• Deep knowledge of the main meeting platforms
• Clear, friendly communication over the phone and chat
• Staying organized across several clients

• Insurance such as tech errors and omissions, so check what cover suits remote work
• Privacy rules when you can access client accounts and recordings, so check your province and the federal rules
• Using client-approved tools and strong passwords for any admin access
• Check whether you need a home-based business licence from your municipality

Startup costs are estimates, typically around $500 to $2,500, depending on the computer, headset, camera and software you already have. Because the work is done remotely from home, you don't need premises or a vehicle.

Estimates suggest monthly revenue typically around $800 to $4,000, depending on how many clients you support and how often you run or moderate calls and webinars. You would likely need at least about 8 hours a week.

Check privacy rules in your province and federally, since you may access client accounts and recordings. Also look at tech errors and omissions insurance, any home-based business licence, and Quebec French-language requirements for client-facing material.
