There is a debate between whether to hire VAs or build automations. Here are the key characteristics of both:
VAs:
💰 Cost: $800/Month
Key Characteristics:
✅ Flexibility
✅ Personal Touch
✅ Emotional Intelligence
✅ Require guidance and managing
Automations:
💰 Cost: $20/month
Key Characteristics:
✅ Efficiency
✅ Cost-Effectiveness
✅ Consistency
✅ 24/7 Availability
✅ Require technical knowledge and updates
Virtual assistans triumph in tasks where flexibility and personal touch are required (at a monetary cost), while automations wipe the floor with VAs in tasks that are just straight up repetitive and require little to no decision making.
