How To File For an LLC In Arizona & Get Your Business Properly Set Up

Hi friends! As I talk more about freelancing and connect with more fellow freelancers, I’ve realized a lot of my peers haven’t properly set up their LLC or haven’t applied for a business bank account! I honestly get why people avoid it – legalities and taxes are terrifying and confusing haha. But in the state of Arizona (and I’m sure in other states) it’s really quite simple to file for an LLC and a bank account. So, this blog post will cover 3 steps to set…

Recommended Tools & Resources For Marketers, Bloggers, & Small Biz Owners

Hey guys! So today I am sharing my favorite recommended tools & resources that I use in my business to keep myself sane. Ha. But seriously — some of them are more geared towards business/admin, some are towards social media management, Facebook Ads, and analytics, and some I’ve used to help grow my influence and coordinate brand partnerships as a blogger. I’ve also gotten TONS of questions about which online course I’ve taken, so I have listed those at the end. If there is anything you…

Freelance Income & Traffic Report: August 2018

Hey guys! Back at it again with my freelance income & traffic report. Happy to say I had my best month of traffic (again!!) in August. I feel like I’m not putting in as much work as I thought I would to get my traffic up, so it’s nice that it has happened somewhat organically. I think starting my newsletter (you can subscribe here) and adding some free products has definitely helped to increase traffic. In August I also had my best month of leads! I…

How To Manage (& Find) Unpaid Interns As A Freelancer

I’m just wrapping up my first week with my new fall interns! And I’m exhausted haha. I now have 2 interns from the fall plus my part-time assistant Haley who was my intern this summer. While I’m excited to have a growing team, managing 3 people at once (2 of which had to be taught a lot) is very tiring haha. Managing interns as a freelancer can feel weird,  but I have to remember that I am a small business and that my business is more than…

Freelance Income & Traffic Report: July 2018

Happy August friends! I feel like July literally went by in a heartbeat. I FINALLY launched my weekly newsletter (you can subscribe here if you missed out) where I call myself “The Social Media Doctor” and dish out “Prescriptions” ;). I got my inspiration from The Skinny Confidential and Becca Tilley’s podcast “Scrubbing In”. And I had my friend Morgan at Lagom Creative do the design for me! She is super talented and worked really fast so I’d definitely recommend her if you need a Mailchimp…

I new there were going to be changes in my freelance income coming in June with a bigger client pausing my services due to manufacturing issues. I decided to take a look at the situation from a positive stand point. I had been saying for MONTHS that I felt like I didn't have enough time to actually work ON my business so I used June as an opportunity to make some serious progress.

Freelance Income & Traffic Report: June 2018

Hi guys!! Doing a bit of an update here on my June income & traffic report. June was great because I was able to go home for two weeks to visit my parents AND I moved from Scottsdale to Phoenix, so I was a bit busier than usual on the personal side of things. However, like I mentioned in my report about May, I new there were going to be changes coming in June with a bigger client pausing my services due to manufacturing issues. At…
