Good Business Plan Idea? Need Advice And Opinons!? -

I ve been unemployed for over 2 months and where I live there is no hope in getting a job until after Christmas...my town is small and basically shuts down by mid-November and I ve handed out over 30 resumes but got turned down on EVERY SINGLE ONE :( I do babysit often and do odd jobs for people but it s far and few between and makes little to no money. Anyways, I ve been trying to think of ways I could be self-employed and came up with a plan. If I sold home-made Quilts, pillows, Baby Nursery Sets, personalized items, etc. (I m excellent at sewing) and sold them on-line (on Ebay or something), could that be viable way to bring in income. I would list several patterns for everything so people can choose from them, and everything would be up to them. I know there will be extra expenses like shipping, etc. and it won t bring in steady profit, but what does everyone think about that? What items would you like to see for sale/buy? I need ideas...Thanks everyone! :)

Wow! that s a good business idea. And the fact that you re excellent at sewing. You can do a lot with that and make instant money easily. The best choice of site where you can start your business is in Etsy. You can sell your homemade Quilts and anything handmade at Etsy. Though there are some fees that you will have to pay in posting but its minimal compared to ebay. You could easily start and make a store there. I would suggest to make your handmade products unique and of course in excellent quality. take a photo of your items and upload it in etsy. Don t forget to advertise and join any forums related to your product line.Here s what you can do for your business plan (May vary):1. State Your Objectives.2. Describe the Business3.

Hi Kate! Don t you want to try to work with me? I have in Russia a marriage agency, many British men are interested in finding wives here. If you find a man/men who are interested to come to Rostov, you will have good income. Think about it. If you get interested, write to my e-mail: russenigma@yahoo.co.uk

As far as suggesting items I m afraid I can t be much help. Us guys usually aren t into stuff like that. That could be a viable way to create income. They key is how well you market it though. That is the key. You could have the best products in the world, but if people don t know about them and where to buy them nothing else matters. Focus more on how you ll market the products and you can figure the rest out as you go along. Start out small though, don t have too many designs. Keep it simple and you can add more as you grow.
