Why and how one author hired a social media assistant

All of us, whether it’s at home or at work, have certain tasks that they just can’t bear to — or simply cannot, due to a lack of skill or equipment — do themselves.

What those tasks are will vary from person to person, but if you’re among the authors who tenses up at the thought of social media posts, rest assured that you’re not alone.

Author Barbara Linn Probst made some mistakes early on in her online marketing, and she still finds the time commitment to it to be overwhelming.

So finally, she decided to look into hiring a virtual assistant or social media assistant.

Probst describes her research into possible hires and shares the questions that she thinks are important for you to ask and answer in the assistant-hiring process in a post on Jane Friedman’s blog.
