OnPoint Virtual Partners | Hire A Virtual Assistant

Hiring a virtual assistant (VA) is one of the smartest moves a business owner can make—but one of the first questions you’ll likely ask is:

“How many hours should I hire a virtual assistant for?”

The truth is: it depends on your business needs, budget, and goals. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to determine the ideal number of hours for your virtual assistant and how it can lead to better productivity, lower stress, and more time for growth.

1. Start by Identifying the Tasks You Want to Outsource

Before you decide on the number of hours, make a list of tasks you want to delegate. This could include:

• Email and calendar management
• Social media scheduling
• Customer support
• Lead generation
• Research
• Data entry
• Invoicing and bookkeeping

When you know what you need help with, it’s easier to estimate the time required for each task.

2. Estimate Time Per Task

Once you have your task list, try to estimate how long each one takes. For example:

• Managing emails: 1-2 hours/day
• Scheduling social media posts: 2-4 hours/week
• Customer service responses: 1 hour/day

Add everything up, and you’ll get a clearer picture of the daily or weekly hours you might need.

3. Choose Between Part-Time and Full-Time

Here’s a simple breakdown:

Type	Hours per Week	Best For
Part-Time VA	10–30 hours/week	Startups, solopreneurs, or task-specific roles
Full-Time VA	40 hours/week	Established businesses with ongoing tasks

If you’re unsure, start small (10–20 hours/week) and scale up as needed. Most clients find that once they see the results, they quickly realize the value of increasing hours.

4. Consider Your Budget
