How to Get Away from "Self-Employed" Taxes?

[MikeC]

So right now, I guess I would be considered self-employed. I have a content writing website, and me and one other independent contractor run the website.

Problem is, I'm paying regular taxes, plus the social security taxes, which is a pretty hefty amount of money.

How do I get out of the label "self-employed?" Does it just involve registering an LLC? I'm a huge tax noob, so any advice is appreciated! :smug2:
