The Pitfalls of Forum Posting: Why You Need a Virtual Assistant to Avoid Failure

Forum posting can be an incredibly beneficial resource for businesses and entrepreneurs looking to increase their online visibility and attract potential customers. However, when done incorrectly, this tactic can quickly become a major pitfall. For many, the process of forum posting becomes time-consuming and overwhelming. Not only do you have to be aware of the rules and regulations of each forum, but you also ensure that your posts are well-crafted and engaging. With the assistance of a virtual assistant, forum posting can quickly succeed. Virtual assistants are highly trained professionals with the right tools and experience to help you avoid the pitfalls of forum posting and make the process much smoother. With their help, your forum posts will be successful and get you the results you desire.

What is forum posting?

Forum posting refers to the act of sharing your thoughts or opinions on a specific forum. These forums can be online communities or websites meant for discussion between members, or they can take the form of a specific topic page on social media sites like Facebook or Reddit. While there are many different types of forums, they all have one thing in common — there is an element of trust between the members. Forum members are typically people who have some sort of common interest. They may be hobbyists, entrepreneurs, or specialists in a given industry. Forum posting is a great way to gain visibility and attract potential customers by building trust and credibility by sharing helpful content.

BUCKET SYSTEM vs. Employee

Sure, you could hire an ordinary employee to help grow your business, but do you really have enough small tasks to fill up 40 hours per week or even 20 hours per week every single week? If not, that employee will be spending downtime on your dime.

TaskBullet has eliminated this problem with what we call the BUCKET SYSTEM. Your remote employee will clock in when you need them and clock out when you don't. (Learn how it works here) With a remote personal assistant, you pay for the hours you need and nothing more. You'll save money on not having to provide employee benefits, office space, office supplies (computer, desk, coffee, etc.); oh, and did I mention downtime?

Your remote personal assistant will come with his or her own supplies, a strong education (TaskBullet virtual assistants have university degrees), and deep professional background. When you hire a virtual sales assistant from TaskBullet, you are also assigned a project manager to ensure that everything runs smoothly. What are you waiting for?

I have been extremely impressed by the service I've got a Task Bullet. I've looked at other VA companies and not been drawn to use them. What I love about Task Bullet is that they have such a vast array of expertise that you can draw on, thereby using your time so efficiently. I also love that you have an initial conversation with a supervisor and she oversees the projects and checks in with you to make sure you're getting the service you want. I've been recommending them to all my friends and people I know in business

Holly C.

Tried a few different VA's now and this has been the best by far for simple admin tasks and social media upkeep

Aviva R.

Task Bullet makes it super simple to outsource tasks to a virtual assistant. They are responsive, easy to work with, and hire great talent.

A great resource for our business.

Grace R.

Great!

Highly recommend as a VA service. My project manager has been second to non. Usually all work is great. One task wasn’t completed as expected and the task was completed again at no extra charge in the same day! You can’t get better than that.

Lorna J.

I’ve loved working with Vincent and Earl so far. They’ve helped me a lot in my business, from designing landing pages, email automation and diarising appointments. I feel more organised. Thank you 🙏🏻

Miki S.

I have enjoyed working with TaskBullet because of their great customer service and quality of work!

Adela R.

I´m using Taskbullet to create my digital business from scratch and I only can say that I´m very happy with your service. Highly recommended ;)

Carolyn C.

Great service, great staff, love the VA's I've worked with. Thank you!

Nao G.

TaskBullet has been a GREAT help to me over the last few years! I didn't realize how valuable it is to be able to outsource some of my work until I tried it. TaskBullet has been working great for simple yet time-consuming tasks - well worth it!

Glenn M.

I reached out to Taskbullet for help with research and top of the funnel marketing assistance; the result has been fantastic! I love the project focus and ability to scale hours up or down, something that is a little harder to come by with other VA services. Upon writing my first task, I was promptly assigned a VA that exceeded my expectations, and now I can rest easy knowing I am moving my business forward through leveraging Taskbullet. Highly recommend!

Alexander K.

Task Bullet has been a great find. I use the virtual assistants to help build my business by assisting my new business managers with leads and outreach. They are incredibly affordable and communicative.

Dr. Victoria M.

Task Bullet helped us with a bookkeeping project that allowed us to get the work done in a cost-effective way. We saved a considerable amount of money by using Task Bullet instead of the bookkeeper we had been using previously.

Justdothething B.

My first experience with a VA at any level. Task Bullet was recommended by a friend so I gave it a try. I love that I don't have to choose a specific skill set. Task Bullet allows me to provide the project and helps me align a VA with the right skills. Very versatile.

Joel Moss L.

Responsive, thoughtful, professional and a helpful partner. Still figuring out the best way to communicate everything I want to do now that I’ve got this great resource!

Adrian S.

This service is top notch. Great communication all the way through. Plus fast, efficient, quality work. I'm very pleased and will continue using them.

Just Go T.

TaskBullet is perfect for my small business. I love the excellent communication I receive. I have 2 Virtual assistants, one for social media and the other to help maximize my website and SEO. Both are super creative and responsive. More creative than me, which I NEED! We even use Zoom meetings to better communicate and perfect each project. They are both available on my hours and because of where they are located, we even meet after 5pm occasionally which is perfect for me!I am in my first bucket of hours but now that I know how it all works and I love the service, I plan to purchase a larger bucket of hours and save money on future projects.Thanks TadkBullet for all your support!Julie

Audrey O.

I have worked with resourceful VAs and it has been a seamless process ! I appreciate the efficiency

Steven A.

My experience has been first rate. Communication with my task manager, Eena G., and both of the people she assigned asks to has been excellent. Also, my projects were done in a timely manner.

Andrea Denise J.

I’ve used TaskBullet for a variety of services, design, video editing, website revamp, and each time I’m happy with their high level of communication and their work. It had definitely made life/work easier!

Task Bullet has a flexible business model (based on hours rather than fixed contracts) which was just perfect for my bookkeeping needs. They give you a free trial so it's definitely worth checking them out!

Michael D.

Nicole has been the best! She is awesome to work with: super responsive, keeps me organized & on task, and is a force-multiplier in my business. I highly recommend TaskBullet to anyone looking for a top-notch VA!

Best Prices hands down!!!

Construkt A.

Taskbullet can be a great admin tool to add to your business toolkit and a very good value, depending on the tasks you give them to do.

Kristina & Breanne S.

We started working with Task Bullet about 2 months ago and have freed up SO much time! We appreciate having a dedicated Project Manager, Karla, who we can bounce project ideas off and ask all of our questions. She's super responsive and helpful!We also really appreciate the VAs who are supporting us. They ask good questions, ensure their understanding, check back to ensure they are completing tasks correctly, and overall do a great job with communication and quality of work!I would definitely recommend trying them out; I think you'll be surprised by the amount of time time they can free up so you can focus on your highest valued tasks.

Venus O.

A friend recommended Task Bullet to me as I was going crazy as a one-woman-band. I have been working with TaskBullet for 3 months now and I cannot recommend it enough. I have outsourced graphic design, audio editing, SEO on-page optimisation, email marketing and more. Everyone I have dealt with has been pleasant, professional and efficient. They certainly make my life easier so that I can concentrate on the tasks that I have to do myself. I can't believe that I used to believe that outsourcing would be difficult when the opposite is true.

Nalee R.

Task bullet is a great way to outsource virtual tasks. They are friendly, punctual, and on top of their game. Highly recommend to anyone looking to outsource.

Tim B.

A friend referred me to Virtual Assistants & Virtual Assistant Services by Task Bullet. I am very pleased with their responsiveness and the work that they do. I would highly recommend them.

Kevin K.

Task bullet is outstanding. Super easy to work with and they have fantastic support! Highly recommend.

Wyred I.

We recommend Task Bullet for all of your marketing assistant needs. We love how responsive the team is and they are always a pleasure to work with. Task Bullet helps us do more of what we love to do ... run our business!

Colette R.

I've been working with Taskbullet for the last while and have found them all great, very fast and they have a team of different people that have different skills so I've got them to do various tasks including video editing, updating my website etc. I would definitely recommend them as I tried a few other VAs before and they were totally inadequate.

usaboxer2006

The service is excellent and has saved me hours on bookkeeping and receipt management!

S V

I'm planning a large event and TaskBullet has been instrumental in accelerating our capacity. I've been impressed by how seamlessly my assistant navigates between different tools, including Notion and Airtable, which can be challenging for some to pick up quickly. The team has been very responsive with any questions. If they added weekend coverage I'd be over the moon!

Jessica L.

Task Bullet virtual assistance service has been nothing short of wonderful. My VA is amazing, and I'm very excited about the efficiency and support they bring to my daily tasks. Thank you for saving me time and helping my company grow!

DCM Pest C.

Taskbullet are on hand to help with all your business needs, matching you to a suitable candidate and offering ongoing support.

Jennifer M.

I’ve been using TaskBullet for 15 months now and love it. I am not techie do they help me with social media, graphics, and accounting.

Dhru B.

Task Bullet has been great to work with. I'm a very picky business owner when it comes to vendors, and I've gone through more VAs than I'd like to admit publicly (23, last time I checked). Task Bullet has been great to work with so far!Like with any VA service, it takes some time to get into a rhythm and figure out how best to work with them so styles work properly. The feedback loop is essential in this process, and ideally, you only spend a week or two going through the big rounds of feedback and growing pains before you get into a nice groove. This process was relatively fast with Task Bullet, and especially for what you pay, they are prompt, effective, and responsive. The only "complaint" I could have is that they use Basecamp for task management and communication, and I'm not a huge fan. But like I said, I've used tons of VAs over the years, and if that's the worst thing about a VA company, then you're doing pretty well!HIGHLY recommend!

Nick

TaskBullet is great to work with. Their "Bucket" system makes so much sense and simplifies the entire process of working with VAs. Not to mention the VAs are great! Highly recommended.

Garrick B.

I can say nothing but positive things about this company. Our VA has done great work. Their communication is very timely. They have been able to dive into the complicated tasks, follow-up on tasks and flag errors with instructions to create further efficiencies. We have saved quite a few hours since working with them. Their pricing model is VERY reasonable.

Jacob W.

We have been using TaskBullet for data research via the internet and it has worked better than we could have expected. The team is awesome!!

Matthew F.

The team at Task Bullet is incredible! There's nothing like supercharging your productivity with some help from professional assistants. I strongly recommend them!

Team M.

TaskBullet is very organized and responsive. They take a video of how to do your task so you only have to show them how to do it once. Mostly they are doing data entry for me, and they are highly accurate.

Benoit L.

Yaro C.

I use Task Bullet for Social Media and email blasts. So far it has been a great choice.

David D L.

Takes a little setup before you can get started, but once that's done they're pretty good! They keep you informed and organized, and they stay on your task until it's completed. Very helpful.
