I'm looking to start a small business online as a copyediting consultant - I'll be doing projects for other companies editing their ad copy, web content, etc. on a contract basis; and I'll be editing any other documents that individuals might have, including resumes and the like.
I want to do this under a business name rather than my own name, so I know I'll have to file a DBA, but how would I go about that?
Because I have no idea how far my business will go, I want to start small. Has anyone else done a similar business venture in which startup costs are rather affordable? I'd like to hear experiences from consultants in any field who do business either mainly or entirely online.
One concern I have is networking: did you do unpaid internships to establish business contacts and expand your resume and portfolio, or did you do freelance projects? Any ideas on how to go about this consulting venture would be appreciated!
Thanks for any advice and insight.
