What is an Online Business Manager anyway? (and why do you need one?)
Great question and one we get a lot!
WHAT THE HECK IS AN ONLINE BUSINESS MANAGER, ANYWAY?
Every successful entrepreneur knows they are meant to serve as the CEO, the visionary, the strategist for their company. When they first start off, they are probably doing this and also doing “all the things.” But what happens when you’ve seen enough success that you can no longer do it all yourself…when running the business is simply taking too much time and stifling your growth, creativity, and focus?
Enter the online business manager (or OBM for short).
In a nutshell, an OBM is someone who virtually manages aspects of an online business.
Let’s get into this a bit more.
A DEEPER DIVE INTO OBMS
VA & OBM: What’s the Difference between a Virtual Assistant and an Online Business Manager?
You get it, and you’re onboard. You know you need to outsource once you hit a certain level of success in your entrepreneur business, but who do you outsource to?
You’ve likely heard of virtual assistants and seen the acronym VA floating around. Maybe a peer has one or you’ve seen the phrase in an online network. Until fairly recently these were typically overseas roles that charged a low hourly wage for a few different types of tasks.
Given the drastic advances in technology, more businesses are virtual which has lead to an increase in “freelance economy” or “gig economy” meaning VAs who offer a higher level of support are now all across the U.S. and Canada.
There is also another support role available called an online business manager (OBM). You may not have heard of this role yet, but I bet you will see it more often as more businesses are open to remote and virtual support. You may be searching for this exact type of person but not even know it has a name!
A VA and an OBM are both great options for outsourcing aspects of your business. Okay, great, but what’s the difference? It’s a logical question and one I get asked all the time.
