I really appreciate the information, especially concerning the taxes. However, you article brought up a lot of questions for which I need to find the answers. 1. Since I work alone and type articles for Internet Marketers, do I still need to get a business license? Also, I have only been keeping a file of all my fees paid and the expenses incurred-like a new computer. I see now that it would be most helpful to have one ledger for business income and one for the expenses. It will be a lot less confusing, and easier to file quarterly, or at the end of the year. I look forward to any helpful financial advice anyone can give to help us newbies reach our personal and professional goals.

Also, how competitive is your bank in attracting your business? My small town is overrun with banks. So when a new branch of a credit union opened up offering $100 to open the account, I jumped. Nice thing was that it's a sister credit union of our "personal bank" so I can get money and make deposits for both my personal and business accounts at one convenient location.
