Hire or Buy Some Protection

You need to be sure that you have some protection in place....remember that good defense? Some new Internet employees and new Internet entrepreneurs got so involved in just getting a job or starting a business that they forget to hire or buy some protection.

You need good records. Good records are the very best defense for many situations that come up when you are working online or running an online business enterprise of any kind,

You certainly do need financial records. If you have no bookkeeping or accounting knowledge yourself, you will need to hire someone to keep financial records for you. The earlier you do this, the better off you will be. Don’t wait until January to hire a bookkeeper or start your own bookkeeping records.

If you have any bookkeeping or accounting knowledge, you might be able to keep your own records by using QuickBooks or a similar online or downloadable accounting program. There are free ones and Microsoft Money usually is included when you purchase a new computer.

There are many different accounting programs out there. Some of them are lacking in features while others are overloaded with features that you don’t need now and will most likely never need. Too much of a good thing just slows your computer down and drains the resources. Get as much as you need for your job or your online business but don’t buy more than you need.

If you are not comfortable keeping your own financial records, you can hire others to do that task for you. You can hire a bookkeeper or an accountant in the real brick and mortar world in close proximity to your home or you can hire a bookkeeper or an accountant that lives and works on the Internet.

Besides financial records, there are other records that you need. You will need to set up files on your computer to store information and make it easy for you to find.

Ø      You will need a file for your business contacts....names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses.....the name of their companies, notes of telephone conversations, emails to them and from them, etc.

Ø      You will need a file for your media contacts....names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses.....the names of the radio or TV stations, newspapers or magazines they work for, telephone conversation notes, emails to and from them, etc.

Ø      You will need a file for proposals you have sent.

Ø      You will need a file for proposals you have received.

Ø      You will need a file for contracts that you have entered into.

Ø      You will need a file for articles and ebooks that you have written and submitted...who they were submitter to....the results of the submissions, etc.

There are many other files that you will need to set up and maintain on your computer according to the work you are doing or the business that you are engaged in.
