What Are Virtual Solutions?
The most common and popular form of virtual solution is a virtual assistant or VA: a remote employee who has been trained to manage an online business, and ideally, has experience in it, too.

Able to perform a wide range of essential routine and administrative tasks, a VA can save you both time and money. Here are 10 tasks a virtual assistant could perform for you:
1. Sourcing Products
Growing your eCommerce business is possible only by offering customers a range of products. A VA can find the right products for you to sell, from credible sources.
2. Describing your Products
Most customers won’t buy a product without being able to read a good description of it first, and a VA can give you that for every product you sell.
3. SEO
Essential for all online businesses, search engine optimization strategies formulated by an experienced VA, can maximize traffic to your website.
4. Writing Content
High quality content written by a VA can be used to help an eCommerce business in so many different ways, and with the addition of targeted keywords, can attract the right audience to your website.

Able to keep track of your inventory and make sure you’re never low on stock (or overstock certain products), a virtual assistant will help make your business more efficient.
6. Fulfilling Orders
Ensuring that customers get the right goods at the right time, and delivered safely to their door, is all part of a successful eCommerce businesses responsibilities. A VA will handle every aspect of this for you.
7. Tracking Returns and Refunds

Product videos are becoming increasingly common for eCommerce businesses, and are an effective way of giving customers more clarity about a product. A good VA will produce product videos for you that will help boost sales.
9. Social Media Management
Social media has been a lifeline for many online businesses, and with the help of a VA, you can develop better connections with customers and create an online buzz about your brand.
