Novelists Only, Can you use real company, studio-es, and organizations names in novels? -

In my novel I want to use real car companies and real university names. Without getting suedThere is miss spelling in my question due to me rushing to do something else.

You can. Unless and until it maligns or defame them. It is better to get the approval from the authorities concerned, for we won t face any problem, at the time of publication or after the release of the novel.mmmmm......Which country are you from? May be it differ in your country.

Generally, it is not a good idea to use real company names. You very well may have no problem from the company, but if they do complain, you may have to pull all the books off the market or get sued.Universities are a little different, but whether you could use their name depends on the situation, how you portray the school and so forth.

How do i make some money? Im 12? -

Im 12 years old and i need to know how to make some cash. not lemonade stand.

You can do house cleaning for your parents or neighbors. You can babysit kids if the parents feel confident in trusting you. You can get a paper route.All other legally allowed work is tightly controled by labor laws.

Depends on the part of the country. I d say cut grass or shovel snow. you can also walk neighbor s pets, perhaps.

You could try a completely free home based online business.

I want to charge people for my knit hats. How can I do this without being rude or pushy? -

Also I noticed my sisters boyfriend always wears beanie hats like I knit so I asked him if he wanted to buy one for 10 dollars and he said yes. My parents said that it would be rude to charge him money for it. But it takes me a lot of time, and I have to by the yarn! Plus she has only been dating him like 2 weeks. I thought about advertising on Facebook but my boyfriend told me he thinks it s a bad idea, because people could steal my idea and try to charge for knitting hats. HELP?? How should I advertise? Is it wrong to charge my sisters boyfriend of 2 weeks for a hat?

you did nothing wrong - he could have said no - but he said yes do all these idiots in your life think all knit hats in the world are free??? they probably all have no problem paying $10 for a machine made hat at Walmarts, why should they object to paying for a handmade one.you aren t exactly making a fortune for them - probably $1-2 an hr at the most after your yarn coststell them to shut up, you are making legal money in a tough economy - they should be happy for if you can sell anywhen I was a kid in the 60 s - my mother hand-knit Barbie clothes for my sister s Barbies and then sold a bunch too

You should try to sell some of your hand-made creations on etsy.com it is a place where people sell hand-crafted items online. You can even check out similar items on etsy to inspire yourself! You can advertise by paying for an online ad or just by word-of-mouth.I don t think it is wrong to be charging your sister s boyfriend for the hat because it costs you money and time to make the hat. This is your artwork. And if you say that you are planning to eventually sell the hats as a business, I m sure he would be supportive. You can even ask him to promote you.

How do you start a store on amazon? -

Just looking for a good basic outline of the process in general, but any additional advice would be graciously appreciated, :)

Perhaps you could first work on your online etiquette, seeing as all of your answers are rude and troll-like.

What is the standard commission for an agency agreement? -

I have been offered 4% commission on net sales of a specific product, is this standard or should I ask for a higher commission

Totally depends on what you re selling. In advertising, agencies typically make 15 to 20%. In retail stores, sometimes it s 2%. If you re looking to be a product rep, I d look for more toward 10% than 4%. But also if there s any sort of base pay involved than expect your commission to be lower.

How much would you pay in labor for contracting work? -

I am asking my brother and a friend to build and drywall a wall to separate my unfinished basement in half. We are estimating about 400 in materials. How much would you pay for labor each?

All bid jobs are based on the workers base hourly wage - so if you want to know how much something will cost - just get a few estimates from local handymen. You just ask them how long it will take them and how much they want to bid on the job. You just state before they come - that you have already purchased the materials. We can t tell you without #1) how much drywall and dimensions of the wall. How much framing is required, or what the local conditions are - wet weather, dry weather - small town - large city - too many factors for us to just guess! Here in L.A., you can get work done for between 25.00 45.00 per hour.
