| Should I change the status of my single member LLC to S-corp? Posted: 01 Nov 2018 04:42 PM PDT Hi, I filed for a single member llc a few months back. I'm the only member and it's currently taxed as a `disregarded entity.` We have <$50k net income and I pay myself $0 -- I'd like to keep the money in the LLC as I am saving up to potentially hire someone. Out of all things, I don't particularly like having to give clients a W-9 that refers to my business as a "sole proprietorship," which is what you're supposed to do under a SMLLC disregarded entity. I've also heard for liability it's nice to elect to be taxed as an S-corp. Does anyone have insight on this? This stuff is incredibly confusing to me. Thank you. [link] [comments]  |
| Constantly harassed by phone scammers Posted: 01 Nov 2018 10:24 AM PDT Thanks to this sub I learned that yes, the Google listing threat is a scam. Now, I've gone through the process of removing myself more than once, but they won't stop calling. I think it's more than one company calling, but I swear I've spoken to the same persona few times. I've tried everything: 1. Told them to never call me (nicely) 2. Told them to never call me (not so nicely) 3. I even pretended not to be a business so they'd leave me alone The worst part? As soon as I ask to be removed they HANG UP even though they were more than chatty going through their speel before I said remove me. Has anyone had success getting them to leave you alone?

| Posted: 01 Nov 2018 07:49 PM PDT It's come to that time for me to move on to bigger and better things. I'm looking to sell my company. It is a reasonably successful scuba company in Hawaii. Where do people list businesses for sale? How would I market it? I've listed it with industry classifieds, but is there a bigger small business "craigslist" or something? [link] [comments]  |

| Need advice regarding customer subscription management Posted: 02 Nov 2018 12:11 AM PDT We're a small magazine with a circulation of 10K subscribers. We'd like the ability for our customers to visit our site for self-service options like address changes and subscription renewals. We're also looking for advice on how to streamline our process. Currently we use Infusionsoft but it doesn't really seem built for our needs. Whether an order comes in through mail, internet, or over the phone, we manually input them into the customer's record within Infusionsoft. So if a subscription ends at issue 100 and a customers renews for 5 issues, we must manually change their end issue status to 105. Ideally we'd need software or a service that unites all fronts. It'd be great if a customer could access their account directly and view their subscription status. It'd save a lot of time if online orders attached themselves to the customer's account and auto-added things like # of issues remaining in the subscription. A lot of solutions I'm seeing are particularly pricey and don't seem to cover all the bases. And although we only have 10K active subscribers, our subscriber database contains about 45K in total so a lot of services are priced in a tiered way that assumes our income is much greater than it is. Would anyone here know of a service or DIY approach that could function as an online customer database with self-service / webstore options? Features like built-in marketing campaigns are a great bonus but right now we're looking for the most cost-effective approach. Thank you for reading! [link] [comments]  |
| The importance of an email list... and actually using it. Posted: 01 Nov 2018 05:43 AM PDT TLDR; We started out unprepared dreamers who earnt almost nothing. Started learning about email lists and made some money, but more importantly continue to learn how to improve. I have a small online business based in Australia. I would prefer not to give too many details as I don't want to get doxxed but some of the characteristics of it are: • Sells digital products • Is a grudge purchase • Is a legal requirement for businesses • Not something that most businesses know they need You may be able to work it out I guess if you go through my history and do google searches or something, but please don't! Background I went to university as a mature age student while raising three kids as a single parent. I also worked full time for the majority of my degree. I was lucky and even though I had no experience I landed a sought after role in the industry in my first year of uni and they even contributed to my HECs bill (student loans). I then moved on to another sought after role, which I have no idea how I got! I write a great resume I guess but on my first day I sat in the car freaking out that they accidentally hired the wrong person and it was going to be very awkward. Apparently I was wrong and they meant to hire me, I stayed there for several years making a lot of contacts in both private and government departments. I was exposed to some really awesome things and got to build a huge skill set... not only writing documents but leading working parties, helping write legislation and organising events often with VIP key speakers. Unfortunately my old boss retired and a new one came in who hated me on sight! Then I travelled to SEA with my kids in 2016, when I came back I was sitting in a meeting and was like this is such bullshit. That was when I decided that I wanted to quit my job and start my own consulting business. But I had a couple of issues:
As luck would have it less than six weeks later I met a guy in a pub... we were both there to see Choir Boys and wouldn't you know it... he knows internets stuffs! (This is getting long there is a link to our blog in my post history if you want more details) So basically I quit my job! People kept asking if I had won the lotto or whatever... but nope. Just had a heap of savings and a lot of hope. The first couple of months I probably took it too easy. I was really lazy. I think I was actually traumatised about how my previous job ended up. It was completely toxic to the point that one day I was walking past someones office that I was friendly with but not very close and she said hi and I burst into tears. The ugly tears. It was awful! We didn't have a plan really which was a huge mistake. I thought I knew what I wanted in my head but in reality it wasn't going to work. I had all these ideas but no cohesiveness to them. I wrote products that I wanted people to have, not what they would actually buy. So I wasted a lot of time writing things that have never been purchased! We probably have 60 products and have only sold about 10 of them! And we have just discovered a product that perhaps we should be selling but haven't even considered it! Main issues I've now identified: • No plans – I had a to do list but no 'do this because of this reason and with the goal of this • Spent too much time on stuff like logo • No clear idea of niche – on our website for the first 6 months there was the option to have me come out and do stuff onsite even tho everything else was focused at digital products • I didn't make templates for the documents to start with, a lot of them have very similar content. And then when I did I didn't check them properly so when I found an error in one it meant going in and checking 40 other documents. Doh! • I didn't use the networks I had in the beginning because I was afraid of failure and what people would think. Even now I don't have my business on my LinkedIn and most of my friends don't know I even have this business! (I'm still not brave) • Didn't research enough what our needs were for the website, and ended up with a beautiful but clunky website that was difficult to edit. • Didn't really think about how customers would find us, even though I knew that my potential customers were often not internet savvy and didn't want what I was selling • I had rose tinted glasses on and refused to do hard sell stuff like tell them how much trouble they could get into I wanted to keep it positive. So for the first 18 months I did it kind of tough. I made like 10 sales if I was lucky, ran out of savings, went to work in a call centre for about two months. Holy shit balls I hated it! But I still had no idea what I was doing, and I still didn't want to use my networking contacts. The guy I met out that night had by this time quit his job to help me out and start his own thing that he had wanted to do for a while. So we put together a cold call script and started calling businesses to tell them about the business and ask if it was okay for us to contact them in future. Most said no to buying something, but the majority were okay with us contacting them again. But that is where we left it. I had not even heard of having an email list at that stage even though I myself was part of heaps of email lists that I had signed up for over time... I just didn't realise it!! I thought we would just call them every 3 months and see if they had changed their mind about needing the documents. Basically I let the business slide after that. Like I actually didn't even look at it until February this year. We spent the last 6 months of last year working on my partners project, selling everything to travel and going on a couple of holidays. The Sudden Realisation In about March this year we realised we had about 2000 email addresses of businesses in Australia but weren't doing anything with them. So after much fart arsing about we designed a one email campaign that we sent out in March. We were sooooo excited when March ended with three sales totalling AU$1224. By this time we were living in Penang so that pretty much paid for our monthly expenses! We were like ohhh this is so easy. Why didn't we think of it before? We can do this. Then in April we did the same thing. One email to the same 2000 email addresses. We were sort of disappointed when we again made three sales but they only totalled $800. By this time I realised that we finally had a way to get in front of people without having to do the hard sell, totally worked for sales aversion me! So I started doing more research about email lists and we started to do more to get people on the email list and not try and sell to them straight away. What we did: • Offered a landing page with a couple of our basic products for free and did some google and facebook advertising where they had to supply their email address • Paid a couple of people to make a lot of cold calls just to ask them if we could email them some information about our products and were verbally given an email address • Contacted 2nd and 3rd connections on LinkedIn to ask them if I could email them about our products or directed them to the landing page as described above We ended up with a lot of emails! Like a lot. About 6000. We spent all May working on getting the email list up. It was time consuming, but remember everything else was already done on the website and products. We were really rejuvenated until we sent another one email campaign out at the end of May and got one sale. We started to question whether we had wasted our time. So I read more and more and more. We came up with a strategy: • Send three emails over the course of a week. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. • Email 1 is informational, email 2 is a scare tactic, and email 3 is positive and offers a solution to email 2. We also offered a moderate discount of 20% • We sent it to 4000 random contacts over two weeks so we could try and see if there was any trends etc We tried it out for the last 2 weeks in June and wow! The response was amazing! We made 10 sales in the two weeks with total sales of $2623 So yeah we were pretty stoked thinking how awesome we were. Then July happened. We were busy. We got distracted. We had people come and visit us in Penang before we left for house sitting we had secured in Wales. We had plans to send an email campaign every week but it didn't happen. We ended up only sending our 3 email campaign to 2000 contacts in the last week of July. We made 2 sales coming to $760. We were happy with the amount but disappointed with only 2 sales. The day before our visitors arrived I was like I wish we had just bit more extra cash. So we sent out a 24 hr Flash Sale email to 2000 randoms on our email list that was meant to be 50% off... One person purchased but they forgot to put the code in so the sale was $600. I really was umming and ahhing about whether to contact them, but decided if they contacted us we would refund them the difference. They never contacted us. And unfortunately in August and September more life happened! We travelled to the UK for our house sit and hung about for two weeks checking out the area. Then the renewal came up for hosting and stuff and we decided it would be the perfect opportunity to rebuild the whole website and find something better suited to us. Unfortunately our blog renewal came at almost the same time. We seriously under-estimated the time to rebuild the business website, and also migrate the blog from one theme to another. But we also were able to add another 4000 contacts to our email list. We literally had no website to sell our stuff on for all August and September. For October we came up with a new strategy that we are very happy with, but know there is some room for improvement. • We sent 3 campaigns in October, to total 5500ish email addresses • Each campaign is basically the same but just sent to different sectors, so just a few adjustments • Changed to a 4 email campaign. Monday, Wednesday, Friday like previously, but then we added the 2nd Monday as our Flash Sale with 40% off • The 2nd Monday sale email is only sent to those who opened the 3rd email • We personally emailed anyone who added a product to the shopping cart but didn't progress further Mistakes were made: • Doh... we stuffed up when the coupon code finished thankfully a customer emailed us and we were able to rectify it very quickly Our results were: • Nine sales totalling $2558 • We had our first return customer for a different product (This is a huge deal) • We had 3 customers add a product to the shopping cart but bail out. After our email to them we got 2/3 sales • We got 0 unsubscribes and for a couple of emails we got a 40% open rate!! Where to next in 2019? • Just keep engaged with our list more by being consistent without annoying them too much • Offer less discounts in the future • Next year we aim to offer a bigger freebie where we give them a brief checklist to complete to see where they are sitting legally, then hopefully go omg I need their docx • Start a refer a friend type program – perhaps get a $20 gift card for every referal • Build social media that is not focused on what we do (but is kinda similar – eg facebook group about funny cats but sells cat clothes) but may provide amusement for people and then just use that as a vehicle to get our name out there (if anyone has ideas on how to build a group up from scratch that would be great!) • Goal is to make 1 sale per week for 2019 (hopefully more but you know ) Our Stats Average Open Rates: 28.6% Average Click Rates: 1.8% Click rates are low for how high the open rate is, so something to work on. I guess our email subjects are great but our content isn't so great? So this turned out to be super long, congratulations to anyone who got through it all. I really wanted to share this journey for a couple of reasons including sharing hints and tips for how we went from $0 to a couple of grand in a month, and not to give up! We have accidentally started another business recently so we will be using what we learnt with this business to hopefully get some immediate traction. Totally different sectors and not B2B so it will be interesting to see how we go. We at least now know what an email list is, and how it can benefit us! If anyone has any questions I would be happy to answer them. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Nov 2018 09:10 PM PDT just wanted to post an update for what happened for the trouble client from my previous post: the TL:DR: terms we agreed to for painting the house are impossible to keep because of both the contractor's sloppy work and the homeowner's insistence on moving in. plus the pig is grabbing all my plastic that im using to cover things. the advice was basically to speak to the owner and the contractor who subbed me, have frank and polite conversations with both about the scope of the project and how changing that meant changing the compensation. So I spoke with the contractor first, and he completely understood. Immediately told me to send him an updated estimate with the increased labor and materials outlined. He also discussed with me his own difficulties with the homeowner, and how she was fighting with him about the range hood and how it wasn't level with the floor, despite them having a conversation about it being either the floor or the ceiling it was level with, and she chose the floor. But I digress. She then asked for a phone conversation, which we eventually had. The homeowner told me she didn't appreciate me changing the terms on her. To which I replied that I didn't. And back and forth we went, with her refusing to acknowledge her part in the problem. In the end she did not want to pay, but the contractor submitted an invoice to her for the amount I said I was owed and he cut me a check. She has not paid him yet, but the check is deposited in my account so I feel like I can get some closure on this issue. What I've learned: As someone said in the previous post, I need to start getting contracts signed. I would have rather finished this job, and collected the full amount. But failing that, I would have liked to have been able to refer back to a contract that she signed that stated that the home would be vacant at the time of the work being done. I also learned that some problems probably can't be avoided. Would I have been able to tell that the original contractor would not have done all the work he said he was going to do prior to me starting? Or that when he said it was paint ready, after I approached him about it, that in fact it was not, and that the sister would bring the work to a halt because of it? I'm not sure a contract would have addressed this. What I will know to look for in the future (and between then and now actually dodged a bullet on another job), is a homeowner who is either uncompromising or unwilling to negotiate on timelines. If a homeowner is trying to schedule several different contractors, then they are more than likely going to fail, and I'm going to eat shit because of it. Thank you, /r/smallbusiness. Your advice helped me greatly and I hope someone else can learn from this situation. [link] [comments]  |

| In-kind donations/event sponsorships - ever paid off for your business? Posted: 01 Nov 2018 09:06 PM PDT I run a tiny corporate videography and photography business (myself, plus subs and second shooters when I need it), and often get asked to cover and produce videos/photos at non profit events and other things like that, with the pitch that I'll be listed as one of those sponsors on the brochure/website. You can't write off service donation on taxes, so that's not a plus. They give me "free" access to the event, so supposedly I can network and make valuable connections, but I'm shooting 80% of the time and not chatting up VIPs...when I do have a second, it seems like VIPs aren't really pumped to chat with the hired "help" with a camera around their neck, and I'm not on my social game when I'm thinking about getting shots. I doubt people are gonna see my logo on a brochure of sponsors and say, "that's the guy I want to film my company's video!" I suppose being a pro and doing a great job will put me in contact with a few more people in the org's board who interacted with me and liked the work, and maybe at the businesses they are involved with, I'll get a referral lead?? I got semi-pressured into a couple of these gigs this month and didn't have a great excuse to not do them, so I did em. But I want to be prepared with some solid thoughts before I accept another of these jobs. Is this a worthy investment of time? What are your experiences? I always see all these companies sponsoring events, but what does that get them? Maybe it's larger companies with money to spare, and actual tax write-offs to gain from monetary investments. I'm quite different from that. It does not seem like great advertisement. [link] [comments]  |

| Is a used car business be profitable? What kind of start up costs would I need? Posted: 02 Nov 2018 01:59 AM PDT My passion is working on vehicles. I dont do it currently as a career, but I would really like to start my own business maybe flipping cars. Buying broken down ones or ones at auction. Fixing them and re-selling. It would allow me to pursue one of my passions. But the truth is I struggle financially now. But have great credit. Im wondering if I wanted to pursue this, what could I use as an estimate for start up cost? what kind of licensing/insurance would i need? Could I get a business loan for something like this? I'm thinking just a small hometown car lot. I'm not looking to get huge. Purchase or rent a lot with a small building/garage, and maybe have an inventory of 20 cars? I'm not looking to get rich. Just support my family and be able to pursue a passion. [link] [comments]  |
| Started an LLC this year, but never started business, best option for taxes?

| Need advice for a website business Posted: 01 Nov 2018 09:56 PM PDT First off, I love this sub and the information that the community provides here. I am a web developer and I built a website from scratch that I am very proud of in a niche industry that I would like to pursue in making it grow but my issue is that I do not have the capital to put towards marketing and growing the site any other way than organically. I have it completely built and linked to email marketing and social media. I was thinking I could possibly bring on a partner who would either a) be willing to help with publishing content or b) invest money to use towards marketing materials and advertising to help the content I have grow. Which idea is the better idea? Idea A helps grow the site organically with more content, and B would grow the site faster pushing the content I already have. No matter which way I go, is there anything I need to do legally with my website to make it legit as a company? Right now it is just myself and my website that I built that I am getting traffic to with hopes and dreams of building it bigger so I can stop working for the man and work for myself. The website does not currently make money. It's all just something I am really interested in. But my hopes are that in the future I will be able to build my social media and email list and do curated blog posts about my niche to make money and or travel for the niche. Looking for business advice, thank you so much! Let me know if there is any information you need to better help me. [link] [comments]  |

| Web designer here. I need to rant. Posted: 01 Nov 2018 10:41 AM PDT I'm going to rant here for a bit because this client is really aggregating me. About 4 months ago she began paying me monthly to manage a site and also build it. There was no build fee as this was back before I updated my pricing structure. Like 7 months before that I built her first site and things were great! But with this second site, from the very beginning, she wanted complete control over everything. From day one she said she'll pick out a theme to use on WordPress so I'm like okay sure let me know if you need help. 3 weeks later she finds a theme and I install it and nothing more, as she says she'll try building it herself and to figure things out. I'm not used to dealing with someone like this so I'm like okay sure if you need any help or have questions just let me know and I'll be happy to assist. Within the course of 2 months she kept mentioning she was running into issues and got right back to her saying tell me what's going on or what you need done and I'll be happy to help. 2 weeks goes by and she send me a drawn out page for the homepage and we talk on the phone about everything she tried to do. In less than a week I fix everything and get things looking how she wants. 1 month goes by and in that timeframe, I asked her once again if she needs me to do anything else. Today I get an email with her basically saying it's been way too long and she's spent to much money on a site that isn't finished. I keep thinking to myself this woman is crazy and is all over the place since she's been trying to build this website by herself. I'm a professional web designer. She's worked with me before and was happy. This time she literally wanted full control and came to me as a last resort for when she couldn't build it how she wanted it. A while back she referred another client and literally wanted full control over how every single page was setup. Literally page drawings of exactly everything. I did all that work too and one day she's like this she is ugly you should be ashamed of this. I was also waiting on content and she didn't realize that half of it was never sent over to me. I was dumbfounded over how she felt as everything was completely micromanaged by her. I had no creative execution whatsoever and felt like I had no room to input what would be best to do for some of the pages and layouts. As a web designer, I literally have never had a client like this and it's been so stressful because she doesn't understand how much she's getting in the way of my usual process. Then she goes and blames it on me for why I site looks really bad when she was the one who drew the layouts and approved of the work once it was done. And then the other site with how she was trying to build it for some reason and complained how it wasn't done yet. Seriously. What the fuck?? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 01 Nov 2018 01:24 PM PDT I'm curious what platform(s) everyone uses for their web/email domain & hosting? I currently use godaddy but I'm really not a fan. I've heard good things about namecheap but I think that's just to register the domain and you still need to host it via wordpress or some other platform. As a matter of principal I try to steer clear of all things google. Is my best bet to piece something together with smaller, niche companies offering a better product or to just suck it up and use godaddy as a one-stop shop? [link] [comments]  |
| Can someone explain taxes to me like I'm an idiot? Posted: 01 Nov 2018 01:22 PM PDT Cause I'm an idiot I'm a sole proprietor LLC, now from what I understand, there are essentially 3 tax rates I'll have to pay: FICA @ 15.2% Federal @ I have no idea % State @ I have no idea % (is it 4.75 in North Carolina?) Do I have to file 4x a year? Form 1040es? Other forms? Or just schedule C with my once a year personal taxes? Or is it that only the FICA is 4x a year and federal and state are once a year? I'm finding so much contracting information out there it's making my head spin. [link] [comments]  |

| Tax question - prepaid account for consultant Posted: 01 Nov 2018 01:55 PM PDT Hello! If I have a client that wants to pay upfront and it's to cover 2 tax cycles, do I report income on the earned revenue for each tax year (basically half of the payment each year)? Or the entire amount front? I understand some basic accounting and I have been paid for services after the fact so I haven't really had to figure out if I'm cash or accrual accounting. Can I choose now? Is one more beneficial than the other? [link] [comments]  |

| Do you have a social media policy in place? Posted: 01 Nov 2018 05:25 PM PDT I'm looking to implement a social media policy for obvious reasons (reputation, avoid embarrassing situations, etc). Do you have one in place and, if so, can you share the general terms of it? Separately, how do you deal with social media posts after an employee departs? For example, let's say you own/manage a custom car paint shop. Your employee might post pictures of their custom paint jobs to their social media that they did while working for you. They may eventually decide to start their own custom car painting business or work for a competitor and quit working for you. What happens then to the pictures? If these paint jobs were done at your company using your resources, do you own the pictures? Is there a policy that can be put in place that the photos must be removed after the person quits? Otherwise, it's easy for your customers to see these photos and you could potentially lose customers. (Feel free to let me know if this is a ridiculous thing to think about.) This hasn't happened to me, but I am curious as I'm sure something similar has happened before. [link] [comments]  |
