Do I need a small business lisence to fix computers in my home for a fee? -

I wasn t sure whether to try to find a legal section or put it here, but the topic is business. So here goes.I m 16 and am very experienced with computers. I m currently in my first year at college and am very confident in my ability. I ve made a few house calls setting up networks and fixing computers packed with viruses. I d like to put an ad in the paper and make a little money with it. (Foodservice jobs suck! XD)Do I need a small business license or something? I didn t even think of it until I realized that I could make quite a bit of profit (for a teenager) and that I ll probably have to file taxes or something of the sort.The bottom line: Do I need a small business license? Keep in mind I m only 16, so I m still a minor. I don t know if that makes a difference.

yes you do...but for a donation hell no.Example....Scenario 1 (With License). I will charge you 50 for a hard drive installScenario 2 (No license). Give me a 50dl donation for installing the hard drive..

As long as your earnings are below the thresh-hold you don t. You have to check your state laws for the limit.

for tax purposes you will want to file for a LLC

if you re going to do something that you enjoy and may lead to starting, building and owning a successful computer repair business then do it right from the start...1.Create your company name.2.Register your name.3.Form your business structure; Sole Proprietorship.4.Obtain your business/occupational license (if needed by your county).5.Obtain your resellers license (sales tax license) which most states allow at age 16...if not then have one of your parents get their tax id, sales tax license and you make it look like you work for them...6.Get signed up with the distributors in order to have access to hardware and software at wholesale.-you need a website...every business needs a website...7.Choose your domain name.8.Register your domain name9.Choose a webhost provider and a hosting plan.10.Choose your web development software.11.Start building your website.12.Set up your merchant account or paypal account or have your parents set it up for you.13.Complete your website.14.Promote, market and advertise your website and services locally and online as well to establish a presence.. many people use google more than they use their yellowpages.15.Then wait for the order to start rollin in.Of course it s not that simple but it can be if you just take it one step at a time. Write a simple step-by-step business plan just as you see here. Then follow each step and then scratch it off of your list as you complete it. Before you know it you ll be needing to hire more help. Hope this helps...

Is it better to get a patent or a copy right? -

Enter more detail here (Optional)

Patents are for devices/designs, processes, physical items. Copyright is for written things such as music, literary, or technical copy or images.

It really does depend on what you want to protect!A copyright protects original work such as books, music, movies, plays and website/program code. They last for the lifetime of the author and then up to about 75 years after their death.A patent protects original processes and technologies used inside of a product. They last for up to 20 years and I don t think they can be renewed, so whatever the patent was covering will just enter the public domain and anyone can use your technology.

If you ve invented something, you need a patent. If you ve got text or images that you re publishing, you have a copyright on them.Patents and copyrights are two different things. They re used for two different purposes. One isn t better than the other.

A patent is for a process or an item. A copyright is for intellectual property like music or books.

if you get a patent usually you still get the cpyrightif your endorsing a name brand you created

patent because then you have the item trademarked

depends what its for ??

How do I sell my collection of paperback books quickly on ebay in 24hrs? -

Are there any tips on ebay to sell quickly like in 24 hrs?1. I lowered the price by $502. I offered free shipping with UPSWhat should I do now? Should I continue lowering the price? or just wait?

Paperback books do not retain their value at all - you d be best first investigation how much they are really worth by looking up those titles in paperback online (eBay or abebooks) or checking out your local used book store. The vast majority of paperback novels sell for on average just 50 cents, and non-fiction trade around the $2-7 range depending on the subject, rarity, and condition of the books. That of course assumes they aren t signed by the author or anything. All you can do is wait and see, but I worry that since you ve dropped the price by $50 you my have priced them for a lot more than they re actually worth or will sell for.

if they aren t books one person is going to want, there is nothing you can do - even if it sells in 24 hrs doesn t mean you will have the cash in your hand in 24 hrs - it may take a day or two for the buyer to pay thru Paypal and if you want that cash in your bank acct - that s another 2-3 day wait - you may never sell that lot of books - a very low percentage of all ebay auctions actually get a buyer

1.) Promote your item on free sites (that pertain to books, maybe even a chat room about your book series.) 2.) When you sell your item you can list the duration you want to sell it for (if you ve already posted your item go to - revise item - under online auction there s a pull down menu under duration choose - 1 day). Then add a line to subject to get buys motivated - Sale ends in 24 hours! In your description add something like Great gift, buy now to get before the holidays 3.) Always remember to be descriptive as possible and use key words that people may search, this will make your listing come up in more searches. 4) Then wait, most people bid within the last hour (a lot of people use bidding software that bids on their behalf at the last second.)Good luck and happy holidays!

Free Shipping is good. Add the Buy it Now feature so they can quickly finish the transaction and you can get paid.

I need to earn money real quick from home what company is better then the other one ? -

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,

No one better than an other. They are here to make money and exploit you. Do like me, buy and resell on the net. I have been doing that for the past 7 years and never had to look for a job since. Personally I buy in China and resell where I live at a much higher price

EBay Delivery Help: Delivering To A Country You Dont Live In? -

I live in England so that means my address on my ebay account is an address in the UK but I want to buy something off eBay and get it delivered to the USA, is this possible? And if so, please could you tell me how. I d really really appreciate it (:Thanks so much 3

Yes, that is possible. Just use the Contact Seller feature of the listing, and then arrange the shipping any way you like through them.

most sellers will not deliver to anything but the verified account address if you are paying with Paypal within the ebay world; sellers are not protected against fraud otherwise.however.. some also operate outside ebay and will otherwise accept visa or m/c.you ll have to contact the seller before bidding and ask.

I want sell an item on ebay, whats the best way to ship it and i need some tips? -

im new to ebay i have a few items i want sell but i dont know which is the best way to send the item and i need some tips since im new on ebay anyone intrested????

It depends on the item. If its books or media - ship it media mail because ebay only allows you to ask for 4.00 shipping. If they are heavy objects use flat rate boxes from the post office. There are 3 sizes of boxes you can get for free at the post office. That s the way I normally ship. Other than that I use parcel post. Get yourself a scale. If you can t afford one, weigh yourself on your own scale and then step off, pick up the package and step back on. The difference is the weight of your package. Gives you a rough idea. Then go to the postal rates on the computer and see what it will cost. Add a little for handling and you have it. If you can t do this, package the item up and take it to the post office, tell them to check the rate to the farthest zip code from your home. This also gives you a rough estimate. You can also look up the item your selling to see if someone else is selling the same thing and check what they are charging for shipping.By the way they have a shipping calculator with ebay also. But my items are usually heavy so I flat rate them. It s a lot easier.You can also call ebay, they will give you all the help you need. They also have a live chat line right on the site.

There are different ways and methods you can go with! Fedex and DHL can get very expensive. There are a bunch of parcel forwarding services available as well. One such co that I like to use are called Shipito. You can go on their website and they have a shipping calculator, you can put the weight of the parcel and what country you would be sending it to and boom they calculate a rate for you. They are one of few comapnies that use USPS which is the cheapest to deal with! hope this help.

How do I finance my own customers? -

I have a tire center. I would like customers to come in and apply for credit so that they can purchase my items. I personally cannot finance them. I need a bank to back up them up. What is the process to get this rolling? Thanks.

It consults with your bank, alone you conclude the business if the prices don t ascend too much. A lot of luck wishes you in your business
