than a couple of accounts! I know several MT supes, and they are run ragged! And they don't make anything near $50K, so I am kind of skeptical about that quote. I would bet more in the $30K range. And the logic the companies use for the pay cut from MTing? That's its a guaranteed pay rather than production. I have never heard of an MT supe making that much!

You're here just like the rest of us.  Are you one of those that manages to work in addition to your 8 hour shift to get it when the work is low?

MT Professional with 5 years experience.Looking for clinicial or Independent Doc MT work I can handle anytype of account. 

The result is working every day, no full day off, but it does provide security and benefits, and right now it is worth it to me.  I am planning a trip to Egypt and Israel in late April next year, so I have some incentive to keep going. 

Good luck!

KNR (K&R) Consulting was actively recruiting for a couple of months here for their new VA accounts they had landed.  I was on their list but found something else while they were gearing up and ended up passing.

Was anyone on this forum successfully recruited for these accounts and, if so, have you started working yet and how are you liking it?

I came across their old emails and realized I'd seen absolutely nothing posted here and couldn't help but wonder whatever happened...

TIA to anyone with info!!!

If I had an attic full of treasures I would use something like Craigslist or private Yard Sale situations.  Some small towns in my area have decided people must buy a permit for yard sales.  I have some friends who set up their yard sale in my very large country yard.  They advertise and split the costs for the ad between all of them.  Some of them sell their crafts too.  Most of them make $200 to $500 in a  day.

Some people attend private auctions, like estate auctions, and buy stuff they then re-sell at yard sales.  Who's to say whether they bought the stuff at an auction or got it out of their attic.

As for the housecleaners, they don't have a business per se nor do they need a license unless they are running a business with employees.  The person doing celiac diets had to be approved by the health department but you wouldn't believe how little that cost her.  She sat up her commercial kitchen in an old Air Stream travel trailer she bought for I think she said $1500. Her dad converted it for her and spent another couple hundred dollars, then what the health department charged for their inspection and whamo, she was in a legitimate business.  She doesn't have employees but she did purchase liability insurance (smart) and that insurance and other things are deductible.  As well, the expense of the travel trailer and health department inspection are also depreciated as is her computer, phone and many other deductions that aren't available to employees.

You have to figure out the angles yourself.  If you live outside city limits it is a lot more simple.  The house cleaning people are required to file an income tax return but I seriously doubt they do so as it's a cash business and their customers can't deduct the expense on taxes.  Different story if they were doing commercial cleaning.  I'm not suggesting anyone break the law but it's up to each individual how they want to handle their business or money making effort and whether they want to  have a business or just be self-employed.  In any event, if you do form a business or become self-employed, it is likely that you would actually pay less taxes as the same deductions are available to you that are available to any large business.

I think these days about all you can do is minimize the hoops you have to jump through and go ahead and jump through those you can't avoid.  The trade-off is jump through the necessary hoops and make a living or avoid the hoops and starve to death.
