With LLCs and S Corporations, members and shareholders are able to pass company losses to their personal income reporting.

In some circumstances, the LLC lets you pass more loss than in an S Corporation, most notably when it comes to real estate.

6. Reinvesting Profits There’s another twist regarding the LLC, S Corp and your taxes. As pass-through entities, individual owners of an S Corporation or LLC are liable for any taxes owed on profits — whether that money is retained in the company or put in their wallets. For example, if you own 50% of an S Corporation or LLC and that company makes $80,000 in profit, you need to report $40,000 in income on your personal tax return. And it doesn’t matter whether that $40,000 actually ended up in your pocket. This is known as “phantom income,” and can obviously cause a problem for some shareholders. What to know: If you plan on retaining money in the company (and would prefer not to have shareholders be personally taxed on this money), you should consider the C Corporation over both the LLC and S Corp. Of course, your specific situation may vary, so it’s always best to consult your accountant.

Create your thought leadership with an eye toward accrual of brand value, not revenue. The dividends may be intangible, but when thought leadership flips from push to pull (writers are seeking out your opinion, conferences are inviting you to present), then you will know that you have a thought leadership hit.”

Here it is:

As Adeo Ressi of the Founder Institute notes in the article "Mad Libs for Pitches" on TechCrunch: When completing an exercise like this, too many people "add useless adjectives, define their audience too vaguely and have a weak value proposition."

Google used to think if you linked to someone on the Internet they must have valuable content. Now Google seems to believe that if you promote content with social media it is more indicative of relevant content and less likely to be faked. Though many point out social can be faked as well. The bottom line is that all external SEO efforts are counterfeit other than one: writing, designing, recording, or videoing real and relevant content that benefits those who search.”
