A Step-by-Step Guide to Onboarding Remote Employees

Published

1 year ago

January 7, 2025

Developing a robust and efficient onboarding strategy for new recruits means you are more likely to achieve your business goals more quickly.

It is really important to think about your online and remote induction processes well before the job offer stage to ensure things run smoothly when your new recruit starts working for you.

With the help of a few of our clients, we’ve prepared a step by step guide to onboarding remote workers effectively.

Step 1:

Contract and Offer Paperwork:

As soon as a job offer has been verbally accepted, aim to send out your offer in writing, ideally with a contract of employment, as soon as possible. Getting a contract out to a new starter can be done in a number of ways, the easiest being via electronic signature. Not everyone has a scanner, and the post isn’t the quickest way to transmit important documents. E-Signing is both quick and easy.

You will also want to ensure you have agreed the best and most secure way to obtain proof of eligibility to work, payroll information and tax details, as well as details of any employment references you may need.

Step 2:

Equipment and Setup:

Make sure that the communication from the line manager prior to the start date is welcoming and includes providing an update with the progress of IT setup and equipment.

Make sure your new starter has all the right equipment they need to get going, particularly if they will be working remotely.

What IT equipment and set up will they need? Do they need a PC or laptop and will they also need speakers, a headset, work phone & sim card? How will calls be made? (ie. will you use whatsapp or phone?)

Don’t forget to check with the new starter what their remote setup looks like, i.e. Where will they be working (bedroom, office, living room…. )? What kind of set up do they have at home? Do they have the appropriate space to set up their workstation and do they need any adjustments to help them work effectively? Any health and safety questions that would ordinarily be carried out if an individual were working onsite, should also be asked when they work at home.

Ensure that the new starter has all the necessary information they need to log into the company intranet. Do they have the correct access rights, log ins and password? Do they know who to speak to in IT support if they have any problems? The easier the first day starts the better it is for all concerned. There’s nothing more stressful than starting a new job and spending the whole day on the phone to IT support trying to get things sorted out. If there are going to be hiccups, reassure them and let them know that it is ok.

An orientation schedule for the first two or three days of work is also helpful.

Step 3:

Induction:

The key to a successful start rests on the induction. As you are probably not available face to face right now, use video conferencing to communicate with the new starter. Seeing a friendly face will help them feel at ease as they settle in to their new position.

Set out the days agenda. What should they expect? When should they take lunch? Is there a regular time for team updates? .

Draw up an iduction timetable for their first week and, if needed, book time with any or all of the following:

Senior Team:

To give an overview of the company, its vision, achievements and goals

The Smaller Working Team:

To see who they will work with and interact with on a daily basis. More of that in step 4

HR:

To discuss company policies and procedures, benefits, health and safety etc…

Finance:

To check payroll processes including payroll timelines, expense claims and any other financial benefit queries

IT:

To ensure data security, permitted software lists, shared passwords, security practices, antivirus and malware updates, where emails and files can be stored etc.

Step 4:

Introducing the Team:

Introduce your new colleague to as many people as possible in the first week. Sometimes it’s easier to do this informally or in short one- on-ones and at other times, it is very helpful to see everyone together. If you have any videos or photos of the office showing how it would usually be, share those.

Add them to any WhatsApp, LinkedIn, or Facebook groups that your company may have, to help them feel integrated. Invite them to any social get togethers.

Ensure the line manager is available to make contact on the morning your new person starts. An initial call is a great way to break the ice and set out the plan for the day and week.

“Onboarding virtually and speaking to a new team via MS Teams can feel very strange. It’s mainly because I’ve never met them, and so each time we speak virtually, I feel as though strangers are talking to me as I have missed out on the team dynamics before lockdown.”

“It’s been tricky battling the isolation and lack of social interaction as all employees are working from home until next year. The support I was offered was really appreciated. Unfortunately, there isn’t much that can be done, as this is the current world we work in. Some weeks are better than others, and I’m learning to reframe my outlook. But the best thing that they can do is let me tell them if I am struggling in any way.“

Letting your new employee know that it is ok to feel a bit flustered at the beginning isn’t a bad thing, especially as we adapt to a new way of working.

Step 5:

Explain the Team Culture and Manage their Expectations:

Manage expectations by letting your new recruit know how work will be assessed and when reviews will take place. How often will you update with them with their progress or let them update you? Schedule these times in your diaries. Initially, updates should be daily with an overall recap at the end of each week, but it is useful to decide what kinds of subjects you will cover to keep them clear and concise.

Prepare a skills checklist and arrange for any training necessary.

Find out how they work and how they need or like to be managed.

Do you have team updates in addition to any other arrangements, and if they are asked to attend, what do they need to prepare for those?

How should they deal with any queries they may have? Do you share a task calendar or have a shared project management tool? Do you use instant messaging for urgent queries?

Step 6:

Communicate and Ask for Feedback:

And finally, make sure you communicate and collaborate regularly. Ask for feedback on how the remote onboarding process is working and if there are any suggestions or recommendations for improvement. Being asked for feedback will not only help the new starter feel valued and believe their opinion counts, but will also help you the next time you onboard a new starter remotely.

How to Start a Faceless YouTube Channel Today Without Showing Up!

Published

January 29, 2026

JobDoor Team

The idea of starting a YouTube channel excites many people.
But the moment you think about showing your face on camera, the excitement often turns into stress.

You may be thinking:

“I’m not confident on camera.”
“I don’t like being recognized.”
“I don’t have the right setup or confidence.”
“Is it even possible to succeed without showing my face?”

Yes. It is not only possible—it is common.

Faceless YouTube channels are growing faster than ever. Many successful creators earn consistently without ever appearing on screen. They focus on ideas, structure, and value, not appearances.

This guide is written for someone who knows nothing about faceless YouTube channels. No experience. No technical background. No confidence required.

By the end of this post, you will understand:

What a faceless YouTube channel really is
Why it works so well for beginners
A clear 6-step system to start today
How to stay calm, consistent, and in control
How to grow and monetize without pressure

Let’s begin—slowly and clearly.

What Is a Faceless YouTube Channel?

A faceless YouTube channel is exactly what it sounds like.

You create and upload videos without showing your face.

Instead of your face, videos use:

Voice-over narration
Stock videos or images
Screen recordings
Animations
Slides or visuals

The focus is on:
👉 Information, storytelling, or explanation

Not on who you are—but on what you deliver.

Why Faceless YouTube Channels Are Perfect for Beginners?

For beginners, faceless channels remove many common fears.

Key Benefits:

No camera anxiety
No need for makeup or setup
More privacy
Easier consistency
Focus on content quality

Think of it like writing a book instead of performing on stage.

Both are powerful.
One just feels calmer.

Step 0: The Right Mindset Before You Start:

Before we talk about steps, let’s talk about mindset.

Most people fail not because YouTube is hard—but because they expect too much, too fast.

Here’s a healthier mindset:

You are learning a skill
Progress matters more than perfection
Small steps compound over time

You do not need:

Confidence today
Perfect videos
Viral ideas

You need:

A clear system
Patience
Consistency

This guide gives you the system.

Step 1: Choose Your Faceless YouTube Niche

The first step in the image is Choose Your Niche.

A niche is simply:
👉 The main topic your channel focuses on.

Good Faceless YouTube Niches:

Beginner-friendly options include:

Educational content
Facts and explanations
Tech tutorials
Health and wellness tips
Finance basics
Motivation and storytelling
Reviews and comparisons

How to Choose the Right Niche?

Ask yourself:

Can I learn about this steadily?
Are people already watching this content?
Can this be monetized later?

If the answer is “yes” to all three, move forward.

Do not overthink this step.
You can refine later.

Step 2: Research Content That People Actually Want

The second step in the image is Research Content.

This is where many beginners feel stuck—but it’s simpler than it sounds.

Simple Content Research Method:

Open YouTube
Type your topic in the search bar
Look at:
- Suggestions
- Popular videos
- Common questions

These are real searches by real people.

Your Goal Here:

You are not copying.
You are understanding demand.

Ask:

What questions keep repeating?
What problems are people trying to solve?

That’s your content direction.

Step 3: Write Scripts or Outsource

The image clearly mentions Write Scripts or Outsource.

Let’s remove fear here.

A script is not a movie script.

It’s simply:
👉 What you’re going to say in the video.

Simple Script Structure for Beginners:

Use this format:

Hook – Why this matters
Problem – What people struggle with
Solution – Step-by-step explanation
Closing – Simple takeaway

You don’t need fancy words.
You need clarity.

Can You Outsource Scripts?

Yes—but only after you understand the basics.
In the beginning, writing yourself helps you learn faster.

Step 4: Edit or Outsource Videos

This step scares many beginners—but it shouldn’t.

Editing for faceless channels is often simpler than camera videos.

Common Faceless Video Formats:

Voice-over + stock clips
Text + images
Screen recording + narration
Slides + background music

Beginner Advice:

Start simple.

Your first goal is:
👉 Clear audio + readable visuals

You can outsource editing later once you understand the flow.

Step 5: Upload and Optimize Your Videos

This is where SEO matters—but calmly.

The image says Upload & Optimize Videos.

What “Optimize” Means:

Optimization means:

Using the right title
Writing a clear description
Adding relevant tags

That’s it.

Beginner Optimization Checklist:

Title answers a question
Description explains the video clearly
Thumbnail is clean and readable

Avoid:

Clickbait promises
Overloading keywords
Stressing over perfection

Consistency beats cleverness.

Step 6: Grow and Monetize Your Faceless Channel

The final step is Grow & Monetize Your Channel.

This does not happen overnight.

And that’s okay.

How Faceless Channels Grow?

Regular uploads
Helpful content
Clear niche focus

Growth feels slow at first.
Then one day—it isn’t.

Common Monetization Methods?

YouTube ads
Affiliate links
Digital products
Services
Sponsorships (later)

Focus on value first.
Money follows trust.

A Simple 30-Day Starter Plan:

Here’s a calm plan you can follow.

Week 1

Choose niche
Study similar channels
Write 3 simple scripts

Week 2

Create 2–3 videos
Learn basic editing
Upload consistently

Week 3

Improve audio and clarity
Research better titles
Stay consistent

Week 4

Review performance
Adjust content
Keep going

No rush.
No panic.

How to Track Progress?

Do not track everything.

Track only:

Upload consistency
Watch time trend
Viewer feedback

Ignore:

Subscriber count in early days
Comparing with big channels
Daily view checks

Progress is quiet at first.

Common Mistakes Beginners Make:

Avoid these:

Changing niches too often
Uploading randomly
Over-editing
Expecting fast income
Quitting too early

Most successful faceless channels win by not quitting.

Why Faceless YouTube Is a Long-Term Asset?

A faceless channel:

Grows quietly
Builds authority
Creates passive income potential
Reduces personal pressure

It’s not flashy.
It’s sustainable.

And sustainability always wins.

Final Thoughts:

You do not need confidence to start.

You gain confidence by starting.

A faceless YouTube channel allows you to:

Create without fear
Learn without pressure
Grow without exposure stress

Follow the steps.
Move slowly.
Stay consistent.

Your next step?

Choose your niche.
Write your first simple script.
And begin today.

Because the best time to start—quietly and confidently—is now.

How to Grow a Facebook Page in 2026: A Simple, Proven, Beginner-Friendly Guide

Published

5 days ago

January 26, 2026

JobDoor Team

If you’ve ever created a Facebook page with excitement, posted for a few days, then slowly stopped—this is for you.

You might be thinking:

“Growing a Facebook page takes too much time.”
“Nobody sees my posts anyway.”
“I tried before and failed.”

You’re not lazy.
You’re not late.
You’re not bad at this.

The truth is simple: most people fail because they never had a clear system.

In 2026, growing a Facebook page is still possible. In fact, it’s easier if you know what actually works now, not what worked years ago.

In this guide, you’ll learn:

The right mindset to grow a Facebook page without stress
How Facebook really works in 2026 (in plain English)
A step-by-step system to grow followers consistently
What to post, how often, and why
How to track progress without feeling overwhelmed

No technical jargon.
No fake promises.
Just a clear, calm path forward.

Let’s start where most guides don’t.

First: Fix Your Mindset About Growing a Facebook Page

Before tactics, tools, or tips—let’s talk mindset.

Most beginners believe:

Growth should be fast
Every post must go viral
Big pages are lucky

None of that is true.

The Reality of Facebook Growth in 2026

Growth is slow before it’s fast
Most posts won’t explode—and that’s okay
Facebook rewards consistency, not perfection

Think of your Facebook page like a plant.
You don’t pull it every day to check growth.
You water it. You wait. It grows.

Once this mindset clicks, everything becomes easier.

How Facebook Works in 2026 (Explained Simply)

To understand how to grow a Facebook page, you need to understand what Facebook wants.

Facebook’s goal is simple:

Keep users on the platform longer.

So Facebook promotes content that:

Gets reactions (likes, loves)
Gets comments
Gets shares
Keeps people watching (especially videos)

This is controlled by the algorithm of Facebook.

What This Means for You

If your content:

Starts conversations
Feels relatable
Is easy to consume

Facebook shows it to more people, even if your page is small.

You don’t need followers first.
You need engagement first.

Step 1: Choose the Right Purpose for Your Facebook Page

One big mistake beginners make?
Creating a page without clarity.

Ask yourself one question:

“Why should someone follow my Facebook page?”

Your answer should fit into one of these categories:

Education (tips, facts, how-to)
Entertainment (memes, stories, humor)
Inspiration (quotes, life lessons)
Updates (news, niche content)
Personal brand (your journey, learning, opinions)

👉 One page = one main theme

Confused pages don’t grow.
Clear pages do.

Step 2: Set Up Your Facebook Page the Right Way

Before posting anything, fix the basics.

Optimize Your Page (Very Important)

Make sure you have:

A clear profile picture (logo or face)
A simple cover photo with a message
A short, clear bio explaining:
- Who the page is for
- What they’ll get

Example bio:

“Daily simple tips to grow online skills & confidence.”

This builds instant trust.

Step 3: What to Post on a Facebook Page in 2026

This is where most people get stuck.

So let’s make it simple.

The 4 Content Types That Grow Facebook Pages Fast

1. Short Videos (Reels)

Facebook is heavily pushing reels.

Post:

Tips
Facts
Before/after
Quick explanations

Best length: 15–45 seconds

2. Relatable Text Posts

Simple text still works.

Examples:

Questions
Opinions
Short stories

Example:

“Nobody tells you this about starting online…”

3. Image + Value Posts

Use one image and strong text.

Great for:

Quotes
Tips
Lessons

4. Shareable Content

Content people want to send to friends.

Think:

“This is so true”
“I needed this today”

Shares = free growth.

Step 4: How Often Should You Post on a Facebook Page?

This is where fear kicks in.

Relax.
You don’t need to post 10 times a day.

Beginner-Friendly Posting Schedule

1 post per day OR
4–5 posts per week

Consistency > frequency.

It’s better to post 4 times every week for 6 months
than 20 times in one week and quit.

Step 5: The Simple Content Formula That Works

Every good Facebook post follows this flow:

Hook – Stop the scroll
Value – Teach, relate, or entertain
Engagement – Ask a question or invite reaction

Example:

Hook:
“Most people fail on Facebook because of this…”

Value:
Explain one simple reason.

Engagement:
“Do you agree? Yes or No?”

That’s it.

Step 6: How to Increase Facebook Followers Organically

Let’s talk about how to increase Facebook followers without ads.

Proven Organic Growth Methods

1. Comment Marketing (Very Powerful)

Comment on:

Big pages in your niche
Trending posts
Viral content

Not spam.
Value comments.

People click profiles.
People follow.

2. Share Posts in Relevant Groups

Find Facebook groups related to your niche.

Helpful posts
Educational content

Never drop links blindly.

3. Invite Engagers

Facebook allows you to:

Invite people who like your post
Even if they don’t follow your page

This is underrated and effective.

Step 7: Avoid These Common Facebook Page Mistakes

Most pages die because of these errors:

Posting without purpose
Copy-pasting content without changes
Focusing only on followers, not engagement
Giving up too early

Remember:

Growth comes after consistency, not before it.

Step 8: Simple Weekly Facebook Growth Routine

You don’t need to be online all day.

30–40 Minutes Daily Is Enough

Daily

Post once
Reply to comments

Weekly

Check insights
See what worked
Repeat similar posts

That’s a system.
Simple. Calm. Effective.

Step 9: How to Track Facebook Page Growth (Without Stress)

You don’t need tools or spreadsheets.

Use Facebook Page Insights.

Track only 3 things:

Reach
Engagement
Follower growth

Ignore vanity metrics.
Focus on improvement.

If one post performs well—do more like it.

How Long Does It Take to Grow a Facebook Page?

Let’s be honest.

First 30 days: Slow
2–3 months: Small wins
6 months: Momentum

Most people quit in the first month.
That’s why growth feels rare.

But it isn’t.

It’s just patient.

Final Motivation: This Time, Do It Differently

You don’t need:

Fancy tools
Paid ads
A big team

To grow a Facebook page in 2026, you need:

One clear theme
One post a day
One simple system

Now you know how to grow a Facebook page,
how Facebook works,
and how to increase Facebook followers step by step.

Don’t wait for motivation.
Start with action.

Post once today.
Then show up again tomorrow.

That’s how pages grow.

How to Work Effectively from Home [10 Practical Tips]

Published

3 weeks ago

January 10, 2026

JobDoor Team

Remote work has become a norm in today’s professional world, whether you work from home occasionally or full-time, having a solid strategy can enhance productivity and maintain work-life balance. This guide covers practical tips and strategies to help you work efficiently from the comfort of your home.

1. Create a Dedicated Workspace:

A dedicated workspace is essential for fostering focus and professionalism. While not everyone has the luxury of a separate office, setting aside a specific area for work—away from distractions—is crucial.

Choose Your Spot Wisely: Avoid working from your bed or couch. Instead, opt for a table or desk where you can sit upright and organise your tools.
Keep It Professional: Use this space exclusively for work to reinforce a psychological boundary between personal and professional life.

If you’re employed, ensure your employer provides the necessary tools, such as laptops, remote access credentials, and IT support. For self-employed individuals, investing in quality equipment is vital for smooth operations.

2. Adopt a Professional Dress Code:

Your attire significantly influences your mindset. Dressing appropriately—even at home—can boost confidence and productivity.

Dress for Success: Wear clothes suitable for a professional setting, especially when participating in video calls.
Stay Comfortable Yet Professional: Strike a balance between comfort and work-appropriate attire.

3. Ensure Reliable Internet Connectivity:

A stable internet connection is non-negotiable for remote job. Slow speeds can derail productivity and create unnecessary frustration.

Upgrade Your Speed: Choose an internet plan that supports your work needs, especially if multiple devices share the bandwidth.
Use Ethernet or Position Wisely: Ethernet connections provide a stable alternative to Wi-Fi. If you’re relying on Wi-Fi, position yourself close to the router to optimise signal strength.

4. Communicate Boundaries with Housemates:

Setting clear boundaries with family or housemates prevents interruptions.

Set Expectations: Inform them of your work hours and emphasise the importance of an undisturbed workspace.
Use Visual Signals: Consider placing a “Do Not Disturb” sign or closing the door to signal when you’re in work mode.

5. Minimize Distractions:

Home environments often present distractions that can impede focus.

Identify Your Distractions: Pinpoint common distractions, such as your phone, television, or pets.
Create a Distraction-Free Zone: Keep unnecessary devices out of reach and choose a workspace with minimal disruptions.

6. Set Clear Daily Goals:

Having a structured plan ensures that you stay on track throughout the day.

Start with a To-Do List: Write down your goals, deliverables, and a plan of action at the beginning of your workday.
Review Progress Regularly: Check in with yourself or your team to ensure alignment and address challenges promptly.

7. Incorporate Social Interactions:

Working from home can sometimes feel isolating, so staying connected with others is important.

Schedule Interactions: Plan video calls, lunch dates, or virtual hangouts to maintain a sense of connection.
Join Online Communities: Engage in professional or hobby-related groups to broaden your social circle.

8. Master Time Management:

Efficiently managing your time ensures that you remain productive amidst distractions.

Use Time Blocks: Allocate specific time slots for tasks, allowing breaks in between.
Leverage Productivity Tools: Tools like calendars and task management apps can help you stay organised.

9. Take Regular Breaks:

Continuous work without breaks can lead to burnout. Incorporating pauses helps recharge your mind and body.

Practice Movement: Use breaks to stretch, meditate, or engage in light exercise like yoga.
Follow the Pomodoro Technique: Work in focused intervals (e.g., 25 minutes), followed by short breaks.

10. End Your Day with Reflection:

Conclude your workday by reviewing accomplishments and unwinding.

Reflect on Progress: Spend 10–15 minutes assessing your achievements and setting goals for the next day.
Decompress Mindfully: Transition from work to personal time with relaxation techniques or hobbies.

Final Words:

Working from home offers flexibility but requires discipline and intentionality to remain productive. By implementing these strategies, you can optimise your remote work experience and achieve professional success without compromising your well-being. Start making these changes today and transform your home into an efficient workspace.
