Starting a business is hard. The question, no need to answer here. Are you looking to start a business, for money, or is a hobby? Everywhere, perhaps more so here, there is hey you do........... would you do mine for FREE.
A business structure. TAXES and RISK OF BEING SUED are MONSTERS waiting to eat you alive. Employees? Increased TAXES, RISK OF BEING SUED and PAPERWORK.
Ads and free articles. Typical, based on past experience, not here, but, likely here as well. You discuss placing an ad. Either the person you are talking to or you should say how about an article. Everybody wins.
Oh, I was self employed. You are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The BOSS, the boss is NUTS and people wonder if you scream at the boss why you seem to be talking to yourself. Benefit package. If your work for someone else typically 40-50% possibly more of your income is untaxed benefit package.
Self employed-benefit package is ZERO unless YOU pay for it. Social security,
the largest tax many pay is 7%. Your employer matches what you pay-tax free to you, by the way. Self employed you pay 13%
