It’s been 18 months since the start of the pandemic and more and more people are choosing to walk a new path when it comes to their careers. While, pre-pandemic, the office was a way of life, after nearly two years of working remotely, for many the office feels like a thing of the past.  The pandemic has prompted a huge shift in how we work and it’s had a significant impact on the setup of many companies. However, if your employer is not allowing you to continue working from home then you might be thinking about making a change. The concept of starting your own virtual home based business can be a daunting one, after all there’s a lot to think about and consider, but if you get it right, it could also be the best move you’ve ever made.
Like the idea of leaving the office and starting up on your own, but unsure where to start? Below are a few tips and ideas to help guide you through the process of starting a virtual home-based business - read on for everything that you should know. 

Get the idea right 
First things first, it’s essential that when it comes to starting your own home-based business that you get the business concept right. You might already have a business idea in mind, or you might still be thinking things over. Either way, it’s vital that you take the time to think about what kind of business setup might be right for you. It’s useful here to think about where your skills lay and how you can utilise them as part of your business venture. For instance, say you previously worked as a teacher but no longer feel comfortable working in a school environment, then perhaps you might like to set up a business as a virtual tutor. 

Think about budget 
It’s also important to think about your budget for your business, and how much you can afford to spend on setting your business up. You need to think about the various areas of your business setup and how you can make those costs affordable. It’s not just about buying a laptop or computer and the right software, it’s also thinking about additional costs, such as if you were to start a tutoring business you would need teaching resources to use for virtual lessons, and this is a cost that it’s important to take into account. 

Market yourself 
Don’t forget to think about how you’re going to market your new business. Don’t forget, you could have the best business concept in the world, but if you don’t let people know about it, the chances are that your business will fail. So, it’s vital that you take steps to market yourself and your business effectively.  This doesn’t have to mean spending large amounts on marketing, it could be as simple as utilising social media as a means of marketing your business. If you don’t have the skills to market your business effectively, consider taking an online course.
