One thing my brother told me I should do right away is to open an LLC, to limit personal liability. Where can I do to learn more about LLCs, to decide if this is the right way to go, and how to do it correctly? I’ve been thinking a great deal about beginning a small home writing/editing business.

I agree on 1-4. Am still building up that confidence and skills. Especially saying no to other people who need help in design. But anyway, I've got a question to add: How to juggle time between full-time work and freelance? (I read it somewhere that as a starter in freelance, we still need to have a full time job first, just to cover up the bills until we have the confidence to go solo) great article! I agree on 1-4.

I am re-reading it. Here's another question. I am also going to surf around for answers, but you have a very practical view of things, so I figured I'd ask you, too. What is the difference between a Sole Proprietorship (which I had decided upon) and a DBA, (which I just read about and confused me a bit). @Scott – That’s a fantastic article you posted.

Great information. I really agree with 2 and 3 and just figured out 4 the hard way. Thanks for the article. FYI don't know if it was on purpose or not but submit button for comment doesn't show up in IE 6. I wish I had found this article a year ago. Great information.

There is nothing that says that you have to form a LLC or an S-Corp in the state that you live in. For example forming an LLC in Nevada has better tax benefits then filing one in Florida. @Craig you are right it is $149 + State Fees I meant to say that in the post but I forgot.

The point about going from low to high paying jobs is good. That can be a tough idea for anyone, and it helps to know that you plan to go higher the longer you are around and the better you get. If you are not thinking that from the beginning you can get trapped working in the small, time-draining jobs and clients. Nice post Mason. The point about going from low to high paying jobs is good.

Networking is very important as a beginning freelancer. One should try to make as many friends and colleagues in the field as possible, you never know when someone has runoff work so keep your name in front of them as much as possible. Great tips!
