Guide to Making the Jump from Part-time Freelancer to Full Time Small Business Owner!

Are you a freelancer? Are you currently working an in house job, while doing freelance work on the side hoping to some day make it your full-time gig? If you are, you should seriously consider starting/establishing yourself as a small business in order to get tax breaks, increased profit and an organized system for earning money.

One of the first things you should do in order to establish yourself as a professional, and get your services out there among the others, is to get a website. I don't mean "blog" I mean professional website, your own domain name, displaying your work, portfolio, services, credentials, etc. Most people are not impressed initially with a blog of your work, sorry to say. While blogs are fantastic, they're not included in what I call a business website.

If you're used to blogs and want complete control over the content on your website while still having a professional web design, you HAVE to check out Websitenabox.com. They offer free hosting, free domain name, exclusive design packages and their own custom software that lets you log in to your site and update/edit/add content and menu items.

Establishing any freelance gig(s) as a small business of some kind is almost always a good idea. Why? Because depending upon the type of small business you establish, you will profit big time at the end of the year for tax season, by doing nothing more than filling out a few forms that establish your freelance work as an actual "business." Also, contrary to what you might think, it is not very hard and well worth the small amount of effort.

It's even easier with websites that offer Books, Kits, Software and Forms
for easy and do-it-yourself business start up forms. Check out their Small Business/Startups Products
