The official definition of an Online Business Manager (OBM) is:

“A virtually based support professional who manages online based businesses, including the day-to-day management of projects, operations, team members and metrics.”
~ Tina Forsyth

The role of the OBM boils down to one simple thing:

To free up the business owner so that they can focus their time and energy on the things that only THEY can do in their business.

Most business owners look to hire an Online Business Manager (OBM) when they simply cannot grow their business anymore being the only one in charge. In order for them to take their business to the next level they need to pull themselves out of the day-to-day management activities and focus on growth.

Advantages to Using an Online Business Manager vs. Hiring an Employee

An OBM:

  • Is paid ONLY for the time worked, either hourly or project-based. You do not incur payroll taxes, medical and dental insurance, or holiday and vacation pay. Contract for only the hours you need.
  • Provides all necessary office space and equipment: computer, telephone, internet connection, copier, scanner, fax, etc….
  • Has all of the necessary training, and will learn new software and skills in her personal time.
  • Is a professional at what she does, managing her time and projects efficiently.
