In this week's episode of The Terrific Teacherpreneur, I discuss hiring a Virtual Assistant with Heather Whetham-Fergen from Hojo's Teaching Adventures.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What is a VA and what you can hire out
  • Why people hire VAs and the costs
  • How to know when you are ready
  • What you should hire out and the best ROI
  • Where you can find a VA
  • Payment and contracts
  • What to do when you're not happy with the work


This episode is longer than my usual episodes, but it's jam-packed with golden nuggets of information! If you've been thinking of outsourcing to a VA, this is for you. Heather is a TPT seller and has experience as a VA, so she has a wealth of knowledge.
