Are you searching for ways to generate more profitability for your business? If yes, you have to focus on two primary factors: generating revenue and reducing business costs. Many companies rely on generating sales to boost up business profitability but cutting costs while maintaining high quality service can help your company truly succeed.
One way you can carry out business success is to hire independent contractors. My name is Briana Booker and I am an independent Social Media Contractor. I offer digital marketing services to the public as well as government entities.
As a business owner, you can hire contract workers to do essential tasks for your company to cut the costs to hire full-time employees.
Here are the main benefits of hiring Independent contractors for your digital marketing efforts:
You won’t have to pay taxes related to hiring employees. Every time you hire a new employee, you have to pay payroll taxes to go towards that employee’s Social Security and Medicare. On average an employer is responsible for paying 6.2% of any employee’s salary up to $106,800 simply for Social Security. With independent social media contractors, they are responsible for paying self-employment taxes. That means you are not required to pay for Social Security, Medicare on any withholding taxes on behalf of the independent social media contractors.
Job benefits are not a need. You don’t have to offer paid vacation time, retirement plans etc to independent contractors. The social media contractors are flexible so you can cut your labor costs.
You can use the flexibility of social media contractors to your advantage because you will have increased flexibility during times of fluctuating demand. When business is slow you won’t have to waste money paying full-time employee salaries. When there’s a sudden demand, you will know you’ll have high quality work and you can affordably address business demands with your social contract work. Never again will you have to worry about being understaffed during periods of high demand or have employees that are unproductive during slow periods ( yet you’re paying the same amount to keep those employees).
Hiring an independent social media contractor is a great way to save on labor costs. I am here to offer you high quality social media contractor services. I can help you develop a custom social media package that not only meets your service needs but also helps you save more on your digital marketing efforts. Connect with me on LinkedIn and take a look at my digital marketing portfolio to see what I can offer your business today.
I offer Social Media Contracting Services nationwide, particularly Chicago, Baltimore, DC and New York. My digital marketing services are virtual but I will travel in-person to clients or have a representative from Fromgirltogirl.com come to your business for consulting services.
This summer I have worked on a relationship advice book calledA Modern Woman’s Journey To Courtly Love Attainment.The relationship advice book is finally ready for Fromgirltogirl readers and people all over the world to read!
Erykah Badu Tyrone Lyrics.
I think you better call Tyrone. Love this song Tyrone by Erykah Badu. She sounds amazing live singing Tyrone. And the song goes perfectly with our fall series: How to spot a sorry man. Here’s my cover of Tyrone:
I absolutely loved the song Cruisin by D’Angelo. Here’s my cover of Cruisin.

For those trying to connect the topic Black on Black violence as a reason for people to not voice their thoughts on the killing of black teen Trayvon Martin, I urge you to sit back and give thought on the reasons why black on black violence occurs and why Trayvon Martin got confronted by George Zimmerman for looking suspicious because he was a black young man. I occasionally check my Facebook feed to see discussion on social and cultural issues. Daniel Maree, political activist/human rights activist, status caught my eye. His status had the following remarks:
People love to talk about black on black crime as if it’s Trayvon Martin vs. Black on Black Crime. As if we have to pick between the two. Ok. Let’s talk about it. Let’s talk about drugs and guns in our inner cities. Let’s talk about how they got there. Let’s talk about Ronald Reagan. Let’s talk about Iran Contra. Let’s talk about poverty. Let’s talk about the victimization of black communities.
These black talking heads should be ashamed of themselves for not making that point. Let’s be honest about the crises that exist in our communities. Let’s not just use them as excuses for not finding justice for Trayvon. #GetSerious #Millionhoodies
I feel passionate about the matter as well. I thank Daniel Maree for speaking up about this matter. It’s time for America to have discussions on the tough topics. Drugs & guns didn’t come to inner cities simply from people in poverty being there. Drugs and guns come from people in positions of power whom profit off of the poorest of the poor. The education system has failed to teach people why these problems exist or people have failed to listen. Perhaps it’s both.
Poverty isn’t about people ” just not trying hard enough.” Anyone that truly believes that really needs to find sources that teach them why society is the way it is. When people are willing to visit the communities that have been forgotten, that is when we can find solutions together. To empathize with those that suffer, you need the will power to ask tough questions and get out of your comfort zone. We can’t wait for people in positions of power to correct a system that wasn’t made for everyone to succeed or have a good quality of life. We need to set up real family values , we need effective business plans, and we need more community unity. It’s time to wake up and do something.

My birthday is only a few days away & with that I made a new commitment to myself. The past year I have been on a spiritual journey. I have been working on it. I’m not as angry as I use to be about life & I am now accepting that some things I have no control over. One thing I never had control over was saving my older brother’s life after he fell ill. Our birthdays we always shared & this will be roughly the 5th year I didn’t share it with him. The pain of losing him is still there but it’s not as painful as before. It’s like God took that pain from me…I feel like something better is in store & I’ll see my brother again in time. Life is short. But along with my spiritual commitment I am adding a physical fitness commitment to myself. I am setting a goal to workout at least 30 minutes to 1 hour everyday. I am setting my workouts right after dinners. I am keeping hydrated and adding of fibers to my diet as well. My main focus is working on my core. Since graduating college,I gained 25 pounds. What can I say? Baltimore has good food but I don’t want my weight to get out of control. So I am doing this for my health & well being. I am a firm believer that my body will take care of me if I take care of my body. Will keep you posted on my progress. – Fromgirltogirl

Tomorrow, Wednesday March 21st 2012 is the “A Million Hoodies March For Trayvon Martin” 6pm – 9pm at Union Square in New York City. If you’re in the area, wear your hoodie.
If you’re not in the area, wear your hoodie anyways and sign the petition in support of an America that will not stand against racial profiling.
There will be plenty of upcoming events in support of Trayvon Martin’s family and the fight against racial profiling in the next few weeks.
Our generation has the power to establish a world where skin tone is not the cause of death. Actions speak louder than words. Now is the time to stand for something, for not only this generation but the generations to come.
When I left school, I didn’t think my learning stopped. I learned my learning just started & it’s more important than ever. Formal education is only a building block …you build on it. That’s when I started looking for what I love to do. I started asking myself what are things I always wanted to learn but never took the time to learn. I read something very empowering from Michael Fear, a writer for Under 30 CEO. Fear said you have to continue to learn. ” If you’re not getting better, you’re getting worse. If you’re not improving, someone else is. Do what you have to do to become a continual leaner!” So I am laying out my progression now not later. Starting with functional fitness for Spring health and wellness! Read my next article for tips on functional fitness.
