Free yourself for a day by using a Tasksumer, OR use a Virtual Assistant to save the day!
After reading about the trend of TASKSUMERS (consumers who make money from carrying out small tasks, for other individuals or companies), I thought to myself what is a Tasksumer? What is the difference in value between a Virtual Assistant and a Tasksumer?
A Tasksumer is great for a college student looking to earn extra cash while in major cities, and available for one-time projects. A Virtual Assistant is a professional you build a long term relationship with, who understands your business, and is a trusted business partner that can be counted on to provide the support you need, as needed, with no overhead cost.
Tasksumers are offered a variety of odd jobs for varying amounts through Gigwalk, TaskRabbit or Amazon Mechanical Turk (Human intelligence tasks that computers can’t do).
Here are a few examples of what a Tasksumer could be assigned to do at TaskRabbit.com. Taking a picture of a Taco Bell menu at a drive through (Taco Bell requires verification of price changes), check quality control of the person taking orders at a local restaurant, test customer service experiences at a national retailer, stand in line for the new Apple Iphone, take pictures at a comedy club of couples having fun during the show, the list goes on!
In business, each day there are multiple small tasks to accomplish during our day-to-day operations. Some are urgent and get taken care of immediately, while others seem to move from today’s “to do list” to tomorrow’s. They are more like “things I would really like to accomplish, and I never seem to have the time to do.” Eventually it leaves you with a sense of vague dissatisfaction.
There is a simple way to avoid this scenario, with both minimum effort and maximum reward. By employing a Virtual Assistant for the more technical and professional tasks, and using a Tasksumer for the simple tasks, you can get all those small items and important matters completed and marked off your list, leaving you with a sense of accomplishment and well-being.
Do you need your social media presence set up, digital files organized, internet research for your web site blog, or a business eNewsletter set up with Constant Contact? Turn these projects over to your trusted Virtual Assistant, soon to be your favorite go-to person for task support.
Virtual Assistants have been around for many years, ever since the internet started supporting email communication. By providing essential services to people for their personal and business need, Virtual Assistants became a specialized, niche B2B service that provides very beneficial and rewarding assistance to busy business owners.
Whether helping a company out with seasonal newsletters, ordering office supplies, setting up a conference call for twenty people, or compiling birthdays and anniversaries into a single document so you never miss them again, a second pair of hands can help ease your workload so you can get it all done and still have a life too!
In addition to customized task support based on your specific needs, Bizy Biz Virtual Assistant offers these popular service packages:
• WordPress Website Creation
• Administrative support and bookkeeping
• Real Estate Virtual Assistant
• Social Media Coordination
• eNewsletters
Virtual Assistants can help you remove all those time-sucking roadblocks from your path, allowing you to focus on the productive and creative aspects of your life. To add a layer of support to your business or personal life and include Virtual Assistant services in your budget, and get back to doing what you love to do best, secure in the knowledge that your Virtual Assistant is taking care of the rest.

Hi Janice, great article! Especially how you explained the difference between a VA and a Tasksumer. It’s a weird term though, as it sounds like a blend of task and consumer, so I would have pegged Tasksumer as the customer who hires a Task-Doer, lol. So this was really helpful in defining what’s available out there.
I’m very happy with the work you do for me and my web site. You def save me time, and time is so valuable. And I like that you always make sure to communicate to me what your research turns up, instead of “just doing it.” It helps me to learn how to use WordPress better that way, which saves me time and frustration later down the line.
Woohoo!
