You can keep your team small while still doing big things.
Sly helps you do just that as your “right hand” assistant.
Virtual Assistant
Services
$60 USD per hour
Email & Scheduling
Forgotten appointments and missed emails? We will clear the backlog, create communication templates & stay on top of your inbox together.
Task Management
A lot goes into being human. We’ll keep track of what’s important to do with ToDoist, or another app of your choice.
Organization
We’ll make sure your files are organized and necessary info is easy to find. (That’s right - We’re reviving your abandoned CRM.)
Accountability
& Coworking
Friendly and firm reminders to do the things you know you need to do. Coworking sessions to actually get those things done.
Systems
When you have a map of how you keep getting from Point A to Point B, you’ll take fewer detours in the future.
Podcasting
Recording your podcast is only the first step. Who’s going to edit, keep track of episode progress, send pitches, and coordinate with guests?
website & Creative
We’ll keep your website up-to-date, set up your newsletter, and create cohesive, aesthetic visuals for any project.
everything else
“Do you do XYZ?”
Send me an email at sly.stark.va@gmail.com. I’ll let you know if I can help you with your specific areas of support, or I’ll send you to someone else who can.
organization & admin for Musicians & producers
$65 USD per hour
Sliding scale rates available for LGBTQ+ artists, BIPOC artists, and others in underserved communities. (And for projects that spark my curiosity.)
Feel free to reach out to discuss - sly.stark.va@gmail.com
DISCO.AC
Did you know you can delegate your Disco account setup, management, and organization? We’ll work toward a reality where you have complete metadata, a clean catelogue with no duplicates or clutter, and up-to-date playlists.
Spend less time prepping materials to pitch for sync, and spend more time making music.
metaData management
All the necessary track data you need in one spreadsheet. Because you have all that metadata attached to your tracks… until it’s gone.
You’ll never again wonder “what’s the writer split on that one song?”.
how to get started
-
Submit an inquiry with details of the support you need.
-
We talk about the areas where you need support and how we can work together, either via a video call or email.
This is your chance to ask any questions you may have, too. We also discuss how many hours of support you will need. If you aren't sure, we will start on the low end and increase your support hours based on the amount of work.
At this point, I will also come up with a rough plan of action if we were to begin working together, like what tasks we begin with and a recurring check-in meeting time (if requested).
-
If we agree to work together, this is the time we will sign an agreement.
The agreement includes details of the services I will provide along with typical my business processes and expectations around invoices, payment, communication, et cetera. Standard stuff.
At this point in the process, I will also issue an invoice for our first block of support hours, to be paid prior to starting work together.
-
To onboard, we will set up our task management method. You will share any relevant task and project details needed for me to properly support you.
At this point, you will also add me as a team member to relevant platforms, delegate email access, or share passwords to relevant accounts, if needed.
-
This is when we officially begin work on the tasks we agreed on in the "Discuss" phase.
In the first 30 days, I will focus on a limited scope of work. This allows us to get a feel for each other's work styles without us both becoming overwhelmed by delegating "all the things".
At the 30 day mark, or whenever the first block of hours have been used up, we check in with each other via email to decide whether our arrangement is working out. We also talk about any changes we'd like to make going forward.
If we agree our arrangement is working out, this is when we will expand our work to the full scope previously discussed.
