Whats a quick way to get $460 in three weeks!!? -

So my parents finally decided to cave in!! My mom will be paying 400 dollars and my dad will be pay 640 dollars for a Macbook pro 13inch. They said it was up to me to get the rest of the money. Which is 460 dollars. The deadline is at the end of December (three weeks) because were buying it from Best Buy. At best buy we have points which give us money so it works out...sorry if i m not explaining it correctly...

Options:1) Get a job. Take a stroll in your neighborhood tomorrow and just ask about temp labor2) Call your grandparents or other relatives and explain the situation. A good friend may be able to help, but try to understand how important it is to repay your friends soon!3) Ask your parents for a loan and make a promise for the future (I will get a job; I will forgo half of my pocket money for X months). Try not to look like a jerk when you make the request.

take a loan from your parents. They donate 400 and 640 as you said, and they each kick in $230 more ; $460, WHICH YOU AGREE TO REPAY TO THEM BY THE 1ST OF MARCH? (or lose the use of the Macbook pro13inch until you pay off both loans.Personally I prefer to deal with Sam s Club. They have better prices, and you get the discounts or rebates at the time of purchase. (Not rebates that you have to mail in, like at Best Buy). Upgrade your membership at Sam s Club to Advantage Plus, and get a free (2nd) year of extended warranty.Interesting that you do not say how old you are, and whether or not you have a job.

oh good question:well, anyway theres this site called ********, i absolutely loooooove it :D its a survey/offer site thing, where you fill out surveys and such. blah blah. and you can make a LOT of money a month.i have made over 10 bucks already and ive been using this for like... idk, a week :) im a teen and this is the way that i earn money. lol. :Phttp://www.*************/1550973thats the link :)i also have this other site that lets you earn money, except you can only join by email.. so if you want to, msg me :) its called lockerz.good luck!gosh, i wrote a lot. i should be doing my essay. lol.EDIT: ahhh, wtf. it blocked out the website name...? omg.. ugh. apparently im spamming? uh no.. well if you want the site, msg me. sorry :(

Here are the PositionsPOSITION#1 --- imabeliever2010@hotmail.comPOSITION#2 --- mjharrs@yahoo.comBUT FIRST HERE S WHAT YOU NEED TO DO. . .STEP 1Ok, if you re not already a PayPal user, the very first thing you need to do is use the PayPal link below and SIGN UP. It takes just two minutes! Here s the URL: http://www.paypal.com Be sure to use this link so you can sign up for a free PREMIER or BUSINESS account. You ll need to have a PREMIER or BUSINESS account (and not a PERSONAL account) otherwise you won t be able to receive credit card payments from other people.STEP 2Law of AttractionIt is an undeniable law of the universe that we must first give in order to receive. So the first thing to do when you have your Premier/Business PayPal account is to IMMEDIATELY send a $5 payment from your PayPal account to the email address in the position (1 or 2 - depending on your birthday in the timeline), along with a note saying: HERE IS A $5 GIFT FOR YOU. Be certain to add this note, as this is what KEEPS THIS PROGRAM LEGAL. Instructions on how to send a payment are under SEND MONEY at the Paypal Site. It s so Easy!!When you send your $5 payment to either address in the list, do it with a great big smile on your face because as you sow, so shall you reap! After you have transferred a $5 payment to the email address, something very eerie happens. It gives you an indescribable, overwhelming sense of certainty, belief and conviction in the system. You ve just proved to yourself that, because you have done it, there must be a great number of other people ready to do exactly the same. Thus you have now seen for yourself, first hand, that this business actually works!REMOVE the email address you are replacing (the one you sent $5 to), and REPLACE it with your own email address. REMEMBER: Use the same EMAIL ADDRESS that is used with YOUR Paypal account ! !Paste your newly typed email address over the old one and then send it to your friends....remember..only a few have to respond in order for you to make thousands! Don t hesitate ..., JUST 30 MIN OF YOUR TIME, THAT S IT THERE IS NO MORE TO DO!! ACT FAST AND GET THE GIFT. We are all apart of this Great Big Family and it helps to foster the HONESTY AND INTEGRITY that MAKES THIS PLAN WORK!! Then share with your other friends and family... how can you lose ????YOUR NAME COULD CYCLE FOR A LONG TIME! THIS MAKES IT THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING. This is excellent seed money to start or expand a business, buy you dream home, car, and pay off whatever bills you may have. Good luck and God Bless. If you play fairly, Good fortune will follow. WHY THIS PROGRAM WORKS: Straight to the point, the reason this program is SO SUCCESSFUL is because when you post this in 50 different message boards, there are only TWO outcomes. (1) A person s birthday will fall on the same half as yours, therefore, YOU GET THE $5 . . OR, (2) a persons birthday will fall on the other half of the timeline, therefore, YOU STAY IN YOUR POSITION and get posted in 50 other MESSAGE BOARDS, etc . .BOTTOMLINE: Either you get the $5 or your name gets passed on for other people to give YOU $5 or pass YOUR name on to other people that will. It makes you think though, the more you post YOUR OWN POSTS, the BETTER the results! 4 FACTORS THAT MAKE THIS PROGRAM SO SUCCESSFUL. . .* EXTREMELY FAST RESPONSE* EXTREMELY HIGH RESPONSE RATE* UNLIMITED PROFIT POTENTIAL* QUICK, SIMPLE AND CHEAP TO GET STARTEDSo there it is. You now have the knowledge that will enable you to make over $10,000 within the next few weeks. The only thing that can hold you back now is a lack of faith or a lack of self-belief. However, any doubts you may currently have will disappear within a few days of putting this plan into practice. Trust me on this! You certainly won t regret it.Best Regards, please feel free to email me with any questions you may have. Feel free to email me at imabeliever2010@hotmail.com The law of attraction works and using the law of attraction and cash gifting only magnifies your benefits. Oh and paypal premier account is free so don��t worry. Be A Blessing..And Be Blessed!!!

How to start a florist shop without any experience? -

How to set up, where, how much ... ??

In setting any business at all,firstly it boils down to your obejctives.what is the perpose of setting it up.Obviously its to earn $ and get the bestest return on your investment ( ROI)...and having answered that,how many % would you want returned on your equity..?:)) and more importantly,How long you want it to be returned.Document all this into your business plan.now with all the figures in your head,start with a comfortable budget.With that budget you might perhaps want to plan out the logistics.Flowers are perishable and therefore,getting equipment to store them,ie Freezers,etc.Then you have to go out and source for both suppliers n clients lor... ok so much for now

If you have no experience, training and expertise in the field, you are a sure loser opening a shop in that area of specialization. You need to know all of your flowers, how long they last, how much demand there is for each type of flower at different times of the year, how to make flower arrangements, where to source wholesale, how much they go for, what equipment you require, and so much more. If you have not worked in a flower shop for several years and taken some management courses as well, you have absolutely no chance of competing with the professionals and you will lose all of your investment.

By gathering up a LOT of money and being prepared to see it all spent and you going broke.Why? Because NO ONE should be starting a business without knowing SOMETHING about RUNNING a business. It is a sure formula for failure.Best bet is to get into the busines by taking a job in a florist shop. LEARN how the owner runs the business. Learn where the florist gets his/her supplies and the wholesale outlets for flowers. Learn how to prepare for each season. It s not just about Valentine s Day, or Mother s Day or Xmas. It s about which flowers are in season and which ones aren t. It s about knowing WHERE to get a plant that just isn t IN season and how much YOU D expect to pay for it. It s about tracking the money being spent and the money coming in. It s about knowing accounting practices, tax law, labor laws, collections, dunning, contracts, and the price of gas in November and how it compares to the price in June.It s about marketing, product preparation, presentation and, guess what? It s about EXPERIENCE. Get it, first.

I would suggest you check out The Small Business Administration (http://www.sba.gov/). This site will be your go-to site for understanding what is needed to start your own business. They provide instructions, guidelines and resources to get your business up and running. Do you have prior experience with flowers and the industry? I would love opening a florist shop, my Mother and I love gardening and planting, so this would be right up my alley! :)I know the thought of opening up a florist shop may be in its very early stages, but you may want to check out or bookmark this site, http://www.l-trondirect.com/ once you get it up and running. My friend recently opened up a small retail store in town and he was looking for barcode scanners to track his inventory and purchasing point-of-purchase equipment, like those electronic signature pads you find at many stores near the checkout. This site was a huge help when it came to equipping the store to manage the product sold, capturing payment methods of his customers and whatnot. You may find this site useful in time.Best of luck to you, I wish you all the success!

As a retail shop owner, can I do payroll by myself? -

Hello! As a retail shop owner, can I do payroll to my employees myself, without any contract with payroll companies?What is the rules and what should I track for tax wise?Thanks for your kind information!

Yes you can, and simple way with quickbooks (Saving some time..)In my experience and Opinion the easy way is to use QuickbooksIf you have it already (and 90% of case you do).. here is the how ..You can do your payroll in QuickBooks without subscribing to the fee-based Intuit Payroll Services, but it means you have to calculate the deductions manually. This can be onerous unless you have only a few employees, and all or most of them are on salary or are hourly workers whose hours don t change every week. Here s how to set up and configure QuickBooks for do-it-yourself payroll services without paying for the tax tables that provide automated paycheck calculations: Choose Edit - Preferences and go to the Payroll Employees section. Select Full Payroll and click OK to close the Preferences dialog. Choose Employees. If this is the first time you ve accessed the Employees menu, the Set Up Payroll window opens automatically. If you ve already begun setting up payroll, choose Employees - Payroll Services - Set Up Payroll. Select Choose a Payroll Option. In the Payroll Setup Options window that opens, select Do-It-Yourself Payroll. At the bottom of the window, look for the sentence that begins If you don t want to use an Intuit Payroll service.... Click the link labeled Learn More. In the window that opens, click the link labeled To Calculate Payroll Taxes Manually. Read (and print) the instructions, and then click the button labeled I Choose To Manually Calculate Payroll Taxes. You re returned to the Payroll Setup Window, where the option to sign up is no longer required. Go through the remaining options to set up your payroll items and taxes. To issue paychecks, select each employee and enter the gross wages. Enter the deductions, using a minus sign for each amount. For federal withholding, use the Tax Rate Schedule or Tax Table from Circular E, which the IRS sends to every employer each year. Hope this help ..Good luck and have a great day..

Creative Ideas On How to Make Some Money? -

I m a college student and I have found it nearly impossible to get any sort of employment. My bank account is nearly empty because I can t find any ways to make any money. I thought i d post this and see if we could find some creative ideas on how to make some spending money and such. Go for it.

1. Step 1 Write effectively for eHow.com. This one may seem obvious, but take a closer look at the previous sentence - there s an emphasis on effectively. If you make the effort to learn from the eHow experiences of experts you ll save yourself a tremendous amount of time and dramatically increase your earnings. 2. Step 2 Design t-shirts. CafePress is a company that will allow you to submit t-shirt designs (funny phrases, pictures, etc.) at no cost to you and if a t-shirt design of yours sells you ll receive a portion of that sale. A perfect no overhead business for creative people. (A link to this website is provided in the Resources Section.) 3. Step 3 Blog about something that interests you. This is completely free and can be both a work at home revenue stream and a fun creative outlet or way to keep in touch with friends. Setting up a blog is extremely easy today. If you can manage an email account (or an eHow.com account) then you can manage a Blogger (Google s blog service) account. Once your blog is up and running apply for Google AdSense to monetize your blog without having to sell a product. 4. Step 4 Sell tickets. Reselling tickets for sporting events and concerts can be a fun and profitable business that you can run out of your house. Thanks to websites like Stubhub.com and eBay you can now sell tickets for events all over the country. Visit PresaleToday.com to find out in advance when popular events are taking place and also find valuable presale passwords for free. 5. Step 5 Sell books. Amazon.com is a great place to sell used books that you already have at your house, find at a yard sale, or find any number of other ways. When I was a college student I found that professors had tremendous amounts of unused textbooks that were free for the taking. Redistributing books online is a great way to share knowledge in a way that s most affordable for the purchaser and profitable for the seller. 6. Step 6 Sell your photos. Visit Big Stock Photo where you submit photos (or artwork) for other people to buy/download. When your pictures are purchased you split a portion of the sale with Big Stock Photo. You can make between 50 cents and $3.00 per download.

Grand Opening Giveaway Contest Question? -

In a few weeks I will open a new business and thinking about doing a special Grand Opening promotion like giveaway a few door prizes. My question is will I break any laws (North Carolina) if I make customers do a minimum purchase in order to enter this contest. Due to the nature of my business, it s does make make a huge different to one customer who spend says $50 and get the same chance as a non-purchased customer. So I was wondering may be if I advertised that a minimum purchase had to be $5 and the customer who purchased $50 worth of good would get 10 entries and have more chances.

Not legal. That woudl be a lottery, not a giveaway/contest. Lotteries are considered gambling. Look at other contests/giveaways - all say no purchase necessary Check the NC website for specific information on information on gaming (gambling) laws.

New business registrations are public record, right? -

Can they be found online, or do I need to go in person to my city hall? Which department? I m in New York City if that matters. My boss wants a whole list of them for business, but I don t think it works like that (I think you re suppose to provide names?). I just wanted to ask. :\

I am pretty sure it would be public info if a person has a business license or not. It s not something that is found online. Anyone can set up a website and even operate a business but it doesn t mean they have a business license. As far as going to the city hall you could do that to see if someone has a business license but I am not sure if they would tell you unless you have a reason for needing to know. I don t think they would provide you with a list of everyone who holds a business license and addresses or anything like that so your boss could solicit them for business. Why else would he need to know who all holds a business license? This is not something you can just go and look at their books or records and find for yourself.

Yes. recorded at county.

I want to start a club at school. Any good ideas? -

I want to start a club at school but i want it to be unique. What type of clubs would you join? Any good ideas?

The guy above me was WAY wrong to ask you what school and what city you belong to. Please do not answer him. That was very inappropriate. I m sure you know but I wanted to warn you just in case. How about:Art ClubGuitar ClubRunning ClubPing-Pong ClubTennis Club Creative Writing ClubKey Club (community service club)Glee Club (singing club)Movie Club (watch and study movies)Peer Aid Club (you have things like bake sales and car washes to help student who join the club with tuition and personal finances; a lot of people would join this one)Theater Club (you could raise money and have frequent opera or theatre field trips: afterschool or on the weekends to build knowledge aabout theatre and their techniques and stuff) Just some ideas to help with your thinking =D

Hi Han, I believe you have a great idea and a great opportunity!!! I had been trying to find a serious, mature, and responsible business oriented club to join myself. I was the President of the International Club of my High School back in NY. To be unique, the first thing to do is to brainstorm about different ways to make it innovative, for example if you are going to begin a business club, within the club, select team and have them research, develop, design and compete among each other to prove the qualities and talents of its members. That is just one idea. Sorry but what is your club idea about, what city and what school? Hope to hear back from you soon!
