What if an off-site assistant handled a lot of your office work?
What else might *you* be able to accomplish?Hello! I’m Patty Ayers. My work is providing services that an administrative assistant typically does for small businesses, but from my location.
I work from my fully-equipped home office in Hotchkiss, Colorado as an independent contractor.
Here are some things I could do for you:
Maintain websites
Write, edit, proofread
Create and edit graphics
Basic video editing
Basic audio editing
Manage and respond to emails
Send invoices, pay bills
Organize online files
Conduct research
Update contact databases
Make phone calls
Assist with ad/marketing campaigns
Complete paperwork
Assist with event planning
How is hiring an independent contractor different from hiring a regular employee?
- Instead of you, the employer, paying for a work space, utilities, desk, computer, phone, and other equipment and supplies, I pay for all of those.
- Rather than you paying for FICA Social Security and Medicare taxes for me, I pay those myself.
- Instead of having the security that a steady job provides, I regularly spend time, effort and money finding good clients.
This is why my hourly rate is not comparable to the hourly rate of an employee.
Working with a contractor like me can provide you with flexibility and cost savings which aren’t possible with a regular employee.
For a new client, an initial deposit of $225 and a signed contract are needed.
Hourly work is charged $37.50/hour and is invoiced once a month.
Per-Project and Monthly Retainer arrangements are also available.
