Freelance Writing Coach - Should you get business insurance? Maybe?
play

07/04/22 • 15 min

This episode needs a disclaimer which is that we are not lawyers. However, someone told us to get business insurance so we looked into it. In this episode, we discuss business insurance. One of us has it and one of us doesn’t. The person who doesn’t was unlikely convinced by this episode. Basically, talk to an insurance agent. But if you’re looking for a brief overview of what two experienced freelancers know about business insurance, listen in.

Today we're talking about freelance writers who are launching courses, templates, digital products, and more + the promotion it entails to be successful.

Tax season is stressful—no doubt about it. Are you overpaying? Are you even doing it right? It’s a headache, but here’s the good news: you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Collective is built exclusively for solopreneurs and is here to help. If you’re a freelance writer, you could be leaving major savings on the table by not having an S Corp. Collective helped me make the switch last year, and they handled everything—S Corp election, bookkeeping, payroll, taxes—you name it. Now, I get to focus on what I love, without stressing over receipt tracking and tax forms.
