Is my business allowed to use the same name as a nationally known business in a different industry? -

Say I want to name my business Jupiter Computer Repair but there s already a national brand of shampoo called Jupiter. Is it legal for me to use the name Jupiter since we re in completely different industries?

Yes. And I doubt the name Jupiter is (and I doubt can be) trademarked. And no one would confuse your business with a shampoo company. If they do, well, they are just stoooopid.

What are some sites where i can apply for legitimate at home jobs in telemarketing, transcription, etc.? -

I work full time during the day as a medical transcriptionist and I want to get a part time at home job to make some extra money. What are some legitimate sites for telemarketing, customer service, transcription, etc. Entry level mostly. No spamming or advertisements!

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.

You are asking specifically for websites that have home jobs?The website below has a home based career center where there are lots of jobs -- some are in-house, some are remote. Since you are already a transcriptionist, you will especially find it helpful, because there are TONS of remote transcription jobs.

I use many different method to work at home , but nothing worked untill I got this amazing method. It works just amazing and I create fast money after I got correct method. If you are serious and really want to make money online you should check this out. You can find info at link below.

none; not via the internet;if you are good at these things, check with your state employment services office.i presume you type 55 + wpm and have excellent spelling abilities.

Bought an item outside of ebay but using paypal..? -

I bought something from private seller and paid him on paypal. He gave me a delivery confirmation, and when the package came the quality is not what I expect. Is it possible to file a refund/ dispute????

You should discuss the matter w/ the seller 1st.

hey listen, if your going to file a dispute, you better do it really really fast...because if you dont, you are not protected by paypal and if the buyer decides to take the cash and run , he will be able to unless they can pull it out of his bank account.If your lucky, you maybe able to, but you never know.File a dispute now, and they ll give you whatever money he has on him right now

Some box question i am not sure of gt;-lt;? -

Need advice on how a 50% partnership / buy in on a business would work? -

Hi there,I am in the process of trying to sell my online web design business. I have been approached w/ many different proposals but this one has me liking it. I will be able to stay on with the business while getting help with it at the same time to grow it. - my main reason for selling is that I don t have the time anymore.How does a 50% partnership on a business work? (specifically that of an online business). Net revenue was $54,000 last year and I have heard responses from people that because I am the business, they are not sure revenue can sustain at that rate. Does the person who wants 50% buy into the business for one lump sum? How is this sum calculated? Is it paid out annually or just once?This is how it was worded to me:They would buy an agreed percentage of the business based on expected PROFITbased on past trends of monthly income. The revenue for each job would besplit 3 ways - 1. The Admin side of the job, dealing with clientcommunications etc. (15%), 2. The design/development work (60%), 3. Profit(25%).Example: If we were 50% partners and we got 3 jobs in one month totaling$4.5k. If I were busy with the family but still had a bit of time to dealwith the admin side of the 3 jobs but not do the actual jobs and they didthese. The breakdown would be...Me (CURRENT OWNER): $675 (15% of the total for admin work) + $562.50 (50% of the profit)= $1237.50Them (PROSPECTIVE BUYER): $2700 (60% for design work) + $562.50 (50% of the profit) = $3262.50The benefits of this are that there is guaranteed income from the profitbased on your percentage stake in the business as well as being rewardedfor the amount of time you can invest (Salary). All the percentages etc.can be changed to something both parties agree on.How would the total buy in be calculated? I m pretty confused as to how this whole thing works.What kind of contract would be needed? Lawyer? THANKYOU in advance!

YOU IDIOT, why are you asking kids about this. Half of everyone on here can t spell, let alone talk about business.

When they say that they want to buy in with a lump sum that means they will make one payment for 50% of the company. If i were you i would ask myself, 1. Will this new partnership increase sales revenue? You dont want to do business with a company that will only hurt you in the long run, even if the offer is very appealing. 2. Are they offering you enough money? They said it themselves they need you to keep working because they dont think the business will do as well without you. so if you grossed 54,000 and they are buying into you... i wouldnt take less than 50,000 for the company. You would definitely need to hire a lawyer to peruse through the contract and point out any loopholes because im sure there are. Best of luck to you and your business!

How to view Page views ( eBay Auction Views ) without visiting auction every time? -

In eBay, How to know the viewers of the auction once i go to my eBay How to be able to view all auction viewers numbers without each time clicking the auction and view it inside auction ?

On ebay there is no way to do that. I m pretty sure you can do it on Auctiva though.

Actually you can do this. In My Ebay, instead of going to All Selling go to Active Selling and it will give you page views for all of your items. There s even a views refresh button. I only responded to this because I had this same question and had to figure it out for myself after going nuts! Report Abuse

Money for business venture? -

I own my home but not much equity left in it after the deposit (damn recession) I need to raise a few thousand to start a business. I am considering a partner but I still need to put in a share. Any ideas where to go for money? Any alternative sources? all suggestions welcome. TIA

You could try taking your business plan to the bank and asking. But even so they would still want to see you putting in a contribution of you own money.If you borrow off market the interest charges will be horrendous.Have you any family that are prepared to take the risk with you. If you are really keen and positive it will be a success then you do have the option of selling it to raise whatever small amount is there. That will show real commitment and that bank may then help you.

You can try http://discountbusinessassociation.com/R�� There are lots of resources for small businesses.

Costumer cancel contract after 2 months? 10 points for best answer!!!!? -

My Mom and Dad own a small plumbing company ,they have a costumer that approved and signed work that needs to be done for a restaurant,he gave a deposit that way my dad can purchase material after everything was agreed (he changed his mind many times of what he wants) 2months later he decided he didn t want any work to be done and he wants his money back (the deposit to be returned) which is ok we told him we have to deduct about 5% because my dad already purchased material and he took time to travel to his location several times,The customer is now harassing over the phone and he wrote harassing letters we explain him we will take care of it ,but he wants the full amount back after he back up from a contract what can my mom and dad do?

Well hopefully you had something in the contract that included a penalty for backing out of the contract. If you did not, or if the contract specified that you would give a full refund on cancellation, then you are pretty much screwed. Either way, if you ask for the 5%, you are going to have a really angry customer. If you have it in writing, at least you will have the contractual authority to do it though. If you do not, you might just have to eat the cost and try to recover some of the price of the material.

I agree with Christian Brown. If there is a clause in the contract governing the cancellation or early termination of the contract, then you are okay. If not (put one in for future cases), them you may own the customer a full refund.

this is why your mom and dad should have the customer sign a contract with your mom and dad before anything is done. if you don t do it this way then things like this will happen, you might want to tell your parents to seek legal counsel to solve this problem. I know of a company that will help you in this situation. i can give you the details but not here. I don;t want to be accused of violating yahoo s answer policies./ but you can connect to me at jim_tru@yahoo.com this 37 yr old company is amazing and has solved alot of problems like yours./ but it is up to you

Im 15 about to be 16 and need a job ASAP, any suggestions? -

Hi, I am 15 about to be 16 next month. I need a job ASAP but really don t want to work at McDonald s, Everyone has been telling me that that s the only job I ll be able to get.I m in 11th grade but am home schooled so I can work whenever, work around their schedules.Any help?

Nothing wrong with McDonald s. It s a well thought of reference to have on your resume. It s not like you have to work there for life either :) Just think of it as a stepping stone. You ll get a fairly good range of skills from working in that environment.

You should have a look this method that I did. It works fast for me and I make good income every months. You can find more info from link below.

Car Wash business,questions? -

Ok im 19 and a student and i want to start small car wash business. My approach is unique, im going to bill customers monthly, 50$ and i will wash their car once a week. Including a car wash, with detail, vacuum and leather treatment. My questions are, do you think using their water hose and electricity will work? Also, how should I bill them? because they might not want to pay the 50 up front, and if I wait a month they might scam ME.

Always have them pay you after the detail is done or your gonna spend half your time chasing down and collecting payment if they even pay. And $50 for 4 wash/details per month?? Are you sure you don t mean $50 per wash? That s a more realistic number for a basic exterior wash/dry and a basic wipe down of interior and vacuum. Their water and electricity will work for you if you explain that to them up front. Or you could do what I do and use a No Rinse wash. Takes me 2 gallons of water to do entire vehicle. I just go to the store and buy 2 gallons of distilled water and use that. Also, letting them know you would only wash their vehicle with distilled water to prevent water spots makes you stand out. Just explain you will need an outlet to run your wet vac and ask them if that would be a problem. I ve never had a customer say no. Don t let that stop you from starting your business.If you have any questions or would like to know what products I use send me a message. Good luck to you.

No, using their stuff won t work. Not all would have outlets where it would be convenient for you. You d be better off investing in a pickup truck with water tank and a generator. THEN you run into the problem of the gray water discharge, as a lot of communities now have BIG concerns regarding the dirty water runoff into regular storm drains. As for your billing... You bill them PER WASH, but with a monthly discount of say, 10% (i.e. buy X washes now and get 10% off)And you are seriously undercharging, IMHO. Even running a car through the gas station wash is like 5-10. A premium car wash where you get the vacuum and hand-dry is $20. And there are at least 4 weeks per month. $50 a month is WAY TOO CHEAP. Another possibility: basic car wash package, premium car wash package, full detailing. $50 gets 3 basic washes (once per week) and 1 premium wash. You can give coupons for discounts on other packages or services. You will need insurance... in case of accidents and damages to customer vehicles, and some locations, such as company parking lots, may not allow you to wash there. Keep that in mind.

While your approach is unique to car washing, it s a pretty common business model for pool boys and lawn care type businesses. Try talking to some local lawn mowing or pool cleaning business owners in your community. They may have some type of contract, form, etc.

Can A Minor shop on Ebay? -

I am sixteen and I live in Canada. I love to shop online at places like ebay. Everytime I want something it asks for a credit card. Is there any type of credit card or any card that will allow me to shop online. I have full parental permission.

Go buy one of those Visa gift cardshttp://usa.visa.com/personal/cards/prepa��

It s best to set up a PayPal account along with an eBay account. EBay owns paypal, so they re basically the same company.IF you don t have a paypal account, it will be a little harder to buy some things on ebay, because many sellers require the buyer to have a paypal account. But you really don t need paypal, but you DO need a credit card regardless. And to set up PayPal, you will also need a bank account.If i were you , i would get a prepaid visa gift card thing, skip the whole paypal thing, and try it that way.

yeaaaaaaaa anyone can go buy everything gurl :D

You can shop online with any credit or debit card. The merchant or seller does not care how old you are.

ask your parents to use their credit card. or buy a prepaid visa card

not unless your parents let you use there credit card. You need to be 18

I really need Names for a Dog bussiness? -

I am doing a dog bussiness and we make dog toys and dog beds and treats I need names i was wondering if we could include the word puppy or something like that. And i was wondering if you would be interested buying that because i don t know if i should even start it

Yes you should start. You never know until you try. Like Michael Dell, he was afraid to copy HP in making computers. But he did it anyways and now is one of the richest people in the world by copying HP business and started making computers. Then others copied too. But besides the point just try the business and people will buy with the right advertising. And I would name your dog business Puppy s best buy. Its a stupid name I know.

I suggest you to try project payday, simply because you don t need any money up front and you can start making money within minutes. I average around 3,500 dollars every month with it. Check it out at: http://tr.im/propayday http://tr.im/propayday

hows puppy stuff or doggy essentials

like dog express

how about Puffy Stuff yeah, I think that s it!

How can you check and see if an online business is real? (WADDELL FARMHOUSE)? -

I found a online company that has a large selection of garden seed at lower prices than our local farmer s market, but was wary of giving my credit card info. Has anyone ever heard or bought from the Waddell Farmhouse?

I have used this company many times and have been very pleased. They always call when they receive my order and also when they mail it. After you make your first order everything is 5% off and make sure you find a free shipping coupon that will save you even more. I live in Texas and they ship from Florida so the turnaround has averaged about 12 days.

Check them out on better business bureau. Make sure they are a legitimate company and whether or not they have any customer complaints.A great deal of companies now offer payments through PayPal as well. A benefit to paying it through PayPal is they don t actually get any credit card info from you. You just authorize a one time transfer through PayPal. Plus, PayPal does offer services for you to get a refund if you are unhappy with the product or don t receive it.

Most of it comes from word of mouth and checking like you are doing. You can also check Dave s Garden Watchdog. I do know this is a good company and I have ordered from them. They are a very small seed company compared to others on the web. Buy small first and see how your experience is.

You re far better off using just a credit card than Paypal. Your credit card offers you far more protection from fraud and poor merchandise than Paypal.

I wouldn t take my chances with these little companies, you will be better off going to big companies like Harris Seeds, Park s Seeds or Burpee then you won t have to worry.

When do you think we should start outsourcing teachers? -

Have they become so expensive that we need to consider less costly alternatives?

Teachers are expensive ? I wonder what world you re living on. Teachers are one of the least paid / hardest working people around, and so critical to our future I wonder why they aren t being paid MORE so more people would go into the field. American Federation of Teachers (AFT) says in 2006-7 average teacher is being paid $51009. That s before the crisis . That s about on par with a decent executive assistant s salary, a job with far less scrutiny by a TON of people, from school to government to parents, and far less off-job hours (homework grading, etc.).

Hey why not start outsourcing students.

What is the best Phone service for my Business, I make Long distance calls? -

I need to make out bound phone calls, I will need an 800 number a good Carrier, I will for sure be making a lot of long distance calls. What s the best? Magic Jack? vonage? Pros Cons?And what about 800 number carriers? thanks!

I personally recommend Nextiva or Packet8 for personal and small business VOIP. Both offer reasonable fees, and good quality VOIP services. You will need a broadband connection, but generally your total fees even with an 800 number are included in a flat rate.

I would recommend using a service like Grasshopper, Virtual PBX or OneBox. These types of services are designed for small businesses and are relatively cheap (starting around $10 a month). You can get an 800 number, a certain number of minutes and pretty cool features like call forwarding, custom greetings and voicemail extensions if you add employees. Plus you wouldn t have to worry about long distance charges.

any regular phone account set us as a BUSINESS account is going to be infinitely more expensive than a residential line - you pretty much have to pay by the minute and with 800 # s you pay by the minute for all INCOMING callsmagicjack required a broadband internet connection to work - not sure if - domestic long distance is free - I doubt you can connect an 800 # to it though

Can you tell me a little about SAP Business One? -

My company is switching to this system, and I don t know anything about it.

The SAP Business One application integrates all core business functions across your entire company �C including financials, sales, customer relationship management, inventory, and operations. Unlike many other small business solutions on the market today, SAP Business One is a single application, eliminating the need for separate installations and complex integration of multiple modules.SAP is the largest ERP (enterprise resource planning) package in the market place.The project will be long, stressful, and there will be problems and lots of over time. Example of a SAP project gone really really bad would be the Hershey SAP project, it caused a major miss in shipping their products for the 1999 Halloween season. Most projects work out but there will be growing pains with any new major system.Learn all you can, this will be a major resume plus for you as just about all major company s use SAP.Who is doing the implementation???

19 and starting my first business, can anyone help?!?!?!? -

so i want to start a painting company. im in the process of applying for my business license. i have about $10,000 dollars to play with. can anybody give me advice on how to budget my money, any tips anything would help. i especially am unsure about advertising. how much do i spend? where do i advertise and how?i was also wondering if anyone knows how i price my services? i ve tried making formulas for this, but i figure why reinvent the wheel right?any information would help!!!!!thank you!

i can help...... i have had several businesses, including my current one which is a several million dollar company...I really don t want to write everything here though.. Find me...

i think you should advertise.your business will then be popular. and then maybe even make it big.Me and my best friend have started our own designing business. We are designing clothes.we spent $1000 dollars on advertising. and so far we have been very successful.we ve made about 11,000 dollars. So the 1000 was nothing now that we ve made it big!!!good luck in the future

go with the yellow pages choose a small ad. then go to a collage andspeak to the economic department.

I don t get you are committed. I would say work for someone else in the industry for awhile.

Invest it. :D

You want to be ready to paint a house before you open and make yourself available. Have an idea of your biggest/smallest job, and know all that you will need--equipment, brushes, drop clothes, whatever. You might not actually buy some of these things until you need them.You can advertise free in Craigslist, sometimes supermarkets have bulletin boards, there are shopping newspapers full of ads that you could advertise in. You can drive around neighborhoods and put flyers in the doors of houses that look like they need painting. Don t spend a lot of money at first, try this and that and see what works for you, then put your money there.Your best advertising, and the cheapest, is word of mouth. Satisfied customers will recommend you. So, especially at first, you want to make an extra effort to make them happy, even if it means spending a little more time than you estimated.Your rates. Well I d guess you ve done this enough that you could look at a house and estimate about what it would cost to have it painted by someone else, some big, established outfit. You can probably do it cheaper, and the lower price is also why the customer chooses you and not them. You might also do it faster. And better. There s an old saying that you can have it fast, cheap, good, pick two. 8^) You want to bust your a** to give your customer all three.By all means have standard pricing--by the foot or by the hour or the brush stroke or however you do it. And have a minimum, you won t touch a job for less than $xx. Then when someone calls you for an estimate you don t have to dither, you tell em just what it is.Good luck!

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

How to Save Money Buying Popular New Products? -

The first step to saving money buying popular new products is to wait two months after the release of the product to buy it. When a product is first released and it is very popular, people will pay almost anything to get it and people selling these items know that. Wait until two months after product is released, the hysteria of the product dies down, and then you can start to get good deals on these products.he second step is to go to internet auction sites to buy these products. You can often find popular items at a fraction of the price you would find them at in retail stores. Do a search for the product and compare the different listings(make sure the item is marked new or new in box by the seller.The third step is to buy the product in an auction style format, instead of the fixed price format on the internet auction site. You can usually find better deals by going into the auction instead of buying the product at a fixed price listing. To really get a great deal pick an auction that ends at an hour when most people will not be up, such as 3am-4am. This will reduce the number of people who will be up to bid at the final minutes of the auction(where most bidding takes place).

I want to start an online Asian (indian/Pakistani) clothing website..? -

Someone please give me some help/guidance/point in the right direction!I currently work full time in housing and would like a career change eventually. i want to create a online ready made clothing store for Asian women. I have so many ideas about what i want it to be and although i am not a designer i have ideas about certain styles and designs i would like. I am firstly looking for a wholesaler who supplies asian ready made clothes who supplies to small business. I am struggling as i cannot find anything good on the web! secondly i think i will also need to know how to get certain designs and ideas manufactured! is there a certain someone i can go to for advice on this. i really believe this will work but feel i have no idea what to do where to begin! Do i do a fashion design course/ business course... do i need to??

You don t really need a degree for it but you need reliable suppliers to supply you the clothing. Best thing to do is to go to India or Pakistan and buy the clothing yourself, then put them up for sale on your website. I know a few local Pakistani designers so if you can t find anything them e-mail me and I ll hook you up.

I need a little help! my mom owns a restaurant so...? -

it is really small she only does it for breakfastis there anyway I can open my own small shop in there when she is done?I want to sell visual kei items and some other stuffI know my mom wont mind if my plan is good enough....what will need to be done if I Do thisor....I can open an online store to begin with....any place I can get a free site?

Free sites are pretty crapy and you get swamped with annoying adverts of which you have no control over!!!I have just bought a ((mr site)) brand new off e-bay apx ��28.00 and no more costs for another year. I think the next year payment will be around the same to keep it for another year. Quite easy to use if you have a pretty good knowledge of computers. Mail me for any more info regarding mr site if your interested??

Yeah yeah yeah, once again you have chosen, the easy way out, it won t help. Bonzo is soliciting business making a commision off your naivity, Grow -up get a job and learn, because, decisions like this will certainly risk the longevity of time your business remains, in business. Report Abuse

for that my suggestion ishttp://biznuss.net/index.htmli hope it will be beneficial for youkeep using answers.yahoo.com

you usually cannot get a free website if you plan on having online shopping

Here s the problem, and it s a huge problem with many of today s youth. They want it now, they want it free and they want to do it from home. Business and life isn t like that. You get out of something what you put into it. If it s free it isn t worth much, is it? Also, if it s free your effort will be half a$$ed and you will never make the total effort you will need to sustain the focus and dedication to making it work. Like in business and life: nothing ventured nothing gained and it takes money to make money, always precedes lack of confidence and preparation. Prepare to be good or even to be the best by studying what others before you have done, find out what worked and what didn t. By coming to answers to get a quick fix to something that really and truly could prove to be your life long career isn t coming up with a good plan. Taking business classes, reading all the books ever writen about the types of goods and gifts you are going to focus on in your shoppe, by taking notes of important processes like where to buy, what to buy, how to market and you will come up with the plan of all plans and your mom she will end up closing the diner to be your partner in the shoppe. A couple more things, the shoppe has to have easy access and good parking, a great location with tons of walk in traffic and your focus on your kei items might turn to focussing on the importance of reading and literacy for youth and children, kinda like building a better today so tomorrow is even better. Experience working in a shoppe is mandate. Go to the store you want to work at and go there every day until they hire you so you can learn first hand how to buy how to receive check in and stock goods. Learn customer service by giving it. Prepare to win or lose. Easy enough for sports but more importantly easy enough for success as well.

How do i block people with zero feedback from my ebay auction? -

I am trying to sell an expensive item, and the past experience i had, was that scammers with zero feedback would always bid on my item in the last minute of the auction. How do i block these people. PLEASE DONT REPLY SAYING EBAY DOESNT HAVE THIS OPTION, because they recently do, i just cant find out how to do it.

1. Log on to your ebay account, 2. go to my ebay3. go to site map at the top right (under the help ) 4. in the middle column under sell go to Buyer Block Exemption List 5. Then click on buyer block under Buyer Block Exemption List 6. It will take you to this page: http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?BuyerBlockPreferences 7. then go to the bottom, to Buyers who may bid on several of my items and not pay for them 8. then check off the second one Only apply this block to buyers who have a feedback score of __ or lower. And scroll down to 0 9. and then you can also check of the last one Apply above settings to active and future listings.

Unfortunately eBay does not allow sellers to set buyer requirements to block buyers simply because they have no feedback. You can block buyers with a negative feedback score (-1, -2, or -3), but if their feedback score is 0 or above there is no option provided by eBay to automatically prohibit them from bidding on your auction. There was an option a few years ago that you could use, but eBay did away with that when they made their sweeping changes last year (along with prohibiting sellers from leaving neutral and negative feedback). The only way for you to block a buyer with zero feedback is to individually enter their name into your blocked bidders list manually.

When you re on the page where you create your listing, at the bottom in Other things you d like buyers to know , just click on Add Buyer Requirements and you can choose the options.You may first have to click Add or Remove Options and check the box by Block certain eBay users from buying my items.

Help Me Start My Own Radio Station...? -

How Do I Start? What should i do now, im 18 and no money,

Start on youtube and build a following fron there.

Cry. FCC licenses cost a goodly amount of money. That and getting authorization to broadcast music for money also usually costs money.Equipment is expensive and if you use any freqs other than those designated as media broadcast freqs you can be fined (and/or sued)The list goes on...

You won t be able to start now. Try looking for a job in the industry - maybe as a DJ at a local radio station. Work your way up, save you money, learn the ropes, and when you re ready, open your own radio station.

Do taking free paid surveys online really work? -

if it does where online do i go? are they scams?If it works how much do we get paid?

We can t answer this, we have no idea what yo our skills and education are.If you want a real job apply at real companies that have real openings for your profession. Explain in your cover letter that you want to work at your home office.

Yes free paid surveys really work. They are not designed to make you rich but if you join a few reputable panels and take their surveys consistently, you ll find some extra spending cash in your mailbox or Paypal each month.Many companies also pay in sweeps entries, gift cards or points that can be redeemed for rewards. (In my opinion points and cash are best)With anything on the internet, there are legitimate companies, semi-legitimate companies and straight out scams. The best legit companies never require personal information, credit cards, or payment to join.

Hi Betty,I would be careful with a lot of the companies that have been listed here, most ive worked with and they wont pay out!Survey adventure are probably the only legit company still out there that you can actually earn a lot with! there site says up to $150/hour which is exagertated slightly although i did almost $100 / hour once from doing lots of their high paying surveys.anyway give them a try, there the best in the business! there site is at http://www.ez-surveys.co.ccBest of luck

I ve tried just about every site out there and the best site that have actually paid me is,http://tu.nu/4a/11/abI ve already made $1000+ in cash prizes without spending a penny.It��s free to join, they don t ask for your social security number, and you don t need a credit card like most other sites. You don t need to refer a single person in order to receive any of your prizes/payments. And most importantly, it s not a SCAM and I can prove it. But you can get paid by check, you can have the money sent instantly to your PayPal account ($1 min.), E-Gold account, Alert account, Liberty Reserve account, or you can spend your points that you earn to buy anything you want on Amazon. A few ways that you can earn points by completing offers, surveys, playing games or referring other people. But most of the offers are quick, very easy to do, and 100% Free. IMPORTANT STEPS FOR SIGNING UP1. Copy/Paste http://tu.nu/4a/11/ab2. Click on the banner that says, It s Fun and Free Sign Up. 3. Fill out the information with your valid name/address/email etc. (So that way they know where who to ship your prizes/payments. Once you re done they ll send you an email that you ll need to confirm in order to participate.4. Don t forget, you get 250 points for free!!! Use that 250 points to order the Dollar Prize for 144 points. This will verify your account and take you to the bronze level. Also, you should at least try one offer to show you that it really works!*****PROOF OF PAYMENTS*****http://prizesfromp2s.blogspot.com/

Yeah, most of them are pretty good, and they really aren t scams, you just won t make millions. In fact, you ll be lucky enough to make $150+ a month. Try sites like findmysurveys (google it) to find the top 10 legitimate survey sites online. You ll notice that there s a good selection to choose from.

Yes you can make money, but you don t make very much. My favorite site (the only one I ve found worth while) is swag bucks. Swag bucks uses a google based seach engine that gives you a chance to win swag bucks when you search. But its slow because you can t just spam searches, only the first 20 searchs you do per day have a chance of winning. you get an average of 1-5 points per day by searching. Since i search everyday anyway I use swag bucks to make a bit of extra cash. I ve gotten a couple 10 dollar gift cards so far and a 50 dollar card. If you re interested you can use this link: http://swagbucks.prodege.com/?cmd=sb-register rb=116419

I make money online in my spare time using a site called CashCrate. It is a GPT (Get Paid To) site where you get paid to fill out surveys and complete free offers. You dont need a credit card and will never have to spend a dime. CashCrate is the most reliable and safest GPT site you will find on the internet. You wont get rich from cashcrate but you can earn about $50-$200/month on average. Below is the URL to my blog dedicated to cashcrate. In it is everything you need to know to get started as well as Proof that CashCrate Pays. If you are interested please check it out. p.s. If you have any questions you can email me at pronk48dh@yahoo.com

I recently started blogging about legitimate paid surveys online. Visit http://www.bigbucksurveys.blogspot.com

free paid ?? They are scams for the most part. You might be able to make a FEW bucks, but not enough to buy 2-3 gallons of gas per month.

Are there any other ways to be an affiliate without a website? -

I don t have a job and I don t have money for a domain or for web hosting. I heard that affiliate marketers don t like free websites. What should I do?

You can always give up on the idea, maybe get a job at a pub instead.have fun

Hi i do not have a website and i joined clickbank a couple months ago and at first i wasn t making any money i had 1 sale that s it, then i decided to take a chance with a program called The Affiliate Code,im glad i did if you can find a way to just get the money for this program this guy shows you how to get all free advertising and a whole lot more. i got this about 2 weeks a go and i now have 13 more sales + i signed up to be an affiliate for this product its good i have not spent any money for advertising. the program pays for itself and its a top seller so im not the only one making money from it. here is a link http://tinyurl.com/pglees good luck!

How do I overcome managers and employees gossiping about each other including me at a retail store? -

I ve been working at a clothing retail store for about a year now as a part-time. Within a year, there were so many employees and managers that left. I know that since it s a women s clothing store, the employees will gossip about each other. Our store recently got a new co-manager and she s been gossiping about everyone including myself with the other managers. I didn t hear about it before, but the coworkers told me recently. I never spoke about anyone because I believe it s petty. When the others would gossip, I would just nod but I wouldn t say anything about another co-worker. It made me furious however, that I m hearing these things they say about me now and in front of me they are all nice or act nice. Now some of the employees are giving my a cold shoulder when I didn t even say anything. I try my best at work, I can definitely say this for sure, but it s getting to me about all this gossiping. I am more on the quiet side, and I really do not like it if someone is acting distant or cold. What do I do?

Just ignor the happnings, Put a task to your employees and get it compleated with your contributions. this is very comman problem with every one. it might possible that you have not shown your command on any specific skill to earn the respect. Your co-manager is new to your shop. Ask her about her past experiance, just give some respect and get resolved some queries from her. also dont forget to mention your view on the same query and try to convince her about your knowlage in the shop. Your problem can be solved only by team spirit. try to generate the same in your shop. Start it from yourself

Do you sell on amazon or ebay? -

I want to sell i need to know what products are selling. Also when 1st time seller should i make alot of money even in this bad economy?

Bad economy? Sell a bargain! This economy can make you rich because people are looking for money saving bargains in every category you can think of. People go on ebay and amazon to purchase a bargain for the most part and don t want to pay full retail for anything. You are to sell below retail. Try 20% below the retail price and keep it moving.

I ve been selling on eBay for over 10 years making nice side cash and everything I get is from thrift stores. Especially vintage items. Vintage items , especially certain clothing goes for major bucks on eBay! You can find things at thrift stores for so cheap it s crazy. You might want to check out my book. I wrote it for people like yourself.

Be careful on ebay when selling - make sure you don t use the 5 free listings when selling. If your item sells between $40-$500, you ll end up paying more ebay fees than usual!

What kind of help would you pay to have for your small business? -

Running a small business is hard work. The business owner faces mounted stress from pressure to make sales, do the work of the business, marketing, and the general great load on their shoulders!So I m asking you, what kind of help would you pay a small fee for (say $50/month) someone to help you out with running your business?

Yoga business costs ? -

What are the business start-up costs ?What are the operating expenses ?What extra inventory maybe needed ?What is the estimated yearly revenue and profit ?

Hi - Business costs and revenue will vary depending on the size and location of your studio, how many staff members you hire, how many classes you offer, heated yoga, local competition, etc. You can take a look at sample start-up costs for another yoga studio to get an idea of what you may expect.http://www.bplans.com/yoga_center_busine��You can also request information from a yoga franchise like Sunstone Yoga. The investment cost they quote is between $147,000-$327,000.http://www.sunstoneyoga.com/ProductsServ��

I would visit the Small Business Administration in your city and ask them for help. There are many many start up costs, location, liability, education etc. maybe even licensing etc.Also, call a Yoga Business in a city near you and ask them, they may or may not be willing to talk with you, but you may find a great mentor who can help guide you.

Are there any work from home jobs that are legit? -

I mean theres all these advertisments on T.v and radio, and the internet, have you ever tried it? My sister in law just had a baby and needs to work, yet doesnt want to have to leave her 4 month old baby at home for 9 hours with a sitter. Any ideas? Thanks!

I work at home with a debt-free wellness company and a well established support team. The income potential is truly unlimited, completely based on how much effort you are willing to expend. There is no selling involved, no holding inventory or delivering of products. This is a great business to develop online. I know many people in our network who make well over $100,000 solely from working their business online and on the phone. When you get started with this business, you will be provided a free website, free training, and a great support team! I promise this is not a scam. There is real money to be made by anybody who is willing to work hard.

Have either of you looked into medical transcription? Over 80% of medical transcriptionists work from home. A medical transcriptionist listens to doctor dictation and types it out for the patient s medical record. It is all done on the computer and files are transferred between you and your employer via the internet. Training is required unless you have had prior experience. Here is a link for more info on what a medical transcriptionist does and on training if you two are interested! http://www.careerstep.com/workathome/?ui��The majority of medical transcriptionists are women (like over 90%) because of your sister s situation- they don t want to leave their kids with a sitter. Good luck in your search!

Well, my husband and I have been working for several months now for a very solid work from home business that has been around for over 37 years, is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange, that has an A+ with the Better Business Bureau, and we are starting to make a Very nice income with it in working only a few hours a week. In fact, there s some Extremely exciting things going on with it especially in the next two weeks that will make people who sign up with it right now have an opportunity to take off even more and make a great deal of money.

get her to set up one of them companies where you post gold to them. all she has to do is get people to send her their gold, and then she melts it in a pan on the cooker, molds the liquid gold in to bar shapes, whack it in the freezer for a couple of hours, sell the gold, and give the customers (who post the gold) a small cut of the massive proceeds. she ll be mega rich.....

I would like to recommend you my work at home way that works very well. I get right work at home way and applied the way, then I make fast money everyday. You need to have the way that works. You can get the best work at home way that worked for me. You can get more information at http://bit.ly/56Lp2

my best friend works from home with www.alpineaccess.com.

I tried over 15 opportunities in the course of 2 years so I have some great information for you on how to find a LEGIT way to work from home plus a list of top 10 work at home scams! This post is a little long, but you will walk away armed with the knowledge you need to find a legitimate work from home opportunity. I am a single mother of two little girls who are actually tugging on my arm as I write this so I will try to be brief. Many people are looking for work from home companies. All the scams definitely create a big problem. Did you know Yahoo Finance states that for every 1 real home career there are 50 scams? You have to be careful and I can show you how. So the scams create a big problem but also, there is a problem of people misunderstanding the difference between work from home jobs and work from home opportunities. There really are not work from home ��jobs��. To get that you have to start working for a company in their offices first, then they MAY allow you to take the job home.Most of the work from home opportunities that are legitimate offers are not an hourly pay type job. They are business opportunities that help you in starting your own business from your home. What you should do first is to decide if you are simply looking for an hourly rate type job or if you are looking for more of an opportunity for additional income such as what you would make in your own business being your own boss from home. Did you know that small home business have increased in the last 5 years by about 200%? People are really starting to realize that if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. Meaning, if you want to make the kind of money you are worth, the kind of money you deserve for your efforts, then you need to make that happen yourself. No one else will take care of you financially the way you would take care of yourself! Legitimate small home businesses have some small costs involved, less than $500 to start is reasonable and I would stay away from those wanting $1000-$5000. It doesn��t cost that much to start and run a home business so you shouldn��t pay it. There are some great small home franchises that you can start for $50 to $100 bucks!If you are coming across places that say free then I would RUN don��t walk the other way! They never are. I tried them many times and 3 weeks later I had to buy this and 6 weeks later that. After 6 months these ��free businesses�� had cost me over $800 on average.After trying 15 things I now work about 18-25 hours per week for a well known and respected company with amazing credentials. And get this, this company��s motto is ��Saving Americans, One Household At A Time��. This company actually helps keep Americans Safe and Secure by offering Medical and Dental plans at affordable rates that anyone can afford. This National Medical Healthcare Company has recently opened a new division called SecureNet where they help Americans Protect their children in a program called National Child ID in partnership with the FBI. They also help Americans get back on top of their finances with Foreclosure Avoidance, Debt Relief, Credit Repair and more. Whether you are helping people get much needed medical and dental care, helping people keep their children safe or helping people stay afloat in this uncertain economy, you can feel comfort and pride knowing you are working from home with a credible company that you would be PROUD to work with.This is a nationally known and reputable home business which is what you need to make sure you are looking for. I have been with the company for just over two years now and I make over $3000 a month! In your first month, depending on how many hours you can work, I have seen people make anywhere from $500 to over $1000. And your income will increase each month because you get paid residual income as well. This is where you do the work once, but every month when your customer pays their monthly bill, you get your commission again. Again and again, month after month, year after year. That��s called residual income.The best part is they have 401(k), direct deposit, life insurance and a benefits package most of which you get from day one. In addition, there are no products, no hard selling or pushing, no cold calling, no home parties and no telemarketing! That was VERY important to me. I absolutely love working with them and I can t believe I am making what I am making and in so few hours per week. The neat thing is there are other people on your team that you work with so you are never alone. You have great team support and you get to know the other people on your team pretty well. I��ve made some great friends working with this company.I was a bit apprehensive at first because I know a lot of companies are not legit but this company��s credentials FAR SURPASSED any other home business I had ever seen. Our $25 Million Dollar Corporate Office is located at 5700 Democracy Dr., Plano, T

I want to start a website but I have no idea where to begin? -

I have been trying to gather information on starting a website for my business, but I am still totally lost. I want to create a website to sell items that I make. How do I go about doing this? And what does it cost?Do I have to get my website name first? And then what after that? I am not very good with computers so I need very basic instructions on what to do and how to go about it.Thank you.

try Ebay first

I wanted to create my own website to promote products. I tried to build one using how to build a websites . They were easy to use but they didn��t really do what I needed and like you said the control panel was way confusing.I found this place on Facebook. They guaranteed I could build a website after I used them. It was actually pretty cool. They were able to log right onto my computer and show me everything I needed. It took about 2 hours. When I was done I could build just about any kind of website I wanted.(I have found website building is very addictive)I keep making page after page and can customize it anyway I want.It was only $75.00 and they were very professional. I think they were just starting out. The guy that helped me was really nice. He explained everything he was doing while I watched from my computer screen. Then I took over and he watched and talked me through all the steps.

I m not sure what items you make, but if it s anything craft related at all, try etsy.com It is a very reputable website for people to sell and buy crafts they make. With the info you ve given us, I wouldn t suggest a a website just to sell things. You ll be 9,976th in search results, and unless you sell things that are truly unique, people won t find your site. Also, I know I d feel more comfortable buying from a seller on eBay, Etsy, etc. before buying from a private site.

Depending on what kind of computer you use there are many different way to get a website started. If you use a Mac, then iWeb is the best and easiest way to get started. If you use a PC then there are many different drag and drop website programs that you can use. Having a Domain Name isn t necessary to have at first but thinking of one that you are sure that you can live with for a while is a good idea. You will however, need to have one when you decide to publish your site.I hope this helps

go to www.smallbizztools101.com enter your name check out the website and then sign up to watch the free on demand video that goes over marketing your business and gives help on building a website. check it out

Since your not very computer savvy you should just seek out a web designer they can be a bit pricey but since your running a business and you will need there help a lot they may work with u on the price. Your business name will most likely be the name of your website. If your looking for a price range i would look towards the 1500 range for professional work.

Hello All,Im a young man looking to open up my own Beach bar in Zante. But, I am not sure at all how to go along this line and do it. I need some advise or help. what do I do first? How much money are we looking at to start? buy, rent property? Legal matters? etc?............ Any help about how i should go along this would be Fantastic! It has been one of my hidden dreams to own my own bar in Greese and I know I would be amazing at it, but its just getting there that I am not a 100% sure of.Regards

As a starting point, visit the Business Link website. Although it s aimed at businesses in the UK, it will help you put your ideas together in the right order.The questions you ask about how much it will cost are not easy to answer. It depends on whether you re going to buy somewhere and fit it out from scratch, take over an existing place and what size it is. It further depends on what the extent of the services are that you re going to provide - just drinks, some food, barbecue etc.You will need a lawyer out there to help you. Make sure you find an English speaking one if you don t speak Greek well.Good luck!

Advice on starting a business for my son? -

My son has had a business idea his friend used to run a business delivering milk to Commercial premises ie (Shops, Pubs, Hotels, Cafes, ect) His friend has since give up the business and moved abroad. My son seems to think that he had a cracking business so he is thinking about doing the same thing he has asked me to lend his ��10,000 to get started I would love to set him up but I would like to now more about it ie (How much it will cost him to buy the milk and how much he could sell it to the corner shops for) as he dose not seem to now a lot about it but on the other hand he is a hard worker and I think if we new a bit more about the trade he would make a really good go of it and I would back him all the way ANY ADVICE WELCOME THE MORE INFO YOU HAVE THE BETTER.

Go to the local dairies and ask. They probably supply the delivery vehicles on a hire basis. I expect your son s mate gave it up because his income was declining. And it probably still is. You need a business plan.

I think having a third party resource that could sit down with both of you and map out the statistics, costs etc to see if it really is a viable business. This way the pressure is not coming from you and the 3rd party may provide some insights you son has not seen. Have your son get a business plan in place and then re-consider the investment. [Along with that, there needs to be a re-payment plan in place]

��10,000 is a huge amount, apart from a van what would the rest be for. You will find that the market for milk is stitched up. The people we used for our catering business could not make any money from it as the larger firms could charge lower prices. As a starter ask at a few shops or restaurants and see who their suppliers are. I think you will find it will be one of several large companies who buy milk by the thousand gallon and re bottle it themselves.

Why are you asking this question. If your son is serious about starting up this business then HE will go and find out all these facts and figures, If he wants you to invest in his business then HE has to come up with a good business plan. He should not be asking you for money unless he can prove on paper that the figures add up, and no investor with any sense would take on a project without the facts and figures being presented to him. Being a hard worker is no guarantee of success if the figures simply do not add up. He should have come up with a detailed business plan before he asked you to even consider backing him. If he won t go and find out these details then he is not committed to the idea. Don t risk your hard-earned cash on this venture unless he is prepared to do the leg-work. It is very easy to risk someone else s money!

Suggest to your son that he contacts his local Business Link for free help and advice on starting his business. They can help with things like his business plan, which is essential before starting any venture and particularly if you re asking someone to invest in it.As has been said elsewhere, ��10k seems a lot for what he s proposing to do. As part of his plan he does need to show how he s going to repay that money.It s also strongly advisable that you set up a formal agreement between the two of you, if he does go ahead and you lend him some money to start. It should set out exactly who has put up what, the effects on ownership of the business, what happens if there s a dispute of any sort and what happens in the event of the business failing. Most disputes in business are about money so it s easier to have an agreement in place before you start rather than trying to thrash things out in a crisis. (My husband and I have had agreements between ourselves in all our business ventures.)As has also been said elsewhere, if he s going to run this business, he should be the one doing the legwork and finding out about it. I fired my son from one of our businesses when he wasn t pulling his weight.

Can i start a website not being 18? and tips on starting one? -

I HAVE SMALL AGENCY SHOP OF M. RECHAGE IN MUMBAI. WHERE DO I CAN GET LOGO AND BANNERS FOR ADVT. OF ALL OPERATO? -

As I taken up agency outlet, I could not able to advertise the operators co. made logos and banners to attract customers. Where and how do I could get them for display outside shop

i think the mobile company people should provide you with their banners.or else, you can get them printed at flex printing outlet in your area.

Need a idea? any suggestions? starting a business!? -

Alright so, i have already decided on starting my own business. I want something that i can start out small and then expand when it starts to grow. I havent gone to college, but i know a lot about running a business, bookkeeping, taxes, payroll, etc. All i really need is an idea of what kind of business to start? any suggestions, ideas, help?

You can join a business and your job is to apply yourself and do what they teach you to do. Do not spend money to join any such company. Many are FREE with NO cost to join and NO fees to pay ever! Your only cost factor would be advertising and getting a website hosted and domain name. Many legitimate online businesses will provide with all the tools you need for FREE. Even if you cannot make a website or blog, they create one for you because THEY only make MONEY when YOU make MONEY.Then you get duplication from a simple system for success to teach your people to duplicate what you were taught to do. Your job is to mentor your people or get them active with the training calls and support team as you guide them along.

I have two suggestions that I hope will be very beneficial to you. I m not sure on what your are trying to start a on or offline business, but these ideas are for an online business. The first suggestion is to establish a business around something that you are very passionate about or something that you love to do. You will have a hard time occurring huge profits if you are going to operate a business around something you hate doing. The next step is to determine your market or even if you have a market for the given business or product. Sample ways of determining your market would be to use goggle. Type in the idea that you are considering starting and determine how many hundred, thousand, or millions of searches appear in the results section. If you conclude that a lot of search results are available then you have a profitable product.

I would say it depends on where you live. I would go out and explorer. See if there is something missing. Something you know if you was to place this kind of business here. People would flock to it. For example: I am in Richmond, Va. All of the movie theaters here are far away from the inner city. Some very smart people built a movie close in the city. They are always packed cause they are close and there is no competition. Plus it has been years since we have had a movie theater. Now we do and they are banking.

Can i have the word quot;foundationquot; in my for-profit business? -

i do apologize for asking this question because it was asked on this forum before. it wasnt really answered. i live in las vegas, nevadajireh, 22

You could call it that but it would obviously be wrong. Foundations are organizations established and funded by endowments typically associated with some type of charity or public service. Although there s no law against using the word foundation in your company s name, the common usage is pretty strictly followed so almost anyone seeing your company name would think it was a true foundation.In the long run, I think this would cause confusion and even possible ill-will with potential customers. Also, I think the name might actually hurt your business since some would dismiss it as a charity. I would avoid using it but if you really want to, there s nothing stopping you. Good luck..

What are some work from home pc jobs that you dont have 2 pay 4??? -

some job that you can work from home thats free

Amazon has a site you can make money at https://www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome People pay you through Amazon to click links and make forum comments and things like that.

Watch craigslist and your local newspaper, but if the company isn t one you can drive to and walk in the door, it s most likely a scam. And if you do find one, drive to them and walk in the door and make sure they are legitimate. Anything that requires you to pay to do it, is a scam, plain and simple.

How do I get a babysitting job? -

I m taking the course this week, and i really want to start babysitting. I m going to do it with my friend, and we re both thirteen (Very responsible, smart girls). But, we don t know how to get a job, and my mom doesn t want me to go to some random person house, but she can t find anyone for me to babysit?

if your parents have any friends that have children ask them to mention that your avalible

What experience do you have taking care of small children? A much younger bro/sis? Cousins, etc? Do you volunteer to help whoever runs the nursery during church services at your church on Sunday? Help with small tots story hour at the public library? Whatever experience you have is experience you can use while babysitting, experience you can tout when looking for sitting jobs, AND a source of acquaintances and referrals for babysitting work. Then there are your neighbors, members of your church, clubs organizations you /or your parents belong to, your parents coworkers at their jobs. Always start with people you /or your parents know and who know you!BTW, the 2 of you back each other up so that between the two of you you can accommodate your regular customers. You do NOT both go to the same family at the time. People will think you are incompetent and need help, or else that you two will goof off together. Cross-references and cross-referrals help both of you and your regular families you work for. They know they can count on getting someone good when they need them, even in those cases where needs crop up at the last minute.

You can t go out into the world and get a job at 13 there are laws in place so that kids don t get exploitedI got my first job at Taco Bell I was 14craigslist is a good resource for you to find children to sit onif you haven t seen Dr. Seuss The Cat In The Hat I recommend it.look in the local bwqapaper in your area for leads

What is the law saying that the government can not say how buisness run. Or how much they sell the products?!? -

What is the law saying the government san not intefere the way a company makes money. Like saying how mush money they can sell their stuff for. please?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

We have a bunch of Democrats in power. There is nothing sacred right now, just take the credit card companies, and health care for example (disregarding whether it needs it or not).Realistically, the government isn t going to get involved in your business as long as you don t do anything illegal, and you pay your taxes.

What are you talking about? Government interferes in businesses every day. However, there are no laws restricting how mush you can sell an item for,

You should pass out magnet business cards in your area. You can purchase the roll of magnets at Staples ,then apply them to your business cards so that you can produce a lot more. The magnet doesn t have to be a large piece,just enough to hold your business card in-place for your customers. That s # 1. First test-try this with 500 business cards and see how it works. Just place them at door steps in your area that you feel you have potential buyers. Always be upfront with your prices because that s important, and know the top 3 things that separate your business from the rest. Magnets business cards are important because if you only passed-out a paper flier with in a few days your potential customer might lose it with all the junk mail they receive, also, your hard work of walking and placing them at door steps wouldn t be as effective.

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.

How is inventory accounted for? -

By sending someone to count it, of course. You know how much you ordered (in), you know how much you sold (out), so should know what s left. If there s shrinkage, there should be records like we broke 3 bottles of X this morning . Others... would be theft.

Is it always necessay for a manager to know the businesslsquo;from the ground uprsquo;? -

Is it always necessay for a manager to know the business��from the ground up�� ?Tell the reason in Business area.

Managers are not just the boss, they are the liason between upper management (owner, CEO, VP etc.) and employees. Managers must know the business they are directing. Otherwise they will run the business to the ground. They must have business management training.Managers help businesses achieve goals. These can be sales, environmental, expeansion etc. So they need have the respect of the employees. If the employees know more about the business than the manager, he will not have the respect, will not be a good leader and will achieve the goals upper management has proposed. I would never promote someone to management without a college degree in business or at least 5 years in my company. I prefer both. I also prefer accountants, I think they are the best prepared to be leaders.

Where can i get free data entry projects without any registration fees ? -

I would like to make money in my home itself. Kinldy please help me to get free home data entry projects without any registration fee. i found lot of sites asking money. but i have no enough money. I hope everyone can understand my illness. Give some links which are doing free registration data entry projects.

Hello,I would suggest you visit freelance sites and internet marketing forums where you post a thread offering your services - you can offer much more than data entry, for example forum posting, writing etc. Also, there you are hired by people for a specific task and are paid afterwards.

You won t. Data Entry jobs were obsolete 10 years ago. There are no real online jobs.

Would you bid on item you want on ebay at the very last minute? -

i have a few items for sale on ebay. these items have at least 1 person watching them. no one has bid and the auction is ending in 2 days. do you think they will bid or just watch and see how the item does? someone whos a bidder out there would you bid immediately to mark your territory or wait until last minute?

It all depends on someone s style of bidding. When I bid, if it is something I have been watching, I ll throw a bid in the last minute. If it is something that lots of people are selling, I ll throw down the bid on the max amount I am willing to pay for that item and never mess with it. But like I said, I usually wait until the last minute because I will still assess whether or not I am getting a deal.

I always bid at the last minute. I am always puzzled when I watch an auction and see people continuing to outbid each other and driving up the price. Better for the bidder to bid at the last minute Especially since eBay has the feature to just watch the auction. Makes it very easy to keep track of what you are interested in without placing a bid.

Office cleaning leads? -

I opened a cleaning business...basically got my liecence and stuff, and now need clients. I am torn between office cleaning and home cleaning. I think office cleaning would be easier and one would make more money, but i cant be sure. My question has to parts, which is better home or office, and second question is how do i get business. Like how do i approach people or business s about hiring me? Thanks.

First you need to advertise. Make up some flyer s and go to different business and give to the managers. If you want to do homes do the same thing just distribute them around neighborhoods. I get at least 3 a month. Good Luck with the business

What a great and inspiring answer Mike gave you! I clean small offices, which is easier-and less expensive-to start than the big commercial accounts Mike referred to. It also pays well and consistent, particularly if you have your customer under contract. It can be tough in this economy to find customers, but there are certain small offices that always need to be professionally cleaned, like medical facilities, doctors, dentists, funeral homes. Many times these businesses aren t so pleased with who is cleaning it now, but do not have the time or know how to find an alternative. Also, keep an eye out for newly constructed office complexes for leads.Before you begin getting customers, though, you need to do a few things. You said you have the license, do you have liability insurance or a bond? This is important because it protects you from claims of damage or theft. Those are usually false claims, but why not have the insurance agency deal with it?! Plus, having it is a great sales tool for either residential or commercial. And, keep in contact with your agent, they can be a good lead source for new businesses or home owners.There s a lot more and I have tons of tips and resources for you on my Squidoo lens and blog about starting a cleaning business. The links are in My Profile.Go for It and Good Luck!

My father and I also own a cleaning service.We ve been in business for over 17 yrs.We re located in the west burbs.I normally wouldn t give advise to a competitor, but there is enough work out there for both of us.Also, I think that what comes around goes arouind.If I can help someone out, then it will come back to me somehow.Maybe someone will help me in my time of need.1. When we first started, we were cleaning houses.This is a great place to start, but it is tough work and with the economy the way it is, it s tough.Alot of people don t have the money to hire someone to clean.Don t be discouraged by this.You can find the jobs, but just be patient and diligent.2. After cleaning houses for years, the work began to wear down my mother.We had 6 houses a day, but we split them up.My mother and my father would do 3 and me and my good friend would do 3.The money was pretty good, but like I said before, it was tough work.3. we got our first commercial account with a big well known company about 11 yrs ago.It was a warehouse aprox. 350,000 sq ft.I had no idea how much money there is in this.It was tough though.For these kind of accounts you need to have some money saved.You will have to hire several people.We had to have enough to pay our employees for the first 30 days until we got our first check from the cleaning.Also included with our bid was the supplies(toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning products, ect.)It s best to do as much work as possible yourself.This will avoid having to pay several employees when you first start.Once you get a few checks in, then you can hire more people and kinda act as a supervisor instead of doing all the hard work.Commercial accounts are a little tougher to start up, but that s where the real money is.From that first commercial account we were getting 18.5k per month.After taxes , insurance,payroll and supplies, we were netting 12k per month.Also, we started hauling thier wooden pallets away.We were getting the pallets for free and selling them for $4 each.Not much $ per pallet, but we were getting 500 pallets minimum per day 5 days a week.Do the math.We were easily pulling over 40k per month out of that building!We had that account for 11 yrs, but lost it due to the down economy.If you don t have the money to start out with commercial buildings, then improvise.Where there is a will there is a way.You have 3 options.1. You can do houses and save up the money.2. You can borrow it from someone(that s what we did). 3. You can try to get some kind of small business loan that will cover payroll.They re called payroll loans.I hope this helps you out.Good luck and remember ...STAY VIGILENT!!!Don t ever give up.Every successful person has something in common.They never gave up.
