What Does An Online Business Manager Actually Do?

OBM

An online business manager (otherwise known as an OBM) is a professional brought into an online-based business to handle team members, projects, and every other task a regular business owner would take on.

Often an OBM is brought in when you’ve reached the point where you simply cannot handle all of the requirements to be the business owner and manager. Bringing in an OBM will help you to keep that business running and remain the owner while handing over the reins to someone else to run it.

What is an Online Business Manager (OBM)?

An Online Business Manager isn’t a virtual assistant. A virtual assistant is just that, an assistant who completes tasks for you as the business owner. An OBM covers a much larger scale and allows you to get a break from the everyday functions of business management.

This role in an online-based business is the glue that holds the company together. An OBM will be able to step in as the CEO and Visionary of your online-based company to handle projects, marketing, and directing the entire team of employees or independent contractors to do what is expected of them on a day-to-day basis. 

An Online Business Manager is a professional who already knows everything you need to know to grow your business and keep your online-based business running.

An OBM is:

  • Someone to get a fresh set of ideas from that could potentially breathe new life into your online-based business. 

  • Someone to run ideas off of when you come up with new ideas or marketing strategies that will provide professional advice or validation on those ideas. 

  • Having someone who can take over a CEO-type role for your business will save you money and time so that the company will grow to its full potential.

You need to have an OBM so that the business you started will thrive and blossom further than you ever could take it. This isn’t to say that you don’t know how to run a business and make it successful properly. Chances are you’ve already built your online-based business to significant success and now have the funds to hire an OBM.

Hiring an OBM is an essential step for any business owner who simply doesn’t have the time to keep up with their growing business but doesn’t want to shut it down or sell to a new owner. 

Suppose you find that you don’t have enough time to run your online-based business and are making pretty decent figures with this business. In that case, it’s time to look into hiring an Online Business Manager because they’ll truly help you advance this business you started. 

I’d be happy to discuss your needs as I am a Certified OBM® and can help you get your business organized.
