Southern Entrepreneurship in the Arts Conference

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

On Saturday we attended the UNC Greensboro Southern Entrepreneurship in the Arts Conference and absolutely had a blast. The SEA conference was designed for all artists, whether they be in the literary, visual, or performing arts, who have dreams of turning their passion into a career.

There were breakout work group sessions held throughout the day on UNC Greensboro’s campus and all totaled there were over 300 in attendance.

We were able to connect with a number of people who explained their woes when it comes to accounting and I hope we were able to provide some relief. Our upcoming Beta release was well received by everyone we talked to and we got some good feedback about some new features that we will be working to include in future revisions.

I for one was very pleased with the turn out and I intend to follow up on the opportunity to actually host a break out session on accounting solutions next year… that’s right, next years conference has already been scheduled for March 26, 2011. I hope to see you there.

Becoming a Legitimate Business: Sole Proprietor, LLC, or S Corp

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Ran across this excellent article, not only does it apply to photographers but to all sorts of artists out there. If you make money then you should really read the rest of this article, here’s a blurb:

So you’ve hired a logo designer, bought a .com – what’s next? While I don’t recommend those things being your first call to action in starting your “business” – determining what business designation you choose is a very important first step. There’s no magic answer here. Everyone’s situation and where they operate their business can impact the choice they make. Ultimately, it is a balancing act of the tax and legal benefits against your cost of maintaining and incorporating your business.

Sole Proprietor – DBA (Doing Business As) – most photography businesses are established as sole proprietors. In fact…

Click Here to read the rest of the article, trust me, if you’re new to the business world then it is definitely worth it.

What you don’t know about SEO

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Okay, so this probably isn’t worth a blog post but we have just made some adjustments to our web site based on an article in the latest issue of Entrepreneur magazine to help people like you find us easier on the Internet. The article is on entitled “What you don’t know about SEO” and quite honestly, it was helpful… you know, things you knew at some point in the past but had forgotten and needed reminding.

Granted, I’m probably not the best source for advice on Search Engine Optimization (I mean, we do online accounting software for small business) but every now and then I run across a good article that is noteworthy. SEO isn’t a science, it’s an art and it takes patience and perseverance. Hopefully this article will help you save some money on what could be unnecessary services.

If you are in a decision making position in a small business and are not already subscribed to Entrepreneur magazine then I would highly recommend it. It often times has good information to help you get started in business… so get your advice from Entrepreneur and let us take care of your accounting and you’ll be all set.
