Should I write my own business plan or should I have a company do it? -

Depends on what your intentions are. If you re looking for someone else to partner or invest in your company, then you should have it professionally done. Otherwise, nobody knows your intentions better than you.

How do I sell on e-bay? -

Can I take pictures on my phone for example and then how do I download to my e-bay account.Do I use the same e-bay account that I have for looking at products etc., or do I need to do something else?. Thanks!

Hello.You can use the same eBay account for looking at things and selling things. For selling things, you can take pictures on your phone but I don t think the quality would be that good (unless you ve got a good camera phone), if you do you have to upload the photos to your computer somehow. Using a digital camera might be easier, or you don t have to have a photo with your product, but having a photo is better.When you are selling something you fill out the name of it, condition, brand etc. You then write a description (optional) about it, and you add photos. Adding photos it just says add photos and you find it on your computer and click upload I think. You then set the price and make it But It Now or set it as an auction (you can set a beginning auction price). You also do the postage options and everything.Hope I helped!

How can I create a intimate apparel line? -

I am guessing I should start by sketching out my ideas. What do I do next? I can t sew. Do I find a seamstress and ask him/her to design it for me? I m not too sure how to go about this. And what do once the seamstress designed my product just how I want it. Is this going to be the same person to make all of the products that I start to sell?

Perhaps a bit more specific research is in order, not just asking how do I do it on Yahoo answers. Starting a line is quite complex, requires an investment of time and plenty of money and you should have a good solid understanding of business, fashion design, clothing construction, manufacturing, marketing and the many steps in taking a line from concept to finished products for retail. It s far too complex for a simple Yahoo answer. You might want to start here: http://www.fashion-incubator.com/ and check out the book she is selling. no, you do not find a seamstress. A seamstress or dressmaker isn t always a fully qualified fashion designer nor do they know about drafting and grading patterns, nor will they know commercial production requirements. They can make your perfect wedding dress but they won t know about grading, markers, spec sheets, production costing etc. not even sketches huh? maybe you need to start at he same square one many professional designers start at: learn to draw, learn to sketch, learn to sew, go to fashion college and take the intimate apparel stream and learn what you need, graduate, work for another designer for a while or strike out on your own. It s the way real designers and successful designers do it. If it sounds like a lot of really hard work, it is. it isn t easy. But if fashion is what you love it is the best hard work in the world.

What are the commission-offering rates for companies such as Avon, Mary Kay, PartyLite, etc? -

Do you know of any other relatively good companies? I am actually really interested in PartyLite, but I am trying to find all the commission rates for these companies. Thank you. :-)

The rates vary by company but I would say the average is probably 25-30%. When comparing companies, I d recommend looking at other factors too though. A higher commission rate on a lower priced item might not earn you as much as a little lower rate on a higher priced item. Also take into consideration what your expenses will be. For example, some companies provide hostess benefits; others don t. And some companies charge a fee for a company website.You can find many of the commission rates in the directory atInternetBasedMoms.com/direct-sales and similar directories.

I do not have the answer to your questions but I would like to take this opportunity to show you a company who is offering a business better than the above minus selling to people face to face. All you need is an internet connection and commitment. If you are interested, please visit this site : www.freedom.ws/thessb11 and let me know what you think about it.I will be glad to assist and help you grow this business.My yahoo ID is thess_bermudez11. You can add me to your contacts if you have questions.God bless!Thess

With Avon you make 20-50% commission. Contact me for more info. Sherine4avon@gmail.com

Tips for selling on ebay? -

i have mainly books and stuff to sell, but i can t seem to sell it.i ve already had to re-list this book because it didn t sell.any tips are welcome.

It is very hard to sell books unless they are rare or popular because there are thousands of them on EBAY. You can make your llsting look better with an image host and good looking text. Offer both media mail and Priority Mail, or ask a higher price and offer free shipping. Before Xmas that might help. Offer discounts on multiple items. Accept returned items, less shipping which is only $4 for a book. Ship international. Definitely fill in the Item Specifics. Take good pictures of the book. Choose auction rather than Buy It Now. Make sure your title has a lot of search words and fill the whole line. I know a sub-title helps but I hate to spend the $ for a cheap item. I have had to list some items 3 and 4 times. Remember, you can have 5 free items every 30 days. There is more info on EBAY help pages.

Have you looked at completed listings to see how much the book has sold for in the past? You may be asking too much for it, or there isn t a market for it .....at this time. How was your description? Did you include any photos? I would research this a little and then list it as a Fixed Price or a Buy It Now.

check the ending price on similar books. Usually, free shipping and low starting bid attract buyers but if the books are not a high demand, you might end up loosing money if you don t have a reserve. At the same time, if you do have reserves, it turns buyers away. I would say check the demand and then decide if you can afford a lose to attract more potential buyers. good luck!
