    Online Class: Business Basics for Bellydancers.

    I'm almost done with my online class: Business Basics for Belly Dancers. I have watched over and over again dancers make wrong structure decisions, break IRS regulations, and put themselves at risk. So I've created a online downloadable video course, with PDF checklist and handbook. Most of you know I'm a CPA, and ask questions here and there. This way I can help everyone and give you a resource and places to go for assistance.

    I've covered:
    What formal structure works best for you?
    What you need to keep for documentation
    How to figure out your breakeven analysis/pricing computations for classes/workshops/renting a studio (with downloadable spreadsheets that you input your data and it figures estimates for you)
    When are 1099's, state, federal, and foreign reporting is required
    What to look for when buying insurance
    IRS Rules for what is a Hobby Vs Business
    Are you an independent contractor or employee?

    Anything else you think I should cover?

    Wow! I've been looking for just this thing! When it comes to business I know the marketing stuff pretty well, the tax and legal stuff....not so much. Thanks for making it available. Will this be a free or paid resource? When can I see it?

    Let's talk on Facebook or Twitter, and please stop by and read my blog

    I am hoping to have it up within a month or so. It will be a paid resource, but much cheaper than even an hour with a Lawyer, CPA, or Consultant :)

    Absolutely love this! I've been preaching to the dancers of Philadelphia to get in writing and keep it legal! Il check back for it, thanks for doing something so necessary!
