info_outlineAre you a small business owner who utilizes online freelancers or is considering doing so? In this episode, we dive into the dos and don'ts, and best practices of hiring online professionals to help grow your business.
Starting at a young age, Jaime Nacach equipped himself with digital skills by learning Web & Graphic Design, and through this, he has helped many small businesses. After numerous clients, he observed their need to lower their costs, so he set forth to start his own agency Bloominari which hires freelancers from abroad. However, having a negative experience with a few online freelancers, Jaime was driven to build a better solution for business owners. At the time, there was no agency catering to providing work within Latin America. This prompted Jaime to create Virtual Latinos, a company that connects small business owners with trusted & vetted virtual assistants within Latin America. His company has experienced great success, going from a team of 1-2 people to where he is now with nearly 100 employees, including virtual and local staff.
Jaime is changing the culture from “virtual assistants” to “virtual professionals” by providing highly-skilled professionals in Latin America the opportunity to connect with businesses worldwide. He is showing that VAs need not just be stuck doing administrative tasks; instead, they can be professionals who can be key members of your growing team by offering Digital Marketing, Graphic design, Copywriting and so much more by working remotely.
In this episode, Jaime and Steve cover many topics of interest to the online business owner and online freelancer. From the importance of adapting in the ever-changing digital world to becoming more efficient through automation while keeping the best mix of automation and the human element.
They also go into the all-important element of trust in the online space and how you can make sure people know that they can trust you from every aspect of your online presence and marketing materials.
This episode gives you the essentials about hiring virtual employees and keeping them happy while growing and scaling as a business. It offers insight into how anyone can start a business, and its endless potential, even without any up-front capital, due to the accessibility of modern technology and the internet.
