How To Start Working Fully Remotely In 2021? (2 of 2)

Get To Building Your Own Business

This can be tricky, as every person starting off is in a different position. So for your own sake, we’ll be keeping this simple and straightforward.

If you’re sold on the idea of working remotely, and your boss isn’t willing to offer you the option to work remotely, the next best thing is to work for yourself and either work as a freelancer or start a business.

The only thing to keep in mind is not to quit your job immediately if you’re dead set on this. Take a page from Tim Denning and see if you can negotiate a single day every week to work remotely. That or find cracks in your schedule to fill them up with working on your business.

Fortunately, it’s easier than ever before to be making money as an entrepreneur. The first avenue that comes to mind is the creation of digital assets – things like mastermind groups, communities, online courses, coaching packages, and eBooks. There is a massive market for these things and you could build a fortune from these.

“But wait, what specifically am I going to be selling?” You may be asking. In that situation, consider looking at niches that are fitting for you. Set aside to ask yourself two key questions:

• What do you already know that you can help people with?
• What topics do you already know better than most people?

By answering these two questions you can easily find your field to be working in and begin growing an audience over time who wants to be learning from you. After that, it’s a matter of knowing how to package that knowledge in such a way that people would be willing to pay for it.

First write content, get a readership going, then talk to the readers about the products you are offering.

It’s said that for small YouTube channels to make a living off their subscribers you only need to have a solid 1,000 people being subscribed to you. Depending on what you are charging, that number can either be higher or lower for small businesses.

That’s the reality we live in now, which is fantastic, as it breaks down the notion you need to have a detailed business plan and need a million dollar idea in order to make it all happen. That’s simply not the case any longer.

If this is the path that you’re focused on taking, here are some suggestions to keep in mind:

• Have a general idea of how much everything costs for you to do what you’d like to do. Also spend time researching the industry to see if you can sell in there. Even if it looks tough, don’t be afraid to be a little innovative too. Ask yourself what other people are doing and what you plan to do that makes you different.
• Second, pick up some entrepreneurship books. Out of the many that are available, we’d suggest DotCom Secrets by Russel Brunson. It costs only $10 and it’s filled with all kinds of important information about entrepreneurship.

With all this in mind, we believe you have what it takes to forge a path forward for yourself. Take the leap if you’re given the chance and as bad as COVID-19 has been on us all so far, it still gave us some opportunities that we can gain perks from. The ability to work remotely is one such gift.
