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.

Would it be illegal to sell cakes from my college dorm? -

I bake well enough for people to offer to pay me for the cakes I make. I would not actually do it from my dorm but i would meet them somewhere on campus to give them their order... anywho... would it be illegal... like taking orders for specific cakes and stuff?

I m sure in your dorm rental agreement it says you cannot use it to operate a business. Also, I know that most colleges do not let you operate a business on campus without special clearance and memberships. Don t do it illegally. You may get kicked out of school. But perhaps look into renting a space off campus and make deliveries from your dorm room.

No - that s not illegal - I ve got friends that do that - She specializes in Wedding Cakes - provides service to reception halls and homes. Its a part-time business. You ll need to go all the way, if you decide to rent a shopping mall rental or storefront. DBA, Business license, checking account. Keep it casual - get or make nice business cards!Your name: Cakes for all occasions - birthdays, weddings, graduation - whatever and Just your phone or email. No address or expect company.

In many states, food manufacturers are required to be certified by the board of health, or some other government agency that oversees the preparation of food. If you sell cakes on a casual basis, you may be able to fly under the radar, but if you start advertising, they may find out and shut you down.

idk but sign me up...i miss home cooking :(

How can I sell homemade caskets and coffins? -

In my home country I used to make caskets and coffins and sell them, I can produce very good quality caskets, better than what they sell at Wal-Mart. I dont see much regular people in this business, so I would like to start my own Casket business. How would I go about doing this? Is it legal to just build and sell them from my garage?

How to make money in internet but it shouldnt be any MLM or any paid service? -

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.

Hi,Yes, you can make money as an online Affiliate Marketer. I��m making money online as we speak. Have started Affiliate Marketing earlier this year in March. I was making about $100 to $200 per week. Then as I learn from other Super Affiliate Marketers out there��I started making more. As of August 2009, I��m earning over $1,000 / week as an Affiliate Marketer. The learning curve is different for each person, but if you take the time to learn about affiliate marketing, then the rewards will be there for you. The best way of making money online without spending a lot money is to be an Affiliate Marketer. You don t need a website nor do you need any products. As an affiliate marketer you will market products for various companies that will pay you a commission for selling their products. (Commission is usually from 50% to 75%). So you don t need a website; you don t have to call anyone to sell them a product; you don t need to join any mlm; You just need to refer people to the site of their interests and earn a commission.Where do you learn all about these products? Check out www.clickbank.com . This is a market place to find vendors who are looking for affiliates to market their products. It costs nothing to sign up with them and nothing to start.There are so many online methods you can use to drive traffic to these various sites you are promoting. Some of these methods include: blogging, Pay Per Click (PPC), Article Writing, eMail Marketing, and much more. To learn more about these methods, I recommend the beginners to learn from experienced Affiliate Marketers such as Ewen Chia, Michael Jones, Mack Michaels, Bobby Walker, Adell Chowdhry, and Kris Trujillo. These are some of the true Affiliate Marketers out there with great success.Only down side is cost of advertising and getting the words out. However, this is the only type of business where you can start part time and one day earn as much as your FT job. FYI..,I started this part time 6 months ago and within 6 months..I m earning more PT then my regular FT job. Crazy..,but true, How much you put into, you ll get out of it as well.In addition, I also recommend learning from the Super Affiliate Marketers out there that can eliminate your time and efforts by teaching you how to market products for free and the various methods that are available for you to use. You can find more information on Affiliate Marketing at www.Super-Affiliates-Club.com. Save yourself time and invest in yourself and learn and you ll soon make money online. You can start making $100 to $200/day within the next 3 days, but you have to start today and learn. It can be frustrating, but the learning curve is shorter when you learn from an Affiliate Marketer guru. Yes..you can start even today after reading this post. It sounds crazy, but it s all true. Here��s my recommended steps to online success --- 1) Learn from an Affiliate Marketer 2) go to ClickBank.com and find a product to promote. Very easy, but takes a little effort to learn the secrets of the gurus.Good Luck,Tony
