Where to Begin?
I'm very interested in starting to freelance as a marketing consultant, and possibly to turn that into a small agency. I've got a name and a domain, and I'm working on a website (one of my graphic designer friends is creating my logo). I've also got my Facebook page ready. I'm interested in consulting/working with small local business, at least to start.
Other than that, and putting out some feelers, I'm not sure where to begin.
Some background: I currently work as a Digital Marketing Account Manager at a small agency, but I'm looking to move on from them. (I figure I'll continue working full-time until I know if I can actually make a living with my own company.) I'm also back in school (Penn State) part-time, working on an Advertising and PR degree w/a focus in Strategic Communications.
So the work, itself, I'm clear on (obviously). My concern is how to handle contracts, payments, even taxes. I just don't know where to begin, and the more I research, the more complicated it gets. Am I overthinking it?
Thank you so much!
