How meaningful is your business to you? If it means a lot to you, you need to make it just as essential for your customers and clients. Part of that involves managing your reputation. Read on to get some helpful tips to manage your reputation.
When it comes to dealing with negative content about your brand online, the best defense is a good offense. With a lot of positive feedback, it can help to drown out a negative or two. Continue to post positive content, and the negative content will be drowned out.
When you're dealing with content that's negative online about the brand you represent, you should work on having a good offense. Ensure that lots of happy, positive commentary exists, and the few negative items will pale in comparison. Make sure your content is always fresh so that older, negative things fade to the bottom of search pages.
Be positive and friendly over the Internet. Simply posting updates won't do a lot; you have to show active communication with your customers. If someone posts a question to your social media site, ensure that it is answered as quickly as possible. When you get asked a question you can't personally answer, let the enquirer know that you're looking into it.
Search Engines
Try to make unhappy customers happy. Turn the negative into a positive to show that it is important to you. It would be even better if you can carry this out online. You will show customers and prospective customers that you are willing to address any issue, which makes them more likely to do future business with you.
To better your business reputation online, try optimizing your web pages with your essential search phrase. This is the name your company is known by. The big search engines favor authority sites. When your business is seen as an authority, then search engines like Google will bump you to a higher standing in the results.
Remain up-to-date when it comes to happenings in the business world. This will give you an expert voice with consumers. Just take a few minutes each morning to read the most recent industry developments online.
Constantly monitor the social media networks. According to Arnold Worldwide, most customers believe that businesses should respond to all of the postings on their social media accounts. Be sure that you respond promptly, preferably no later than a couple of hours. Being responsive will help your business stand out.
You should always maintain a sense of professionalism when you are using social media sites. They are a part of your branding and must be handled with care. Though injecting some personality is a good thing at times, you should avoid going overboard.
Stay current on what is going on in your industry. That will help you to provide good information to your customers. Attempt to dedicate a bit of time to this daily.
If you're a business owner, make sure you treat all your employees respectfully. Take this very seriously, as it can hurt or benefit your reputation. If disgruntled employees start talking, you may lose customers.
Always treat employees with respect. Sometimes, this isn't seen as something that is necessary, but if you don't respect your employees, then you could be dealing with serious consequences. People will avoid doing business with you if you are a bad employer.
Try to stay near your customers. If you know your customers visit a restaurant, eat there often. By going to where your customers go, you will get to know them better and be able to provide quality service. People will feel more relaxed speaking with you in this type of environment.
Keep sales or secret promotions quiet. This is important when you offer a substantial discount to compensate for a complaint. It would be a mistake to post the details of how you have resolved a complaint, only to receive lots of complaints aimed at getting freebies from your company.
When you find inaccurate information about your firm, talk to the website owner. A strongly worded email should get most webmasters to remove the information.
Social Media Sites
Always visit your social media sites. Companies are often talked about on these platforms. When you monitor your social presence, you will be able to see anything negative being said about your business, and nip it in the bud quickly. This will help prevent your company's reputation from getting any worse.
Always visit your social media sites. People may talk positively or negatively about you on social media sites. You can fix the negative situations more quickly if you notice them as they arise. This is an effective means of keeping your business reputation safe from additional damage.
Trusted firms do exist that can help with the management of business reputations. You will surely need to stay hands-on with this, but it does not hurt to have some extra help. So having assistance with monitoring these channels is helpful.
Customers are an integral part of any business. This will include complaints every once in a while, and you have to learn how to address them. You need to address them in a manner that others agree with.
If you come across negative reviews of your business online, you might feel anger towards someone who left feedback that is not entirely true. However, you should remain calm when responding to what has been said. When readers look at both sides of the argument, they can make their own judgement.
At all times you must conduct yourself in the proper manner to achieve a positive business reputation. Always be upfront and honest with your customers, and admit any mistakes you make. You'll develop a good reputation by always being as transparent as possible.
Work towards transparency. You must handle customers directly and honestly, and if problems should arise, take care of it swiftly. Being transparent is a great way to help your business reputation.
It would be a good idea to check in with customers several times after they make a purchase. Sometimes issues are not found right away and/or customers do not use their new items for a while. Following up gives you the chance to address issues that they might have.
Make sure that you contact your customers often if they show interest or have an issue. It may be that their issues do not arise until later down the road. Your concern gives them the opportunity to voice any complaints they may have.
Is there an event going on in your community? Help out as a corporate sponsor. This can help improve the reputation of your company. Donating money and time to a worthy cause is always impressive. A good impression such as this will allow your business to succeed in the long run.
Stay wary of what gets shared online. Be alert, because you have no idea how it can be utilized by others at a later date. Use caution with what you post on your social media website.
Be very careful of all of the information that you choose to share over the Internet. You can't be sure how it's used later, so be careful. Even a small number of people can spread bad publicity to the masses.
Make sure to do monthly reviews of search engine results. Look for your company name and website. Check out your content carefully, and look for any negative comments that you can correct too. Track where the negative content and comments are coming from. Try to find some way to turn things around.
Always make your promises come true. If you are always changing the agreements you make, then trust in your business will be lost. Dishonesty is something that can really hurt your bottom line. It will be a while before you can repair your reputation if this happens.
Do not allow yourself to become emotional in online communications. Be sure to practice good stress management techniques. You can play sports or try participating in other activities that will allow you to keep your stress under control. Don't get into flame wars online, whatever you do. This will sink your reputation in a snap.
Do not allow yourself to become emotional in online communications. Work on your stress management abilities. Exercise often so that you have an outlet for stress and frustration. Don't fight online. This can tarnish your reputation.
Make sure you make time for your customers. Make sure a person, not just a recording, is on the opposite end of the phone line, and make sure people respond to customer questions and comments online. Customers will hate your business if they can't ever reach anyone.
Do not reply to criticism without thinking about it first. Know exactly what is going on before making your response. Identify facts and information that can support your personal point of view in the matter. When present information in a professional manner, you enhance your reputation for knowledge and credibility.
Look at what your reputation on the web is. Search for your business name and watch forums too. Join into conversations about your company and services. People will appreciate your effort, and you might also be able to set the record straight.
As part of your reputation management strategy, you may have to respond to negative attacks on your company. Instead of removing it, address it explaining what happened in an honest way. Customers appreciate honesty maybe even more than they value perfection, so learn how to capitalize on any mistakes you make.
Accept constrictive criticism in your reputation management strategy. When there is an issue at hand, don't just address it, but also thank the person who told you about it. Use it to improve your business instead of just trying to cover over it.
Remember that angry reactions to customer issues just hurt your reputation. Do not use social media as a venue for an "attack." If problems escalate and the client is inappropriate, just ignore them rather than engaging in an argument on the Internet.
Connect yourself to a charity. Not only are you providing a good service, your business can reap many good tax benefits. It will increase your public profile.
Considering joining your local trade organizations. People looking for companies who are members of a particular industry will look at that industry's trade organization to help them find one they are interested in. Joining an organization such as these sends the message that you are a credible business. There is usually a small membership fee that you have to pay, but the benefits are well worth it.
Your website is something that you want to focus on. Every area of your website needs to have your company name. When a search engine sends its software to crawl the site, they have to see that your company name is associated with everything. Make sure the company name is seen in the URL, the headers and the title tag.
If you get hired to work for someone, be sure you try and find out what you can do extra for them. It won't cost you that much more in time and resources, but the benefits in terms of customer relations are great. They and their friends are likely to become regulars.
If you have a large enough company, you may want to hire a public relations person yourself. Reputation management is an example of a full-time job. With all of the websites out there, you need to have someone monitoring things and helping to keep them under control. If you fail to do this, it can turn into a PR nightmare.
Make sure that you check out the backgrounds of your new employees, since they all contribute personally to your business reputation. The cost of a search can help you avoid hiring questionable people. Be very aware of the background of all of your employees.
Ask people that enjoy your brand to write testimonials about the products you sell. Words of praise from consumers will boost your reputation immensely. Testimonials are a great way to convince prospective customers to try out your products. This will help to buffer against any negative reviews.
As we said in the intro, if your company is important to you, you must make it important to your clients. Your business' reputation is vital for doing this. What you've read today will help you accomplish this task.
Provide a place for your customers where they are able to express their opinions on your services and products. For example, you could incorporate an online forum into your website. This will help you keep commentary in one place so you can monitor it better. It also gives you a place for asking them if your new ideas appeal to them. It can help with innovation.

Member Blogs > Journey of a BooksellerThe Late Show by Michael Connelly
Mon, 24 Jul 2017 08:30:00 PermalinkRenée is a new character and I like her very much. She's tough, determined and won't let anything get her down. She's been treated badly before, so now she's being much more careful but she still pursues cases that intrigue her. She just covers her butt better.
Little Brown and Company and Net Galley allowed me to read this book for review (thank you). It has been published so you can grab a copy now.
As is usual, this is a fast paced read with casualties along the way. Renée accused her supervisor in the past of harassment. He wanted more than just good police work. However, even her own partner wouldn't back her up. She gets stuck on the night shift which is where old police officers go to die or retire, whichever comes first. What she finds is that's where the interesting cases show up. Her new partner tells her she needs to turn it in to the squads that handle those cases. But she's invested in the transvestite that took such a beating with brass knuckles he/she might die. And she hates the fact that a young waitress was shot in the bar. Especially since she thinks a cop was involved. So she keeps snooping.
She does find the guilty parties but one of them finds her and almost kills her. When she fights back and kills him, they try to make her look like she used excessive force but she survives that. It helps that she recorded the cop talking to the reporter and feeding him bad information.
She also finds evidence left for her by her previous partner. Someone has killed him in his garage, and he knew he was skating close to death. Now she has the information to take down a bad cop. If only she lives long enough to do it...

JONESBORO, Ark. (1/12/16) – The American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) announced Tuesday that Arkansas State head football coach Blake Anderson has been elected to the organization's Board of Trustees.
The announcement was made during the AFCA's 2016 national convention currently taking place in San Antonio, Texas. Anderson will now become the first A-State head coach to ever serve on the Board of Trustees that formulates policy and provides direction for the AFCA, which was founded in 1922 by Amos Alonzo Stagg, John Heisman and others. The AFCA has more than 11,000 members from all levels of the profession.
Anderson is joined by Navy head coach Ken Niumatalolo, Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema, Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen and Richmond head coach Danny Rocco as the board's newest members. The group was elected by AFCA members attending the national convention.
"This is a great honor, but with it comes a great responsibility to my peers and to the game of football," said Anderson. "This is an incredible opportunity to give back to a sport that has given so much to me, and I'm looking forward to serving the AFCA in this new role.
"I'm grateful for the time I spent as a player under Coach (Grant) Teaff, one of the all-time great football minds, and the resulting close relationship we maintained during his time as the Association's executive director that has given me additional perspective on the impact the AFCA continues to have on college football today."
Anderson, a 15-year coaching veteran at the NCAA FBS level who also coached in an NJCAA National Championship game, was named the Red Wolves' 30th all-time head football coach on Dec. 19, 2013. He recently completed his second season at Arkansas State, leading the Red Wolves to a 9-4 overall record, an appearance in the New Orleans Bowl and a Sun Belt Conference championship with an unblemished 8-0 league mark.
During his two years at the helm of the program, he has seen 20 of his players earn 26 All-Sun Belt Conference selections – the most in the league over that span. He is the only head coach in school history to direct A-State to 16 wins in 26 or fewer games.
Returning members of the AFCA Board of Trustees include incoming president Lee Owens of Ashland University; first vice-president Rich Rodriguez of the University of Arizona; second vice-president Bill Cronin of Georgetown College and third vice-president Frank Solich of Ohio University.
Also serving on the Board in 2016: Mike Riley, University of Nebraska; Gary Patterson, TCU; David Bailiff, Rice University; Mark Richt, University of Miami (Fla.); Pete Fredenburg, University of Mary Hardin-Baylor; Turner Gill, Liberty University; Pat Fitzgerald, Northwestern University; Craig Bohl, University of Wyoming; Bronco Mendenhall, University of Virginia; Todd Knight, Ouachita Baptist University; David Cutcliffe, Duke University; Jeff McMartin, Central College (Iowa); Bobby Kennedy, University of Iowa, ex officio member and chairman of the Assistant Coaches Committee; Van Malone, Southern Methodist University, ex officio member and chairman of the Minority Issues Committee; and Sam Knopik, The Pembroke Hill School (Mo.), ex officio member and chairman of the High School Committee. New AFCA Executive Director Todd Berry serves as secretary-treasurer of the organization.

Text: II Samuel 9
As you will remember, David and Jonathan, the son of King Saul, were very close friends. Jonathan knew that David rather than he would eventually succeed his father as king of Israel. In I Samuel 20:14-17 , David made a promise to Jonathan.
I Samuel 20:14-17 - (14) And thou [i.e. you, David] shalt not only while yet I [i.e. Jonathan] live shew me the kindness of the Lord, that I die not: (15) But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the Lord hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth. (16) So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the Lord even require it at the hand of David's enemies. (17) And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
Well, after years of war, things had finally settled down somewhat, and it was time for David to keep his word.
We see -
II Samuel 9:1-4 - (1) And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan's sake? (2) And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the king said unto him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he. (3) And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet. (4) And the king said unto him, Where is he? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.
Machir, the son of Ammiel, will be seen again in II Samuel 17 when he and others will provide supplies for David and those with him who are fleeing from Absalom when Absalom is attempting to steal the kingdom from David.
II Samuel 17:27-29 - 27 And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodebar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim, 28 Brought beds, and basons, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched corn, and beans, and lentiles, and parched pulse, 29 And honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat: for they said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.
We were previously introduced to Mephibosheth in II Samuel 4:4
II Samuel 4:4 - And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.
We don't know how much time had passed in David's reign as king over Israel by the time David inquired about Mephibosheth. However, at the time of Mephibosheth's injury, David was not yet king of Judah over which he reigned for 7 1/2 years before he became king over all Israel. Furthermore, according to verse 12, Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha; so it may be as many as an additional 8-10 years or more after David became king of all Israel before he took this action toward Mephibosheth. Thus, it could have been as many as 15 or 20 years or more after Mephibosheth's injury occurred.
Next, we see that -
II Samuel 9:5-6 - (5) Then king David sent, and fetched him [i.e. brought Mephibosheth] out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar. (6) Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant!
Then, we see that -
II Samuel 9:7 - And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually [i.e. regularly].
As we continue, we see -
II Samuel 9:8 - And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am [i.e. such a dead dog like me]?
A dead dog suggests someone who was contemptible and useless, someone who was worthless.
Finally, we see -
II Samuel 9:9-13 - (9) Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said unto him, I have given unto thy master's son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house [i.e. everything that belonged to Saul and his family]. (10) Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master's son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master's son shall eat bread alway [i.e. regularly] at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants. (11) Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king's sons. (12) And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth. (13) So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually [i.e. regularly] at the king's table; and was lame on both his feet.
David's showing kindness to Mephibosheth illustrates God's grace in extending salvation to believers -
1. Like Mephibosheth, we were helpless and unable to come to God on our own.
John 6:44 indicates that we cannot come to God on our own -
John 6:44 - (44) No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
We were without strength and had no ability to save ourselves, and we were ungodly -
Romans 5:6 - (6) For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
We were sinners -
Romans 5:8 - (8) But God commendeth [i.e. demonstrated] his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
We were under God's wrath -
Romans 5:9 - (9) Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
We were God's enemies -
Romans 5:10 - (10) For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
We were spiritually dead -
Romans 5:12 - (12) Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
We were dead in trespasses and sins and lived our lives in accordance with Satan, the prince of the power of the air -
Ephesians 2:1-3 - (1) And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; (2) Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: (3) Among whom also we all had our conversation [i.e. our manner of life] in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
2. Like Mephibosheth, we were hopeless.
Ephesians 2:11-12 - (11) Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; (12) That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world.
3. Like Mephibosheth, by grace we became objects of divine favor.
Ephesians 2:4-7 - (4) But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, (5) Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) (6) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: (7) That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
John 3:16 - (16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
4. Like Mephibosheth, we have been elevated to a place in the family of God.
John 1:12 - (12) But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.
Romans 8:14-16 - (14) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (15) For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. (16) The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.
5. Although Mephibosheth became heir to Saul's estate, we have something far better - we have been made joint-heirs with Christ.
Romans 8:17 - (17) And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Romans 8:29-30 - (29) For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. (30) Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
I Peter 1:3-5 - 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
What a wonderful God we serve, Who took us from our lost, helpless, and hopeless condition and provided for our eternal redemption.
I John 4:19 - (19) We love him, because he first loved us.
II Corinthians 5:9 - (9) Wherefore we labour [i.e. make it our aim in life], that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him [i.e. well pleasing to Him].
II Corinthians 5:15 - (15) And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

Houston Texas Pest Control 713-GOT BUGS?
Houston Tx Pest Control
As the go to Houston exterminator team, Carroll Pest Control will customize a proven solution to meet all of your individual needs.
Termite Inspection
Termite damage to a home does not happen overnight. In fact, most homeowners don't even realize there is a problem until thousands of dollars worth of damage has occurred.
Because termites are very small and secretive, it's difficult to find damage within walls, in the gaps between a house's frame and exterior brick surface, or even inside decorative columns and posts.
Carroll Pest Control specializes in thoroughly inspecting your home, and we know where to look for termite damage BEFORE the damage becomes extensive.
Mosquito Control Systems
Don't let mosquitoes keep you from enjoying your backyard. Our effective mosquito solutions will get you out of the house and allow you to reclaim your outside freedom.
Rodent Control
Rodents are never welcome quests in any home because they reproduce rapidly and contaminate food with their urine and feces. They also gnaw through sheet rock, vinyl siding, and electrical wires.
Carroll Pest Control specialists are able to effectively inspect entry points in your home for possible rodent invasion and employ bait stations on the interior as well as exterior of your home to successfully exterminate any rodents.
Ant Control
Ants can live on the inside or outside of your home. But even when they live outside your home, often times they easily find crevices and entry ways into your home while searching for food to take back to their nests.
We use Phantom and Termidor, the most effective, undetectable, and fastest acting products for eliminating ants both inside and outside your home.
With over 14 years experience, Carroll Pest Control proudly serves:

If you work for yourself, you don't have an employer to withhold taxes from your paycheck. You have to pay them yourself, including self-employment tax. For example, if you're a freelancer and you receive 1099 forms at the end of the year, nobody is withholding taxes for you. You have to do it yourself for income tax and self-employment tax.
Self-employment tax includes Social Security and Medicare. Everyone who earns money is required to pay this tax. If you don't pay into the system, you won't receive any of these benefits.
As a self-employed individual, you will pay more than your employed counterparts. At least that is how it will look. Social Security and Medicare taxes are paid at the same rate for every individual. However, when you are employed, your employer pays half and you pay the other half. If you're self-employed, you are both the employee and the employer, so you have to pay both.
This tax is made up of Social Security at 10.4% and Medicare at 2.9%. If you make more than $106,800 in a year, anything over that amount is not subject to Social Security tax, only Medicare tax. These numbers are for the tax year 2011 and may change from year to year.
The best plan of action is to pay your taxes, self-employment and regular income taxes, through quarterly estimated payments. If you make over a certain amount and you don't pay these taxes quarterly, you will be charged a tax penalty. In other words, pay your taxes throughout the year if you want to save money.
These are estimated tax payments. That means when tax season comes, you will file taxes just like everyone else. The money you paid as estimated payments may cover most or all of what you owe, or you may have paid too much. You will need to find the right form for estimated payments depending on what type of business you have such as a sole proprietorship or a partnership. These forms can be found at the IRS website, www.irs.gov.
When it comes time to file your taxes, the Schedule S is used to file self-employment taxes. If you are using tax software, you won't need to worry about this. As you fill in your 1099 information, the software will guide you. Otherwise you can use the printed tax form and fill it out yourself. It is not a complicated form to fill out.
One benefit that is available to you as a self-employed individual is that half of your self-employment tax is tax deductible. Basically, it puts you on even ground with employees who don't pay taxes on what their employer pays as part of their Social Security and Medicare taxes. In other words, you will ultimately pay the same amount as employees.
There are many tax benefits to being self-employed such as deducting business expenses, but you still have to pay Social Security and Medicare taxes just like everyone else. The difference is that you pay it in a different way. Always remember to pay your taxes on time to avoid penalties.

Earlier this week I received a nice big yellow envelop. Opening it up it appeared it was from Matt at Bob Walk the Plank. The ones that have ever received a package from Matt know what that means....lots of goodies !!! Apparently, I was one of the winners of a contest recently, although I am not sure I can remember the contest, but I welcome the package anyways !!
Let's have a look at the content. First up, a huge pile of Sabathia cards !! Here's two, it's Vintage and it's not at the same time !
Couple more ! Let's hope Sabathia has something to laugh about next year as this year was clearly a disappointment for him personally and for the Yankees as well...
Matt also included a Dutchman, Andrew Jones ! Maybe even better, a very cool America's Pastime Rivera card, I really likes these !!
Matt included some more relic cards, here's a nice Winfield !
Another Andrew Jones was included, Piece of the Game !
Any package that includes Glavine is a cool one; and what do you know, there was a Glavine inside !!
Last but not least, the best card of them all !! A Verlander auto card !!!!!!! Wow, awesome !!!! Let's hope he recovers next year after this year's oke-ish season !
