I have a major interest in opening my own clothing store? -
I did it now have a small chain. The #1 thing is going to be money. There is really nothing you will learn in school to help you. Some classes on sales, marketing, and taxes, computers (for your own website) will make it a lot easier tho,When the day comes that you actually want to do it, let me know I will give you the step by steps version.
money is key! you have to have constant look over it. if your income becomes less every month then you need to think of a new way to get people back into your store. you got to work your hardest at selling whatever merchandise you have. a buisness, accounting, or managment degree would help with this job. (mainly management and buisness) sorry for being brutal lol. good luck
it is not easy to open a clothing store.so please carefully.i know a website who sales clothing, maybe you can have a look. www.fashionsaler.com

I need a lot of chairs (approx 100) for cheap, for my schools common room. WHAT CAN I DO? -
Best way to look for the big stores or better the manufacturer s / companies of those kind of chairs you want .. You have to go through as many as you can and try to cut a deal.. I could help you.. yet I m in USA.. so shipping charges will hurt you.. so The best option is to try and look for those kind of people and stores or companies and see.. You could try other schools, and see if they have unused, or extra chairs, etc... .. or if they are reselling some chairs after rennovations, etc..good luck and have a great day ..
How can i start up my own online dating site? -
Can you copyright, or trademark a made up word, or name? -
You wouldn t copyright it. Copyrights can be obtained for things of an artistic nature. This includes, of course, poetry, films, sculptures, music, fiction, etc. But can also include things that may not necessarily seem artistic in the general sense of the word. Copyrights can also be obtained for advertising copy, games, software programs and blueprints, to name just a few. To protect a business name within your industry, you would apply for a trademark.Trademarks can be names of products or services, logos, slogans, packaging and even sounds and smells. In essence, a trademark can be almost anything that is used to identify a particular product or service. Registering a trademark grants the owner exclusive rights to the mark within the specified industry. Of course, it s necessary to research the mark comprehensively prior to filing to ensure that there is no possibility of infringing upon another party. This entails searching the pending registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark. To register a trademark, that s done either through your Secretary of State for a State trademark or the US Patent Trademark Office for a Federal trademark. If you are only conducting business in one state, then a State trademark is most appropriate. If you conduct (OR are planning to conduct) business in at least 2 states OR between the US any other country, you can file for a Federal trademark.Hope that helps! I wish you much success happiness in all your ventures!
You re welcome! If I can answer any other trademark questions for you, please let me know. Best of luck to you! Report Abuse
You can trademark a name for a common item (like Zippo for lighters) or you can copy-write a book, essay or artwork - all you have to do is go to your printer and ask him to put the letter c inside a circle and put in your piece - usually as a small printed line at the bottom of the page. There is no other formal way to copy-write. The way you protect your copy-write, is to take a copy of your published work, and put it in a envelop and seal it very well, then send it to yourself - this will prove (by date of mailed piece) that you thought of this first, and that you can prove in a court of law, should someone actually steal your printed plans/ideas/corporation paperwork, what ever. A long time ago, I was working for this fellow, and he decided to print up a coupon type flyer and he named it The good life - about 6 months into production, he received a letter from an attorney, who informed him that he would have to stop using that title for his coupon flyer - as it was being used in a real newsletter, and if he continued - he would be sued for any profits for as long as he insisted on producing the flyer.
You can try. The guys name eludes me right now but the coach of one of the college basketball teams tried to copy-write the term threepete

They are most definitely not all scams, you just have to be smart about it. You have to expect to really work, not click things and fill out surveys. Don t pay a dime and keep your credit card number to yourself. You didn t say anything about what kind of work you want to do so I would just suggest www.athomeopps.com This is a site that lists many companies that hire people to work from home, full time, part time, or freelance.
most are BS. I would google Best Ways to Make Money Online and see what comes up. I tried to go through this once and you really don t make much money online instantly. A lot of it is like doing blogs and getting paid a small amount for each one... After googling, look up each company/website and make sure it is NOT a scam!
Those are all scams one way or another. Real work requires a real job, IF you want to get paid REAL money.
those websites where you click pages for like 1 cent a click
there are no real online jobs.
Starting a tutoring business? -
The ad looks good to me but I would recommend that you mention that the tutoring will be performed by a high school student so that prospective clients know up front and won t be blindsided...expecting to find professional instructors and finding, instead, the neighborhood teenager. There s nothing wrong with a high school student tutoring elementary school kids but you want to let the parents know up front. You might change the first line of your ad to read High school student offers tutoring and homework help for your child . I would also recommend that you consider charging more than $5/hour for this service. If you are worth $5/hour then you are certainly worth $10/hour. $10/hour is not prohibitively expensive for parents who are willing to pay for tutoring services for their kids. If the business proves to be succesful you should consider raising your rates to $15/hour. $5/hour is way too little for this type of service. Good luck with your new business.

How to choose the right business when you are at home? -
Hi Mark,Use your computer to search business opportunities on the Internet. It s tough to know who you can trust, so do your due diligence. I went through the same search less than a year ago. Found several legitimate businesses and far too many that weren t. If you only need to earn small amounts, affiliate marketing seems pretty good. If you re interested in building a business for life, consider internet marketing. The potential is fabulous. Especially during a recession, when good jobs are so scarce. You can earn an excellent income from home even during a recession or depression. When you re just beginning, look for a company with a turnkey system. This can help guarantee your success. Good luck with your search!
I think eStore is another idea you can consider. You decide items or lines that interest you. Contact the manufacturer or distributor and ask for product discount and other terms and condition. There are handful of available sites where you can post products of your choice and get orders. Earn from commission on this products. You need no big capital. No personal selling as well. Send me email at adettepurto@yahoo.com if you re interested for homebiz program.http://www.sulit.com.ph/index.php/view+classifieds/id/1777550/Tamanu+Skinaid+Income+Opportunity
What s right for one person may not be what s right for another. Check out the 2nd link on my profile. It that s not right for you then email me. I can suggest several that I know are legit and are atleast worth looking into to see if they are a good fit for you.
Consider good data entry online sites. There are many paid to read email sites like rupeemail. you can serch on free classifieds.
Being at home is an outstanding idea

Starting a doggy day care? -
It sounds like you have already put a lot of thought into this. Kudos to you and your friends! How about dog washing / bathing as another service to offer? And Vet visits for doctor appointments?Oh - an idea is to snap pictures of the dogs, and after a few repeat visits, offer a free trinket, like a framed picture of the dog or a bookmark or something.The pricing seems VERY reasonable, which is good, but be sure to calculate all expenses so that you do not end up loosing most of the time. Have you thought about marketing? Consider using flyers, newspaper ads and HOA meetings for spreading the word to your neighbors.Check out some websites for some ideas and think about creating your own website for information like your times and prices.

Do online surveys work? -
Try signing up with companies directly. I have not been into the online survey thing, it is a scam, paying pennies an hour at most.When my last child was an infant we worked for Proctor and Gamble doing surveys. They paid me a little, about $25 for each survey regarding infants. But, where I really benefited was she had a completely free supply of all baby products they had, including diapers. New products, not yet on the market, came in the mail every week. I tried each one and did a survey for each. I only made a couple hundred a month, but saved more in the free diapers, wipes, ointments, etc.
I guess if you find a reliable online surveys website, you will get your money when yoiu reach certain threshold like $10-20. And most online surveys are only available in US and Canada only. There is a list of online surveys in this website http://www.createmoneywebsite.com/onlineSurveys.html . You can have a look for other ways to make money online there is you re interested.
I believe what you are looking to participate in is not an online survey but a focus group. Online surveys pay pennies and there is no sense wasting your time thinking you will be making any money performing them. You are wasting your time and getting in debt if you give your time over to such surveys. What you want to look into are focus groups. I have seen pay ranges between $25-$300 for a few hours of your input. Two that you should give a try are C2 Consumer Research and Delve. www.shopping-incognito.com lists information and resources for those interested in Self-Employment, Secret Shopping, Focus Groups, Internet Business and Legitimate Work-At-Home opportunities.If what you really want to do is make money and not do surveys there is a risk free internet business with low start up (under $100) that teaches you how to truly make money online. www.maverickmoneymakersmogul.com (they have a 60-day money-back guarantee through clickbank)
All the ones I use work, but I am very careful about which ones I join. I ve never had to ever subscribe to more sites though, all the ones I am a member of I just signed up for them and now I take their surveys and get paid. Opinion Outpost, Global Test Market, Daily Survey Panel, Palm Research, and Survey Spot are just a few to name.
Well, i dint really like doing surveys because they take to long to do. so i just find site like cash crate, or one that i found called cash4free. that s the first site I ve made minimum pay-out on, and the money went strait into my pay-pal :3dont worry, its legit, and the pay out is only $15 along with a sign-up bonus of $5. and you don t have to wait for your offers to pend, as soon as the requirements are met, you get paid for that offer :3here is the link: http://www.cash4free.com/?ref=392997give it a try! ^^good luck! :D
They all differ with what they pay and how they pay. Some pay in cash but the 5 minute surveys usually take 3 - 4 times longer. Some of them pay with their own equivalent cash which is hard to spend. So far I have found they aren t as good as they say. Good luck
I have never had any success with online surveys.I work with the Powerbar Club which is a completely free home based online business. Send me an email and I will be more than happy to work with you directly.
it only works if you join a legitimate reputable company. stackchange.com reviews survey sites that actually work.
What is the law saying that the government can not say how buisness run. Or how much they sell the products?!? -
We have a bunch of Democrats in power. There is nothing sacred right now, just take the credit card companies, and health care for example (disregarding whether it needs it or not).Realistically, the government isn t going to get involved in your business as long as you don t do anything illegal, and you pay your taxes.
What are you talking about? Government interferes in businesses every day. However, there are no laws restricting how mush you can sell an item for,
Im very very scared and i dont know what to do.? -
You need to go back to whatever website you ordered the books from and contact the company. They have to respond to you. If not, you have to contact the credit card company, bank or whatever you re using. I don t know what country you re in, so I don t know the laws.It sounds as if you got signed up for some kind of subscription or something. But definitely look into it! We can t help you, you must help yourself. Good luck!
Im a small business, do I have to show my receipts to customer I do work for? -
Do not show your receipts.Explain to him that your business expenses are a private matter that you do not discuss with anyone except your accountant.Stand your ground regardless.Tell him if he is unhappy with the price that he should settle up with you and then seek someone else to do his power washing.Over time when you are in business you will realize that there are some customers you just need to let go because they are too much of a pain in the rear and too cheap.Don t let him push you around. Your business is none of his business period.
Your mark up might be too high, but point out that the original cost of the chemicals does not include the costs of safely storing them. Produce the sales receipt of your pressure washer. The receipts for the chemicals is optional, in my opinion.If he is being a jerk, show him copies of all the reciepts-the pressure washer, the chemicals, the gasoline (to haul the stuff to his house), your insurance premiums, and the truck s sales reciept. Flood him with paperwork.
Why did you add a mark up? Because he takes 30 days? Unless otherwised noted that he has 30 - 60- 90 days to pay his bill then you should be up front and tell him you expect payment immediately after you finish your work. Do you use your own water on a truck mount or do you use your clients water supply? If you use your own you can produce a breakdown of water usage, gas for pressure washer, cleaning supplies, and hourly rate for labor. You might in the future state that payment is expected upon completion.
How to be a good in retail? -
This is important for any retail/sales job. It works for any position in any market with that job title. I learned it myself when I was a property manager for a storage company. To start, you first need to know your product. In order to sell your product, you have to know everything there is about it. Learn it, study it, know it. If you do not know anything about your product you are selling, how will you be able to answer questions to customers? You never know what a customer will ask you. It could be as silly as what thread is used or material is used in the clothes. Not knowing anything about your product, will not help with selling tactics to customers. For example: What are the benefits of these clothes? Do they last longer? Machine washed? Things like that are good to know to sell to someone. What are your current clearance items? What s in style now? You must be able to know your company you are working for to. The details of the birth of company (how it came about), the owner, what their mission is, and where other stores are also located near you. Know your competitors too. For instance: you could have other clothing department stores such as Aeropastalle or Pacific Sunwear near by. They sort of sell similar style clothes to Tommy Hilfiger. What is better about your store than theirs? Cost? Hours to customers? Order online option? If we don t have it we can get it for you? Etc. Once you learn those items which usually is covered in training, you can start to have confidence in communicating with customers. Not knowing anything about the product and background, yes you will have lack of communication skills. It s not going to be an over night learning experience. It s going to take time and you eventually learn what works best for you in the work place and strategy with customers. Definitely tune into your co-workers/managers advice on criticism if any is presence towards you. Don t take offense to criticism. Learn to love it. The reason is, you might hear someone elses competitive idea is better than what is not working for you and theirs may work for you too!Good comes with time and practice in retail. You don t always start off as #1. Who knows, maybe once you get started on the job you may find you do start off with real talent in this industry. Can t know until you give it your best shot!Best of luck and I hope I helped

My bf wants to start a roofing company what does he need to start? -
He will need business insurance to cover not only him but his customers, and employees. Before going too far determine the cost of insurance and bonding sometimes they surprise people. There are a few other things to think about.1) Find out who your competition if any in this specialty.2) If there is a lot of competition you will need to determine what will set you apart. Maybe you can add other specialties such as tile, shake, etc.3) Licensing-Business, state, county, city, etc.4) If possible get references and customer interest.5) Once you determine these do a Google search to find additional information. One good information site is the SBA.

I want to start my own face and bod painting business.? -
Keep an eye open for Children s Fairs, Parties and events. These events may have Face/Body painters. Talk to them. They may be friendly and helpful. Maybe you could work for them to learn. But be careful. They may view you as potential competition. Also, there may be organizations that can be helpful to get you started. Search the net - there s lots there under face painting Good Luck.
Hi Letice,You start with a business plan. Even if you decide never to actually start up, a plan will help you decide if it is worth the effort, time and money.Planning is key. In order to plan effectively, you must conduct some research. What do you need to provide your services? Who will you provide them to? Who are you competing against? What makes you better; gives you an edge ? How are you going to reach your prospects/potential clients? Answering these kinds of questions gives you a basis to begin a business plan.You can download my free research outline at www.abusinessmentor.comIt should certainly guide you in the right direction.Good Luck!
I want to start a pet boarding/daycare out of my home. I live in Texas, do I HAVE to be licensed or insured? -
To be honest, I don t know the legal answer to your question. I suspect that you will have to have some sort of license, though, in order to make sure that you can take care of the animals.As a pet owner (currently I am owned by three cats, but I ve had dogs in the past), I would not be willing to trust my animals to anyone who DOESN T have insurance, whether it s legally required or not. You might want to think about that for a while. The people who care about their pets will want the best of care, and those are the ones who will board their pets. The people who take a more casual approach are more likely to have someone drop by their house and throw a can of dog food in the back yard.
umm...well that is ironic..you want it to be professional yet not insured or licensed..No pet owner with a brain is going to leave the love of their life with someone who isn t..and yes you do need to be..
How Can I Begin to Work From Home !? -
You can only obtain legitimate work from home positions from brick and mortar companies. You want to send your resume out to companies hiring for positions you are qualified for, but include in your resume that you have a home office and you wish to work remotely. Include how you have your home office set up and what equipment you already have in order for you to perform your job. These jobs are just going to advertised as jobs, they would not promote them as work at home because they would hear from too many unqualified people.
It is sad to see the many scams that have appeared in response to your question.I honestly believe that you are trying to get a job at home so you can look after your child and yet earn some income for the family; but asking this question here gets you nothing but scams.The only way to get such a job is to possess skills that are relatively uncommon, and that a company will want to pay you for. You can look for advertisements that require your type of skill, and apply for the job with the condition that you need to work from home, but am willing to go to the office occasionally.

I am working from home, but I own home based businesses, not a job working for someone else. www.alpineaccess.com has work at home jobs, but it s phone based work and won t be able to do it with the baby there. I ve got a baby too. It s very difficult to work from home with a baby.You can also try www.kgb.com or chacha.com, but they don t pay very well.If you want suggestions on home based businesses just email me.
Hi Kanece,Many moms take on the challenge that you want to take of raising their child, but staying at home to work. I know I loved when my mom stayed at home with us kids.There are legitimate work from home opportunities out there, but you have to know where to look. Opportunities include roles such as administrative, clerical, word processing, proofreading, transcription, billing, assembly, appointment setting, packaging, photography, graphic design, web design, article writing. You shouldn t be charged any fees by the employer for the job. Also, there is no such thing as a get-rich-quick opportunity. There are home-based positions worldwide, for any skill level, any language, various educational levels and employment backgrounds. Looking for work from home jobs can be difficult, but this company can help you out: http://ohurl.com/tt
What to put on business card? -
For my business I put: Graphic DesignerEven though I m: accounts receivable, accounts payable, tax accountant, webmaster, owner, etc etc etc.Just put on there what you do.
A business card should be easy to read and clearly define who you are, what you do and how to easily contact you. Don t be too boisterous about yourself. If you are the sole person in the business, then you are the founder, owner, director and bottle washer all in one! Just put your name and underneath it the type of business
I think Director and Founder sound kind of lame when you are a single person business. I would stick with owner or even no title at all.
I WOULD SUGGEST PROPRIETOR
Would you pay $60 a month for a professional website for your business? -
For web hosting, or the design? For hosting, that is a horrible price. For design, it depends on how good of a job they do.

How to get a jewlery busness going as a preteen? -
A good way to sell it is on www.etsy.com (it is like the craft version of ebay) or you could use blogger (www.blogger.com) and create a website to sell your items on. Advertise on facebook - place your website name as your facebook status and tell everyone to check out your jewlery. Good luck!
First, you need to make or buy the jewelry you plan on selling. Then just tell all your friends about it and have them spread the word.Make sure your selling quality stuff though or else no one will buy.
Ummmm can you legally do that, since you don;t pay taxes? Isn t it against child labor laws, as well?
You re kidding right?

Business days..please help?!? -
You will get it Monday through Wednesday of next week - unless you order it early enough on Wednesday in which case there is an outside chance (slim) of it being delivered on Thursday (if they can get it out the door early Wednesday, the rest of Wed. is business day 1 and Thur would be business day 2). Christmas is not a business day, nor is Saturday or Sunday, so if you order too late on Wed., business day 1 is Thursday and business day 2 is Monday.
Christmas Eve is not a national holiday...most stores and retailers are open until 6 or 7 in the evening and UPS delivers. Report Abuse
In a week there a 5 business days (except on long weekends). Say if you odered a product on thursday and it takes 3 business days to arive. Friday will be your first business day, monday will be your second business day, then teusday will be your 3rd business day and finally the product will arive on wednesday. Now if it was a long weekend monday would have not been counted as a business day.
How can Ebay sell Windows 7 for as low as $30.00? fjw75? -
It s hot, or it s an unauthorized copy that you won t be able to get updates for. And if you ve used any version of windows, you know what I m talking about.
My cousin bought Vista on eBay for $25. It was just the box. No software at all. The listing never said it was the software so he was out $25. Buyer beware with eBay.

Can I Start a Used Car Dealership In One State? -
I believe you follow the laws as to where the business is physically located.
it will be a tough job for you to sell the cars from the other state because it would take a lot work to be done in the paper like transfer of insurance n payment of taxes in the state, where u r residing. if u get the clearance of the insurance and other paper works . then it is possible.

When shipping says 3-4 business days. How many days should I really expect.? -
it mean 3-4 business days.. it will arrive within that time.... so with the holiday season you could expect it on the 4th day at most.. Good luck and have a great day ..
most reputable companies mean just what they say. There is no benefit of them lying. You need to consider the large volume of shipments this time of year so it may be a day or two behind.
Help with eBay shipping calculator? -

Are there any real legitimate work at home jobs like data entry or something? -
Have you looked into medical transcription? A lot of medical transcriptionists work from home. The majority of them do actually. A medical transcriptionist listens to doctor dictation and types it out for the patient s medical record. It is all done on the computer and files are transferred between you and your employer via the internet. Training is required unless you have had prior experience so there would be the cost of training you would have to incur. I know you mentioned that you didn t want any start up costs but this would be for education. Here is a link for more info on what a medical transcriptionist does and on training if you are interested! http://www.careerstep.com/workathome/?ui��Not sure what you were getting paid at your last job but medical transcriptionists made a median annual salary of $28,030 in 2006 according to the department of labor. So you can make a decent living. If you are a very fast typer, you can potentially make more money because medical transcriptionists are usually paid by the line instead of the hour. Best of luck!

I own a small fast food shop pay all my rates and taxes all takeings go into till now someone wants to open a? -
Hi Franciswhat you can do comes into two parts, protective and marketingProtective:-Check that the snack van has planning permission - and lodge an appeal with the planning authority!-Check out the van operator, do they have all the proper food hygiene licenses? if not complain to trading standards.Marketing:-make sure that your food and drink is the best it can possibly be. don t compete on price, compete on quality and choice and service! Remember price isn t everything! otherwise why would anybody every buy an expensive watch or handbag!-if you have space have a couple of tables and chairs (check your planning permission first)-update your shop. repaint it, get a brighter bigger sign! put a A-board sign outside (check with the local authority first)-change your opening hours - to reach a different clientele?-do some advertising, put flyers in local businesses or cars in local carparks? -do a promotion, eg buy one get one halfprice to bring in customers.I am sure there is other stuff that you can think off, just get creative!Jonathan
they need a special licence from the local council to do this to enable him to sell from a public highway. undercut his prices is the first thing you do take it from there!!
Offer something different to what the snack van has.

Advice on starting a business for my son? -
Go to the local dairies and ask. They probably supply the delivery vehicles on a hire basis. I expect your son s mate gave it up because his income was declining. And it probably still is. You need a business plan.
I think having a third party resource that could sit down with both of you and map out the statistics, costs etc to see if it really is a viable business. This way the pressure is not coming from you and the 3rd party may provide some insights you son has not seen. Have your son get a business plan in place and then re-consider the investment. [Along with that, there needs to be a re-payment plan in place]
��10,000 is a huge amount, apart from a van what would the rest be for. You will find that the market for milk is stitched up. The people we used for our catering business could not make any money from it as the larger firms could charge lower prices. As a starter ask at a few shops or restaurants and see who their suppliers are. I think you will find it will be one of several large companies who buy milk by the thousand gallon and re bottle it themselves.
Why are you asking this question. If your son is serious about starting up this business then HE will go and find out all these facts and figures, If he wants you to invest in his business then HE has to come up with a good business plan. He should not be asking you for money unless he can prove on paper that the figures add up, and no investor with any sense would take on a project without the facts and figures being presented to him. Being a hard worker is no guarantee of success if the figures simply do not add up. He should have come up with a detailed business plan before he asked you to even consider backing him. If he won t go and find out these details then he is not committed to the idea. Don t risk your hard-earned cash on this venture unless he is prepared to do the leg-work. It is very easy to risk someone else s money!
Suggest to your son that he contacts his local Business Link for free help and advice on starting his business. They can help with things like his business plan, which is essential before starting any venture and particularly if you re asking someone to invest in it.As has been said elsewhere, ��10k seems a lot for what he s proposing to do. As part of his plan he does need to show how he s going to repay that money.It s also strongly advisable that you set up a formal agreement between the two of you, if he does go ahead and you lend him some money to start. It should set out exactly who has put up what, the effects on ownership of the business, what happens if there s a dispute of any sort and what happens in the event of the business failing. Most disputes in business are about money so it s easier to have an agreement in place before you start rather than trying to thrash things out in a crisis. (My husband and I have had agreements between ourselves in all our business ventures.)As has also been said elsewhere, if he s going to run this business, he should be the one doing the legwork and finding out about it. I fired my son from one of our businesses when he wasn t pulling his weight.
What are restaurant expenses as a percentage of the total? -

How can I buy stuffs at the bookfair without letting my mom knows I took my money? -
i believe that bookfairs are a scam cause you can just check out a book from library and when ur done with it you return itP.S. i dont like to say your public library because for me its feels kind of gay saying public and library together :(
Buying stuff at a book fair funds terrorism and slave trades and drug activity and pornography and circuses.Your mom is right to not let you buy stuff from a book fair.She would be completely morally bankrupt to allow such a preposterous thing.Why not just watch TV instead?
What to put on a business card as a musician? -

Do I have to register my online business with the city, when I only sell my own second hand stuff at ebay? -
Where I live, you have to register any business that is located in that city. Even though you are doing your business online your physical location/office/where you work is in your home in your city. You shouldn t have to pay taxes to your city/state for items sold out of state but if it is sold in your own state I believe you legally do have to pay taxes on that item.
No. Everyone sells on ebay. Registering would only be necessary if it is something you might do long term and earn a steady income from. Where you might have to pay taxes, etc. Second hand items on ebay won t matter unless you are making gobs of money, use a business name, etc.
No, you are not conducting business within your own city. You only register (but really apply for a liscence) if you have a brick and morter location. Though you still should report the income on your taxes, depends on the signifigance.

I have an idea for a t-shirt business. How do I sell them online? -
The very best advice, go local.Get a personal web-site builder.
I would suggest hiring a firm that specializes in business solutions. They will help you find the most effective T-shirt suppliers, as well as help you set up your E-commerce platform.A Good business solution firm will be able to supply you with design, development, and internet marketing, as well as give you advice on how to get your business up and running.Your idea sounds very feasible, and I m sure you ll be able to find someone interested in helping you.If you d like to discuss your idea more, or have any questions, please e-mail me at DGiardino@webmonkeymedia.com
CafePress $5/month premium shop is honestly the best way to go. Starting a website from scratch, and getting traffic can be a time and money intensive process, let alone the process of ordering and managing inventory...and it can take months or years for your site to get any free traffic at all.If you want a unique domain, you can register one and have it forwarded to your cafepress site. So if you tell someone to go to BobsTShirts.com it ll send them to cafepress.com/bobstshirts .
You can use OScommerce shopping cart. It is free.Check http://neond.comYou can install OScommerce with one click.
How and when will i know how valuble my patented idea is? -
Your idea is as valuable as someone will pay for it =) If you re looking for an actual number, do an analysis like this:Amt. money it will earn or save a company per unit, times number of units required for most efficient utilization, minus 20-40% (their profits); that s the value. Don t have those numbers? When you get an offer ask for the reasoning behind the offer. And ALWAYS make sure you get royalties if you re licensing it. Talk to a patent attorney, they ll be able to help you out and won t steer you wrong (cuz hey, if you don t get paid neither do they =)Good luck!
Plzzzzzzzz help immediately? -

How to classify this worker? employee? Independent contractor etc..? -
The employee is coming in to your office and using your computer and telephone. Since they re in your office, I presume it could be argued that they re being supervised by one of your staff. I d say that the person is an employee.Edit: It seems as though some of the answerers are confused. See the IRS link below with these two items: 5. If you have the right to control or direct not only what is to be done, but also how it is to be done, then your workers are most likely employees.6. If you can direct or control only the result of the work done -- and not the means and methods of accomplishing the result -- then your workers are probably independent contractors.
I would classify her as an independent contractor. As long as you don t dictate to her what hours she has to work. It s completely ok, that you agree together what hours she works.Also, she doesn t HAVE to use your computer telephone. She does this so she is not responsible for controlling the files out of the office.
Independent contractor. You just pay her and not withhold any taxes, and give her a Form 1099 at the end of the year. She is responsible for all taxes, self-employment tax, etc.
She could be either. I would check into which would be more beneficial to the business with taxes and liability.
How does a debit machine work? -
I assume you are referring to a debit/credit card terminal. Basic ones plug into your phone line, you swipe or enter the card info, and your account gets credited. If the processor and your bank account are the same company, the transaction will be same day. If are different, expect at least 24-48 hour delay. Costs will be 2% on average of the transaction, plus a monthly fee (10 bucks or less).
Dog aromatherapy business question...? -
Make sure you have a good number of actual customers who say that yes, they would purchase this, and at what price. You can t assume that just because you think something is a good idea that other people would definitely think so too and want to pay for it. Samples are risky because there s no shortage of consumers who will show an interest in something as long as it s free. With that out of the way, if I were your friend and determined to introduce my own line, I would want a small quantity for the business s use to include in a service package where I can charge for time and not just a markup on the hard product. Then, if that package were popular, I might consider making the product available for retail sale. This also delays issues like packaging until there s a good reason to resolve them and some money to spend on it. On the other hand, there seems to be enough manufacturers already that he can just buy the stuff wholesale and have it on the shelves in a week. Now, if you two go ahead as originally planned, then you should give him a price for the cards (and whether that includes printing or just the design), and the samples after researching your total costs in producing and packaging them. It goes on his books as a professional fee and you report the income on your personal tax return in the spring. Or he can hire you temporarily, have the business cover the hard costs, and pay you for the soft services like design and getting the product into little bottles.

I m searching online data entry work.? -
You need to send your resume out to real jobs you are qualified to do. In your cover letter you need to state that you wish to work remotely, from your home office. LOTS of companies, especially in CA operate this way. They usually provide transportation for you to come in for an interview and for you to attend company meetings a few times a year, but otherwise everything is done online.
Dont know much about it, but there is someone I found in Chennai, a retired Govt Official, he was cheated and he complained a lot, I wonder how it is possible to get a job of 25000/- without going to office or hard work, world would have been a nice place if it was real,try some luck if you find any...

What major would I want to choose in order to run my own record label? -
You should consult your academic and/or career advisor(s) for more formal advice. If your school is worth its salt, they should give you this advice for free, as part of your tuition.But, if I were your advisor, I would suggest double-majoring in business (the universal major if you ask me) and music.
Business
In the current marketing Tech-Boom, are business cards considered ineffective?? -
You can print business cards for free.
You could list your website on the business card.Also, have you tried hosting video game tournaments? Like Guitar Hero/Rock Band nights, Halo nights, COD nights, etc.Or contacting local schools (high schools and colleges) and offer to sponsor something or advertise in their sports programs (programs, in this case, meaning the printed guides they hand out/sell during games)?It all depends on how big your marketing budget is.Good Luck!
I ve owned a successful internet company for the last 12 years.I never once used a business card.BUT....It wouldn t hurt to print some up. You can probably get 500 for $20Your best marketing strategy would be to make sure your website shows up on Google and Yahoo.
i think people still look at business cards. put as much info as you can on them, phone no/website etc. vistaprint usually have some good offers on, not sure if its just for the UK though.
The second someone asks you for a business card and you don t have one, you ll know the answer.
Want to open a consignment shop or a retail store.... need advice? please? -
Best way , and better than opening a retail store for few months .. Retail store will cost you rent, preparation, attracting traffic, signs, etc............... which will probably exceed more than $15.000-$20,000 for only couple of months..so best way .. start making a plan for a yard sale (and make it every 2 weeks).. you need a very careful and clear plan first, about all the steps.. 1- you need to pick the place (better to make it in a alot of traffic area) ask your church or a near relative who have place like that.. this is better than making in her yard if there is no high traffic) 2- Decide the date.. (Dates) for how long etc.... 3- Make fliers (Print them even copy print on staples or office depot) it will cost at most $50.00 for 1000 flyers.. and then you have to start pass them 2-3 days before the yard sale .. and on the days of sale as well.. 4- make a classified ads on your local newspaper , runs for a week / 3 days.. the costs no more than ($20.00-$50.00).. 5- don t forget to put your flyers on the boards of restaurants, churches, etc..... you will find that your total costs with all of that would not exceed $200.00 with all those ads and preparation.. less than 1% of the costs of store and etc.. Plus you could start it this weekend or the next .. not like the store which will need 3-8 weeks to make it ready .. hope this help,Good luck and have a great day ..
Do the posting in local news paper, Publish classified ads through internet, Submit your store listing in google local business, Submit your business information on shopping sites. I have promoted my business on http://www.rpreport.com Here you can also publish your business information.Ihope all these activity definately work for you.Thanks.
How to let the customers know which of my store he bought from? -
When I sell something from one of my stores, I include a card with their order saying which store they got the product from. The card is printed with all the names of 3 of my stores and what type of goods are sold in each, each store name has a box next to it and I make a check mark in the box in bright red ink showing which one they bought from. The card also has a message thanking them and asking them to keep the card for at least 30 days in case they have any problem so they can easily contact us to help solve the problem.That way they know where their money went and are able to check out the other 2 to see of there is something in them they might be interested in. Have gotten some really good feedback from customers by doing that as it is easy and they don t get confused.
When they purchase the item the confirmation email should state which store it was bought from. There should also be a seperate barcode numbering system for each site or something in your website software (algorithm) that defines and assigns the data to a specific website. The database will then send the confirmation email with the correct store named. As long as your policies are listed on each website legally your ok. BUT in BOLD somewhere where all can see on EACH website you should list all the websites and state that EACH WEBSITE HAS A DIFFERENT POLICY SO PLEASE READ. That might help angry customers calm down or limit them.Easy answer? Just make a universal policy thats cohesive to all your sites needs. When someone SUBMITS the order for transmission a popup should cover the screen and explain that:THIS SITE HAS 4 OTHER SISTER SITES. THEY ALL HAVE DIFFERENT POLICIES. PLEASE REVIEW THE POLICY FOR THIS SITE. CLICK HERE TO COMPLETE TRANSACTION OR CLICK HERE TO COMPLETE TRANSACTION AND HAVE THE POLICY FOR THIS SITE EMAILED TO YOU.Good luck..

New charitable organisation is coming soon i need advice for the Name...who could help me to get it?? -
How about running a competition in your area through your local newspapers, or with local secondary schools/colleges etc to get all the locals to come up with a name.That way you get free PR in the local newspapers, school/college newsletters etc both announcing the competition in the first place and then announcing the winner, perhaps with a photo of you handing the competition winner their prize (which doesn t have to be expensive - how about an MP3 player for a tenner?) and if you get photographed with the winning name/logo being held up too then it gets it in front of people right from the start. then once they start to see your business up and running they will already be familiar with the logo/name etc and your business will have instant credibility.This is just an idea - adapt it at will!

Should I give 50% of my new business to my brother? -
It sounds like he just wants a cut of the pie so to speak. I would decline his offer. If you need help with the design and promotion of your website you can go to www.elance.com you can hire professionals to do jobs for you.Are you planning on selling products from your website, if so you ll need a payment gateway so be sure to include that. Start a blog, a newsletter, email advertising, put an ad in the local paper, local area classified ads websites, send out cards etc. Good Luck!
Absolutely not. If he seriously has a skill that could benefit your business, employ him. Not on a regular basis but on a job by job basis. Otherwise, steer clear. If your business needs more marketing than you can provide, consider using the services of a professional. The money would be better spent. Going into business with a family member has all sorts of pitfalls. It s your business, keep it. If your brother was a good brother, he would share his ideas with you and offer support and encouragement without expecting something in return.
Thats a really big ask from your brother. maybe he has watched too much dragons den. why would you give away half your business. imagine that he is not your brother, would you do the same for someone who has a vague amount of experience in marketing your sector.i know some one who lives near you who has worked in that business for years and knows the business inside out and if they try really hard will be able to do much better than your brother....YOU!
definitely not. i would never open a business with a partner much less a family member because there will eventually be conflict and it will hurt your relationship in the long run. i would tell your brother, thanks but not thanks and hire someone to help you
NO WAY! If you want to give him a part then make it a MAXIMUM of 49% so that you retain control.But my advice is that you pay for the work that they do, and retain 100% of the business.Partnerships never work out well anyway.
No, don t do it - the worst ship that ever sailed - a partnership. You can pay someone to do what you require, he s after a quick fix to earn some fast money.
Never give anybody 50% of your business! He may or may not be looking to rip you off, but don t take the chance. You have enough experience in this field to go it alone. As your brother, it would have been a nice gesture if he had offered to help, but to ask for 50% of the business in return for his help seems greedy to me. He will only be giving advice as he has no time to commit to the business - you would be doing the majority of the work. To avoid a family argument, just tell him thanks for the offer but this venture is something that you really want to do on your own.Have you had some classy flyers printed that the Hotels may allow you to leave on reception or in the rooms? Most Hotels have a welcome pack in the room that introduces people to local services and amenities.
Total agreement with everyone so far. Don t do it! He doesn t have the time or possibly the skills to be a business owner.Pay him as a freelance for anything that he demonstrates he can do within the time you need it done. You re running a business and it doesn t matter whether it s family or not you need things done in a business-like manner.We brought my son in on one of our businesses some years ago and then threw him out because he wasn t pulling his weight. He couldn t devote the time and effort to the business but expected his cut.Make sure any agreements that you do have with him, even as a freelance, are in writing so that there s no room for debate if there s a problem. And usually there will be a problem and inevitably it will be about money.Good luck!
