A lot of my friends know the last few months have presented huge challenges for me. Well, while I am not one to share personal details, I did a post on Outright.com’s community page and, of course, there was an incentive- $500. (To see my “story,” you’ll have to scroll down to get to it- look under “What do you think?”)
The challenge:
“Tell a story now, we want a glimpse into how complicated your taxes are and how your business, rightly, deserves your time. What are the crazy things keeping you from that IRS deadline?”
This was one of the few times I felt exceptionally qualified to compete and win.
AND I WON!!! You can read my crazy story here and you can learn more about Outright.com’s free bookkeeping service for indies like you and me. Thank you Outright!
Outright is an automated software for entrepreneurs and bookkeepers with a highly active community of members. Daily posts and Q&A’s answer questions about taxes, managing a small business and integrating with other apps, like Freshbooks.
Being the consummate PR person, I asked Outright VP of Marketing, Paul O’Brien, what motivates his team:
Whether through dealing with the back office accounting we all less-than enjoy, fostering a community of peers and experts who can help, or sharing in our success, by rewarding others for having some fun with us, we had a great time during tax season; giving everyone a chance to share their frustration with taxes and their need for some flexibility in the deadlines. I’m glad Outright.com could help entrepreneurs get through it!
Pretty cool, thanks again to you all for supporting our lives and work.
And a very special thank you to commenters M Jeske, Every Dot Connects and CNewcomb WoodWorking and to the five folks who voted my story up!
