SCORE One for New Freelancers with Start-up Guide

From Shannon Belew, About.com Guide   May 13, 2008

For many freelancers going out on their own for the first time, the idea of starting a business can seem overwhelming. Afterall, it's not just about the services you are offering prospective clients. It's also about setting competitive rates, creating a marketing plan, selling new clients on your services, paying SE taxes and handling the day-to-day general business activities. Now, there's a little extra advice available from established business mentors. Beginning this week, SCORE is offering a “How-To Workbooks Giveaway." You will receive two free workbooks on starting and structuring a business.

How to Really Start Your Own Business covers topics important to aspiring freelancers, including business plans, finance options and infrastructure support. New content covers the latest on launching a business website, attracting visitors to the site and developing an online media kit. How to Really Structure Your Business outlines the options in choosing a business structure, which affects operating efficiency and tax obligations. The new edition offers information on selecting a state to incorporate a business and how this can affect your marketing options.
