronger brand presence. That time could easily turn into $2,000+ in new client revenue.

🔧 Mobile Mechanic or Service-Based Pro

The Problem: You’re great at your craft, but juggling client calls, bookings, and updates is draining. You miss messages or forget follow-ups.

How I Help (as your VA):

• Manage bookings via text, email, or form

• Confirm or reschedule appointments

• Send automated appointment reminders

• Request Google reviews after service

• Create weekly Google My Business updates or service updates

Result: Your calendar runs smoother, clients feel cared for, and you have time to complete more paid jobs. That could easily be 3–5 additional appointments per week—money in your pocket.

💸 From Time Saved to Profits Gained

Here’s the big picture:

Hiring me for 10 hours/week at $50/hour = $500/week Hiring me for 20 hours/month at $50/hour = $1,000/month

What you gain in return:

• More sales

• More free time

• Happier clients

• Faster growth

And let’s be honest—less stress and more peace of mind is priceless.
