Super Easy Task Instructions for Your Virtual Assistant: Create a Podcast Soundbyte

Delegating the task of creating a podcast soundbyte to your virtual assistant (VA) can pose challenges. You might struggle to convey your ideas clearly or find it daunting to create the soundbyte on your own. Without effective communication, the execution of your vision may fall short, leading to wasted time and a lack of enthusiasm for the output.


Imagine envisioning a captivating soundbyte to promote your podcast episode, only to have your VA misinterpret your vision. Miscommunication can result in a soundbyte that fails to capture the essence of your episode, leaving you frustrated and your promotional efforts ineffective. It's crucial to bridge the communication gap and ensure your VA understands your vision clearly to achieve the desired outcome.


In this blog article, we provide a comprehensive guide on how to effectively delegate the task of creating a podcast soundbyte to your VA, minimizing misunderstandings and maximizing the impact of your promotional efforts.

Working alone in your business?

The business that you were so passionate about when you first started...but lately, you've been feeling like it's swallowing you whole.

Because, if you didn't turn the wheels in your business, who will?

Your free time must be disappearing as you work on email backlogs, unanswered social media DMs, video/podcast editing, client onboarding, and a BAZILLION other tasks you hardly have time for.😢

This is usually what happens when you have no team to back you up.

You probably had a solo virtual assistant in the past, but it didn't work out because you didn't have a task delegation system yet.

Maybe your virtual assistant needed you to train them, but you just didn't have the time and the mood for hand holding. You need someone who can hit the ground running!

Or, it could be that you did find an amazing virtual assistant, but they couldn't take up the huge load of work. It was too much for one person to handle.

So they quit on you, and now you're back to square one. 😭

It's important for you to know that

this is NOT your fault. 🙅

You are just trying to build your business empire. 💰

Because you've had so much business coming in, your task load is also growing at a rate
that you can't keep up with anymore. 🚀

So, how would it feel if you had an instant ROCKSTAR TEAM?

A team you can assign some or ALL of your tasks to? 🙋

A complete crew of virtual assistants that already had a task coordination and team management system in place.

All that's left to do is
assume the LEADERSHIP ROLE,
and the team will follow your footsteps.

With your business operations delegated to the 8point8 Virtual Assistant Team
you can have MORE TIME to be inspired & creative!

You can finally claim back your time freedom.
