CATCH ME ON THE GRAM

How’s your bookkeeping system? I learned a lot this tax season about taxpayers’ pain points. One of the biggest is streamlining the bookkeeping process. That’s why I updated my master template. Check it out. Link in bio.
This tax season I got many, many questions on quarterly taxes. What are they? How do they work? How much do I pay? Where do I pay them? While taxes were still fresh my on brain (I wrapped about 12 returns last week for photogs and other small biz creatives), I decided to knock out this post to address the pitfalls I see and to help you make next tax season a breeze.
Ask and you shall receive. Link in bio for my step-by-step guide to calculate, save for, and pay your quarterly taxes, so you don’t get hit with a big tax bill including interest and penalties.
Did you check out the episode that dropped yesterday with @letsgetyouorganized !? I love chatting with other entrepreneurs. It’s always so fun and inspiring. Melisa and I talked about how she’s grown her business and her top tips to help you scale yours.
You have been a creative biz owner for a while. You have heard people mentioning LLCs and have been confused and scared as to whether you need one and what to do. Take my super short quiz to determine whether you need an LLC. Then, as a bonus, you’ll get my step-by-step blueprint to make it happen. What kind of advice have you gotten about LLCs?
Curious about copyright? Check out my blog on the basics. Did you know you can register a copyright on all your course content, photos, etc. for a relatively low cost? Copyrights protect your work product. Trademarks protect names, logos, and taglines.
Just got home from a three day conference. Thanks @kajabi ! It was awesome. So many good speakers from Brenden Bouchard to Amy Poterfield, Neil Patel, Rachel Hollis and Jasmine Star. Here’s my problem. Half told me that we need to be laser focused and not try to do too much. Keep it focused. But then I also heard, why I need to be on YouTube and why I need more inexpensive products, and why I need to post to social 4 times per day, but yet you need to spend time to keep your current audience happy while also building your audience. Right now I’m synthesizing all of my notes and working on a content plan. How do you all sort though all the amazing info and prioritize? I also made some great friends: @morebeatty @enumbercruncher @haleyburkhead @getlivelynow @jen__argue #kajabisummit

It’s here! 🎉 my master wedding photographer template. Created to include all the provisions requested from about 30 different experienced wedding photos. I also recorded an in depth video tutorial on how to understand and edit each provision. I don’t make a lot of promises, but I can pretty much guarantee this template is more comprehensive than any other template available. Thanks specifically to @jenna_photo @photosparkshow @julieferneau and @melissamcclurephotography for all your tips and input.
Check it out on the blog. What kind of questions do you have about paying yourself?
