Question about Open Office? -

Many of my friends are using Microsoft Word to do this project but i dont have it so i downloaded Open Office and i want to know if you can use it to make trading cards because my friends are doing fine using Word to create Trading Cards Will I be able to make them with this program?

yes you can.OpenOffice Writer can do what MS Word can do.you just have to figure out what buttons you need to click to get it done.i would recommend you get one of your friends to email you a file. you will be able to open it up, then just try to recreate it yourself.

How much would it cost to run a home based beauty salon? -

im thinking of maybe running a beauty salon from home once ive completed a course in Holistic Beauty Therapy. Im just wondering what kind of money would it cost to run. i understand that i will have to save up alot to get it set up intitially which is fine. Im just wondering more about when im running the salon how much will it cost me to do that? like advertising etc? and will i make enough money to cover that do you think? any help would be appreciated . Thanks

You will need to pass the state exam to get your beautician license first. The fee will need to be added to your start up costs.Price the equipment you should buy by consulting websites for those companies that sell what you need. Factor in utility costs for the business only (a percentage of your home utility bills).Double check your state s taxes. See if you need to collect taxes on your services. If you are selling products (lotions, shampoos, conditioners for the customer to use on their own) you will need to collect sales tax on those items.Consult your local Small Business Administration (SBA). They will help you figure out what you need to do and what fees must be paid to set up your business. If you want to start your own salon, they can help you acquire a business start-up loan.

I opened a stall at my local market but it hasnt worked...... help me? -

i opened a pound shop at my local market but it hasn t worked well for me. the reasons are A: i couldn t find any cheap suppliers so my profit margin is very low. B: people are not intrested. any advice about where to get cheaper products or may be what else i can do to improve my business....

One swallow doesn t make a summer!

There is a lot to consider - did you check the market out before starting? does the operator offer any startup incentive? have you checked out the competition? is your trading name limiting you on pricing? Although you are now trading, it isn t too late to check everything. particulaly competitors. Also check out if there is a niche you can fill - get your family and friends to help you with this and with checking the competition, and don t forget local shops when it comes to competition, How long have you been trading? Don t forget it takes time to build a business and a reputation. Lastly have you talked to your National Market Traders Ferderation rep? your operator should know who it is but, don t forget you may be standing on someones toes (i.e. a competitor)

People are looking for value for money rather than just cheap.Do a google search for wholesale to find wholesalers in your area.You need to sell things that people want (ask friends and family if they would buy x or y), don t just stock up on things that are cheap.��1 stores need a huge turnover to make a profit, so maybe go for a lower turnover but a higher profit per item?Another way to improve profit is by adding value - for example - You could sell a slice of bread for a few pence, a piece of cheese for a few more pence and a spoon full of pickle for a few more pennies.But, Combine the Bread, cheese and pickle into a sandwich, give it a fancy name and sell it for ��2

Are there any real places ( NO SCAMS) to work at home to make a little money? -

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.

Home cleaning business? -

I am currently opening my own House Cleaning business. I just wanted to know what are the main features you would like to see if someone cleans your home. What are the small features, the Big and the features you wouldnt like. If you have a 1, 2, 3, 4 bed room what is the most you would pay for a cleaning service.

One of the big reasons I don t have a cleaning service is because they re so expensive. I called Molly Maid after I had my second baby and thought it would be great to have that just once a week for a little bit...well it turned out to be about $100 for our one bedroom apartment which at the time I could only afford once a month, and with a husband and two kids once a month didn t really help me. If I was you I d offer a very basic, come in, dust, clean mirrors and counter in bathroom $50 for a half hour, then offer a la carte cleanings ie full bathroom clean:mirror, tub, counter, toilet, floor for $30, full kitchen clean: sink, counter, top and front of fridge, windows ledges for say another $30, carpet clean: vacuum all carpet with baking soda sprinkle for $50 living room, hallway and one bedroom, another $15 per bedroom and another $20 for each flight of stairs a full on holiday clean or spring clean, including all of the above for $150 for a two bedroom, another $50 per extra bedroom.That way, your bread and butter, the $50 quick clean that really helps people out, first of all people can afford so they ll do it, second, if you re only spending 30-40 minutes in a home you can do a bunch of them in a day/evening. Then at Christmas time and in the spring when people need/want more done or for the people who can afford more you ll be rolling in the dough.One extra you might think to offer as well is an organizational help service. That seems to be really big now for people, doing their garage and spare rooms etc. You could go in, go through everything put them in boxes for garbage, charity and keep just like they do on tv and the people could choose to either help you or for you to leave the boxes there for them to go through and then take to the dump etc. This service would obviously be something you charge for by consultation only, it depends a lot on what the mess is.You could also offer a Teen Clean for all those parents who say clean your room or I m throwing it all out you can come it, throw away everything on the floor, vaccum, dust, make the bed, bob s your vacuum Another $50 clean for just one room! I d make people sign a waiver for this one though, or at least leave the garbage bags there for the teen to go through, you wouldn t want to throw away school books or anything.Try advertising some basic extras also that will set you apart from the rest ie, using green cleaning products, the baking soda sprinkle with every vaccum , maybe even at Christmas you can offer a bag of Christmas-y scented pot pouri sachet s for the kitchen and bath or something. Things that won t cost you a lot to offer but that will make people choose you over someone else.If I could have found someone to do that $50 clean for me back then, I d probably still be using them, and that was 5 years ago.

One of the first things I would like to see is, everything should be dusted from top to bottom. Open windows and do the window sills, dust blinds, dust the doors and all light fixtures including ceiling fans, vacuum all the edges of the house including registers inside if they are on the floor, vacuum the carpets and shake out throw rugs, shag the walls if too if they need it, sweep and mop the floors, wipe down the bathrooms and kitchen and make sure you sweep the front porch and shake out door mats for the final touch. Inside and outside windows are extra and appliances such as, cleaning oven and frig. are extra. Pricing is very hard unless you see the house but I would say start out at 100.00 for the 1 bedroom and kind of feel it out from there. I could see paying 400.00 for a large 4 bedroom. Hope this helped.

Most people will not pay more than $10 - 20/hr or a max of $150/day for a full day for a 4 BR house. If you clean mansions, including polishing brass door knobs and plates, polish the sterling silver, etc, know how to wash crystal stemware and crystal chandeliers properly, care for valuable antiques, etc, you can command $150-200/day.
