How to start an online adversiting company? -

I wanted to start an strong advertising company.

I just signed up with commission junction. If you have a web page you can become an affiliate and it cost you nothing to get started. I spent about two weeks looking for this kind of program.

I want to become a franchise owner. How do I choose the right one? -

Hi - The right franchise for you depends on what you are looking for in a franchise (ie home-based, low cost, etc). To give you a place to start, you can find a list of the Top performing franchises for 2009 here:http://www.entrepreneur.com/franchise500�� When doing your research and comparison shopping of different franchises, consider the following factors: (1) the demand for the products or services, (2) likely competition in your area, (3) the franchisor s history and background and (4) the level of support you will get from the company. Also factor in any needs you have as a franchise owner before making a decision.

You��ve decided that you would just love to own a franchise business. You��re as excited as a 10-year-old at Disneyworld every time you think about it. Great! But exactly what type of franchise are you most suited for? How do you decide which one is your best match? Where to start��There are several decisions that you need to make for yourself when you begin the road to choosing the best franchise. As a franchise consultant, I often am told by a candidate that they want more information about a specific business without first considering the important elements of the opportunity. And I don��t necessarily mean whether you��d rather be selling Big Macs or washing German Shepherds. The product or service you offer should be secondary to the type of lifestyle your business will allow you and your specific role as a franchisee. Here are 6 key elements you need to be clear about before deciding on the best choice for you.1. Will my business meet or exceed my financial goals? You need to define ahead of time the necessary income that your franchise must generate. Once you do this, it is very important that you ask this question of current franchisees during your due diligence process. Also, some franchisors provide an earnings claim in their UFOC (Uniform Franchise Offering Circular), listed as Item 19. 2. What are the operating hours of my business? Is it family friendly? Does it allow for plenty of time with your spouse and kids, or are you single and a workaholic? Will you have the free time you need to go to the gym or play tennis with your friends? Or are you happiest when you are working and are fine with working nights and on weekends if necessary? 3. What about employees? Are you the type of person that is very ��hands on�� and prefers to do it all, or are you comfortable with a competent manager running the business when you��re not there? Do you prefer a limited amount of mature, experienced employees, or are you okay with teenagers running your franchise on a Saturday night? 4. Do you enjoy selling? How will you obtain customers? Are you an ace salesperson who loves to pound the pavement and the thrill of a challenge? Do you get excited at the prospect of giving a sales presentation at an upscale hotel in front of 300 executive buyers? Or do prefer a retail setting where customers find you? Maybe you like the idea of the franchisor handling the bulk of the advertising and marketing for you.5. Tried and true product/service or cutting edge? Do you prefer a product or service that has been successful for decades or are you excited about the newest trend? 6. Office setting or mobile service? Are you happiest behind a desk in your office with your computer preparing budgets or would you enjoy making presentations to homeowners looking to invest in home improvements? Or maybe you would derive satisfaction and pleasure by helping stranded motorists in a roadside assistance business.As you can clearly see, there is so much more that is involved in your franchise decision than simply what product or service you��ll be representing. The above questions are just a sampling of questions you need consider when deciding which franchise concept is most aligned with your values. As an experienced franchise consultant, I can help you identify those values that are most important to you by diving even deeper into these important considerations. Armed with this information, I will then show you only those franchise opportunities that meet your specific requirements.

Taxi royalty scheme ideas wanted!? -

Hi... i run a taxi business and would like to offer all my customers an incentive for booking our taxis online and re-using our services for future trips. Can someone give me ideas on what would be the best scheme to opt. Our prices are slighly higher than our competitors...but our service is (in my opinion) far better. our new website will (still under devlopment) let our customer book online...keep a track and view of all their bookings in past....and make payments online..... i want to add a incentive scheme..so they carry on using our web interface to book their taxi. Please suggest ideas or inform me of any existing schemes if known. I have a loyalty card idea....but not sure how i can award the points...i mean what to base their points on...etc thanks in advance for your ideas.

Honestly, I m not sure what you mean by scheme. Why not just offer something simple, like 5 or 10% off if they book online? I rented a motor scooter on vacation once, and got 10% off since I booked it online.

you could offer every so many miles equals 1 star, and so many stars equal a free taxi.deals for pensioners, students, have a booze run into town on the weekends with perhaps a slight discount or incar entertainment (a loud radio!!)your gona have to research the ideas try this tho http://www.love2reward.co.uk/rewards/fee��

I view loyalty cards as taking the pi** out of my intelligence!!! So it wouldn t work with me that one!!!(but most folks are gullible anyway)I d keep coming back to you if you were reliable and your cars were decent...

Hi im a subcontractor for a cleaning company,can i sell my contract to any1?if yes what do i have to do?thanx? -

say i can sell my contract to any1 and i did find my customer.what should i do next what is the procedure?do i have to get paper works from the lawyer or what??thanks again:)

You need to review your contract to see if it allows you to sell / transfer it. Many times this would not be allowed, but it definitely depends on your specific contract.

CALLING OUT FROM WORK!!!? -

k so i missed work due to suspected pink eye..which my employers witnessed the previous day, but i decided to go in with the bloodshot eye.the doctor established it was not pink eye, and that i WAS fit to work, despite calling in under the suspicion that i had pink eye...i did not get a note, assuming that the doctor would not write one as i technically was fit to work, and from experience, such notes are only written if i was physically unfit to be in a work environment.what if my employer asks for the note?

just tell them you went to the doctor as a precaution to make sure it wasn t anything serious

just say screw yall. My frickin eye hurts, and i wanted to stay home. bizz

I need to copyright a name for a product i am trying to promote? -

Product names are usually trademarked, at least in the USA, although if it s determined to be non-trademarkable, you can fall back on copyrighting.Google US Patent and Trademark Office and US Copyright for more information.

I have been told you can do a poor mans patent but writing it down, put it in an envelope and mail it to yourself (you would have to drop it in a post office box cause they won t take it out your mailbox sometimes with the same address on it). Then it will be post marked with the date that you came up with it and all on the envelope. DON T OPEN IT. Supposedly the post mark is a legal stamp and if some one tried to steal it from you then you could go to court (or just to a lawyer) and show them the envelope and post mark and let them open it or open it in front of them so they can see your plan inside and that it was your as of that date, so if they claim to have come up with it after that it is supposed to hold up...You might want to look in to this though. A lot of lawyers do free consultations so you could ask one how to do it also.

Write to the library of congress or contact a lawyer that you can trust. I would suggest doing some homework for a lawyer. Do not choose the first one you talk to.hope this helps!

If the product is yours and its unique yes..
