How can I add wireless functionality to a simple electric motor? (lemmy.ca)

I have one of those basic motor kits you can buy off of Amazon. I was wondering what steps I should take to make it so that I can turn the motor on/off with the press of a button, wirelessly.

I'm still very new, so any information you can offer no matter how basic will probably be useful to me.

Don't forget a flyback diode at the inductive load or your transistor will bacon at midnight.
