Link to Twitter from Facebook, from your blog, from your guest posts,
from your videos, in your email signature, and anywhere else you can
think of. Usually if you just put an “@” sign in front of your username people will understand that you are listing your Twitter name.
2. Write a Guest Post
You can easily gain notoriety and followers by writing posts for other blogs. Running a blog can be hard work, especially if its not a hobby for you, so many people and companies now welcome well written posts to give them a break.
If you do get an opportunity to guest post, link it to your blog if
you like, but be sure to also correctly link to your Twitter account as well. Check out these ten great guest posting tips. If you are interested in writing a post for this blog get contacts here and let us know your idea for a post!.

more followers.
4. Advertise Company Vacancies
If your company of business is doing well, you can use your twitter account to advertise any vacancies of available jobs.
If twitter users realize that they may benefit from such jobs
opportunities o offers, it is more likely that they will follow you in order to
look out for your feed. Share opportunities with your followers and they will retweet and recommend you and this will lead to more followers.
5. Do Podcasts
Podcasting is a great way to get attention, it showcases your expertise, and helps build an audience.Creating your own podcast is simple.
All you have to do is download a
program such as Audacity (or, if you’re on a Mac, GarageBand works
well.) Record your audio, edit out long pauses or background noise, and make sure to mention that people should follow you on Twitter!
6. Host a Webinar
Webinars are online seminars, and can be a powerful way to build your brand and your Twitter following.
A Webinar is a perfect medium to get more Twitter followers fast,
since you can link directly to your Twitter account during and after the
webinar for attendees.
You can begin by creating a template for your slideshow that includes
your Twitter information in the bottom right hand corner. Many
attendees will automatically look in that corner of the presentation
last, while listening to your information. Encourage Twitter users to follow you throughout the presentation,
and talk about the benefits of the content you share on Twitter.
If you plan on hosting a Q&A session ask people to follow you on
Twitter and tweet their questions. Not only will this get you immediate
followers from the participants, but their followers will see the
questions being posed to you as well, and this can lead to more
followers. The software I use to host my webinars is called any meeting and it is free to use for up to 200 attendees.
7. Do customer support through Twitter,
Now, am not suggesting you throw away your help desk, but add
Twitter as a support channel. You may find that users are already
tweeting questions at you. Most good help desk software already offers
Twitter integration.
Some people like posting support questions via Twitter, as they feel
the public nature of it will lead to a faster response. Adding it will win
you some new followers providing you offer good timely support through
it, Many Upgraded Nigerian banks do this, such as Gtbank, Firstbank, UBA, FCMB, Sterling Bank, etc.
8. Integrate Twitter with Your Videos
People love to watch videos. Creating video tutorials for your area
of expertise is a great way to get exposure for yourself, and your
Twitter presence. Place your Twitter username in various places in the video, and you
can even use a watermark or video annotation so that your twitter
username is constantly visible.
If you have a YouTube channel make sure to include a link to your twitter profile on your channel page. Offline Strategies for Getting More Twitter Followers
9. Rent a Billboard
If you are really ambitious and have money to burn you can get more
Twitter followers by renting a billboard and put your Twitter name on
it. This is what Ashton Kutcher did when he was racing against CNN to be the first to 1,000,000 followers.
This strategy worked for Ashton and I’m sure it could work for you too if you have the budget to cover the cost.
10. Word of Mouth
Tell your friends and relatives to follow you on Twitter. Bring Twitter up in person when you are chatting with people.
If the people you are talking to active on Twitter convince them to
follow you, or if they are not on Twitter convince them to join. Read Part 2 Here.
There are business founders whose minds are overflowing with brilliant
ideas for new products. They seem to develop terrific new concepts
every single day of their lives. They are watchful, always inquiring,
perceptive and continually seeking (and often finding) the next big
thing. Their never-ending challenge is to pick a winner (only one!) out
of scores of possibilities, and run with it. On
the other hand, I listen to intelligent and aspiring entrepreneurs who
can’t concoct a single viable idea.
These great souls are bright and
earnest, but for some reasons, imaginative ideas escape. I look for circle of friends and I see both types of individuals. One is the
quintessential entrepreneur who has developed several companies and has
recently launched a new firm. The
other struggles to envision the next great product everyone worldwide
would want. From time to time, many people look for a method to
generating a great idea. I am happy to share the process for creating world-class ideas, in six easy steps:
1.
Infinite Ideas: Remarkable new product ideas are everywhere and there is
a limitless supply of concepts waiting to be commercialized, launched
and marketed. They are there to be seen and pursued by those who seek
them. In fact, ideas are available to everyone, worldwide, and at any
moment.
In some cases, an innovator in Israel, a developer in Lagos and a thinker in Palo
Alto will be enlightened at the same moment in time. Ideas
can be small and simple, or large and complex. A passion for a subject
may be the genesis of a compelling idea; derived from time enjoying a
cherished hobby. A new product may result from a tinkerer who sees an
opportunity to transpose an existing concept to a totally new context.
Or someone might envision blending two disparate disciplines into an
entirely new field of endeavor. Special
note: for entrepreneurs who have trouble generating ideas on their own,
they can come online or look to universities that have technology transfer offices.
Research universities have a wealth of ideas awaiting the arrival of
someone who can take the products to market. If an entrepreneur can
take a researched idea, validate it in the marketplace and license it
from the university, he or she can commercialize the product it as
though the idea were his own.
2.
Knowledge Ideas are generally developed from known facts; not from thin
air. Business builders who generate bold ideas possess a high level
of knowledge acquired by study, instruction and experience. Many high achievers have benefited from lessons learned from earlier educational
and prior career experiences that have become foundational underpinnings
of understanding.
Ideas
are born by listening to customer needs and their perspective on new
concepts; from data gathered on products manufactured and sold; from
marketing research summaries; from the results gained from pilots of
programs, and by observing established procedures. For example, an
employee may see an opportunity to start his or her new business by
automating a labor intensive and costly business procedure, via a
software application that an entire industry may purchase.
3.
Connecting the Dots: In my opinion, genius or idea generation is an
epiphany that results from a person’s ability to mentally connect the
relationship between two or more different but related facts. When
joined together, they create a clear view of something novel which has
never been seen, developed or commercialized before. For example, 60
years ago my uncle H. Tracy Hall, a research chemist and university
professor, invented and commercialized man-made diamonds.
His idea
emerged as he noted several known facts;
a) Mother nature forms natural diamonds abundantly b) via a chemical process, c) intense pressure, and
d) significant heat. e) All are powerfully focused to change the internal structure of carbon atoms. From
these facts, he formulated an idea as he theorized that he could couple
a natural chemical process with a powerful physical device to
manufacture real diamonds by replicating the powers and actions within
the earth. He envisioned, in his mind, injecting a chemical catalyst
into a tiny chamber filled with carbon crystals that would endure
extremely high temperatures and enormous pressure.
Based
on his hypothesis he developed a design, purchased the materials, built
a press system and began to test his theory of producing synthetic
diamonds. Did it work? Absolutely. Now many years later, tons of
man made diamonds are sold for cutting, grinding and drilling worldwide,
every year.
4.
Test the Idea: Dr. Hall followed what is known as the scientific method.
In short, it’s a process that begins with an observation of a
situation; perhaps a problem or opportunity. The observer then asks
himself, what is happening and why. This leads to the gathering of
information followed by a thoughtful prediction that might explain the
matter.
The process continues with an experiment to test the
prediction, followed by the collection, analysis and interpretation of
data. The process concludes with a tested and viable solution. In sum, I believe all great ideas are ultimately proven to be successful via the scientific method of discovery.
5.
Timing of Ideas: Some innovative ideas will meet the needs of consumers
today; other concepts will be conceived now but are not anticipated nor
sought yet by shoppers. Consider Xerox Parc, which developed many of
the technologies we use today.
For example, scientists at the Parc
developed laser printers, personal workstations, Ethernet, fiber optics
and the graphical user interface. Its mission was to develop the
“office of the future.’ Most
of these now famous products were imagined more than thirty years ago
and came to market long after the initial idea was born.
6.
Good Idea? Remember an idea is worth nothing until it has been
commercialized and there are paying customers. Some ideas will be wildly
profitable; others will be a failed dream. Learn to eliminate the bad
ones quickly; don’t waste your time, energy and money. In the end,
remarkable ideas lead to compelling products purchased by vast markets
of enthusiastic buyers. The goal of any dreamer is to determine what
idea will ultimately be the best choice among several options.
In conclusion, please note the following general steps leading to great ideas. Know there are ideas with your name on them. Find them. Look and see problems and opportunities within your environment. They exist. Based upon knowledge, imagine solutions to what you find. Ideas are born. Be zealous and passionate about your ideas. They’re yours. Test your ideas. Will they work and will customers want to buy them? Is the market ready for your ideas? Now or later? Are you ready to create your new idea? I welcome your thoughts.
Technology tends to separate normal from natural. Our bodies
weren't designed to eat the foods that people in rich countries eat, or
to get so little exercise.
There may be a similar problem with the way we work:
a normal job may be as bad for us intellectually as white flour
or sugar is for us physically. I began to suspect this after spending several years working
with startup founders. I've now worked with over 200 of them, and I've
noticed a definite difference between programmers working on their
own startups and those working for large organizations.
I wouldn't say founders seem happier, necessarily;
starting a startup can be very stressful. Maybe the best way to put
it is to say that they're happier in the sense that your body is
happier during a long run than sitting on a sofa eating
doughnuts. Though they're statistically abnormal, startup founders seem to be
working in a way that's more natural for humans. I was in Africa last year and saw a lot of animals in the wild that
I'd only seen in zoos before. It was remarkable how different they
seemed. Particularly lions. Lions in the wild seem about ten times
more alive. They're like different animals. I suspect that working
for oneself feels better to humans in much the same way that living
in the wild must feel better to a wide-ranging predator like a lion.
Life in a zoo is easier, but it isn't the life they were designed
for. Trees What's so unnatural about working for a big company? The root of
the problem is that humans weren't meant to work in such large
groups. Another thing you notice when you see animals in the wild is that
each species thrives in groups of a certain size. A herd of impalas
might have 100 adults; baboons maybe 20; lions rarely 10. Humans
also seem designed to work in groups, and what I've read about
hunter-gatherers accords with research on organizations and my own
experience to suggest roughly what the ideal size is: groups of 8
work well; by 20 they're getting hard to manage; and a group of 50
is really unwieldy.[1]
Whatever the upper limit is, we are clearly not meant to work in
groups of several hundred. And yet—for reasons having more
to do with technology than human nature—a great many people
work for companies with hundreds or thousands of employees. Companies know groups that large wouldn't work, so they divide
themselves into units small enough to work together. But to
coordinate these they have to introduce something new: bosses. These smaller groups are always arranged in a tree structure. Your
boss is the point where your group attaches to the tree. But when
you use this trick for dividing a large group into smaller ones,
something strange happens that I've never heard anyone mention
explicitly. In the group one level up from yours, your boss
represents your entire group. A group of 10 managers is not merely
a group of 10 people working together in the usual way. It's really
a group of groups. Which means for a group of 10 managers to work
together as if they were simply a group of 10 individuals, the group
working for each manager would have to work as if they were a single
person—the workers and manager would each share only one
person's worth of freedom between them. In practice a group of people are never able to act as if they were
one person. But in a large organization divided into groups in
this way, the pressure is always in that direction. Each group
tries its best to work as if it were the small group of individuals
that humans were designed to work in. That was the point of creating
it. And when you propagate that constraint, the result is that
each person gets freedom of action in inverse proportion to the
size of the entire tree.[2] Anyone who's worked for a large organization has felt this. You
can feel the difference between working for a company with 100
employees and one with 10,000, even if your group has only 10 people. Corn Syrup A group of 10 people within a large organization is a kind of fake
tribe. The number of people you interact with is about right. But
something is missing: individual initiative. Tribes of hunter-gatherers
have much more freedom. The leaders have a little more power than other
members of the tribe, but they don't generally tell them what to
do and when the way a boss can. It's not your boss's fault. The real problem is that in the group
above you in the hierarchy, your entire group is one virtual person.
Your boss is just the way that constraint is imparted to you. So working in a group of 10 people within a large organization feels
both right and wrong at the same time. On the surface it feels
like the kind of group you're meant to work in, but something major
is missing. A job at a big company is like high fructose corn
syrup: it has some of the qualities of things you're meant to like,
but is disastrously lacking in others. Indeed, food is an excellent metaphor to explain what's wrong with
the usual sort of job. For example, working for a big company is the default thing to do,
at least for programmers. How bad could it be? Well, food shows
that pretty clearly. If you were dropped at a random point in
America today, nearly all the food around you would be bad for you.
Humans were not designed to eat white flour, refined sugar, high
fructose corn syrup, and hydrogenated vegetable oil. And yet if
you analyzed the contents of the average grocery store you'd probably
find these four ingredients accounted for most of the calories.
"Normal" food is terribly bad for you. The only people who eat
what humans were actually designed to eat are a few Birkenstock-wearing
weirdos in Berkeley. If "normal" food is so bad for us, why is it so common? There are
two main reasons. One is that it has more immediate appeal. You
may feel lousy an hour after eating that pizza, but eating the first
couple bites feels great. The other is economies of scale.
Producing junk food scales; producing fresh vegetables doesn't.
Which means (a) junk food can be very cheap, and (b) it's worth
spending a lot to market it. If people have to choose between something that's cheap, heavily
marketed, and appealing in the short term, and something that's
expensive, obscure, and appealing in the long term, which do you
think most will choose? It's the same with work. The average MIT graduate wants to work
at Google or Microsoft, because it's a recognized brand, it's safe,
and they'll get paid a good salary right away. It's the job
equivalent of the pizza they had for lunch. The drawbacks will
only become apparent later, and then only in a vague sense of
malaise. And founders and early employees of startups, meanwhile, are like
the Birkenstock-wearing weirdos of Berkeley: though a tiny minority
of the population, they're the ones living as humans are meant to.
In an artificial world, only extremists live naturally. Programmers The restrictiveness of big company jobs is particularly hard on
programmers, because the essence of programming is to build new
things. Sales people make much the same pitches every day; support
people answer much the same questions; but once you've written a
piece of code you don't need to write it again. So a programmer
working as programmers are meant to is always making new things.
And when you're part of an organization whose structure gives each
person freedom in inverse proportion to the size of the tree, you're
going to face resistance when you do something new. This seems an inevitable consequence of bigness. It's true even
in the smartest companies. I was talking recently to a founder who
considered starting a startup right out of college, but went to
work for Google instead because he thought he'd learn more there.
He didn't learn as much as he expected. Programmers learn by doing,
and most of the things he wanted to do, he couldn't—sometimes
because the company wouldn't let him, but often because the company's
code wouldn't let him. Between the drag of legacy code, the overhead
of doing development in such a large organization, and the restrictions
imposed by interfaces owned by other groups, he could only try a
fraction of the things he would have liked to. He said he has
learned much more in his own startup, despite the fact that he has
to do all the company's errands as well as programming, because at
least when he's programming he can do whatever he wants. An obstacle downstream propagates upstream. If you're not allowed
to implement new ideas, you stop having them. And vice versa: when
you can do whatever you want, you have more ideas about what to do.
So working for yourself makes your brain more powerful in the same
way a low-restriction exhaust system makes an engine more powerful. Working for yourself doesn't have to mean starting a startup, of
course. But a programmer deciding between a regular job at a big
company and their own startup is probably going to learn more doing
the startup. You can adjust the amount of freedom you get by scaling the size
of company you work for. If you start the company, you'll have the
most freedom. If you become one of the first 10 employees you'll
have almost as much freedom as the founders. Even a company with
100 people will feel different from one with 1000. Working for a small company doesn't ensure freedom. The tree
structure of large organizations sets an upper bound on freedom,
not a lower bound. The head of a small company may still choose
to be a tyrant. The point is that a large organization is compelled
by its structure to be one. Consequences That has real consequences for both organizations and individuals.
One is that companies will inevitably slow down as they grow larger,
no matter how hard they try to keep their startup mojo. It's a
consequence of the tree structure that every large organization is
forced to adopt. Or rather, a large organization could only avoid slowing down if
they avoided tree structure. And since human nature limits the
size of group that can work together, the only way I can imagine
for larger groups to avoid tree structure would be to have no
structure: to have each group actually be independent, and to work
together the way components of a market economy do. That might be worth exploring. I suspect there are already some
highly partitionable businesses that lean this way. But I don't
know any technology companies that have done it. There is one thing companies can do short of structuring themselves
as sponges: they can stay small. If I'm right, then it really
pays to keep a company as small as it can be at every stage.
Particularly a technology company. Which means it's doubly important
to hire the best people. Mediocre hires hurt you twice: they get
less done, but they also make you big, because you need more of
them to solve a given problem. For individuals the upshot is the same: aim small. It will always
suck to work for large organizations, and the larger the organization,
the more it will suck. In an essay I wrote a couple years ago
I advised graduating seniors
to work for a couple years for another company before starting their
own. I'd modify that now. Work for another company if you want
to, but only for a small one, and if you want to start your own
startup, go ahead. The reason I suggested college graduates not start startups immediately
was that I felt most would fail. And they will. But ambitious
programmers are better off doing their own thing and failing than
going to work at a big company. Certainly they'll learn more. They
might even be better off financially. A lot of people in their
early twenties get into debt, because their expenses grow even
faster than the salary that seemed so high when they left school.
At least if you start a startup and fail your net worth will be
zero rather than negative.
[3] We've now funded so many different types of founders that we have
enough data to see patterns, and there seems to be no benefit from
working for a big company. The people who've worked for a few years
do seem better than the ones straight out of college, but only
because they're that much older. The people who come to us from big companies often seem kind of
conservative. It's hard to say how much is because big companies
made them that way, and how much is the natural conservatism that
made them work for the big companies in the first place. But
certainly a large part of it is learned. I know because I've seen
it burn off. Having seen that happen so many times is one of the things that
convinces me that working for oneself, or at least for a small
group, is the natural way for programmers to live. Founders arriving
at Y Combinator often have the downtrodden air of refugees. Three
months later they're transformed: they have so much more confidence
that they seem as if they've grown several inches taller.
[4]
Strange as this sounds, they seem both more worried and happier at the same
time. Which is exactly how I'd describe the way lions seem in the
wild. Watching employees get transformed into founders makes it clear
that the difference between the two is due mostly to environment—and
in particular that the environment in big companies is toxic to
programmers. In the first couple weeks of working on their own
startup they seem to come to life, because finally they're working
the way people are meant to. Notes [1]
When I talk about humans being meant or designed to live a
certain way, I mean by evolution. [2]
It's not only the leaves who suffer. The constraint propagates
up as well as down. So managers are constrained too; instead of
just doing things, they have to act through subordinates. [3]
Do not finance your startup with credit cards. Financing a
startup with debt is usually a stupid move, and credit card debt
stupidest of all. Credit card debt is a bad idea, period. It is
a trap set by evil companies for the desperate and the foolish. [4]
The founders we fund used to be younger (initially we encouraged
undergrads to apply), and the first couple times I saw this I used
to wonder if they were actually getting physically taller.

Before going into full details, let's consider this, it is wise and smart not to work for money, but to find ways to make money work for you. Creating wealth is not actually in the amount of money you earn, but it's in your consciousness and what you do with the money that comes into your hands, especially on regular basis. Now, let's see the different meanings of Investment.
1. An investment is the action or process of investing money for profit:
2. A thing that is worth buying because it may be profitable or useful in the future:
3. An act of devoting time, effort, or energy to a particular undertaking with the expectation of a worthwhile result: (by and large.)
4. The time spent in attending the seminar or conference is an investment in our professional (carrier or) future. These are all the dictionary definition(s) of Investment. Therefore, In a nutshell, Investment is simply sending money an errand to go forth and bring more value, either in cash or kind.
Consequently, for your investments to be successful, you are required to have some basic tools to enhance it, if not you may end up regretting your efforts.There is a saying that all that glitters isn't gold!
The word Investment has been so bastardized these days, some people are even afraid of it instead of embracing it gladly. Why? Because of the negative experience (s) that befell them in the name of Investments. This is the reason you need to know what core and real Investments are and how to succeed in them. To do that successfully, you need tools to guide you.
Right knowledge and information is what you need. Because knowledge, information and experience are better tools for right decision making, than blind trust on any broker or individual when you are engaging in an investment of any kind. For instance, If you are looking for gold, you must know the real or original gold, else someone may give you a shining stone in its place and you will take it because you can't differentiate between the two.
Knowledge will help you to know the real Investments from the fake ones. And right information will guide you through the ups and downs of Investments. Now let me state clearly, any Investment that is not well regulated or defined by a competent body isn't a proper and safe Investments.They may look like it, but they aren't, as far as I'm concerned.
My focus is on the well regulated or defined Investment vehicles for wealth creation. Practiced for ages and have been found to stand the test of time. And not those still on the testing labs/stage for now. What are those real Investment vehicles, you may be asking. Here they are, Business Enterprise, Farming, Real estate, Shares, Metal properties, Patents, Money asset instruments, etc.
They are the top or major investment vehicles for creating wealth, so I advise you to focus on them, because they are well regulated and defined; the world over and have proven themselves and have stood the test of time. Invariably when I harp on Investments on this platform, they are the ones I'm referring to; but more especially, Investment in the stock market.
Please take note. Then you ask, what of Forex, bitcoins, cryptocurrency, the internet farming schemes and their likes. Please are they well regulated and defined; if yes, fine and good. Then go ahead, if you can be able to dance it's music. But if you can't, run with your dear money. To avoid had I known.
Furthermore, you may still want to find out about, pools, sports betting, casinos and Ponzi schemes and all manner of things, calling itself Investments today.
Are they not Investments too, you say; after all they have been used by some people to become millionaire's and even billionaires. My dear, my simple and honest answer is, they are not. They are simply gambling and in gambling, you may win or lose. And if you lose, all your money invested is gone.
Be vigilant, Stay relevant and woke, Infact the need to really differentiate between the core Investments vehicles and others that look like it, turn from ignorance to knowledge. And not to deceive or lead anyone astray. Therefore, I do not desire any of us to regret his or her involvement in the Investment world. Please invest, but learn how to do it intelligently, because it is the easiest way to make your money work for you, even while you are sleeping. But be wise about it.
So let me conclude by saying; get rich quick schemes of any kind, aren't Investments, they can be regarded as gambling. Make sure that the Investment(s) you are involving your money into, is well regulated and defined. If not, leave it. Unless you want to gamble with your hard earned money.
Real Investments must have a future. It may go down in value today, yet it has the potential to rise tomorrow. That's why I don't get perturbed when the value of my shares go down. But I am careful when selling.
That goes to show that real Investment, requires time, consistent efforts, patience, perseverance, knowledge, etc to nature and for it to yield real fruits or good results over time. And for you and I to have this good results, we need competent knowledge and right information(s) always. And this can only be done through books, articles, seminars, conferences, mentoring etc.
But if you aren't prepared for that or to arm yourself with the requisite knowledge and skills or strategies, then accept whatever you get from your investments. All the best, Don't fall for half baked truth. Have a nice weekend.

The following are a few tips that you need to consider if you want to be successful in pro blogging:
1. Be patient. Pro blogging requires a lot of time and effort, not to mention a long-term vision.

1- Cover Page and Table of Contents: Not a lot to add here, make it brief and attractive.
2- Executive Summary: The Executive Summary is usually a one-page
summary of the contents of the business plan; as I mentioned above, some
business plans only consist of this section.
3- Mission and Vision Statement: A mission statement summarizes a company's
purpose in one or two paragraphs: why it exists. It's usually made up of
a general description of the organization, its function, and its objectives.
The vision, on the other hand, talks about what the company aspires to be in
the future. Here's an excellent article from
Hubspot on how to write your mission/vision.
4- Business Description: A more detailed description of the company, what it will do and how will it
make money.
5-
SWOT analysis: The Strength -Weaknesses- Opportunities -Threats summary is a famous exercise used
in business to assess the state of the industry, the market, and the competitor
environment. Here is a sample SWOT analysis template that you can try out here.
6-
Competitor Analysis: Very much related to the SWOT Analysis mentioned above, the competitor analysis
should provide a more personal review of what the company is doing, their
traction and state and how the company intends to differentiate.
7-
Market Analysis: A market analysis is a review of the state and maturity of the market the
venture intends to attack, as well as an assessment of the market size or
market potential.
8-
Marketing Plan or Go-To-Market Plan: Defining a marketing strategy early on is very hard, but
it's important to note the first and second plans the company intends to
experiment with. Summarize two or three core customer
acquisition and growth strategies and a basic overview of how you plan to
implement them.
9-
Operations Plan: The operations plan is mostly a summary of your plans for the company
operation: How many offices will it have? How do you plan to hire? How will you
expand the productivity?
10- Financial Plan: The financial plan should be a detailed 12
month projection of the business cash flow, and a simpler 4-5 year projection. All the best and have a nice day.
A partnership formation is not a separate taxable entity
from its owners; the Internal Revenue Service labels a Partnership as a
“pass-through entity.” This categorization implies that the partnership itself
is not susceptible to the income tax obligation for any profit earned.
The
business income of the partnership “passes through” the business to the
individual partners, who in turn, are required to report their share of profits
or losses on their individual income tax returns.
Moreover, each partner is
required to make a quarterly estimated tax payment to the Internal Revenue
Service per year. Partners aligned with the formation are not employees.
Because of this classification, they are not to be issued a
W-2 form. Although the partnership, as a formation, does not pay taxes, it
is required to file IRS Form 1065 (an information tax form) each year. This
information form arranges each partner’s share of the formation’s profits or losses.
The Internal Revenue Service reviews this information to ensure that the
partners are reporting their income accurately. In addition to Form 1065, the
partnership must also file Schedule K-1 to the Internal Revenue Service and to
each partner.
In turn, each individual partner is required to report the profit
and loss information on their individual tax return (Form 1040) with the
Schedule E attached.
Because a partnership does not have a department to compute
and withhold income taxes, each individual partner must set aside enough cash
to pay taxes on their share of the formation’s annual profits.
A partner must
estimate their tax obligation they will owe for the year and provide payment to
the IRS each quarter.
The Internal Revenue Service will require each partner to
pay incomes taxes on their distributive share.
The distributive share refers to
the individual’s portion of profits to which the individual partner is entitled
to under the partnership agreement or state law (only if the partnership does
not form an agreement).
The IRS will treat each partner as though they received
their distributive share each year. This ruling means that the partner must pay
taxes on their share of the formation’s profits (sales minus expenses)
regardless of how much money they actually earn or take from the entity.
Individuals in a partnership—in addition to personal income
taxes—are required to pay a “self-employment tax” for all of the profits
allocated to the individual from the partnership. The self-employment tax will
consist of contributions to Medicare and Social Security programs.
Partners maintain different tax obligations than regular
employees of a corporation or other business formation. Because an employer
does not withhold taxes from partners paychecks, the partner must pay them with
their regular income taxes.
Furthermore, a partner must pay twice as much as
employees, because the employees’ contributions are matched by their employer.
That being said, a partner can deduct of their self-employment contribution
from their income, which in turn, lower their tax obligation. Enjoy your day.
