Have you ever heard the term “virtual employee” and wondered what exactly it means? Basically, a virtual employee is just like a regular employee who works for your business. However, instead of coming into your office or physical location, they provide services remotely.
In most cases, virtual employees aren’t directly employed by your business. You’ll usually go through a third-party company to hire them. So you’re essentially paying that company for the services of the employee. But they can perform a wide array of tasks for your business, from data entry and scheduling to posting on social media or clearing out your inbox.
