How to Make A Living As A 1099 Independent Contractor

We are going to talk about the differences between regular employment and being an independent contractor. There will be a list of companies to apply to and how to do a reverse budget. We will also go over the difference between apps, gigs, tasks, per hour pay and talk per minute.

It is important to decide if being a 1099 contractor is the work lifestyle you want for yourself. There are both pros and cons to doing this as an income. One of the best things is the flexible schedule. Being able to schedule yourself around family needs is important to many people.

One of the cons is having to pay your own taxes and no benefits. This is definitely something to consider and budget for while you work. Always consult a tax professional before starting on your 1099 journey. A professional can help you with deductions and what percentage of money you need to hold back to pay your state and federal taxes.

Overall, I have worked as an independent contractor for years. It is a worthwhile endeavor to create the income I need to pay bills and to enhance my work skills. Thank you and good luck on your own 1099 journey!
