I’ve been telecommuting for the past 4 years and since it appears to be a growing trend, (indeed, the future of knowledge working) I figured it would be helpful to put down some of the more helpful tips I’ve learned for anyone starting out.

1. Connectivity

This might seem obvious, but having a good, reliable, and fast internet connection is absolutely crucial if you want to do any real work. Look for the fastest service available with a trusted provider. Don’t be afraid to shop around every couple of years to make sure you continue using the best provider. You’ll want something that can handle video and audio streaming.
