I want a job in internet where i can make some money out of it? -

You will end up only with scams. If you want to earn money through internet, create your own blogs and earn through Google ad sense, which is the only way out I think.

Well, you could start by being clearer about what you want. Do you want to make money using the internet or working online?If your answer is the former, using the internet, I d advise you to have a great blog with a million ads and affiliate programs linked together inseperably somehow. If you want to make money working online, I d look at odesk.com, elance.com, and then go to google and type in related:odesk.com and related:elance.com to find other related websites. Good luck, dude.

Things I look for in a business are free or low cost to join, free or low cost to run, some level of training and/or support, a website or information on how to create one, and a simple duplicatable business success system. The company and people should support and train you because when you make money they make money. I really like businesses that can be run part time, from home, and online.

Hey!Basically, there are 2 ways:1)BloggingBuild a blog, create a brand, sell advertisement space... it is fun, but it takes a bit of time. If you are not sure how to do this, I would start with the Blog Mastermind course by Yaro Starak. Here, i found some info about his course:http://making-money-blogging-mastermind.��2)Affiliate marketingIf you don t want to blog, learn sell products (without spending a dime). If you are not sure what to do, I would go through the Stephen Pierce s course, because he is getting great feedback. Again, if you need some info first:http://make-money-working-at-home-mrmi.b��

License Agreement, HELP? -

im buying an image from someone and i need a contract as to how to buy it or how to get the rights, if you can help HELP!!!

Hi,If you are buying artwork (an image) from someone you must find out if:1. The original image is not a copy or something that was modified from any original design.2. Are you buying it for a limited use or full rights where YOU own the artwork (providing it s not already been sold to others)?Check very carefully before buying any artwork. Be sure that the design IS original with no creativity taken from other copyrighted artwork. The reason I state this is, I purchased ($600 in 2003) original artwork for a 1934 Ford. Beautiful and colorful.Started posting it on my t-shirts and got a little friendly notice that I was in violation of copyright. Seems that Ford, after 30+ years of allowing printers the freedom to create better artwork than them, decided to invoke their copyright priveleges, which they have a right to.To apply for their license, I had to prove that I had $1,000,000 (yes, million) in liability insurance plus prove that I could wholesale over $50,000 worth of product a year. That s just to apply for a license. Needless to say I dropped the idea and spent $600 for a training aide.The point is, be careful about copyright. There are companies that surf the net daily checking for anything that can even come close to copyright infringement.By the way, as ridiculous as this may seem the word Danger has been copyrighted ONLY for use on t-shirts and certain garments.Hope this helps,Fred

Can someone give me some ebay advice please? got a bad seller? -

She sent me a phony ghd. It took her 3 weeks to send it out. I sent it back anyway so took her a week to confirm she received it. She is very slow to respond to my emails but she does do it. Last week she said she would send me a cheque as her paypal was acting up...and I still haven t received anything!I noticed there was a little reminder thing in my ebay saying that I could start a dispute with her (something I didn t do as she was communicating with me) but now that little reminder thing has gone. Does it have a deadline to it?I would really appreciate some advice on what to do next.She had a 99% rating and good feedback when I bought off her, but in the last few weeks she has received a few negatives from others who bought a ghd off her.Thanks for any help with this

Start by sending her one last email telling her that you need to receive a refund via PayPal or a check that clears your bank by a date (say 10 days from the email, or less if you want) or you will report it to eBay AND PayPal.You can report it to eBay as a dispute. If you have to do that, use the emails that were sent to you indicating that she received your return as the main proof.I ve had 2 or 3 instances where this happened and in one instance had to go back to eBay and PayPal 30 days after to get my money back. The dispute process worked fine.I d suggest sending the email and giving her 7 - 10 days to resolve it and make it clear that you re moving to dispute if you don t hear back from her immediately. Also check her recent feedback. Provided her recent feedback is good and not increasingly bad, then this is probably just a bad hiccup during a busy time of the season and she ll probably make good on it.Hope that helps.

You really need to contact her through PayPal and eBay at all times - personally wouldn t trust her to send a cheque going off her pass record. I would personally instruct PayPal as they can sometimes reverse the payment - they do have a telephone number which is usually easier than sending emails.It s a real shame when people abuse eBay but hope this helps,

something thats couple pounds then just leave it, but some decent money talk to the police, Im 99% sure what she is doing is illegal

Yes, start a dispute and give her a bad review.

start a dispute with her that is the only way she will do wat u want her to

if you cant open a ebay dispute?than open a paypal dispute

45 days for a Paypal dispute (so youv e missed that deadline)However IF you did not send back to her by Recorded or Special delivery; you would have likely lost the dispute anyway.Your only hope now is an ebay dispute (as they sometimes refund themselves)You could always tell her that unless she pays you within (around 4-6 days) including your return P+P (as she sent you a fake) you will report her to Trading Standards as they take the selling of fakes very seriously as it is illegal and can lead to a criminal conviction and/or fine.Print off proof of your emails-the selling page-her feedback.(you have her address)Tell her you will report her illegal activities to the police for them to investigate.AND that she is now in possession of your goods(theft) UNTIL she has refunded you.

I would definitely open a dispute. You have 45 days from the payment date to open a dispute. After you open a dispute, Paypal will contact the seller and you can both negotiate terms and see if things can be resolved. If that does not work, you can them escalate the dispute to a claim. After opening the Dispute you only have 20 days to escalate it to a claim. Once it is escalated to a claim - We place a hold on all funds related to the transaction until the dispute is resolved or closed. So she can either return your money by herself you can then close the claim or if you keep on top of the whole process Paypal will return you your money.

Finding the right home business opportunity is a challenge. There are many people who have been searching for the right online opportunity but never really did find what they want. If you really want to find the best home based business internet work opportunity, you should do some research. A good source of info for online business are the entrepreneur magazines. You could subscribe to one or two types of them and learn about setting up an online business. They usually offer some very good insights when it comes to setting up your business. Another way for you to find the right home based internet business opportunity is to ask for referrals from friends and relatives. If you know someone who has an online business, they are one of your best sources of info. The good thing about asking for their advice is that they already have experience and could help you out or give you some tips on how to get started.If you don t know anyone who has an online business, you could join forums as well. There are online communities that discuss working from home and some are willing to share their knowledge. To find one of these, you can just simply launch a search by typing the keywords. In a matter of minutes, you can probably find several posts.I ve been working at home for over a year now. I knew absolutely nothing about it either but I stumbled upon something called Maverick Money Makers. I saw it online and on television, so I gave it a shot and it has worked nicely for me. It is very informative and basically walks you through everything step-by-step. It does cost to become a member and have access to all of this material but I m pretty sure there is a 90 day money back guarantee if you decided you weren t interested.

That other post is obviously spam. You need to look into what is called bum marketing . Just do a search for it on google. It really works and I m not selling anything.

Can I transfer money from my PayPal to an NRI account? -

Im partnering with my Sister-in-Law in India and we will be selling some items online...Digital Goods...to be exact. She will open the PayPal account since she has majority stake in it and she ll get it verified and all the things that are needed.Can I add my NRI/NRE bank account to the PayPal account so I can withdraw funds? Does PayPal care whether its a Indian Account or a NRI/NRE account?Can I withdraw partial money to my USA Bank account?thanksDevCompany

Just have her get 2 debit cards from paypal so you can directly get it out at a cash machine. I have one and it is sooooo much easier than having to wait on the bank verifications. No it doesn t matter if its in India or not because its World Wide, If it is a problem than you will have to get your own pay pal account and she can send you your part, the suckie part of that is the fee s that would come out on your end when she pays you. I think if she orders 2 cards and sends you the other that will work alot easier, but to have your own account you can have your own back up~ Click link and see. Good Lck

Running a Vet Office/Hospital..Becoming A Vet? -

It has always been my dream to Run a Vet Office or Hospital, But of course i want it to be successful. I am not a Vet but I am a vet/technician/assistant. I have considered going to school to be a vet, But was wondering if That would make my business more profitable, considering I want to be very involved in running my business. Also, any tips from people who have done this... Suggestions, things they had to learn the hard way, even simple money saving tips would be great, thanks and no negativity!

In many states you cannot own a veterinary practice unless you are a licensed veterinarian, so if you are intending to own a practice you need to check the laws in your state. You may be able to get around this by owning and providing the facilities and staff while a veterinarian actually owns the practice. But you would need to have the capital to purchase an appropriate building, diagnostic equipment, hospital cages, surgical equipment, exam room equipment, etc etc etc. If you simply want to get into a management position, you can go a couple of different routes--Certified Veterinary Practice Manager or a degree in veterinary technology that focuses on management. You say you are a veterinary technician/assistant, so I m assuming that you are not a credentialed veterinary technician. (There is a difference is those two titles) Therefore if you went the degree route (which I would say is actually the best option as a bachelors degree is going to look much better on your resume and give you other options for what to do while you look for that management position) you would need to enroll in an AVMA accredited veterinary technology degree program and earn you Associates degree and then work towards your bachelor s degree focusing on practice management. St. Petersburg College offers this bachelor s degree program and there is even a special scholarship for people who are following the management track. You can find information on it at their website: http://www.spcollege.edu/hec/vt/index.ht�� There are more than 20 colleges that offer a bachelor s degree program in veterinary technology, so you do have choices as to what college to attend. However, if you really aren t into the veterinary technology stuff this option really might not fit you.St. Petersburg veterinary technology website: http://www.spcollege.edu/hec/vt/index.ht��www.avma.org/AVMA website with a list of all bachelors degree programs: http://www.avma.org/education/cvea/vette��The Certified Veterinary Practice Manager s program is offered through the Veterinary Hospital Manager s Association. It requires that you currently be employed in a management position in a veterinary hospital and that you have 18 hours of college credits in management related topics and 48 hours of continuing education in hospital management related topics in order to apply. http://www.vhma.org/displaycommon.cfm?an��

Can my boss make me do a job that I do not want to do? -

My boss is trying to put more work on me. He is wanting me to start doing quotes for people and that has always been the sales person s responsibility. I do not feel comfortable having to do this and it involves things beyond my knowledge.

Unless you are a Union member or have an employment contract that spells out your specific duties, they have every right to add additional responsibilities on you and they have every right to fire you if you don t comply.

Maybe you should explain to your boss that you will need him to train you in a few matters. The best thing you can do is quote a fair price, usually they will quote slightly higher because people like to feel like there getting a bargain and they will try to bring the price down, so if you don t want to loose money you need to know this. Oh and to the question about whether or not your boss can make you do jobs you don t like, (YES) that s why IST called work. Unless you are physically unable to do the work they can. If you have a mental handicap you need to prove it.

yeah, well, that s life - do the work or quit - your situation is very common anymore - ask for help in learning the areas you are unfamiliar with

I m afraid he can :/If he s your boss then you have to be as loyal as a dog or lose your job :/

yes he can dummy he is higher in the business ok dude

Do these objectives sound realistic in the start of a business? -

Im doing a business plan for my class and was wondering if these figures are realistic in the first and second year in business. Within a year of being opened our objectives for Late Night Latte are to acquire a fair amount of repeat customers from the University of New Mexico and surrounding businesses in the area. We anticipate 70 percent of our customers will return more than once during the year. Also we hope to make $15,000 to $20,000 the first year and have some profit. Another objective is to meet almost all of our target market��s needs. In the second year of operation we hope to make $25,000 to $30,000, increase profit and payoff some of the expenses that were accumulated in the development of the company.

Is 15k-20k gross or net? If it s net that would be high but reasonable, if that s gross then your company will fail before its profitable. To create a more accurate picture of what you will make, do some research to figure out how many daily customers your competition has. Hell, give dunkin donuts or starbucks a call and ask how many they have-- it s for school, they ll tell you. Multiply that by 365 and that s your 2 year goal. 1st year goal could be 60% of that.How much will it cost to run the business, how much does it cost to make one cup of coffee and how much will you sell it for, how many cups must you sell to break even then how many must you sell to meet your goals?If it costs starbucks $2.00 to make a cup of coffee and they sell 900 per day at $4.00 each then they have $1800 profit. Minus worker salary ($8/hr * 12 hrs *4 workers = 384) so we re down to $1416 profit. 30 days in a month with rent at $2600 which we divide by that 30=86.76 cents. So $1416-86.76= $1329.24 profit. * 365= $485,172.6 profit per year. Natrually this would be in a major metro area with an already established company with massive customer base. You must make at least $471 in profit via cups of coffee to be profitable in this scenario which is 236 cups of coffee in 12 hours per day. Doable? absolutely. Every cup over that is $2 profit; to make $20k profit you need to sell 264 cups per day ($20,000/$2 (profit/cup)/365(figure out cups/day)+236(cups to break even)=264 cups)o.O that was fun. If you have any questions feel free to shoot me an email (Patrick@KeenerInvesting.com)

Is there any real free work at home business that I can make at least 100 a week. Please. mom of 5 hates her j? -

Nope, they are all scams

Check out the book The 4-hour Work Week Your local library should have it. It s all about setting up your own business based on your interests.(I m reading it now and it seems promising) It will be a lot of work. Anything that promises you instant money with no work on your part is usually a scam. On that note, you could set up a scam business. Promise people the moon if they send you $19.99 for a cheap product that dosen t work. Naaa,,,that s a silly idea. Honesty and honest work is the best policy.Good luck!

You may be able to find a few, but will probably have to put in more than $100 worth of work and may hate it just as much. Try kgb.com or chacha.com. I don t think chacha is hiring anyone right now, but I know kgb is.

Not even close.

you should charge at least $20/hr for your labor and use of your computer machine plus material cost plus pickup time if any. if yours is a professional job, it should be much higher

Well they must be good because people are asking you to make them DVD s :) soooI m guessing a range from 4 to 10 dollars will be enough :) Depending on how much effort you ve put into them, and if t s a movie or a short clip.keep making money girl :)

I started buying from them back in 1999.

Hi I need to know if work from home kind of a jobs are useful? -

Do online jobs worth working?Do they make payment? If someone is aware of this pls let me know?RgsSuchi

Hi, after testing a lot of online jobs so called opportunities I can save you a lot of time by telling you NO they don t work nor pay more than a couple of dollars! There is only one real solution to make money online : becoming an internet marketer and sell affiliate products for big companies. But this is not a get-rich-quick scam I am talking about, in order to be successful you will need to know what you are doing which means you need training (like you would for any regular job). Knowledge is power and if you want a good start point I can recommend the university (online) I am currently going to, they are great and you can really get trained on a personal basis with lots of support from the coaches and the community of trainees. If you are willing to put time and effort that is the way to go to achieve success working from home. Hope to see you there!

Are you considering starting a home based business or taking on the challenge of working from home? Being self employed can be risky prospect, with no guaranteed paycheck to rely upon week after week. But the unfortunate fact is that in the current shaky economic climate working for an employer no longer provides such guarantees either, and every day people across the country are finding themselves staring at an unexpected pink slip over their morning coffee.There are a myriad of opportunities available to those who want to work from home, whether they intend to do so fulltime, to replace perhaps a recently lost source of income, or on a part time basis to simply earn a little extra cash.Working from home is never as easy as some of those slick ads you see on TV and on the Internet can make it sound. Earn $1000 a day filling in surveys or Make $2,000 a day with Google while you sleep they promise. Neither of these are a realistic representation of what can be earned from home. Working from home, or building a business from your home office is not easy, and will never be without challenges. But with the right attitude, a little careful research and a great deal of hard work your dream of being your own boss and making a living doing so can become a reality.For information on legitimate home based businesses with true income potential for hard working people please visit : www.vannillamoney.com

If you know right work from home info you can make money. I tried the way at this site and I . make very good income every months. It is very easy to make money. You can get my way that making me money at link below.

No. In my view I can say to these type of jobs, because there are lot of scams and rip offs are threatening us. Instead, you can make blogs and earn through Google ad sense, a way to earn little extra income. Good luck.

visit this site http://whurrayjobs.yolasite.com/where u will find many part time home based jobs

Not everything online is realyble and legitimate. Only a few company are truly good. Please email me and I will tell you more. Thanks!

Very useful, I Do GPT sites, Very hard work to, worth every second.

What is the average success rate of a charitable organization? -

I d like to start a non-profit charitable org sometime in the future but scared it won t do well. what is the average success rate of a non-prof charitable org?

It depends on how you define success.You need to have a clear vision of what you want to accomplish. Other than the paperwork required to start the non profit, you can keep the cost very minimal. Read up on the requirements for becoming a charitable organization.Start lining up donors before you become official. Get your plans in place and be ready to go. Your vision will be what sells people to donate to you. Have passion and a clearly defined goal.

not very large. It takes lots of time and effort, and money to start off. If you don t get a grant from other charities, then it s ever harder than it already is. And grants are very hard to get. very very very difficult.

Interested in starting a medical transportation company. Please help!? -

I am very seriously considering starting a medical transportation company - transporting people to and from medical appointments and treatments. If anyone has any ideas, experience, or suggestions I seriously welcome your thoughts and input. Thanks so much!

Taxi s do it all the time.

Hi Tom,You ask a very good question for which I think I have some excellent infromation that can be of direct assistance to you!Approximately one year ago, prior to her death, I was a care giver for my mother. She was wheelchair bound and required several treatments. As a result, my family and I were forced to pay large transportation bills to a local service that was less than satisfactory. They were rarely on time, were less than professional, and charged us an exorbitant amount for each transport. But we had no choice because they were the only provider in our area. In hopes of finding other more reasonable transportation opportunities, I searched the internet. In so doing, I discovered Joel and his best selling ebook, How to Build a Million Dollar Medical Transportation Company. Needless to say, I was instantly impressed by Joel s website and his story of success. I became a subscriber of his newsletter, The Million Dollar Newsletter, and began to receive incredibly insightful and detailed information and words of encouragement almost immediately. Based upon my experience as a business owner and my mother s health related issues, I could relate to Joel s message and opportunity. It was very apparent that Joel is very knowledgeable in regards to the non-emergency transportation industry and how to help others to duplicate his success. Needless to say, I purchased How to Build a Million Dollar Medical Transportation Company. After reading it several times over I was left with only one question - Why? Why would someone who is still in this industry reveal such in-depth and detailed secrets? Where most people would wait until they have left the industry to reveal such secrets and strategies, Joel does so while he still owns and operates his own medical transportation company in New York. Why? Curious with such questions, I contacted Joel. I was further impressed because he actually responded to my email personally and eventually we spoke on the telephone. Eventually, I had to pleasure of meeting Joel and members of his staff when I attended one of his Million Dollar Seminars. When poised with my question of why he offers such information considering he is still in business, Joel responded with an answer that was nothing less than short, to the point, yet very profound under the circumstances. Joel simply said Because I can! As he further elaborated, I m in the financial position to do so. So, I can. Joel continued to explain that he s happy to help others because no one helped him when he was first starting in 1999. Since discovering How to Build a Million Dollar Medical Transportation Company almost one year ago I have had the pleasure to befriend Joel and learn more of his entrepreneurial endeavors. Needless to say, I can only be impressed with the sincerity and detailed information that he continues to provide to clients from all over the country. Please feel free to contact me with further questions or for any other questions regarding the medical transportation industry.Good luck!Christinachristina@upfrontreviews.com

Any advice for someone thinking about opening a music store? -

Selling instruments and such, mostly guitars but other stuff too of course. Repairs too.I was thinking of maybe having the actual store as doing repairs whereas we sell all the guitars over the internet such as ebay (which i hear is the way most guitar shops make their profit as opposed to actually buying it in person)

A few things that I ve picked up from a couple I know who run a small music shop is that you should always be kind and courteous to your clientele (as a store associate always should). They ve always gone out of their way to help me get what I m looking for even if they don t have the product, for instance they ve special ordered two guitars for me even when they didn t carry the carrier brand.As far as advice goes, from what I ve learned from them, you have to franchise the brand names of guitars you sell on a year to year contract. For instance, if you start a new contract with Fender, you re required to buy a # amount of Fender guitars over the course of the year. My advice would be to research what brands are currently selling, and to use the most affordable models available (imports). If someone wants an American model, see if they be willing to wait for a special order. Don t start more contracts than you can handle. If this is going to be your first business, I d keep it smooth for the first two or three years with two franchise names such as Ibanez/Fender or BC Rich etc. (all affordable name brands). Once you figure out how the business runs, then you can slowly reach out into other areas like Gibson and Rickenbacker.I would also recommend specializing in just guitars for your first several years. If your goal is to sell varieties of different instruments, gradually expand each year until you meet that goal. Don t overwhelm yourself with products that you may be unfamiliar with (can lead to stress and poor customer relations).If you re going to be doing guitar tune-ups, just make sure you know what you re doing! That s not always an easy service to offer especially if you re trying to lower the strings.If you have the space, it would also be good to rent out a small room to a musician(s) who can teach people how to play guitar as their own business. That will also help attract people to your store.So in summary, be nice, keep it cheap (imports), keep it small for your first several years, expand slowly and try to build good relations with your customers (reputation/credibility). Don t be too ambitious and just have fun. Hopefully you re able to take something out of that :)Good luck!

You should check out The Small Business Administration (http://www.sba.gov/). This site will be your go-to site for understanding what is needed to start your own business. They provide instructions, guidelines and resources to get your business up and running.I know the thought of opening up a music store may be in its very early stages, but you may want to check out or bookmark this site, http://www.l-trondirect.com/ once you get it up and running. My friend recently opened up a small retail store in town and he was looking for barcode scanners to track his inventory and purchasing point-of-purchase equipment, like those electronic signature pads you find at many stores near the checkout. This site was a huge help when it came to equipping the store to manage the product sold, capturing payment methods of his customers and whatnot. You may find this site useful in time.Best of luck to you!

Good idea since it seems like a dying business.10 years ago i could buy guitars ,strings, plectrums etc in 2 shops in my small town(15.000 inhabitants ) and now i have to travel 50km for the nearest shop.Don t know if its such a good idea to open a shop like that but i would support you :)

don t do it

Can I be a part of more than 1 affiliate program on a site? -

For example if I have a site can I put affiliate links from amazon, wal mart, gamestop, eb games, and best buy on one site, like list a product and allow customers to click one of the 5 links on that page depending on where they want to buy from. Is this possible? Is it allowed by all five of these sites that I listed above?

99% of affiliate programs generate for the new A, less than 1% of minimum wage

Please let me know about selling jewelry online? -

How does it work ? please give me some detail about :1. How does the seller get the money from the sales ?2. Does the seller pay for the shipping payment or the buyer ?3. Does Anybody know good websites for selling handmade products (jewelry, arts and crafts, etc) ?(Besides Etsy)

Check out http://www.rubylane.com1. You ll get the money from each sale to your PayPal account.2. You actually ship your piece and pay for the shipping. It is up to you if you charge the buyer for the full or partial shipping costs.Sarit Designs - Unique Handcrafted Jewelryhttp://sarit-jewelry.com

The website should give you lots of info about stuff like that.I have friends that use Etsy :)

don t do it online,most of them are just scams,take your jewelry to a decent pawn shop

A company entrapped me into placing an ad in their publication, now trying to collect? -

The rep placed the ad without my approval or a contract. All I received was a tear sheet in the mail and a bill for $1000. Needless to say, I wrote them a letter stating that I wasn t going to pay, and that if they tried to collect, I would notify my lawyer, the attorney general and the bbb.The rep came by and apologized, saying that she placed the ad for me because she thought I wanted it (I never gave any indication that I did), and that I was closed the day she stopped by to get my approval. I m sorry, but there are several other ways of getting in touch with me to get my approval, whether it s phone, email, or fax... none of which she attempted.Anyway, the sales manager is supposed to call me, and I m afraid to talk to her. I am thinking that she s going to try to get me to pay something, since they will claim I got use out of it (which is not true-- not one person came in and said they saw the ad). How do I handle the situation when the sales manager calls me?What do I tell her?

If you don t have a contract with them they don t have a leg to stand on. If I were you I would put my foot down and refuse to pay. If she threatens with legal actions then tell her you ll see her in court. That will either call her bluff or get something resolved through the courts.

Tell her you cannot accept liability for payment of the ad as it was placed without your approval and that the sales rep needs to pay for it. if they want to take you to court they are welcome to do so cause they have no contract or signed approval.

Tell her you refuse to pay because the ad was placed without your consent, and if she wants to sue you go ahead. If they have nothing from you giving them the OK to place the ad they ll back off.

very simple. please send over executed contract and we will pay according to that document

Sue Sue Sue; they know exactly what they are doing. If your work was not good they would ve never published your work. Squeeze them, and good luck

You have nicely described the situation. And your description itself is answer to the solution.If they claim that, you have received advantage of that advertisement, then ask them to prove that. And, tell them that you have policy of making payments to contractors only if they have valid purcahse order or service order duly signed by you or any of your responsible employee. And, just claim that we have a system and just cant break the system because you overlooked our approval.I hope, your perfect professional answer wont allow them to come back again asking for payments.Even if the sales manager asks for some payment, tell her that, if she gets a valid purchase order, you will make her full payment, but not a single penny, if she has no supportings.

Job 101 easy question? -

When filling out an application. How do you prove that you have experience? I worked at GAP for one year. When I put down my experience. How exactly do they (company) know, for sure that I m telling the truth? Age 20 (Male)

You could make copies of pay stubs from your last job. Or copies of paychecks. Then the manager can know that you are telling the truth. Or you can bring a letter from a previous employer.

you fill out the info on the application, and you need to put references. example, your manager from gap. they can then call them to see if you are telling the truth :)

Im from the philippines,I want to work at home online..any legitimate websites that has no registration fee? -

I m a college student. I need extra money for compensation. Any help through referrals is greatly appreciated. Any online job worldwide that pays through pay pal.

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.

If you have questions about Businesses specially in the Philippines, or If you are looking to find certain products, or suppliers. Or if you are looking to promote your own business in the Philippines, I suggest you visit bizeen. It s a website with the list and profiles of businesses in the Philippines. You may want to post some of your questions there in their forums, so that other entrepreneurs may answer you.

If you know correct home based business information and way, diet is easy. If you are serious, you should have fast home based business way that works for you. I recommend you my home based business way for you. I make good income everyday and it is very fast. You can do it too. You can get more information here link below.

If you are very serious about making money with work at home you should have this way. It worked for me and it is the only way that worked for me . It works just amazing and using right info will make you a long term income easy. You can find more info from link below.

This is one possible way that you can make money and it has been proven to work. A link to a video showing it working can be found here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4TcZiT48I4It is a Business Model or Marketing System known as the Spiderweb Marketing System. It is very unique, quite new, and quite clever in my opinion. It is a system that signs you up to a number of websites that All provide you with an income stream. Each website has a referral program so that if you sign other people up to it, you get paid. The advantage with THIS site when compared to OTHER referral sites and pyramid scheme sites etc etc which you may have already come across or perhaps these other people answering your question have tried and failed or made little money (myLot, Zenzuu, Yuwie..Paid Surveys, mTurk.. etc etc..) is that it signs you up to a number of websites and referral programs creating multiple income streams, all through signing up to this ONE site/account.There are a number of videos you need to watch which show you how exactly to do it, which will guide you on how to set yourself up with this particular marketing system and it is VERY easy to do. The other thing is that it is Completely free. There are a couple of websites/ income streams that only if you want - but you do not have to, you can pay for upgraded membership etc. one particular income stream or account that it sets you up with which is worth upgrading and paying for is GDI or Global Domains International. By paying for your account, you get a domain name which you can attract other people to. This particular income company offers a bonus referral program which is quite lucrative and provides you with the majority percentage of your income through signing up to this Spiderweb Marketing System. Basically through this particular one, you pay $10 a month to sign up to it, but you can make a hell of alot of money from it, and make the money back very quickly, it is also free for the first 7 days, and you can make your money back within those 7 days. When you get 5 people to sign up to it through this system, you will be payed $100.Check out the Video Link Above to understand better and see exactly what I mean and exactly how much money you can actually make with this. You must however put in some of the work towards advertsing your website, and that is something I can help you with.The system works Worldwide, UK as well as US. This is also Paypal.You can also Sign up to this Spiderweb Marketing System at:www.ActiveSpiderWeb.comRegards

I am earning pretty good money (about $1500/month)( filling online surveys. There are many online survey companies but most of them are scam. Here is my favorite one:http://tra.kz/getpaidThey pay like a clock.. And they pay real good :))Cheers!

Question about managing my website? -

Basically to put it short, I run I moderate and run a website \ forum dedicated to new tv s shows that are out. (Basically It has reviews etc) But I ve noticed a rise in black people coming to my website. Now, a few here and there are okay. They aren t on auto ban. But my previous system to weed them out if there were too many isn t working as well as it used to. I m just curious if anybody else has been having these problems? And if you ve found a way to resolve them.. Thanks ~ Alex

You Alex, are an IDIOT.

Anyone know how to sell items on ebay? -

I just started to use ebay and have just started to sell items since there s no fees on 5 items a month. Anyway, I have a couple questions...1. how do I find out if the buyer paid me?2. how do I know where to send the item or how do I find the buyer s adress?Will it be emailed to me? ok thanks

On 1: if the buyer uses paypal (many do), you will receive an email from Paypal confirming that YOUR Paypal account has received the funds. If you do not accept Paypal, you will have to make arrangements with the buyer to send you funds by check, cashiers check, or money order. Obviously there s some risk there, but generally if you tell the buyer you re going to wait for funds to clear, they ll just have to wait the period you request. This is one reason that Paypal is worthwhile - no waiting, very little risk of nonpayment.On 2: again, if the Buyer uses (and you accept) Paypal, you will get an email with all the details for shipping. If Paypal is not involved, you will be able to contact the Buyer directly with their email address (which is released to you when they win the item) to discuss shipping terms, methods, and locations.

Is it possible to work AND run my own little business? -

Hi. Not really looking for the major details of how to set one up, was just wondering if it was possible to start my own graphic design freelance business and work part-time too just to keep me financially secure while i start off?Is it expensive etcc..???Thanks

Yes, it puts a lot of pressure on you, but definitely possible. I have a have a handful of friends who ve made the transition from corp to own gig by moonlighting for 6 mos then making the jump. It helped them prove their business model without taking a big financial hit and risk.

I ve managed to keep working as well as build up a couple of small business over the last year. The key is managing your time very closely.

Business Loan questions? -

Does anybody know how hard it is to get a business loan? Do you need a formal business plan and all that?Right now I am still living at home so I have no expenses. I am going to school for machining and working part time a machine shop. I would like to borrow possibly about $5,000 to buy my own milling machine to start my own shop. Would I have any chance of getting approved for this? What kind of rate would I be looking at? I have had about 3 other loans and never had a late payment and paid all three off early. I am sure a formal business plan is a great idea but I have no idea how to right it up but I have a lot of ideas on things I could make and sell. Plus I have a lot of friends that offer me good money to make them things and I am getting tired to telling them no because I don t have a machine.I am sure if I had to I could get a cosigner but I get tired to having to do that like I am a 10 year old again. The last two loans I had I got on my own but they were not for $5,000. Plus they were for cars and the bank had the title so if I didnt pay they would come get the car, I don t know what they would do if I didnt pay on this machine. I am sure I could pay it off within 6 months but the bank may think differently.

The Small Business Administration has a wealth of information for the successful funding, running, managing and growing small businesses.You can view their main site at http://www.sba.govSpecifically, the link below seems helpful in your situation: http://www.sba.gov/services/financialass��Basics While poor management is cited most frequently as the reason businesses fail, inadequate or ill-timed financing is a close second. Whether you re starting a business or expanding one, sufficient ready capital is essential. But it is not enough to simply have sufficient financing; knowledge and planning are required to manage it well. These qualities ensure that entrepreneurs avoid common mistakes like securing the wrong type of financing, miscalculating the amount required, or underestimating the cost of borrowing money. Within Basic Financing Topics we��ll review: Financing Basics Estimating Costs Personal vs. Business Capital for Growth Equity Financing Financial Statements How to Prepare a Loan Package (free online course) http://web.sba.gov/sbtn/registration/ind��

Yes you d need a business plan and they would also want to see some business experience. If you only need $5K then just get a personal loan.

As an aspiring entrepreneur you have to realize the road ahead is going to be tough. While one of the hardest things that you have to do to start your small business is to get the funding that you need to start up. Most small-business owners are lucky enough to have enough resources such as surplus funds in their savings accounts to start their businesses. But for the majority of those business owners just like you and I, we require some help and assistance.http://www.worldbestloans.com/businessloans.htmWith the recent recession and the economy heading towards a downward spiral, getting the loan that you need to start your small business is going to be a very difficult road for you. But thanks to Uncle Sam there is a better choice out there for you. The government is going to offer you a small business loan grant. The benefits of getting a grant from the government is the fact that it never has to be paid back unlike a normal loan from major banks such as Bank of America Wells Fargo etc.

How does it work when I buy items for personal use as a business? -

I just started a business as a sole proprietor and my wife was asking about a few items she would like to buy for personal use (Party favors, toys and other celebration items) and Im not 100% how that works tax wise state (NY) and federal. If I understand it correctly I have to add the profits on my taxes at tax time and pay tax every 3 months for the state, I admit I jumped into this before I fully understood how to pay the taxes....

YOu would need to collect taxes on the items you buy for personal use and pay them like you would for any sale. In CA there is a line on the tax form for this. Call the franchise tax board in your state (NY) ask where the cost of these items goes for tax purposes. In general, you collect sales tax on the ful,l price of an item that you sell it at (if you buy an item for $5 and re-sell it for $10; you pay taxes on the the full $10). For personal items you are not marking up, so you pay taxes on the cost of the item. Try get someone to go over the forms with you so you understand what it is your are doing or you are likely to get audited.

What are the financial possibilities (size/profitability goals)? how can I attain this number..i ve never gone to business school and i m in the starting face of putting all of this together

Talk to your local Small Business Administration office. They are there to help you make your business real.First, figure out where you want to open your shop. You want an area where people have lots of money to spend on their pets. If you are not aiming for a pet boutique; how are customers going to buy your dog treats? Then you need to look at the health codes that will affect your business. If you have your kitchen making dog treats, do you have to keep it as clean as place making food for humans? Will pets be allowed in the shop? What requirements are needed for labeling the ingredients? Are you sure the treats are safe for animals? Do they need to be inspected by the state board of veterinarians? Realistically, how much money do you need to generate in a day to stay afloat? Rent, utilities, wages (you need to be paid), advertising, raw materials and cooking equipment need to be paid for. The smaller you can get this number, the better. Then you have to figure out how much each dog treat will have to generate.

Is it legal to pay an employee piece rate and comission, or hourly (whichever is greater)? -

I was wondering if it is legal to pay an employee a base hourly rate, or a comission or piece work rate depending on which one is greater, and how would you figure out the overtime pay?

it is legal

Comissioned salespeople don t have to be paid OT. And that pay plan is fully legal.

Im thinking about starting a Mobile Detailing business. Are the profits worth the amount of...? -

...labor it takes?I love making my car nice and shiney and want to do that as a business. But I know how much work it is to detail a car. I also know that people get about $45.00-$75.00 but I do not know how much business this kind of work brings in. I live in the Orlando area if that helps. So is it worth it?

You might want to wait a bit. You see we re in a bit of an economic depression right now.The first things people start skipping are the luxuries, like car detailing. A lot of us have LOTS of free time (Aka as no job), so we have a lot of time and little money. So we get out the toothbrushes and Windex and do it ourselves.Also you may want to consider the hazards. You re working all day on your knees in funny positions using all kinds os smelly solvents and detergents. After a month or so you could develop serious knee and back and carpal-tunnel problems, not to mention allergies to the various cleaning agents.I d suggest you stay in school and learn something a bit less hard on the old body.

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!

Can a bank charge me money at their branch to cash a check to get MY money? -

Bank of America charges $6 to cash a business check. In my opinion, they have my money. It s mine and I have every right to have it. I m not asking them to transfer funds to my account, nor am I asking them to go out of their way to get the money to me. I am taking the check to them, all they have to do is punch a couple buttons on the computer, see that there is money in the account and hand me some cash that they have in the drawer right next to the teller.

Congress has passed legislature that allows banks to basically do whatever they want to us. They charge you for any little thing, got to get back all that money that they ve lost. Thru their greed, they lost money. Now they ve got to get us to pay it back.

No, this is not my account. I should charge my customers the extra six bucks for doing the work for a BoA customer. Report Abuse

Yeah unless you ahve an account with them most banks will charge you a small procesisng fee, its actually cheaper to go to walmart (they charge 3$ a check) if you don t have a bank account anywhere.If you have an account with them and they are still doing it I would suggest another bank

yes i am a teller at a community bank we charge for hardly anything the only thing that we require is that you are a customer so to answer your question yes they can and yes it is stupid i suggest to deposit your money then go to atm and draw it out .....no charge ..... unless they charge for that too however chosing another bank would be a good option as well

If you don t have an account with them then they can and will charge you to use their bank. They are there to service their account holders not every Tom, Dick and Harry that comes along and wants to cash a check.

Yes, it sucks but they can do it. Read your account agreement.

If this is your own account, why are they charging you?

yep they can unless you get an account with them; that is their leverage- not right but legal

How long can an independent contractor work for the same organization? -

As long as the organization and the contractor want, provided that the contractor still qualifies as an independant contractor.

I believe all of the other posters are correct, you can continue to work for the same organization indefinitely. Also, it is important that you know the difference between an independent contractor and an employee; If you are a small business owner, I would encourage you to check out the IRS site for more information. If you or someone else has been working as an independent contractor for a long time you may be considered by the IRS to be an employee- this can become a tricky situation with certain tax considerations attached.

Forever, as long as he/she meets the IRS requirements for an independent contractor

As long as they want to keep paying for his/her services.There s no kind of limitation. Why should there be?

What computer program should I get for my business? -

My business is a photography studio, but the software I m interested in is for the business aspect of it. I would like something for bookkeeping purposes as well as a good way to store client contacts. Does such a program that does all of this exist? Is it user-friendly?

I very strongly recommend Quickbooks. I took training courses on it several months ago, and it is not difficult to use once you learn it. Good Luck with your business!

bookkeeping wise you can pick qwikbooks. photo wise you hace to choose.

You should get QuickBooks.

19 years old and my own bussiness? -

Hiii :)I would like to know your opinions please 3 ...So Im in college right now, one more semester and im done with my Associates Degree in Journalism/Public Relations, it seems like theres no job in the PR area ( where I live ) , right now i cant move to another city or town, but later I know i could... I would like to start my own little bussiness about what I love : photography. I want to do some photography ( like for schools, portraits, birthdays, parties, etc... ) but i dont know how to start, i also was thinking about take another 2 years at college majoring photography to get some more knowledge, buut i also want to finish my bachelor, soo is like i want to have my own bussiness in photography and creating videos for birthdays, weddings, activities, while i finish my bachelor in marketing/advertising... I know I can do it, but is like I dont have the money or resources to start =\ ... I wanted to make bussiness cards and delivery to restaurants, small bussiness, offices, newspapers, schools, church, etc then people would recognize my services.... I dont know if you get my point :P ... please give ur opinions,and if there is someone who did this before or is doing it, it will be more helpful for me... thanks!! :)

Good luck to you! I think this is a great idea! I have not done photography but I started my own business teaching music when I couldn t find any other jobs. Your idea about business cards and so forth is great. Definitely do that. I would make up some flyers and post them anywhere you can like coffee shops, schools, anyplace with kids, bridal shops, etc. Depending on where you post your flyer, you can focus on a specific service such as birthdays. You might consider offering a discount or at least advertise great rates for a starting photographer. Maye say something like, YOU WORKED HARD TO GIVE HIM/HER THE BEST BIRTHDAY PARTY EVER. NOW MAKE IT MEMORABLE! Photographer available for professional shots of your child s special moment. Fantastic rates!..etc. What about talking to your local recreation center - parks and recreation - to see if they would like to offer holiday pictures. You could set up a camera on a Saturday with a background of some sort and take pictures for five or ten dollars. This could help you promote your photograpy business and it may bring lots of people to meet you. Even better, if you could find a good Santa Claus to put in your pictures, you would attract a lot of people. Hope this helps. I m starting to fall asleep!! Good luck!

What is your idea if you were to set up your own business and you were selling book marks you made ? -

Just a matter of interest. Because i made 10 bookmarks that are filled with nice Embroided Pictures with nice borders around them. I have seen an article that was posted in my doorway in my letterbox and it had Grooming Dales as the title to it , After i got the leaflet i went to check it out. Now i was Expecting a big building with the words Grooming Dales above it. this place was for dogs who were in bad conditioned and needed a fair wash and nicely groomed as such but when i had got to the place it turned out to be a house with a big nice shed outside the back where dogs go to get done. I figured it is a small business she made herself. So i am suggesting that she made a financial quote to set it up. Im having a think , what would be my verdict on this ?

make some sort of display kit, visit as many book stores and gift shops as you can, many of them have money to buy these types of items,,, ( I once made flower trellises and sold them to stores). but you will need some way to display them, Good luck

Have you ever been denied for an SBA loan? -

What reasons do they deny their startup loans? Im interested in the 7a loan, but want to know what reasons they may decline it.Thanks!

Hi Jay,Just like a bank can deny a loan for various reasons, the SBA Guarantee programs can have the same kinds of faults. And, it is the BANK that approves or denies the loan, not the SBA program.The SBA Guarantee simply allows the bank to broaden their loan criteria to allow them to loan money to a client who may not otherwise qualify. Personal credit history, and insufficient personal contribution are the two main reasons a bank denies a loan app under SBA guides. Oh, and a poor or incomplete business plan goes into the equation as well.The SBA and the Federal Govt are not fairy godmothers in the lending business. They make their decisions/allocations according to the reasons for having the programs in the first place, not to make your life easier. Check out www.business.gov, www.sba.gov, and www.score.org You will find tons of info on preparing plans and submissions under SBA guides. 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!

What are the challenges of starting and owning a small business? -

Enter more detail here (Optional)

Wow. It would take a week to completely answer that question and some answers would depend on what type of business. Biggest challenge is typically capital. Next is sales/marketing. Employees can be a headache. Self employment taxes.

LOL... what ISN T a challenge when you start and own your own business?? ;-)But seriously, there s a few that stand out in my mind:1. If your small business consists of just yourself, as is the case with many small businesses starting out, you have to do EVERYTHING yourself. A typical day for the small shop owner might include serving customers, working with suppliers, promoting your business, attending a local chamber of commerce meeting, paying bills, cleaning the toilet, vacuuming the floor, etc. Dealing with the array of many disparate tasks requires incredible discipline and multitasking abilities. 2. Getting through the initial period where you re not yet profitable. Many businesses involve substantial up front investment. It takes time for enough revenue to come in to offset these expenditures. That can be stressful, but hard work and patience can help this process along.

On a balance sheet would you put the cost of your inventory as what you paid for it or what you can sell it...? -

for or the profit you make on it Thanks :) - new to this.

Closing stock should, in the broadest terms, be valued at whichever is LOWER of cost paid or achievable value.Obviously, as the above poster pointed out, you would actually generally use an accounting policy for valuing your stock, usually AVCO or FIFO (never LIFO, it s now illegal in most countries and against international accounting practises).

The balance sheet has to reflect a true and fair view so the value of your stock would be whatever it is worth as it stands in the open market. That is not necessarily what you paid for it as its value might have gone down and it is likely to be less than the expected retail value (which includes profit margin).There are conventions for keeping a running estimate of stock value (FIFO, LIFO and AvCo ... maybe others since I studied bookkeeping many years ago) though these are no substitute for a proper periodic valuation.If your only choice is between cost price, selling price and profit element, I suggest you use cost price.

Cost priceCost price is a known fact. What you sell it for is an unknown amount (or might end up at a loss).

How do I build a vending machine? -

I need help building a vending machine similar to the snack and soda machines that are in malls. I need a list of the specific materials to build it and instructions for assembly. Or pointing me in the direction of a website with this information? Thanks

Huh? Why would you build one when you can simply buy them.

Is there a micro loan for someone with bad credit to start a small business with $5000? -

Whether you are just starting a business or are trying to grow into a new level of entrepreneurship, it is essential to get the right assistance. If you need financial help, then considering a loan may be the best alternative. However, many businesses will not only require a basic loan, but may need help if their credit rating is not at the top percentage. Understanding what is involved with bad credit business loans can provide a new option for those that want to finance their business correctly.Typically, bad credit business loans are available to those that don t have a business credit rating or that have not successfully paid back loans in the past. If your business name has missed payments or has late payments, then it will affect your credit rating. However, for many that are working in entrepreneurship, there is the need to have extra money to move their business to the next level. If you are in this situation, then working with specific loan programs may be the best alternative.If you know your credit rating, then you can find specific loans that will help you at this level. After this point, you will want to look into financial projections that are a part of your business. For most bad credit business loans, you can identify a fixed rate to pay back every month. This will determine how long you will need to pay back the loan and can further help you to identify how much you can borrow. Creditors will often provide flexible payback options as well as cash advances if you need smaller loans. Knowing the different alternatives and finding what fits your financial needs best can then assist you with the correct options for your financing needs.If you are interested in taking your business to the next level and need financial assistance to do so, then considering bad credit business loans may be the best alternative. This can provide you with the right amount of money for your needs while allowing you to get to the next level of business. Evaluating your situation and finding a program that fits can then help you to make the correct business moves for your needs.Bye...

No. Attorney expenses are most likely not deductible. Consult a CPA in your area, or your attorney, but I doubt that you can deduct them.

wow that stinks. I d call the IRS...hmm maybe call 3 times and go with the answer your given the most.

Back in Time? Consignment can be for vintage as well. Time is also working for the watch repair.

call it something blue and expand into consignment of wedding dresses. (you d need to heavily market the fact that most people never wear their dress again,, yet spend $180 at the dry cleaner having it sealed up for storage. instead, you d be the one-stop shop for 1) people looking to make a little money off their dress and 2) people looking to save a little money on a dress that s only been worn once...the name is sort of a turn on the old saying something old, something new, something borrowed- you know the rest...what do you think? do you do much wedding dress business today? weddings are expensive days days and it s unreal what some women will spend on a dress while the groom can usually rent a tux for $10. my wife found the perfect dress at a local store s $99 sale- i m lucky. (she still insisted on putting it in storage)

How much to charge for cleaning peoples home? -

I am looking at starting my own cleaning business but am unsure about how much to charge. I would be doing laundry, dishes, vacuuming, dusting, sweeping/vacuuming/mopping all floors, cleaning windows and a general tidy up. Although in some homes I will be doing a bit less depending on what the clients want. I have tried getting quotes from people but no one has given me any.So how much should I charge?Thank you in advance!

Charge by the size of the house can be more lucrative than charging by the hour. Put down numbers to see how many hours you d like to put in weekly and what you d like to earn. Also, check with other cleaners and see what they charge.

How do I grow my cleaning company? -

I have created a really sucessful little cleaning company, and I want to grow it, but the staff I employ are unreliable and let me down, meaning I end up having to re-schedule or offer the customers cheaper cleaning.How do I grow it without pushing my own limits with time (I end up spending 7 hours a day cleaning to keep customers happy), grow the business and allow myself time at home, to do paperwork!

Step by step instructions guide.

A staff of a cleaning business could be classified as good if he possesses the following qualities: dependable, honest, and conscientious to details, admirable of clients and the rooms of their clients. Most importantly, a cleaning staff must love his occupation.There are several instances wherein your employees are just working in order for them to get quick cash. A cleaner that neglects his job could lead you into losing several contracts. This may cause a problem in your business. It is certainly important for you to look for potential employees for your cleaning business that can surely spell out the success for your cleaning business.For more guidelines, advice and information: http://www.startcleaningservice.com/Hope this helps!

Staff reliability depends on office discipline, staff should do only office work, no politics, and they should perform their given task, if anybody fails to perform his/ her duty kicked him/ her off the duty and from the company no need keep such stupid who is undermining the company procedure and its set up. There should not be delayed in payment of their wages, timely salary payment and timely delivery of required services are the basic and core issue of every business. if it is maintained by the employer then there should not be problem. Advertise your business and services regularly, specify the cleaning services which you want to sell/ market, run promotion on different cleaning aspects, like office cleaning, house cleaning. furniture cleaning, home services, school and colleges, some adhoc offer, a full and complete package should be advertised into the different news papers, attend the call, be polite always and do the service in time, such maintenance will keep your Company active and you will get a place into the market in terms of reliability and quality.make uniform of your staff, should be presentable, keep all local authority requirement updated, no illegal deals etc. An special incentive if any staff doing well so that other may encourage and motivate, such appreciation and acknowledgment will increase efficiency among staff members to work honestly instead to involve in politics.

Pay a little more, run your business like a business and hire a better caliber of people. Make your expectations clear when you hire them. Punctuality, etc. Have a (almost) zero tolerance policy.

use reliable workers and stay with what you earn without going into debt and let it gradually grow.

Has anyone been paid for work assignments done for Make Sunday, LLC? -

they are a personal assistant company. They have a website but none of the links for press work and all references to them have been deleted off Job Vent. Think it is a scam. I have done 2 assignments, but still don t know if I will be paid the $600/wk they promise. In this economy there are a lot of scams that say they will pay you to work at home. I don t see any other references to the company other than their own website.

I just began to work with them. Their office is in NYC on Park Ave, right? Their website messes up with English and German, maybe?Anyhow, I just began my 2nd job when they wanted me to use my bank account to get a wired payment into it to pay for something abroad.... my instinct said NO WAY! and I just sent them an email telling them that their excuse for using my bank account was not welcomed, when Western Union will accept payments of up to $7500 over the phone with a service charge of $340 or if you take it to an agent and use your debit / credit card the service charge will be $225.I basically told them that business transactions have to be honest and based on integrity. I have yet to build trust with them and they are asking me to give them my bank account number? Are they joking or what? and proceeded to tell them that I m fine ending my services to them right here. If I am still in probationary period.... maybe they should step in and take over! Oh yes, they were luring me with a bonus payment of $300 by using my bank account! It s not about the money anymore.... it s integrity.I began looking the www for Make Sunday, LLC. but couldn t find anything on them until now. Thanks for putting that question up!

No..and I am very leary about continuing to spend hours putting together researchs on rental cars and such. I have asked for a contract of employment for the work before I continue...we ll see how that goes. It also seems that anything that I have found about them gets deleted.. hmmm.. and why is it when you google them, not even the website comes up in the search. It s just very weird. And i m pretty sure they re a part of AskSunday.. Let me know if you hear anything!

Sure does sound like a scam. I suspect you will not get anything, but I guess you should keep trying to contact them.

How to find stats, market research etc to help with a business plan? -

Can you access government stats, Uni s research etc and if so how?With the WWW I thought there would be a lot of info but I can t seem to gather the right data.Any suggestions welcome.

statistics from more than 100 agencies http://www.fedstats.gov

This can be tough to find online, even though we all love Google (except Yahoo and MSN). I d look at compete.com, maybe alexa.com for stats and maybe some market research. Then I d look up market research companies (especially those near you if your topic is necessarily geographically focused); looking at what they offer and how they claim to offer their services. There are gobs of government research available online, but you have to be very clear on what you want and then go through alot to find it. Try your local Secretary of State website and then looking for internet based market research companies. Usually stats are better and more important than market research (some would argue that stats are market research).Look at other companies doing what it is that you want to do and study their annual reports, websites, board of directors (if they have one) and how they run, who they hire to help them with research and development, and you ll start to see patterns.

Can an employer pay her employees like this? -

my sister works at an afterschool program in SC (anderson county, if it makes a difference). It s small and has maybe 10 employees. She has been working there since the beginning of the year. Her pay schedule is: she gets paid for 15 days of work every 30 days. for instance, the first 15 days she worked last month was on her paycheck at the end of that month. the next 15 days she worked last month were on her check at the end of this month. Almost a year of that pay schedule and she s VERY far behind on what she s supposed to be paid. her boss gave her a raise, but she couldn t afford to pay her for the full 15 days with the new raise. so she kept the hourly rate at the new rate, but only paid her for 12 days instead of the 15. She says she can t afford it because she s helping a few families by giving them free after school care. is this legal??? and if she were to quit, would her employer be held responsible for paying her all the back pay ?? and how long should my sister give the employer to pay it all back?? thanks!

What the employer is doing is violating SC daycare regulations on how long he/she can employ someone directly in the care of children without being certified.If she quits, she IS due the money, and if the employer doesnt want to pay, she can turn him/her into the SCDOL and dept of social service. They take this kind of violation VERY seriously.

Wow, that is garbage. Like everyone else answered, that is illegal! Your sister should get another job and demand her pay right now. And if her employer doesn t cough up the money immediately (give her a week, at the most), notify the authorities.Also, it doesn t matter if she s giving every person in the state free child care, your sister is due the money she is owed for working! Your sister s employer is a sleazeball and an idiot.

1. yes its illegal.2. tell her to find a new job3. call the cops on this person4. both the lady and your sister would do well to learn about money management it goes to show NOT EVERYONE should be in business for themselves.

This is so illegal, your sister should quit now and demand ALL of her backpay in one fell swoop. If no payment, off to labor department she goes! ---Kasey C, PC guru since Apple II daysI m not a complete idiot, some parts are missing!

what she is doing is illegal tell your sister to keep her hours in a book for herself and turn her in to the dept of labor in your state

Wage and hour division does not take to kindly to this kind of shenanigan.
