An online consulting business is a good idea to keep costs low, and it gives
you the most freedom when working with clients.

You don't have to drive to in-person meetings, or rent a conference room to
consult, the way you might if you were running a traditional consulting
business from home.

Here I am telling you some steps that you should follow for starting up an
Online Consulting Business:

Step 1: First Step is to choose on an Online Consulting Business. You may
have many areas of expertise, which makes choosing a niche difficult to do.
Don't confuse prospective and existing customers by trying to be everybody's
consultant.

Some fields that are proven or emerging are:

-Emergency preparedness

-Weight loss

-Organization

-Legal

-Accounting

-Public relations

-Technology

-Marketing

-Educational

Step 2: Once you decided your field the next step is to write an Online
Consulting Business Plan and this is very important step so do it very
carefully

Step 3: Buy Malpractice as you might miss the mark with a client and give
the wrong advice and in that case Malpractice will help you as Malpractice
insurance protects you in lawsuits brought against you in either scenario, by
paying damages and offering legal counsel to defend you.

Errors and omissions are appropriate when you don't have a license to
protect. It works the same way as malpractice insurance. Any insurance
company that sells business insurance should offer both types of insurance.

Step 4: And in the end launch a website that will do more than market your
online consulting business. It should have the capability to communicate
directly with clients, and take requests for free and paid consultations.
