How can I write with more "oomph?" I need to make my business writing more interesting and exciting. How can

We Answered:

Try to find a way to make the paper more interesting. If YOU think it's boring, your teacher probably does too. Good business people find a way to make something interesting and appealing to others, so start practicing now. If your given a project to research a company or do an analysis on a company, look for quirks that are interesting. Don't be afraid to use some light humor in your writing. Teachers like unique, rather than the normal dull papers they always read.
When you write it, it should make you smile, because it will probably make the teacher smile too.
If it's a REALLY lame project, sometimes there isn't much to do about interesting/exciting, but you could still try to implement a little humor, for example using a related comparison to something else that is funny. "This company was doing so dismally in the fourth quarter, it was like watching Enron after the scandal." Is more interesting than, "The company did poorly in the fourth quarter."

Hope that helps!

Tax Tips for a Freelance Writing Business?

We Answered:

your self employment will be reported on Sch C and when you have determined a 'net' profit, report that on Sch SE, which is your self employment tax, approx. 15.3% of your 'net'
when you enter this on your 1040, half of that is a credit to reduce your gross income
you can pre pay what you anticipate your total tax to be on 1040ES forms, with only the Sept 15, and Jan 15, payments left to deposit
until you file your 1040 you probably have no documentation other than the checks you receive for your services
however if these are issued you in your given name, that might not be enough proof
you might have a separate bank account only for this business which might give you some documentation
you might go to www.irs.gov, publication 334 is helpful and there are other aids available there to help you
I get emails from IRS every week from 4 areas, and one just week announced some small business aids
you can subscribe to these as well, the web site will give you directions

How do I get started in the business of freelance writing?

We Answered:

The Internet has opened up many freelance opportunities, expanding markets and helping to build it into one of the largest economic segments for many economies. Development for freelancing has been especially high for software development, website design, information technology, and business documentation. Freelance practice varies greatly. Some require clients to sign written contracts<!--while others may perform work based on verbal agreements, perhaps enforceable through the very nature of the work. Some freelancers may provide written estimates of work and request deposits from clients. Get more information on the website. You can almost find any freelance job you want.

Payment for freelance work also varies greatly. Freelancers may charge by the day or hour, or on a per-project basis. Instead of a flat rate or fee, some consultants have adopted a value-based pricing method-->based on the perceived value of the results to the client. By custom, payment arrangements may be upfront, percentage upfront, or upon completion. For more complex projects, a contract may set a payment schedule based on milestones or outcomes.

How to write a business letter? tips?

We Answered:

Name and address in the top right hand corner, with your telephone number and email address underneath. Underneath that, put the date.

On the left hand side, place a reference (if you have it) on the line directly beneath the line on which you placed the date. A reference could look like this -

Ref: Bank manager vacancy, no. 129474

Then, two lines down from the reference, write "Dear Sir/Madam" or "Dear....(followed by the name of the person you're writing to.

Now write your letter.

Finish with "Yours sincerely" if you know the person, "Yours faithfully" if you don't.
