They promise to take care of some of those hassles of self-employment, while still providing the benefits of the lifestyle.

Just curious.

Which, I think should be number 2 priority for web workers. Priority number 1 should be getting enough exercise. With exercise our brains work even better! Priority number 3 maybe could be constant productivity, aka less slacking off. :0

The first thing I did was incorporate my ‘New Jersey Concierges’ business as a LLC.

The accountant part is a must unless you like to study tax law.

I would add to the computer and software part, a comfortable (ergonomic) chair.

Being flexible rather than stuck on the original business plan also is important.

Putting money on the side when they are very busy periods is a good idea so you can make it through dry spells and manage to take time off when you need to.

Have a good day
