As a starter I found this article useful with best practices for the team, tools and processes. It's from Zapier: https://zapier.com/learn/remote-work/how-manage-remote-team/

I guess others can give you lots of information (especially about tracking tasks, fighting procrastination, etc.), but I found that having regular meetings (weekly) if you're in the same area is great for keeping up morale. That is, if your team aren't really introverted, then they may not need so much social contact.

But I'd say either way that it's important to have a regular face-to-face. I think videoconferincing might work here in a pinch if needed.

Holloway is working on a guide on this topic, you might want to read it when it's done. I find their quality of publications quite high so looking forward to this one.
