If it was a straightforward task that could be done in 20 min, they performed okay, but even in that case I still found it to be large time-saving. I would say that the quality varied a lot and most of the time, they did not save me any time if included coordination cost, etc. I used various assistants over a couple of months for in total maybe 30 tasks, each about 20 minutes long (their limit per one credit). "Fancy Hands is a team of US-based virtual assistants".Ĭomments I've heard on them from a couple of EAs: Happy to answer any questions that people have, or DM for more info.

Use to make video tutorials of how to do a process, instead of describing it in text.I think it’s worth spending 10 minutes explaining a task that will take 60 minutes - that will feel like a long 10 minutes and it might feel frustrating, but it’s worth it. Be prepared to invest time in explaining the task and process well for your assistant.

But if it does work well, then I think you have a lot to gain - my estimate is my assistants save me around 20-30 hours a month. If working with a remote assistant doesn’t work out for you I think you’ll lose around £300 and 12 hours of your time in 1 month. Our remote assistants have been awesome and super useful, so I thought it would be useful to try and write a guide to help others get started with using remote assistants. This year I’ve started using 3 remote personal/executive assistants for my work projects.
