If you haven’t noticed it already…please note that we no longer display users’ surnames.

After researching the options we have decided that the removal of surnames will protect our users. You will now see only your first name and the first initial of your surname visible on site.
It will now look like this….

There is a point at the end of every conversation where the person talking has said the last thing they’re going to say, the more socially aware amongst you would recognise this, and wrap the conversation up, unfortunately there are other’s who would gormlessly stare at the person’s face waiting for another word, until they force that poor soul to release a prolonged “sooooooooo…” and shoo them away.
Knowing when to leave a conversation is certainly a skill, and it’s the same with clients. When a job ends, assuming it’s all gone well it needs to be the start of a ‘Client Relationship’, and navigating your way into a conversation that opens them up to your other skills is an essential way to start building this ‘project’ into a ‘client.’
“And I can build sites, and edms, and social media platforms, and…bye then!”
Part of the trick is not to bellow it in their face as they’re closing the door on you; instead you need to show them throughout the process that you’re capable in other areas.
Be open with advice and ideas, without critising too hard what they’re already doing or coming across too salesy. For example, if you’re working on an EDM, suggest an accompanying landing page to drive traffic to, if you’re working on a brochure suggest some alternate print specs, using QR Codes or a new style of illustration. Be active throughout the briefing process and show them you’re not just some dummy who can operate a Mac.
“Hello, what’s that noise in the background? What? You’re having an extension built in the office? Yeah I can do roofing, let me add that to your quote mate”
Nobody likes a ‘Jack of all Trades’ and it weakens your proposition. What you’re good at, make up your Core Services, and don’t be ashamed if this is a small offering – I believe they call this a “Specialist”.
Equally there’s no harm in having some trusted partners that can widen your offering. I have 2 Developers, a Photographer and a Copywriter that I’ve worked with many times and know that I can rely on. This means that I can confidently offer their skills as part of my services and it gives the client confidence in me knowing that I’m part of a larger organisation.
“You know that bloke in the pub that says he’s a Web Designer? Well, guess what, I bought him a pint, gave him a brief and he moved to Afghanistan, without telling me, missed our deadline and, he took my Tottenham pen!”
It is essential that you only promise these extra services to clients when your supporting team can be trusted so make sure you’ve worked with them before wherever possible. Offering someone else as a service then reneging on a promise to a client can do massive damage to a potential relationship, and you’re unlikely to get a second chance.
Web Expert, Social Media Guru, Branding President of Europe and Worldwide CEO of Making Customers Smile
By making your services visible to your clients regularly you’re increasing your chances of developing them into a regular revenue stream. Get your service offering down in 4 to 5 items, make it as succinct and descriptive as possible, keep it realistic and not too overblown, and write it in a language that your customers can understand.
Remember to sell your skills and not the tools that you use, clients don’t always know the difference between Photoshop and Dreamweaver, so listing that you’re an expert in specific packages is not a very strong message. Your skills should be your services, and the answers to your customers problems.
Once you’ve identified a good team of people that can expand your services, and distilled that offering down into a succinct list then you need to promote it. Start by getting it on all of your ‘About’ sections on Social Profiles consistently, not forgetting to build it into your profile information on PPH. Get it on your email footers, use it as a sign off on your PPH Bids, and quotes, and most importantly make sure you know what it is!
So, the 3 steps to extended selling of your services are:
1. Identify what you can confidently and honestly offer
2. Develop this message into a succinct and consistent list
3. Get it in your customers face, regularly.
So what do you offer? How do you get it to your customers and what examples do you have of taking a small brief and developing it into a lasting client relationship?
OK you can stop looking at me now, I’ve finished talking… soooooooo.

People who are self-employed can claim so much more as tax-deductible business expenses than employees are allowed. Often people who used to work for a company and now run their own business don’t realise what they can claim tax relief on.
So what type of expenses can be claimed?
General expenses e.g. advertising, cleaning, telephone, postage, stationery, business travel expenses.
Legal expenses e.g. accountancy fees, and many legal fees.
Staff costs e.g. wages, employers national insurance, subscriptions for staff.
Financial expenses e.g. bank charges on business accounts, interest on loans, maybe car HP or lease.
Equipment, including PC, laptop, iPad, printer and peripherals.
Research items, sometimes including internet access, newspapers, magazines and more.
Advertising, marketing and networking costs.
Allowable expenses are not just confined to those items used only in your business. You may be able to claim some of the expenses of running your home if you run the business from there. Also a car can be used privately, as well as in your business, as long as on some occasions your car is used wholly for your business. Running costs of a car, including insurance, road fund licence, car wash, AA subs can be claimed as expenses.
Example: if you pay £1.50 to park your car at work every working day during the year you will have paid around £390 just parking your car, if you claim this as an expense you could be saving £78 of tax.
What items cannot be claimed as a business expense?
Drawings, your own drawings from the business such as living expenses, personal tax and NI contributions, and fines.
Business entertaining, most gifts to customers (although these are allowable if under £50, the gift advertises your business and is not food, drink, tobacco or vouchers), charitable donations, donations to political parties.
The initial cost of capital equipment such as machinery or a vehicle as there is a separate system for claiming tax allowances on these.

If you’re freelancing full-time that means you have probably had to deal with something we all dread – taxes. During Tax Week Chartered Accountant and Managing Director Elaine Clark will be offering some advice to everyone.
Tax expert Elaine Clark
Whilst sorting out the tax and accounts is probably the last thing on your ‘To Do’ list, unfortunately it is an essential part of our day to day tasks, especially in the present climate of continuing clamps downs and task forces announced by HMRC almost on a daily basis. I know, the world of tax and accounts can be a complete minefield.
Even at the outset, making the choice on your business structure can be a complex decision.
Should you set up as a self-employed freelancer or as a limited company?
From April this year the tax paid by small limited companies (corporation tax) is the same as the basic rate of income tax – 20%.
In addition, the increase of self-employed National Insurance should prompt those operating as self-employed freelancers to review their business structures for potential tax savings.
What do you think of when you think of taxes?
Why are you a self-employed?
Maybe you decided to be a self employed sole-trader as there was less formality and paper work involved in the set up.
Maybe you didn’t realise that there was an option!
The decision on your appropriate business structure is not an easy one – it certainly isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ answer.
Your personal circumstances should determine your choice and only you can decide on the best structure for you.
Putting aside the misleading perception that a limited company gives you greater status or credibility then, in my opinion, there are two major issues to consider in deciding your business structure:
Limited or Unlimited Liability
As a sole trader there is no distinction between you and your business, you do not need to have a separate business bank account.
However, all the debts of the business are your debts.
If the assets of the business do not cover the debts then your personal assets could be used to pay the debts – including your house!
In contrast, the debts of a limited company belong to the company, which is a separate legal entity.
Except in cases where personal guarantees have been given, your personal assets will not be used to pay the debts of the company.
Tax
The second reason for a limited liability business is based on tax savings.
Tax as a Sole Trader
As a sole trader you pay the following:
income tax on profits over your personal allowance, assuming no other income
Class 2 National Insurance at £2.50 / week
Class 4 National Insurance on profits over £7,225 at a rate of 9% up to £42,475 and 2% thereafter
If your profits are below the personal allowance of £7,475 then in all likelihood it would be better to operate as a sole trader.
You will pay no income tax and will only pay a very small amount of class 4 national insurance if your profits are over £7,225.
If you profits are below £5,315 then you can also apply for an exemption to class 2 National Insurance.
Tax as a Limited Company
A limited company pays corporation tax at 20% on its profits (up to £300,000 where the rate rises).
Profits can be withdrawn from the company by way of a salary for the director(s) and dividends for shareholders. Again this assumes that the directors / shareholders have no other income.
So which is best?
This can be shown by an example…
Say your business has profits of £15,000
You have no other income
Tax as a sole trader would be:
Income tax (£15,000 – 7,475) at 20% = £1,505
Class 2 National Insurance (£2.50 x 52) = £130
Class 4 National Insurance (£15,000 – 7,225) at 9% = £700 (rounded)
Total tax = £2,335
So profits after tax are £12,665
Tax as a limited company would be:
First of all you would pay yourself a small salary at a rate where there is no tax or national insurance but at a rate where you get credits towards your state pension and other benefits.
So, you would pay a salary of £589 / month = £7,068
Your salary is an allowable expense from the profit.
So, the profit becomes £15,000 – 7,068 = £7,932
Corporation tax on the profit is 20% = £1,587 (rounded)
The profit of £7,932 is distributed from the company as a dividend and no further income tax is due on the dividend as the total income is below the higher rate threshold!
The total available after tax, is then the available profits + salary – corporation tax = £13,413
So at profits of £15,000 you would be better off as a limited company to the tune of £748.
Some may argue that this would be wiped out by an increase in accounting fees – I usually respond with “not if you are using CheapAccounting.co.uk” !
If your profits are higher the savings may also increase!
Do bear in mind that these figures look even better the more your profits are …
At profits of £30,000 as a limited company you are better off by over £2,000 and this increases to nearly £4,000 at £45,000 of profits.
One final thing….
Sell your sole trader business to your limited company
There may be the opportunity to sell your sole trader business to your limited company.
In doing this you may realise significant tax savings.
It would be inappropriate of me to give a specific example here as the savings are absolutely dependent upon your circumstances.
So my advice is to get someone to review your circumstances and work out a specific projection for you.
You may be surprised at the result!
As always it is recommended that you get advice specific to your circumstances.
The above are examples only and should only be treated as such.

Being back at work is not great, my fingers feel like a fist of sausages being dragged around the keyboard as I try to relearn how to type, it’s way colder in my office than I remember – and I’m not quite sure – what was it I used to do again?
I’m going to drape my fingers over the heater and make a few resolutions while my head gets back into ‘Work Mode’.
1. Think Better
I want to be more vigilant with my creativity. Sometimes an idea pops up and it only seems good because it indirectly reminds you of something you’ve seen that you really liked. It’s difficult to make the distinction between liking an original idea and the memory of something you thought was really good.
This year, I’m going to be more honest with my creative thinking, I’m going to break down the process behind the big ideas and make sure they’re original and directly from my own brain, in the process throwing away the crap earlier on, instead of flogging it into something reasonable and then binning it in a rage.
2. Stop Swearing at my Laptop
Is there anything more insane than sitting in an office on your own and swearing at an inanimate piece of metal? I don’t think so. Enough with the…’I can’t believe it, it’s crashed again, YOU ******* PIECE OF ****!! GREAT, A MORNING’S WORK GONE! WHY DO YOU TREAT ME LIKE THIS?’
3. Back to the Drawing Board
I make this resolution every year, and have too keep remaking it as I inevitably don’t stick to it. I want to do more work on the sketchpad before creating anything on screen. Unlike my laptop, the sketchpad is always there for me, it’s huge white page begging for some graphite, and without fail, in January it finally gets some.
I understand why it’s important to work on paper before you get to the screen, it’s easier to look at the relationship between the letters in this freehand form, and you get stronger results when you don’t restrict yourself to the fonts in your FontBook.
On the other hand, where did I put my pencil sharpener? See what I mean? It’s already over.
4. We Need Boundaries
Setting boundaries with clients and managing their expectations is something that I’ve started to do more of, and I’m going to continue into 2012. You can promise the world in a meeting, but in the cold light of day, can you deliver everything?
I’ve been using SmartSheets to put timelines together and plan project delivery dates more accurately. It’s really helpful to agree a visual representation of a project timeline before you start anything and it also urges the client to deliver assets when they’ve agreed to.
5. Get out the office more
I like my office, the light is bright, the view is beautiful and it’s very quiet. However, some days it’d be great to get out and have someone cough in my face in a crowded lift, or step in something horrible on the pavement, or listen to someone moan on about ‘How Christmas went too fast.’ Yes, all these things might sound terrible to you, but to me…actually, it really is terrible, I think I’ll stay in and Skype all my meetings for a bit longer.
6. Stop Panicking
I’m a massive panicker, I’m getting better and I’m starting to learn that if a job suddenly drops out of my schedule it’s okay. Using PPH (wink, wink..nudge, nudge) I can replace it quickly, but there’s always a moment when the terror sets in and everything looks bleak. These times are really unconstructive for me and really boring for my wife, I know she gets fed up of hearing me moan about having nothing to do one day, and too much to do the next. I have no idea why…I find my moaning totally inspirational!
7. Do…do…do
I used to do everything I could get my hands on: band artwork, flyers, posters, anything that needed a bit of creativity; but recently, (probably because I’m super busy, and we’ve had a little boy) I’ve not been as proactive on these kind of low/no paid briefs as I used to be.
This year I’m going in head first, approaching bands and labels and offering my services on really interesting portfolio pieces for whatever they can afford. On these kind of projects I work to the rule that ‘I don’t want to be the only one not getting paid,’ so if there’s money in the project then I’ll charge, if there’s not then fair enough. Either way you can’t beat the feeling of creating something you really love, and when there’s no budget in the job it means you have complete creative control.
8. No more Sugar
I went to a meeting last week, and was the only person who had sugar in my tea, I felt socially awkward about this, people were looking at me like I’d time travelled in from 1986. I had no idea sugar in the tea was the new ‘Smoking’.
If I don’t stop I’ll soon be made to sit outside of cafes to avoid ‘passive sweetening.’
These are my challenges for 2012, I can bet that I would have broken them all by the time you read this, what are yours?

Fully dressed and ready for action the first thing to do is check PPH!
7 am (approx!)
Tuesday starts like any other, with a two year old sneezing in my face. Breakfast is taken over email, and then the difficult commute begins. I negotiate around my wife who wants me to put the bins out, peel my son off my leg, and step over MakkaPakka, once I break free it’s a clean run up the stairs, and into the office.
8-9 am
I see what jobs were posted overnight and get in first on anything that looks interesting. A glance to my left shows me my schedule for the day, I’ve got a meeting in Camden at 11.30am. I always make my meetings for 11 or 12, this is for two reasons; firstly I can get in and out of London and save on the Peak-Rate ticket, and furthermore, I’m not going to get embroiled in an expensive client lunch where I spend the whole time getting stomach cramps worrying if it’s protocol for me to pay.
Two jobs need doing today, logo development for a flooring company, and a Social Media proposal for a Pomegranate juice brand, so head down and into Illustrator I get cracking with the first job, which before you laugh, it’s more interesting than you might imagine, I mean who can honestly say they don’t like, or use floors?
10 -11 am
I begin to worry if my wife has remembered to make my “milky coffee”, sometimes she forgets, and it can throw me out for the rest of the day, thank goodness today is not one of those days.
With the logos done and over to the client, I make my way to the station and onto the train, and I use this time to put some ideas together for the Social Media proposal. Only I would, if the bloke opposite me didn’t breath like he had a flute crammed up his nose. In the end it’s too distracting, I put my iPad away press my head against the window so the vibrations drown out his deathly wheezing.
11.25 ish – 1pm (approx)
In the past I’ve worked up a real sweat carrying my laptop, and a leather-bound printed portfolio to my meetings, but these days it’s all on my iPad. My portfolio is in a presentation app called ‘Slideshow’ and I take all my notes in ‘AwesomeNote’ (terrible name) which syncs to Evernote. I worried that it looked a bit flash, but one client told me that they’d rather see a designer who’s invested in their business, and presentation to look professional, rather than someone turning up with a post-it note and pencil.
The meeting goes well, some deadlines are put in place, and more importantly lunch wasn’t mentioned. I head back on a thankfully empty train to the office to write up and email the notes from the meeting, thank the client for their time and assign actions and milestones for us both to agree on. I always aim to get quotes back to my clients within 24 hours, this shows a good indication that you’re organised and dedicated from the start.
2-5pm
For the rest of the afternoon I redress the balance and make a cup of tea for me and my wife, write my proposal, write a blog about App Branding and add some new work to my site. Then I plan the rest of the week on the chalkboard, jobs in white, meetings in yellow, please don’t judge me, it’s really important for me to be this organised being as utterly stupid as I am.
An email from the Flooring Company drops into my inbox, and my heart flutters. Hearing back from a client when you’ve done work for them is always a tense moment, I click ‘read’ with one eye open, skim reading it, looking for capitals (shouting), but it looks good, they’re happy. Sweet relief.
Sadly, I’m not Peter Andre, 99% of my days are pretty average and actually miracle free, but that’s how it is for a freelancer, you live for those 1%’s when something really good pops up, and when it does, knowing that you made it happen is all the better.
However, if you’re like me, this joy lasts about 20 minutes before the panic of finding new work consumes you again.
6.30pm ‘ish’ (on a good day!)
As the evening draws in, it’s time for the big commute home, I really hope the stairs are clear tonight.
So how does your day pan out, more or less structure, longer hours and how long did you take the day off?
You can you know, you are the boss!
