    Biker Events

    I do alot of bike grahics and designs. I dont take my stuff to the shows, I ride there on my bike. I take cards with me, always wearing my shirt for advertisement. Good luck I will probably see you at the events.

    How do you pay yourself? Accounting tips?

    My primary business is repairing laser printers, selling consumables and doing warranty work for HP. My company is setup as a S corporation. Incorporating isnt that expensive, it protects you and everything you own. If something happens your personal things are protected. You are considered an employee of the company. I pay myself like any other employee, I get a paycheck every week. I give myself bonus checks when the business is very busy. Every vehicle i have is a right off, everything i do is a right off, goto dinner, keep a receipt, all tolls on the road, whatever you can save, from your home to your car. Figure your overall margin, taking into account all overhead, and include all overhead. Be honest what it really cost you to do a shirt, or a vinyl decal. Factor in your time, what are you worth? You can always pay yourself weekly and take a bonus when it is good. Make sure you put a percentage aside for taxes, pay them quarterly, that way at the end of the year you dont have to pay a huge chunk of money out. I have been in business for myself for 8 years, It has a lot of headaches at times. You are the one at the end of the day, if the business isnt doing well, you dont get paid. But when its doing great YAHOOOOOOOOOOOO show me the money. Just my .02 hope it helps.

    Custom Logos

    I have done a few logos for the industry that my business focuses on. You have to remember, this can take some time. You need to let them know there will be a charge for the time involved, you cannot develop a quality logo in 10 minutes. They usually want many changes before the final design is done. You also reserve the right to the artwork unless they want to buy the artwork from you for a price. Copyright laws have changed over the years. Once you produce the logo for them, print the work and put it in a sealed envelope with the date and your signature on it. People who want logos done dont realize the amount of time this process can take before it is completed. You can grab some images from the net, alter them by adding what you want or draw your own design. Just remember that whatever you use from the net is most likely copyrighted as well. I went to google and typed in lightbulb man, lightbulb cartoon, butler and tophat art and found alot of things to give you some great ideas. Just my .02
