Become an Entrepreneur By Launching Your Side Hustle in 6 Steps

Saturday, February 11th, 2023

Become an Entrepreneur By Launching Your Side Hustle in 6 Steps

Youโ€™re curious about entrepreneurship, and you have a business idea in mind โ€“ but you also realize that you canโ€™t leave your full-time job just yet. After all, you need a stable source of income and benefits for your family. But with this advice from The Virtual Consulting Firm, you can start a side hustle, test out your ideaโ€™s economic potential, and create a brand new income stream for your household. Hereโ€™s what you should include in your business plan, how to create a preliminary budget, and why you should form an LLC.

Set Up an LLC

Even if you havenโ€™t mapped out every detail of your vision, you can register your company as an LLC before you start making sales. By researching how to start an LLC, youโ€™ll keep your personal financial assets safe from litigation and qualify for certain tax perks. Additionally, youโ€™ll want to set up a business bank account and open a credit card for your expenses.

Develop a Plan

If youโ€™re launching a side hustle, you still need to create a business plan. Block off a few hours to drill down into the nitty-gritty details of your business idea. In your plan, Novo recommends including an executive summary and general company description, as well as an analysis of your market and major competitors. You can also write out your marketing and sales plan, along with descriptions of your offerings.

Budget Carefully

As you put together your business plan, you also need to think about your budget. Donโ€™t treat this lightly – keeping your finances under control and your spending in check is of the utmost importance if you want to turn your business into a full-time income source down the line. Qonto states that your business budget should cover your estimated revenue, fixed and variable costs, one-time costs, cash flow projections, and expected profit.

Balance Your Schedule

As you get your side hustle running, you donโ€™t want to stretch yourself too thin. If youโ€™re juggling a side hustle with a 9-to-5 job, DollarSprout recommends setting clear boundaries early on. Define how many hours youโ€™ll work per week, turn down work that would push you beyond those limits, and communicate your schedule to your loved ones.

Cost-Effective Marketing

You need to market your side hustle in order to attract your first customers or clients. How can you advertise with a limited budget? Turn to digital marketing channels! Set up a company website with a blog where you can share updates about your business, post product demo videos, and display your contact information.

You should also set up business profiles across several popular social media platforms, such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. If your target audience is on the younger side, itโ€™s a good idea to start using TikTok for your business, too! Itโ€™s free to utilize all of these platforms, which makes social media marketing very cost-effective.

Hire Contractors

Do you need a little help managing your side hustle? You donโ€™t have to burn yourself out trying to do everything on your own, but you donโ€™t necessarily have to hire employees right away, either. Instead, consider hiring independent contractors and freelancers for tasks like writing blog posts, updating your social media profiles, or bookkeeping!

Starting a side hustle is a great way to learn the ropes of business ownership without the financial struggles that come with full-time entrepreneurship. You can test the waters, tweak your business model, and keep saving money and supporting your family! With these tips, youโ€™ll be ready to file for LLC status, hire contractors for help, and manage your schedule with these new responsibilities.

The Virtual Consulting Firm is unique in our ability to offer you the services of the best consultants, software and web developers, information technology (IT) and business professionals. If you have any questions, please email info@TheVCF.com.

Top 10 FAQs About Barter

Sunday, July 31st, 2022

Top 10 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Barter

1. WHAT IS BARTER?

Barter, also referred to simply as trade, is the oldest form of commerce or business in the world. Barter is simply the exchange of one product or service for another without the exchange of cash. Described another way — barter is using what you have to get what you want or need.

2. WHO CAN BARTER?

Any business owner or professional who has a product or service to offer on trade for which there exists some demand. Obviously, the higher the demand for a product or service and the more limited the supply, the more opportunities you will have to trade for the products and services you want and need. Traders range in size from small sole proprietorships to large international corporations.

3. HOW CAN BARTER INCREASE MY CASH FLOW?

There are several ways in which barter can increase your cash flow. Firstly, normal expenses can be converted from cash to trade transactions, thereby freeing up your cash. Secondly, new customers with whom you do trade business and whom are satisfied with your product or service become great sources of word of mouth advertising – the best kind. Thirdly, you can trade your product or service for all forms of media advertising for more cash business without the out-of-pocket cash costs.

4. HOW DO I KNOW THAT THIS IS LEGITIMATE? / THIS MUST BE ILLEGAL?

The Barter Industry is now officially recognized by the federal government through the โ€œTax Equity and Financial Responsibility Act (TEFRA) of 1982โ€ as third-party record keepers. Trade/Barter Exchanges now rank on an equal footing with banks, credit card issuers, credit unions, security brokers and others as legitimate custodians in the eyes of the law.

5. WHAT IS A BARTER EXCHANGE?

A Barter (or Trade) Exchange is a business organization engaged in the exchange of products and services without the use of cash. A Trade/Barter Exchange acts in a fiduciary role, facilitating trading between the exchangeโ€™s clients via a form of currency, e.g. Trade Dollars (T$), that clients can spend on any of the products and services available on trade from the other clients.

6. WHAT ABOUT TAXES?

There are no tax advantages or disadvantages to barter. The IRS and tax law treats barter identically to cash. Barter sales are treated as taxable income in the year they are credited, just like cash sales. Barter purchases for products and services for your business, including salaries, are tax deductible just like if they were cash purchases. Barter Exchanges report the barter transactions for their clients to the IRS and to the client on a Form 1099-B at the end of the year. You would be responsible for issuing the appropriate Form 1099-Bโ€™s for any direct trades in which you participate.

7. WHO ARE THE BEST TRADERS?

Aggressive, intelligent and inventive traders are some of the best. Everyone can learn to be a โ€œmega-traderโ€ by dealing with other traders, watching how they make barter work for them and through creative thinking – โ€œThink Trade First!โ€, before you spend cash.

8. CAN I GET EVERYTHING I NEED THROUGH BARTER?

No. There are some things that you probably wonโ€™t be able to find on trade, including: utilities, parking meters, tips, mortgage payments and money payable to local, state and federal governments( taxes, business licenses, traffic fines). Most everything else can be traded.

9. CAN I AFFORD TO BARTER?

All business owners and professionals can afford to barter. Some can afford to trade more than others, but it can benefit any business. Those who contend that they cannot afford to trade because of cash flow often need the benefits of barter more than anyone.

10. WHEN WOULD I SEE THE BENEFITS?

Each time that you participate in a trade you will realize some of the benefits of barter. When you participate as a seller in a trade you often receive new business from a customer who otherwise would not have purchased your product or service on a cash basis. When you participate as a purchaser in a trade you are acquiring a product or service at a discount equal to your gross profit margin and thereby saving cash. Therefore you will see the benefits whenever you utilize barter to grow your business! So what are you waiting for … ?

How to Hire Effective Business Consultants

Saturday, November 6th, 2021

How to Hire Effective Business Consultants

Businesses hire consultants when they need industry insights, specialized skills, a second opinion, or objective input on business operations and strategy. Yet for some business owners, the idea of paying top dollar for consulting is a hard pill to swallow. There are a lot of myths and misconceptions about business consultants โ€” that they tell you what you already know or that consultants are only for big corporations, not small businesses.

In reality, consultants deliver a lot of value to businesses big and small. However, businesses often fail to utilize consultants effectively and end up dissatisfied with the results. This happens when businesses hire the wrong type of consultant, donโ€™t have a clear understanding of business needs, or choose a consultant based on price alone.

Before hiring a business consultant

Maximizing the value of business consulting requires a clear understanding of:

  • The problem the business is facing.
  • The needs of key stakeholders.
  • What success looks like.
  • The qualities of an effective consultant.
  • The skills or experience required to address the problem.
  • Your budget for consulting services.

A common mistake businesses make is starting at the last step and working their way up. Youโ€™ll hire a better consultant for your business if you start with what you hope to accomplish and then determine how best to get there.

Types of business consultants

Businesses have a lot of options to choose from when hiring a consultant. These are the most in-demand types of consultants for companies to hire.

IT consultants

IT consultants help companies maintain and repair systems, improve technological efficiency, and implement new technologies. An increasing number of small businesses are investing in cybersecurity consultants to protect against data breaches and ransomware attacks.

Marketing consultants

Marketing consultants include experts in branding, inbound and outbound marketing, social media, web design, and more. While large companies contract with full-service marketing agencies, smaller businesses tend to hire for targeted projects like using a local SEO consultant to improve visibility in local search results and direct customers to a brick-and-mortar location.

HR consultants

An HR consultant is a cost-effective solution for businesses operating with a limited HR department. HR consultants assist with recruitment, compliance, training, and human resource planning. Human resources consultants also help companies create policies and set strategy.

Management consultants

Management consultants help business owners and executives with high-level decisions surrounding operations, finance, and strategic growth. Management consultants usually specialize in a specific industry or niche such as tech, manufacturing, or agribusiness. Businesses can choose from independent consultants, small consulting firms, or large management consulting firms.

Where to hire a virtual consultant

The Virtual Consulting Firm offers a wide variety of quality virtual consulting services for businesses including advertising and marketing, management, information technology, human resources, project management, and more. Business owners can easily request a free quote online. Just describe your project, deliverables, and deadlines and youโ€™ll receive an estimate for virtual consulting services.

Freelance marketplaces are another popular option for finding business consultants and specialists. Marketplaces like Upwork provide access to professionals around the globe at a variety of price points to accommodate all budgets. However, the abundance of options makes it especially important to screen freelancers for talent quality, delivery time, and reputation.

How to measure consultant ROI

Measuring the value that a consultant delivers is one of the most challenging aspects of working with business consultants. Key performance indicators tend to focus on financial metrics but the benefits of consultants are often intangible.

Intangible KPIs include things like business process efficiency, customer experience, brand reputation, talent pool, and competitive intelligence. While these metrics are harder to measure, itโ€™s not impossible.

To effectively measure intangible KPIs businesses need software solutions that gather and process data on key business processes. Core software solutions for businesses include enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), project management, and human resource management (HRM) platforms.

Running a business is a complex undertaking. There are a variety of occasions when business owners benefit from additional expertise and an outside perspective. However, hiring a consultant wonโ€™t pay off without a clear understanding of business needs and deliverables. Before investing in business consulting services, know what you hope to gain and how your choice of consultant will help you get there.

Are you ready to hire a consultant for your business? The Virtual Consulting Firm is available for all of your business consulting needs. Learn more about services at The Virtual Consulting Firm and request a free quote online.
