Things you need to setup your home office!

1 August 2009 2 Comments

People who want to work as a “freelancer” or work from their homes, they need the following to setup their home offices.

  • Room (A place which you can turn into your home office)
  • Computer System (minimum Core 2 duo recommended, though it depends on the type of jobs you will be working on. I am saying this because for data entry projects you dont need to have a high speed computer)
  • Internet connection (DSL connection recommended, again it depends on your job type, for web developers they need to upload/download files via ftp and they require high internet speed for that)
  • A Computer Table (Optional in case you are working on a laptop)
  • A chair (A comfortable chair to make yourself at ease while working on your projects and make you feel comfortable)
  • UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) Recommended for freelancers in Pakistan as we have to face load shedding and electricity rationing.
  • Other things like Printer, Scanner, Office table accessories are optional and you can buy them later on with your monthly projects income but its not must to have them while you are new to freelancing.
  • A Book Rack (A shelf to keep your important books that are available when needed)
  • Telephone/Fax Machine (Optional)

    One more thing, You should have a diary or any related thing where you can actually keep the records of the work. All the things which you’ve mentioned are better to get organized to start freelancing but its most important to keep the records of the on-going projects with you. Sometimes, if you are working of many projects, chances are that you can forget about some and maybe the deadline to submit the final report passes. In that case, you will get penalty and a bad rating which is very crucial for any freelancer in getting a project.
