What are the courier services that ship to australia from u.s.a. via sea/ocean and have flat rates? -

Here are some forwarding companies you might want to look into (including the one that I use.) http://www.BongoUS.com - Great technology, great customer service, great prices. This is who I use now. I am also in AU and their rates and transit times are very consistent. Here is a link to the rates chart on the BongoUS website: http://www.bongous.com/shipping_cost_cal��http://www.usa2me - ok technology, good customer service, high prices with additional fuel added when you shiphttp://www.usglobalmail.com - older technology/website, good customer service, high pricesHope this helps.

check these links too...they re waaaayyy much cheaper.http://www.discountshipping.us/sea/economy3.cfmhttps://www.oceanfreightusa.com/calc.php#calc_bottom Report Abuse

No flat rates....... Yet it depend on what the size of your package (it could be freight..) Best deals on shipping if you are in USA, Canada, or UK is with the postal service (EMS).. USPS in US.. they have the best rates for shipping to australia (30-50% cheaper).. Have a great day ..

no one has flat rates - depends on what each package weighs and possibly it s dimensions

Is PayPals Payflow Pro payment gateway good? -

Is it good ? I heard if you sign up for the gateway service, you also get a PayPal account.... just wondering how reliable their gateway service is, and how the linked PayPal account works in taking payments from individuals PayPal accounts. Thanks.

very good!!

It works well and is quite reliable. If you are going to be dealing with larger international transactions for companies/corporations, you may want to consider using a company such as global collect.

Can anyone give me some small business advice? -

I am 27 and I have a passion for baking. My sister is quite a cook as well. I have been thinking a lot (meaning for the past couple of years)about how much I would enjoy owning a bakery. There aren t that many bakeries in the town I live in (Norman,OK). Which is why I would really like to run one. A bakery that can have an edge as well as cater to the sweets lovers, and the vegans, and organic folks. I don t have professional experience and I have heard sometimes banks do look at that when considering a small business loan. Can anyone out there maybe help me with some tools and references so I can really take a serious look at this possibility? I would appreciate it.

I would stay clear of an SBA loan. The rates are very high, you would be better off self funding. I would suggest trying it out of your home before incurring the overhead of a bakery. I knew someone who baked custom cakes out of their home for birthday parties and other special events. I would start by doing something like that. Then once you have a loyal following and some revenues to show for it, you will be in a stronger position to get a bank loan (at reasonable rates). Good luck...

I recommend that you review this flowchart for small business loans - it gives information about what you need at each step.

If you can startup with your own money, it is the best way to go. However, if you need to ask for a loan, then you need to write an excellent and thorough business plan to present to a bank. Since you will be a new business, you will need to include a lot of research in yoru business plan. A business plan of 10 pages will NOT cut it. Expect it to be 30 pages + if it is done right. Since it will take you a while to write it, I highly suggest going to a library and checking out some of the books they have there on business plans. Experience is not necessary, but a plus, however if you do your homework right, it will pay off.

What does a business management major earn annually? -

What do they earn when they first start off and what do they earn after starting off and have around 5-10 years experience? I am thinking about majoring in this field and need to decide fairly soon.

Depends on many things, including the following:1. What part of the country you are in.2. What type of entry level job are you willing to take to earn experience.3. If you graduated with honors AND have great intern/co-op experience.Reality is that MOST degrees, Business Management included, do NOT have an actual path to a job. Business Management degrees are worth somewhere between Liberal Arts and Accounting, sometimes.NO company hires a brand new grad in Business Management and puts them into a management position. You will start at the bottom, just like everyone else.

Can an employer make you go to a new location just because you married a fellow employee? -

we both work at mcdonalds and have just recently gotten married. we are both good workers and we work well with eacthother. now all of a sudden our employer wants one of us to transfer to a new location. she says that we will see eachother too much and that wont be good for our marriage. thats not true because i am also a full time student and we rarely have the same shifts anyway. the only time we see eachother is at night. our personal lives do not effect our work, no one even knew we were even together. we have worked together at other jobs before and we have always got along great, we have never had a complaint. our current employer even says we have done nothing wrong. the other location is alot farther away from our apartment, we have to walk everywhere and walking nearly 23 blocks at 2am is not safe at all, plus winter is coming. i found it odd that my employer and i had just worked out my availability on the weekends to where we could both agree and then an hour later she calls me back telling me about the new location change. can she do this? we were not married at the time of employment and we got married about a week ago. my employer has known about this for two weeks and now out of the blue its an issue.

Doesn t McDonald s have a thing where you can write to the corporation if you don t like something going on in your store? Perhaps try that. I worked at McDonald s while I was in college, too. And we had a lot of couples and people related to each other who worked their. The only thing I can say is check the papers you signed when you started there and ask to see their policy handbook. If it s not written somewhere I don t think they can just make you move. Tell your employer that the new location is just too far away.

You will want to read your employment agreement, but typically that is common practice.

Should I use a business plan, or proposal format when asking a lender for money? -

I need to request money from a lending company, to build property. However, I also need to build and establish my credit with a bank. I ve already brought the land with my own money. If the lending company decides to give me a loan. I would then put that money in a CD to gain interest and credit, while continuing to use my own money to finish building my property. Which letter format would I use to make this request and what should the letter contain?

1) Business plan2) Projected cashflow3) references, business and personal4) Remember to try several banks, and if they did not approve, ASK WHY. ---Kasey C, PC guru since Apple II daysComputers: pen for people who have bad handwriting.

Definitely a business plan. But bear in mind that the lender will have stipulations on use of funds so you will need to use the money for the specific purpose that you are requesting it. Placing it on a CD does not qualify. In fact you will be getting a lower rate of interest on the CD than the higher loan interest. Good luck.

Whats a good T shirt printer? -

I run a site and want to produce t shirts for my viewers to buy. I live in New Zealand and it would be inconvenient for my American viewers (the majority are american) to have to pay for shirt to be shipped from here to there.What is a t shirt company that can print the t shirt when i get an order for one and ship it? I will obviously pay them the cost of shipping and give the customers address.Also I would prefer a company that DOES NOT charge $15-20 per print because then I would barely break even.

What you want is a custom printer who will also be your North American distributor. I typed custom t-shirt printing into Yahoo s search engine and 401,000 possibilities came up. I m sure at least one will be willing to work with you.

easy go online. Seriously you can get way better deals and much more variety http://www.nike2nike.com/Brand-T-Shirts-��

How can i broaden my avon business? -

i am an independent avon representative, and i need ideas to get my business on the move...Please help

It is very difficult. In most areas there are so many other reps to compete against making it a challenge to increase your customer base and grow your business.If you want to make income from a home-based business, I would look around at other opportunities. There are many great companies out there with fantastic products that use indpendent reps or distributors to sell their products. Find one with products that you like that have fewer reps and a higher profit margin.Good luck!

If I said I was an expert in my field is that legal? -

if i said i was the expert in car repair is that legal We ARE the experts in auto repair! that was the quote i was going to use

Yes it s legal. Saying you re an expert at something isn t really quantifiable, so technically everyone can make up their own definition. There s really no legal difference between your quote and saying We re the best in auto repair! You can t prove you re an expert, but since there s no legal definition, no one can say you re not an expert.

It s fine. I do it all the time.

How to start a tutor business at the age of 13? -

Ok I am 13 in 7th grade and I am really good at math, I am a 7th grader in 8th grade math. I want some spare cash and my family is pretty tight on money these days so I thought I might tutor people in math for like $10.00 an hour? I ve helped 2 of my friends in math and their grades have gone up. How could I become a tutor?

Don t bother - what parent is going to pay you?

Try putting up fliers around your neighborhood. Or, you can also talk to a library and set up tutoring classes at a library. :)Hope this helps!

sounds good to me

Reserve Price on Ebay too high, how to cancel it? -

I recently bidded on a webkinz cheeky cat. The reserve price is too high, and I bidded on it about 11 times. It says I ve been outbid, but now I want to cancel it. Is there a way I can even do that?If you re interested in trying to win it, here s the link:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie��Please try and buy it!

If you ve been outbid, there s nothing to cancel. You didn t win the item, and you won t have to pay for it.EDIT: It looks like you tried to bid 99 cents about 10 or 12 times. That s not how you bid on items with a reserve. If you tried at 99 cents and they told you the reserve was higher than that, the only reason to bid again would be if you were going to bid a higher amount. Bidding the same amount multiple times is not the way to win something on eBay.

they are not going to sell it for less then 200 bucks, you didn t bid 200 so you won t get it....you have nothing to worry about.

I am starting a security company (Guarding) please suggest a slogan.? -

The name of the company is TERRIER security services

TERRIER-----The Trusted name for security

Before you jump in, it may be prudent to evaluate security brands that already have an established presence and client base. For instance, Arrow Security has been around for over 25 years, already have companies that know, trust and use their service and they ve spent all the time and money on marketing, branding and advertising research - so you don t need to worry about reinventing the wheel. In the end, it can save you lots of time and money, and give you more time to focus on improving your security service.

+ Security starts with TERRIER+ Safe AND Sound+ We ll keep an eye on you!+ We ll watch catch+ Eye Spy+ Your personal private eye.+ we have eyes for you+ Someone to watch over me..............+ we re looking out for you

TERRIER-Security you can trust

GARD HARD!or Terrier - we like it ruff, we ll ruff you up, we ll protect your pound, etc etc.my personal fave is we like it ruff lololoolololololol

Which online data jobs are for real? majority are asking for money frm $35-100 before they sign you.? -

Pls give me the sites.

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.

elly, this is the best I found:http://www.gdi-thuiswerk.wstake a look. It s very interesting

No such thing as an online job. They are all scams of one sort or another. Go out and get a real job if you want a job with wages or salary.

There aren t any, that s the honest truth, these sites are made to scam desperate people.

How to obtain a copy of a will? -

How can I get a copy of a will of my (Kentucky) deceased parents? My brother was executive over the estate and refused to let me have a copy of the will. My parents have been gone for eight years now. My brother hasn t spoke to me since before their passing. He would not even speak at the funeral and threatened to call the police if i ever came to the house. I didn t try because I was young and was afraid of him. He still has the house but I would love to get a copy of the will without him knowing just to ease my mind. I find it hard to believe my parents left me out because we were very close but I also know he had them blinded and they trusted him. I didn t get anything and would just really love to get just one picture and he always said I wouldn t even get a piece of fuzz under the bed. I don t want to get an attorney involved, I would just like to have a piece of mind.

Step 1Request a copy of the last will and testament from the courthouse. To start the process of requesting a copy of a last will and testament from public record, one needs the full legal name of the departed, along with her date of birth and location of residence. This information will be required for county courthouse forms that will need to be completed for the request. A fee may be charged to file for request of a copy. A potential heir may have a right to see a will before it becomes a matter of public record, which will happen after possibly going through probate courts.Step 2Contact the named executor or appointed administrator of the will. If the departed had created a last will and testament, the appointed executor has the responsibility of distributing the remains of an estate. It can take up to a year for the executor of a last will and testament to ensure that any claims against the estate of the departed have been paid, and before any remaining assets can be turned over to any parties named in the will. The named executor or appointed administrator will be on file with the courthouse.Step 3Check public notices and inquire if the will is in probate court and if a case number has been assigned. A court of law may need to determine if a last will and testament is valid before it is executed. Estate laws vary state-by-state, but a copy will be kept on file by the court. It is available as public record. Requesting a copy from the court may need to be done in writing, in person or by telephone and a fee may be charged. Contact the courthouse clerk to find out the procedure since the request process can vary by county.Step 4Requisition the court for a copy of the will while it is still in probate. If a will is currently in probate--or for some reason did not go to court--one can requisition the court to contest the will as a possible heir. The will being executed may not be the final will, or the departed may not have created the final will in a sound mental state. The probate process will determine that the will being executed is the legally sound copy.Step 5Communicate with relatives or friends of the departed to try and find out if the will may not have been made public record by a court. Not every last will and testament goes to probate. The probate process may depend on the property being dispersed in the will, and it varies according to state laws. To transfer titles and for most real property like as an auto or house, a last will and testament must be filed with a county court that will determine such procedures. It is up to the executor of the will to carry out the aforementioned responsibilities

When someone pays me at ebay where does the money go? -

i sell somethingand i want to know where does the money goes when they pay mei put payment by paypaldoes the money goes to my credit card or how?does the money deposits into my card?

What ever account you register with paypal to use is where your payments will go.

No, the payment goes into your paypal account and then you either transfer it into a confirmed bank account with paypal, or you request a paper check which can take up to 2 weeks. Feel free to email me with any other questions about it. I hope that helps!

The money sits there till you decide what to do with it. You can apply for a paypal debit card or set up a savings account and have it transfered to it.When you purchace something it can be deducted from that balance or to your credit card.

If you asked for payment by Paypal, then the money will go into your Paypal account. It will stay there until you tell Paypal what to do with it. (Do this by logging in to your Paypal account and click the Withdraw Funds button.)

Your buyer pays you through paypal.The money SITS in your paypal account.You can spend it.You can transfer it to your bank account (there is a withdrawal tab).You can pay $150 and ask them to send you a check.

it goes into your paypal account. U can spend it online, get a check, or have them put it into your bannk account

Whats happens on eBay when u sell an item? -

and the person you sent it to clams they didn t receive it?she paid me with bank deposit.

You get in trouble with ebay; possibly suspended

Bank deposit? Sounds like you may be in the UK?These instruments are rarely used in the US - banks will often charge the receiver a fee for them.PayPal in US allows only PayPal or other authorized electronic payment.If you shipped without delivery confirmation or insurance you are almost certainly OUT the item, and will also have to return the money.Insurance and Deliver Confirm doesn t protect the buyer - it s for the benefit of the seller. I ve sent out hundreds of cheaper items without insurance, but all had DC, which PayPal will accept as proof of delivery.If you DID in fact use DC ( or its equivalent in the UK) PayPal may deny her claim. You have to have proof that you used it. And, correspond with this buyer ONLY thru eBays Ask Seller a Question function, to properly preserve proof of correspondence. Your own email won t do it with PayPal

Check on ebay s site first. Other people I am sure have had this experience and there are questions and answers where you can get info from other buyers.I NEVER send out a parcel unless it is insured or proof of delivery is purchased. I add that into my costs.Did you check your buyers feedback. Do they have a 100%. Maybe they have done this before.

What sort of charge would a solicitor want for writing some half dozen short notification letters? -

How long is a piece of strin?It depends on what you mean by notification letters. The solicitors concerned will be legally responsible for their content, so they will make a charge to cover any research they may have to do.I would guess at an overall charge of around three to four hundred, plus VAT.

It depends on what part of the country you re in as well as the complexity of the letters. Some solicitors charge ��100 an hour, others ��600. Some have a standard rate for letters. I doubt that you d get anything done for less than ��300 and it could be a lot more.

Well you ask one for a price in advance. They charge at least ��100 an hour for their time. Ask for a quote.

What, legally, do I need to start a bakery? -

I have the experience, the place, the materials, etc. I m just lost as to how to go about getting started. I realize that there are permits, etc. required, but would appreciate any information you could offer as to what, specifically, that entails: what permit, license, etc. How much? What, in essence, is the process of applying, inspection, etc. to get started? Again, I can get the funds, etc. and don t plan to use any employees at first, so insurance, etc. isn t an issue either. Just looking for the legal aspect really. Thanks for your time and help.Kellykchristian811@yahoo.com

It depends on what city and county you are located in.You will probably need:1. Food Handler s Permit (you may have to take a class for this).2. Business License (inquire at your city administration office).3. Sales Tax Permit (if you are required to collect sales tax on what you sell). Also inquire at your city administration office.4. When you get employees, you will need to contact your State Employment agency and set up an account with them to report employees wages and pay state unemployment taxes.You will also need to do the same with the I.R.S. for federal unemployment taxes.That s about all I can think of. Good luck.

What Merchant Credit Card Processing Services Do I Need To Accept Payments Online? -

I m starting an internet business and will need to accept credit card payments. Should I use something like paypal or should I just get my own merchant account and payment gateway? From my initial testing, my sales look very promising and I m expecting a lot of business.

Hi. I had the same decision to make when I was starting my online business so I know what problems you are facing.At first I used paypal, but then my sales were increasing very quickly and I knew I needed to switch to a merchant account/payment gateway setup to handle the larger volume.I came across this website, http://www.electronictransferservice.com and they really helped me learn a lot. There s plenty of information on their pages and I discovered so much about how all this works with processing credit cards. Their FAQ section is definitely worth a look.I m not recommending you sign up with them in anyway, but I did contact them and was able to get all my questions about merchant credit card processing answered from a real live person. That was pretty cool.I eventually went with a different company, but at least I was armed with much more knowledge than when I first started.I m thankful to say that my business and sales have been doing well and making the switch was, to me, a good choice. You ll have to determine for yourself if and when you will make the switch.One thing though, if your volume of sales is not enough to cover the costs of processing fees, then I would go with paypal and just wait till it does.Hope that helps and good luck!

Is there a software for weekly grocery ads? -

Looking for a software to make a grocery store s weekly ads.

Talk to company that will handle printing the ads. They might require certain formats or will recommend the programs they use.There are some general publishing software that works well. You will need photos of the items on sale, but once you have them it will go rather quickly.

Oh wow, sorry about my first answer...just got what you were asking. Unfortunately I do not know of any software that is available, but if you have pictures of what is on sale you can probably find something with simple drag and drops and work from that.

What are some good ideas for a rubbish sale? -

My friends and I got this project for a club we were in The Green Club. We are suppose to take our schools recycled stuff and turn it into somthing we would sell! The profit would go to our green club. And to support the class of 2010! Any ideas please feel free to contribute your idea. All ideas are welcome!!!!! Thanx!

This may help http://current.com/items/90623161_help-m��

Our local sportsman club uses shredded paper as bedding for the baby pheasant chicks. This is obviously very easy to make.Also, bird manure combined with shredded paper bedding is a fabulous garden fertilizer. It contains no weed seeds since the chicks on bedding are fed natural sources of food and are not left outside at that time.Besides pheasants, there are other livestock that may be able to utilize it.Also, when we plant trees, we tear newspaper half way through and wrap it around the trunk of a tree transplant to keep weeds down. Perhaps a landscaper who wants to be green.In cold weather climates, like where I live. Things like bottles and buckets are cutoff to make tubes. These tubes are placed around early spring garden plants to protect from frost.My final idea is an art contest using those products where people can either do silent bids on the art or buy votes at $1 a piece for each art piece. This may or may not be democracy depending upon your view and someone could literally buy the winner. But if it is cash for your class of 2010 and going green, go for it.Hope this helps

Ebay second chance offer question.? -

My item sold, but I have more than one of them. Can offer the 2nd higher bidder a second chance offer for the duplicate one? Or sould I relist the item?

Let s say the auction ended at $25 for the high bidder and $24 for the second bidder.If you are willing to accept $24, send them the SCO.While the bidder is not required to accept it, if they do, you don t pay listing fees, only the FVF.

Can i sack an employee? -

i have had many complaints from customers about the same employee regarding attitude i have spoken to the employee in the past but still receiving complaints which is causing us to lose customers do i have grounds to dismiss this employee

its best to have a paper trail give the employee a written warning with all of the pertinent facts if it continues than fire the employee

you will first have to go though disciplinary Procedures. first those in the contract you gave your employee and make shore they comply with the latest rules if you do not go through the correct procedures you will be open to being done for wrongful dismissal. employee have more right now than ever. be very careful

If in the UK and you have already given two warnings about being sacked ,then you would have to give a written warning then if the complaint is still there it would be instant dismissal.

Not before you give them a verbal then a written warning. Then be ready for a lengthy tribunal for unfair dismissal.

Obviously yes.

you have grounds for a final written warning

Want to open business.......want guidance.? -

i hav to open small business in textile.......what steps i hav 2 take?guide me.........

The first step is to forget texting short cuts when writing. If you can t spell, well then, that would be another thing altogether. And if you can t spell you will never own your own business. But, since you didn t spend much time caring in school, my suggestion would be for you to go to work for a textile company and start as the janitor and learn all the ropes from the inside out. Certainly not thinking that without hard work and sweat you ll ever amount to squat and you ll still be needing to do something and it will always be from the outside (like this) looking in.

How can I start my own website? -

I want to start a web site about fashion, but do i need my own photos? or can I use photos legally from a certain source? For example, if I want to use a picture of a celebrity, how can I use it legally? Help any suggestions are welcome, thank you

You can go with a free web host, then later upgrade to a paying account if you need more features. This is a good option, because free web hosts often offer very easy to use programs and interfaces that make it a snap to build your own web site, even if you don t know much about programming [HTML, javascript, etc]. Some will even give you cool graphics and templates to start you off with. You can also go with a fee-based host as well. Just make sure-- if you re totally new to web page building-- that whichever one you eventually choose has an easy program you can use to build your site with.I have to warn you, though, that based on your content [nudity], you might run into a little trouble setting up an account. This is because many web hosts are very strict about the type of content they will host. So before you sign up with any host, make sure you read its Terms of Service to make sure your photos are acceptable, or you might find yourself in violation and have your site revoked one day down the line.

You should use Office Live Small Business to build your website. It��s template-based, so you don��t need to know or learn how to code, plus it��s extremely inexpensive. Remember that you get what you pay for with free website building services��someone else��s ads all over your site.

UKgt; can anyone help me w UK business taxing? -

Hiya!I m thinking of registering myself as selfemployed. I don t have a clue of how taxing works, but, lets say my business has an annual profit of 20k, how much tax must I pay?Also, If i sell goods for ��100, ill have to pay 15% vat. Will that count towords my tax payments or am i taxed tweice? thanks!!

If your earnings are ��20,000 after expenses have been taken off, you then take off the ��6475 tax-free personal allowance. You would pay tax on the difference of ��13,525 at 20% (1/5) = ��2,705. For the self-employed, you have to complete an annual Tax Return, which gets issued on 6th April each year, and pay tax twice a year, on 31st January and 31st July. The rules for people when starting are a bit complicated, and I don t think this is the place to put reams of explanations. However the tax year goes from 6th April to 5th April, and income you have received from 6th April until the date of starting self-employment is also taken into account when calculating your liability. You are, however, given credit for any tax already paid, perhaps under PAYE.Although you may be under the limit at which you have to register or charge VAT, you may wish to register so that you can claim business VAT refunds.Self-employed people have to pay both Class 2 and Class 4 NI contributions. Class 2 is a fixed weekly rate, Class 4 is based on profits, a tax in all but name. See http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/rates .

Oh Dear, I think you need to talk to Business Link or an Accountant before you start. You will only pay tax on your net profits. As for vat you cannot claim it back unless you are VAT registered and you do not have to do that until your income is 68k a year.

What happens if you buy a product on ebay but you never get it because it was a scam? -

Will you ge tthe money back?I need a macbook pro but I don t have enough money to buy it from apple or other retailer so I was thinking about buying it from ebay.I don t have an account so I don t know how it works.How can you be sure you re not going to be scammed?thx

No, you will most likely NOT get your money back. If you got scammed, WHO do you think is going to give it to you?? The ONLY way to guarantee that you will NOT get scammed is to buy from a legit dealer. You get yourself into trouble when you go online to save a few bucks. If you insist on buying online, two things should make you run away from the deal, they are Nigeria or Western Union . If those come up AT ALL during the sale, you are being scammed. Actually, stay away from ANYTHING being sold from outside the USA.

First set up an ebay account, then a paypal account. If you use paypal there is protection for you if things go wrong; they refund you if it turns out you have been scammed (I have had a refund from paypal so I know they do this). Second, research the dealer and the deal. If it looks too good to be true it probably is. Check the seller s feedback to make sure they have plenty of + fb for similar items. Check the item location agrees wiith the seller location. And ALways check postage and handling fees as some dealers will use these to bump up the price. Good luck

I would pay with Paypal and probably only in your country you are from. The reason Paypal is good in situations like Ebay is because they have some type of thing where you can get money back if you didn t receive the item. It is also good to MAKE sure you get a tracking number of some kind.

I have a ticket to work from home from social security how do i find a web site to help me get a job at home? -

i am in need of some one to help me and please i don t want any smart *** answers thank you for your time.

You need to send your resume out to real jobs you are qualified to do. In your cover letter you need to state that you wish to work remotely, from your home office. LOTS of companies, especially in CA operate this way. They usually provide transportation for you to come in for an interview and for you to attend company meetings a few times a year, but otherwise everything is done online.

I am working from home with a 24 yr. old, debt free wellness company (which has earned a couple of awards from the BBB) and I love it!! It s a great opportunity to make extra money, get healthier products in your home, and help others reach their own goals. It s very satisfying and rewarding, AND a great investment because you are making RESIDUAL income! I KNOW with all my heart that I will be a lifetime team member! Partnering with this company does NOT involve selling products, purchasing inventory/samples, or going door-to-door---nothing like that! When you get started, you get a free web site, free training, and amazing ongoing support! This month there s an awesome promotion and it only costs $1 to get started!!!! It is not a get rich quick scheme...you have to take some time to build your business but you can make a pretty significant income over time! I love the fact that this is legit business, with very ethical and moral business practices, that thrives on helping people reach their goals! If you d like to learn more, jot me a quick email and/or send your phone #, and I ll get back to you ASAP! :-)

Would you ever want to work for Ameriplan? -

Im just wondering. I work with ameriplan and I love it! Just wondering your thoughts on it! If interested let me know!Have you worked for them.bad experience?For more details..email me :)

No, with the possibility of passage of some kind of health care reform, unless Ameriplan gets more into selling actual medical insurance, Ameriplan may not survive. If everyone has medical insurance there won t be much need to buy a service that gives discounts to people who pay for their own medical care.

No and don t believe the cut and paste spam of the poster above. It s a tough sell and not a good product.

Does claiming a quot;home officequot; require rezoning? -

I do independent contractor work for law firms (legal research, etc.). Per my accountant s instruction, I am trying to claim part of my residence as a home office, which, because I am renting, requires the homeowner s approval. However, the homeowner refuses to sign the city papers which would allow me to claim a home office where I live. He claims it would have negative tax implications for him (he did not explain), and it would require rezoning. Do either of these claims even make remote sense? I have never heard of rezoning merely for the purpose of establishing a home office (seems like that would defeat the purpose of calling it a home office ). I am not trying to run a business from home, per se. That is, I would not be accepting clients at my house, putting up signage, or anything of the sort. In truth, because I often telecommute, the purpose would be simply to claim my office furniture, mileage for my drives to my clients, etc., all which my accountant says is completely valid for tax purposes.Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Check out this IRS publication about taking a deduction for a home office. There is no mention of zoning requirements. Page 4 of the PDF gives you a simple break down of how to determine eligibility for the deduction.

You have to set up a separate room not your living room or bedroom, as your Home Office . You can claim expenses like furniture and computer etc. You can claim partial Electricity but not rental unless you have a registered business name, sole proprietorship, for your Contract work. Contract Workers are actually required to have a registered business name to make any sort of claims unless you only work for one company then that company is liable for insurance and union fees and salary. Of course, this differs from country to country.

He s a total moron. You don t need rezoning if you re not going to do the things you listed. In fact, your accountant sounds kind of iffy too. Where a home office is concerned, I thought that the only need you had to fulfill is the qualifications that the IRS sets forth. Check with them. There s a huge difference between setting up a home office and setting up a business in a residence. As long as you never have clients there then I don t get the problem.

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

Whatever percentage you claim as a tax credit he will have to pay the tax on later when he sells the property. You are turning a portion of his property into commercial property by making the claim and altering his taxes as now the property is not strictly residential.You are trying to cause him financial hardship, you can t blame him for not signing.You might want to try a different accountant, most of that mileage is not a legal claim either, only the portion over 35 miles one way, or 70 miles per day can be claimed. Your clients have to be very far away in order to have any claims.As long as no clients visit your home and there are no signs regarding your business that can be seen by the public you do not require commerical zoning.

How do I determine what size and thickness of plastic bag I need? -

I have a small business that makes specialized frames that are 8 x 4 . The frames are heavy though - about 1 lb each. I need plastic bags to package them for shipping, but am unsure what size I need. How much larger do I need them? And how thick do they need to be?

Hi Julie ~ This is right up my alley. The thickness you ll need depends on whether the bag is going to actually support the weight of the frame or just serve as protection from dirt, dust and moisture. For the former you ll probably need a 3 mil. If the latter, then 1.25 mil or 1.5 mil should work just fine.The size bag you ll need can t be recommended without the third dimension of the frame. The thickness of your frame will take away from both the width and the length of the bag dimensions. If the frame is one inch thick, for example, then you ll need a minimum of 6 x 10 inch bag. If it s 2 inches, then a minimum of 7 x 11 (not likely to find that, so 7 x 12) would be needed.The examples I gave are allowing just enough to fold the bag over and possibly tape it closed. Anything extra that you might want in the way of length, i.e. to seal it or tie it closed, would need to be added accordingly.Your best bet is to write or call the experts at Discount Plastic Bags. Here s a sample link to one of their products: http://discountplasticbags.com/scripts/product-view-286.aspThey ll have the right answer for you.

PO Box question- how big a box do I need? -

I run a business from home which sometimes requires me to mail packages directly to clients. I am somewhat uncomfortable including my home address as the return address, and I was considering purchasing a PO box to use as my return address. The price goes up dramatically if you need a bigger PO box. If I purchase the smallest box and a package I ship gets returned, would the post office be able to receive it? I don t plan to have anything shipped to my PO box, but it would have to be able to receive returned mail and packages. Do I have to get a large box?

No, you can get a small box. If something is sent to you that won t fit in the box, the post office will put a slip in the box which you can use to pick up the package at the main desk (assuming it s during regular hours).

Many post offices now have reverse lockers. If you get a package too large for your box, they put it in the locker and put the key in your box. That way you can get the package after hours.If they don t have the lockers (or they are all full), they just leave you a note to come in when they are open.

How many miles away do i have to be from a business i just sold to open a new business? -

If there is nothing in the sale contract that says otherwise, the answer is ZERO.

Has anyone else been effectively banned from ebay permanently because of past disputes with buyers/sellers? -

They don t tell you you are banned permanently, but you effectively are because every time you try to open an account, and verify it using a telephone number or debit/credit card, they tell you it s invalid or has been used on too many accounts (while still retaining the details on file and not allowing them to be deleted afterwards)

yOU CAN HAVE MANY ACCOUNTSnothing to do with shilling (bumping up prices on your own stuff)You can have many selling accounts, many buying accounts, and posting ID accountsAll of which need a seperate email addy ( but none of them can interact)You will have been given 30 days suspension and the opportunity to turn it around to comply with ebay rules and regs , if you did not .then you are permanently NARU d (NO LONGER A REGISTERED USER)Not any person in your household will be able to open (or keep) an account when 1 person is NARU ed

your not effectively banned just because they do this, its basically to stop you having 2 accounts which you could use one against the other to knock your own bids up on items your selling. just use a mobile number and get a hotmail email add and your ok

Is itworth while listing my old quot;stuffquot; on that well known on-line auction.? -

Sorry I missed a space in the question..Where it says Is it worth

It s always good to sell on eBay if the items aren t really heavy so the shipping costs will kill the sale unless it s very rare items and also craigs list is a very good place to sell you re goodies as well to the locals as well and if you check around I m sure you can find a place to even set up you re stuff at flea markets or other sales around the community, As for the price on eBay, if you auction the goodies start the bid at a very low figure$.99 that way the cost of the add will be cheaper

Ebay is a huge scam. Be careful, as after you start to accumulate money in your paypal account, which is the only payment accepted by ebay, they will limit your account until you provide them with a rediculous amount of information including your social security number. They just stole $1000 from me Report Abuse

It depends on what your old stuff is. Unfortunately, if it s heavy or bulky old stuff the shipping costs will potentially eliminate any savings your buyer may have - unless it s extremely valuable. Research a comparable item and determine whether it would be worth your while to sell or donate it to charity and take a tax deduction. Don t forget you need to take pictures, write a description, list it, set-up a PayPal account, monitor the sale, pack it and take it to the post office.

I would say give it a go. I have sold little things now and again on ebay and am surprised they sold and it was nice with a bit of extra cash with hardly any hassle at all. Just make sure you plan everything beforehand, have the packaging ready and stuff. You can place your item as a bid or as buy it now, in both cases you can have a reserved price so you don t have to sell it for any less than you want. I have sold second hand shoes, books, bags etc not in the best condition. What s great about ebay is there will always be someone who is looking for that thing you are selling. Search for your item or similar items and look for the selling price by other sellers and match that price or go lower. A lot of people make a couple of pound profit on the p p costs. I think the most important thing is a good photograph. Good luck.

Have you tried craigslist? I sell a lot of stuff on there and it s free. It s local too so you get cash money and don t have to mail anything. I have found that e-bay works better for higher priced items, or one of a kind things, but is more hastle.

i sold my stuff but i think ebay take 10% of what you sell, i sold some things and got a ��6 charge....if they aren t too dear don t sell them just bin them or give them to a charity shop

Depends entirely upon just what your old stuff is and what condition it is. Postage cost can be a deciding factor.

List it. It costs you nothing and people will buy anything.

Of course it s worth a try

i don t trust ebay, myself

I had a small business with my brother a few years back. It was hard to determine who the boss was as my brother had me acting as CEO while he was working for an insurance agency. I put a great deal of time and effort and ran the business without a hitch until Christmas time came around and he wanted me to have the company give him 500 dollars. Without working one day at the office he wanted or more correctly demanded 500 dollars. I was shocked he did what he did. Needless to say when you are up against my brother, he is able to lie and cheat his way to get his way. The whole point of this story is..don t do business with family. If it is your idea and your capital that is being used, then you call all the shots. If it fails then you have no one to blame but yourself. I wish our business would have been successful but with greed comes envy. I wish my brother had the sense God gave him to be a successful businessman but all he can ever be is a subordinate. He is determined to work for someone else for the rest of his life. That s all he can do! I wish him the best.

Looking for funding to start up a new business in the South West of England. Where do I begin? -

I m a young man interested in getting into my own business as soon as possible. I have a great idea i know will do well and an available premises. However, I can t help but feel that because of my age i will struggle to find anyone willing to invest as much money as I think I will need. Does anyone have any advice on the best place other than a bank to seek potential investment?

Sometimes Prince Charles charity, the Prince s Trust will help. Prince Charles has a lot of his estate in Devon and Cornwall, so has an interest in the Westcountry. I don t know if investment is made, or whether they just give help in starting up.

Speak to your local Business Link. They re very good on sources of funding, including ones specifically for young people in business. You ll need a sound business plan before you apply for funds from anyone. Business Link can help you with this, too.Good luck!

It really depends on how much money you have yourself, to put into the business,as no lender will risk their money, if you won t risk your ownMy son started his own business when he was 24, but he d already saved ��6,000and the bank helped with the rest that he needed

its hard enough to keep businesses open here in the south west as it is without trying to start up something new. 3 factorys have closed in last 2 years where i live losing 400 jobs. maybe u should try internet shop first

What kind of things does a receptionist do? -

Is it a hard job? Does it pay well?

its basically just a more politically correct word for secretary. they do things like:-answer the phone-transfer calls-call people to set up phone or in person meetings-take messages-keep schedules and appointments organized-work on the computer-file papers-fax documents-greet people that come in and tell them how to get to the correct room etc....i had a summer job as a receptionist and it was hard at first but once i got used to everything it became easier but it is still stressful cuz you don t want to screw anything up.the pay is usually not much more than minimum wage but it depends on if you are in a public or private company.

I wouldn t say that it is hard. Answer phones usually multi-line phone, transfer calls correctly take messages, greet customers, bring coffee or what ever is needed, make appointments. The pay depends on what the company is and what state you are in.

Even more important! You can now transfer money from your PayPal account to any of your bank account in India directly from the PayPal website. PayPal has also scrapped the withdrawal fees for electronic transfer if the amount withdrawn is more that Rs 7000 and a nominal Rs 50 for small transfers. Earlier PayPal would charge $5 per transaction irrespective of the amount on the cheque.

How can I manage someone out when they are not qualified for the position and actually doubling your workload? -

Our Department is only three people and I am in the middle of the hierarchy, My boss promised me we would discipline her today - 2 weeks ago. And he keeps avoiding the situation. He told me not to let up on her errors and to follow up on everything. So how can I help her help herself and the company and move along....

Have you taken the time to ask her if she needs training on the equipment or help performing her duties? Find out where she is making mistakes and show her how to avoid the problems. I know this will cut into the time you have to perform your duties, but it will speed up the overall speed in the department. This type of solution may even improve your chances for promotion.If she is unwilling to learn how to do the job, she should be removed from the situation. If you are in an At Will state, the boss can fire her without grounds. This might sound harsh, but in the long run, it could be best for all parties involved.

It s heartless, but you work in a business, not in a halfway home.The best wake-up call to her would be a dismissal.Until then, observe and report.

Tips for starting a cleaning business? -

I m currently working on a business plan for residential cleaning service and would like any ideas or tips on the industry on how to get started. I m going to have a home based office and start with two employees myself and my mother. The name of the company is CRYSTAL CLEAN. I m having trouble coming up with a logo. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

you could try to use cooltext.com to create a logo.you could also make business cards vistaprint.com (i think that is the name. also, give you like 250 free cards).you could go with a retro design and a sparkle shining off your name. might check with your local SCORE office. they can help you set up your business plan, marketing, bookkeeping etc.you might offer a green service package with environmentally friendly cleaning products.you could get your local newspaper to run an article about opening your business. also advertise at local events around your town. you could also provide a discount for new customers. they will hopefully tell everyone how good of a job you did. word of mouth is the best form of advertising and it is free

advertise.

Is it legal to start a graphic design name and freelance? -

Here s the thing, I m an architecture student, and I want to start a graphic design company just my self, and offer design services, if someone needs something, I ll design it for him and he ll pay me for it.NOW the question: do I need a license and have to register my company? and do I have to pay taxes? I m going to advertise all over the place. but its only me, and a company is just metaphoric I don t even have an office (my computer is my office) so I m practically doing gigs all around...thanks for the interest :D

I don t think you would have to get a DBA License in your town unless you wanted it to get the free publicity in the phone book.You would need to pay income taxes at the end of the year but you could write off expenses such as computer, advertising, software, etc.If you build a website for a business, they will use it as a deduction so if you do not turn your income in, the IRS will know it.Good Luck!

Does anyone know if Target buys products at a store level...? -

...or must it go through the home office and buyers? Also, if anyone has any tips on how to get a product into stores, rather than jus selling online, I would really appreciate it!

Do you know of anyplace or website that can provide me with such services?

Govt. Grants where do i find them? -

I would like to find a small business grant but im not sure what websites to trust. Can anyone recommend a site you used for any grants? Thanks.

Contrary to popular belief, the government almost never gives out grants to small businesses. The $100 gazillion dollars in gov t grants to businesses each year you hear about on infomercials are actually given to large companies for research and development (say, of a cancer drug).Grants.gov is the government s grant website, and is the ONLY legitimate source on the federal level. For state level (some states offer grants to farms and for green businesses), try searching for grants on your state s department of revenue site, or the secretary of states office.If you want small business loans, there is the Small Business Administration (SBA.gov). You can also get counseling at S.C.O.R.E which is a group of retired business people that counsel new business owners.AccionUSA (Kiva) is also a good source for small business loans.

Do most jobs let some employees work once a week? -

i am searching for a job and i am 15. i have currently not had a job before but i am wondering if i wanted to only work friday evening. do you think i would be allowed? or you have to work a certain number of hours and days every week? do most jobs let some employees work once a week?

You could try Wendy s. I worked there as a teenager and I had a very flexible schedule. Your first week or so you may need to work a few days for training. I am not sure about other jobs but that was the most flexible job I ever had. Maybe other fast food places are like that also.

What is a good, legit home startup business? -

I would like to start a lucrative business from home. I have wracked my brain for a year, just nothing comes to mind. My main skills are: graphic designer (degreed), I am a wildlife artist, photographer, and work as a website design consultant. I am very good at logos, but it just seems all my skill sets are in a flooded market. I would love to do something different, and not join a pyramid scheme. I just want to find a good, honest job I can do that I can put sweat equity into. I went through a divorce and not in a great financial position. :( I am quite creative in the arts, but am very happy to go outside of my skills. My strengths, people skills, very computer savvy, fun person. Weaknesses, to be completely honest, organization. :o)

As a professional coach I m going out on a limb to tell you you re approaching this from the wrong perspective I m afraid. It s kind of like choosing a career just because it pays well. Do you want to enjoy what you do 1, 5 or 20 years from now?You re correct in looking at the skills you have but that in itself isn t enough. Just because you can drive a car doesn t mean you should be a bus driver.The areas you need to combine if you want to do something you love are:1) skills and abilities, 2) personality traits, 3) values, dreams and passions.

Have you tried free lancing?http://www.getafreelancer.com/

I was the same way trying to figure out how I could make money. I think your in a better situation. You have so much talent. The way I make money is by doing niche websites. Websites on things that has something to do with my passion. I found SBI and they taught me everything I needed to know about the business of websites. They supply you with the knowledge and tools to make money. You will make money off of it, if you do what they say. A lot of people think that you can just put a site up and your good. It does take work, but you get what you pay for. It is no get rich quick scheme. SBI was a dream come true. The only thing that I hate about it was the lack of templates, but they are working on that. With your background, it will be a breeze. You do have to put in some work as far as writing content, but it will all pay off. Its totally your business. My website is one month old. I put a ton of work into it.Check out my website. http://www.avon-representatives.com/legitimateworkfromhome.html read my true story if you want or skip it and go straight down to the SBI link. P.S.

Is it safe for me to leave negative feedback for a seller on Ebay? -

I bought a guitar from ebay US which was advertised as brand new. It arrived and it said used on the box. The guitar was obviously in used condition as well. I figured it must have just been a mistake, but the seller has ignored every message I ve sent. The seller has already left me positive feedback. If I leave him negative feedback, is he able to somehow leave me negative feedback in retaliation even though he has already given me positive feedback?

What an ***. I d give him negative feedback, and report him as well.

With current eBay Rules (I am a seller so I should know), the seller CANNOT give any negative feedback. I/They can choose to not give any feedback, or just give positive feedback. There is no way for him or her to change or retract their feedback, they can however post a response to negative feedback explaining themselves (its usually present under your negative feedback, and does not in anyway harm your feedback score). However, in your situation. I would recommend emailing eBay, and notifying them of your problem. Sellers are responsible for accurately listing the items they sell, and through eBay (which also runs and owns PayPal) you can file a complaint/claim, and you can (and should) get your money back, as well as leave negative feedback).

Start a dispute for SNAD (Significantly Not As Described). They will have you return the item and the seller will be forced to give you your money back. I would give him the benefit of the doubt to start off with. Maybe he didn t answer your emails because of an emergency. How long has it been? Check their feedback and see if he s left any for other customers over the last few days. That will tell you if he s been on his account and is ignoring your emails. Let the dispute run and then decide what feedback you feel is appropriate. I think I would agree with the negative, but take care of it first.

Ask ebay for his telephone number (cant remember where the link is )No he cant change his feedback but could put a follow up comment.If it is derogatory you can ask ebay to remove it-they will.If you dont want the guitar do a dispute SNAD (significantly not as described) that should wake him up-you will get a refund Send back trackable

You cannot change feedback unless it is requested to be changed.

no, give him negative feedback and contact paypal to get your money backyou got scammed

Owner is letting a valuable small business go to waste... anything can be done? -

I know someone who works for a small tech company that has developed a very valuable technology. The company has a patent and at least a 2 year lead on any possible competition, with a huge potential market. I d say its worth $10-15 million if it were to be bought by a large company or competitor and exploited to its full potential. They only have a few employees and maybe $1 mil annual gross profit and almost no liquid assets.The problem is that the owner is old, set in his ways and not very tech savvy. He is letting the technology go to waste by poor marketing, an outdated business model, rudely dismissing away any potential allies or partners, etc. His ambition seems to be to suck the company dry of what little value it currently holds without any ambition to capitalize on its huge potential.The young employees are full of energy and highly skilled in a very specialized field, and they are convinced that they could do much better given the chance, but even if they pool all their resources, they don t have the capital needed to buy the owner out.What, if anything, can be done?

Go to an Angel investor for the rest of the money that s needed to buy out the owner.Or, try and borrow what ever you need using the combined collateral of everyone who is interested.

Sell your Gran on ebay!

I have the exact same problem but I m 15! I do housework for my grandad every fortnight. It brings a few pennies in. Try asking family and neighbours if they want their car washing for a fiver. You could sell some bits that you don t want at a car boot sale...good luck!

Everyday, knock on your neighbours doors asking for odd jobs. By returning each day, they have a chance to think about it. Good luck.

I want to start a Design company. Do I need a license or permit (I live in iowa) how much are they? -

I wanted to start a web design company which does, logos, banners, some coding work and wanted to know If I needed to get a business license to do this? And is there anything else I need to obtain or fill out to do this aswell? If so where can I download them or get them from?

No, it doesn t appear that you need to obtain a license or a permit if you re the only employee because your business would be considered a sole proprietorship. In the state of Iowa there are no statues governing the formation of a sole proprietorship (http://www.sos.state.ia.us). Of course, any money you do receive from your business must be reported in your income tax return.If you plan on growing your business in the future by hiring others, then you would need to obtain a business license (https://blic.iowa.gov) and also apply for a state employer identification number.Hopefully some of this information was helpful to you. Good luck with your business!

You need to go to college to learn to start Marketing and run a business.Im not sure about a permit but you do need to go to college/University.I hope I helped a bit.

idk about that but i wish you luck and may you succeed in what your doing

Am opening a new company that will run restaurant and coffee shop business need a nice name? -

Never pick a name for your business that doesn t say what you will do for the client. The Rain Forest is a nice name, but already exits (http://www.rainforestcafe.com/). In addition, it says nothing ABOUT your business. I know of a company which named itself Sylvia Beach and Company . AT first I thought it was a CPA or maybe an Advertising company. No, it was a BOOK STORE AND TOBACCO SHOP. (WTF? is what I thought) Apparently, the owner chose the name from an obscure poem about going to Sylvia Beach to read and smoke a pipe . Can you guess how long it took them to close? If by your description, you are going to open a restaurant or Coffee shop, choose a name which states the product - or rather what you are going to do for the customer . Mr. Beans Coffee shop , C.B. Roasters Coffee and Sandwich Shop or even use a location type name such as East End Coffee Shop , Downtown Coffee Stop In each of these names, you tell the customer what you are going to do for them as well as where you are. Very important in starting a small business. EAch time the name is uttered, you get a flavor of what type of business AND where to find it. I hope this has been helpful in choosing a good name.

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!Best of luck with your new businessRebecca :)

....you have to think of all the aspects of the situation my man...look:1.)location... If i was in a place like seattle, or any west coast city I would go with something like Earth ..could have some pretty interesting interior designs with that, and you could keep yourself somewhat green for the earth itself. east coast, depending on north or south, you would have to look at your surroundings, who are you attracting. how will you market it, and advertise.but my overall name of a coffeshop is the rain forest ....ultimate spot to relax and drink coffee..Real tree s, water features, comfy chairs and low tables. wifi, outlets.could be epic.think about it, your patrons... meet me at the rainforest for a coffee dude no doubt, we shoud smoke first

I would like to work on my pc from home, how do I get an online job.? -

I would like to have an online job, but I can t seem to find website to help me. Can anyone tell me how I can get an online job?

You need to send your resume out to real jobs you are qualified to do. In your cover letter you need to state that you wish to work remotely, from your home office. LOTS of companies, especially in CA operate this way. They usually provide transportation for you to come in for an interview and for you to attend company meetings a few times a year, but otherwise everything is done online.

Hi all. Im 22 and I would like to start my own business. Maybe selling on ebay or my own website. Any advice? -

I m looking for how tos...success stories...critical criticism..basically anything...I m all ears. :-)

To me, it sounds like you aren t sure what you want to do just yet. Are you passionate about shoes? What are you passionate about?If these are questions are cannot answer yourself, my advice is to speak with a wealth building consultant. They can help you find your passion, and a direction. Most wealth building consultants can also provide you detailed business solutions once you have your passion, to make starting your business a breeze.If you d like to speak to me about this more feel free to email me at dgiardino@webmonkeymedia.com.

The market seems flooded with people hoping to make big bucks on eBay, so competition is going to be tough. If you find the right products to sell, and can market them well, you can make some money-just don t expect to make a huge profit.Your own website might work better, provided you can get people to notice your site. Figure out how to do that and you can forget selling the products; selling your secret to others will get you more money.

Do you want to sell a Premium Quality product and keep 100% of the profits ? Go to www.elitesoftware.ws, scroll down to the end of the page and click on the picture that says, Software, and it will lead you to the information page. You will discover a great opportunity to make money. You will need a strong commitment to yourself (to your success) but if you are determined, you will generate a Lucrative Income from home. Success awaits you, George

Hag,How about affiliate marketing? That means you can sell anything. You dont have to inventory it, prebuy it, ship it or handle the product in any way.You just choose items you think are interesting and lead people to them.To do this, you must have your own hosted website. it will cost about $40. for a year. This gives you all the tools you need.To get your products, apply to www.cj.com, www.clickbank.com, and www.shareasale.comThis will give you lots of products and services you can sell. You will need your own website to promote these items.Good Luck

Kill the shoe idea, unless you really don t want to make money just looking for experience in customer service. Here is your future of you do not.............1. To carry a single shoe style you need sizes and colors. So lets say you buy a black pump in a size 5, then 5.5. 6. 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8 and now you buy 1 pair of each in the red and one in the white. So far you have bought 21 pairs of shoes and you only have one style to put on your web site. Since you only have 1 black in a size 5, what if you sell another? Now you have to buy multiple of the same sizes/colors so you have bought 42 pairs of shoes, but still only have 1 style on your site.Oh not a problem cuz you can get them one pair at a time? Ok well it gets worse... I buy a pair from you for my friends wedding. I am never gonna wear these again, so after I wear them, I return them get my money back? Oh these do not look like the picture on your site. After seeing them, they look cheap, I want a refund. I wear a size 12 but a 12 does not fit me in your shoes. As you can see there are a million reasons on why people will want a refund.Before you do anything else, think of products that have a very low return/exchange rate, then come back be all ears again. You will kill yourself with CS duties, dead overhead, and a million other things if you do not.

Research, research, research.Identify your competitors, make sure your shoes are better quality, more fashionable and a good price particularly when you are just starting out.Think of at least seven reasons why a customer might buy from your store/site, i.e. free delivery, free gift wrapping, free shoe size gauge with every order.....Best selling headlines :TRY, FREE, BEST, SPEEDY, LATEST, VALUE, QUALITYDon t forget to plan for the next sale. Pop in a discount coupon for the next purchase, get your customers to buy again, say, within 6 weeks.Team up with another successful web trader to help promote your shoes to his customers, i.e. speak to a lingerie business or fashion house....

Ebay Question: How can I relist an Item that hasnt been paid for without a fee.? -

Well you see a immature kid bought my item for fun (he made a fake account and bought it) and decided not to buy it anymore so my question is how do I relist it without having to pay a fee since it wasn t my fault. I already gave him a strike. Do I have to contact ebay?(give me the web address)

File the auction as unpaid dispute. You have to wait 7 days before it will allow you to. Then, Ebay will reverse the fees associated with the auction.

File at 4 days for unpaid item dispute. Escalate at 8 days to get your FVF back.See eBay site map.

Kid business, is it possible for a kid to own a business.? -

I am a kid of 13 years of age, soon to be 14. Currently my life is boring, so I thought of creating an online business. I have contacted many people whom have helped me organize this business, and have given me tips on ways to improve it. However, I am still unsure on whether it is a good idea for a kid to start a business.

Unfortunately, as you are below the age of consent and can t enter into a legally biding agreement, most companies would be wary of doing business with you. But, that s not to say you can t do it (especially if you have the backing of your parents and they re willing for you to use their names)

How to figure profit percentage? -

So I am selling some stuff on ebay and such sites.example;cost for items - 10.00number of items - 24resale - 1.00 each X 24 items = 24.00profit = 14.00_____% profithow do I figure this up?

14/10 = 1.4 = 140% profit

In retail your selling price is 100% and all costs and profits should be expressed as a percentage of your selling price.In your case your cost of goods sold is $10.00 which is 41.67% of $24.00 and your gross profit is $14.00 which is 58.33% of $24.00You will have to subtract your expenses from the $14.00 gross profit in order to determine your net profit before taxes.Hope this helpsJerry-the-bookkeeper
