LS41 Nathan Hirsch

In this interview with Nathan Hirsch, he explains how he’s taken the hiring process for virtual assistants and created a series of SOPs that can save any business owner time and money. Nathan started his entrepreneurial journey back when he was in college, selling used student textbooks at rates much lower than what the school offered. When the school eventually forced him to stop, he turned to selling products on Amazon. As his online business grew, he quickly realized he needed to find reliable workers to help him out. However, being in college, those were hard to come by. That’s when he went to online hiring. As Nathan describes it, he made a lot of mistakes when he first undertook the hiring process for his virtual assistants. With FreeUp, his first eight-figure business, he created a reliable platform for hiring. The platform vets potential candidates and matches you up with the person who fits your needs. However, the process doesn’t end when you make the hire. As a business owner, it’s then up to you to come up with the SOPs that will make your business run smoothly. That’s where Nathan’s newest business, Outsource School comes in. By providing playbooks and formulas to business owners, he makes the process of systematizing easy so that you can get more time back. Nathan also describes learning to grow without having to rely on ads. Some of his key strategies include, putting out consistent content, going on podcasts, linking to affiliate programs, and setting up joint ventures with other businesses. By taking the trial and error out of the hiring process for virtual assistants, Nathan has been able to help countless business owners scale more effectively. With the right procedures, business growth can be simplified.
