Design Contract + Blog now runs in Chrome
A past client of mine has asked me to take on another design project. I’m really excited about this one, because I get to produce marketing material for someone to use during the Olympics. This is definitely something that I can put in my portfolio.
This won’t be a big job, but it needs to get wrapped up fairly quickly due to production time and the Olympics being just around the corner! I’ll probably make around $400 – which isn’t a lot, but definitely helps.
I don’t advertise my side business, I just take on clients who fall in my lap. Most of them are repeat clients. I know I could make a lot more through my business if I actually tried to market myself – but that would require more of a time and money commitment (need to upgrade my computer set-up). So for now I’m happy with what extra I’m able to bring in.
In blog-related news, my website now works on Chrome!!! HOORAH! The problem ended up being a little script I had to insert into my HTML to track my blog through PayPerPost. So weird, considering I’ve had that script embedded in my blog for at least 2 years. And now it decides to cause problems? Oh well. At least it’s fixed! :)

That's awesome on the 'extra' job! Every little bit helps for sure! :)
And here I am checking out what the fuss was with your site and Chrome… and you have it all fixed now. LOL. Glad to hear! And have fun with the design project. Sounds exciting.
Hey! Thanks for fixing the problem with Chrome :).
Woo! I'm on Chrome but I always thought the problem was just me! I'm glad you were able to fix it!
It also fixed the problem I was having on my IE! :D
Hi Krystal,
I was wondering how you declared your side income on your taxes, do you have a registered business, or do you declare it under your own name? Also do you put aside money from the side income to pay for the income tax? I'm in a bit of the same situation right now, where last year I made almost $10,000 in side income but don't have a registered business. I'm going to claim it on my taxes but I'm afraid of how much income tax will be due.
thanks!
oh also about Chrome, your blog hasn't worked with Chrome for as long as I can remember, it was always a non-stop re-loading of something, I was just unable to post a comment, so stuck to reading your posts via RSS.
thanks!
Anonymous: When I first decided to start up a side business, I consulted an accountant (my friend's dad).
He told me to just declare the income under my own name and not to set up a registered business. He said until I was making more than $20k/year doing side contracts, not to bother.
As for taxes paid on the side business, I personally don't worry about that because I put enough into my RRSPs so that I always get a refund. I also make sure to claim what I can as business expenses.
If I were you, I'd consult an accountant to see what your best options are going forward. That way you know that you're doing the right thing for your situation.
Hi Krystle,
You always have the best info for personal finance. I'm thinking of getting into some design consulting on the side, and was wondering how you go about dealing with GST when you bill your clients – do you charge it separately, or incorporate it into your rates?
Thanks
Mishu: GST is incorporated in the rates that I charge my clients. Because I don't have a registered business or a GST #.
