How do you publish a book...with no money? -

Amazon allows publishers to use on-demand book publishing services. Instead of having to print 1,000 or more copies, you can print them one at a time. The per-book cost is obviously higher, but you don t have the up front investment or inventory to worry about.Your only costs will be getting some professional page design software (like Adobe In-Design) and learning how to use it. In Design is not cheap, allow about $400 or more for that. It is also not easy to use so you will have to take an online class for $100 or so.

You can self publish the book or you can try to sell the book through book publishers. Either way, get to the library for books that will help you find out the processes and procedures. A book publisher (legitimate, there are alot of scams out there) will give you money upfront and royalties on sales. The publisher can then help with the marketing. If you self-publish you will make more money on your sales but you ll have costs associated with that marketing and advertising. You have options but making the right decision isn t always easy.

I type really fast. Is there a way to make money from home with this? -

I type really fast. Is there a way to make money from home with this??

You could start a completely free home based online business.

YOU cannot GET a JOB online or at home ! UNLESS YOUR willing to perform a task and that person pays YOU for doing that JOB !However YOU can join a Business and YOUR Job is to apply YOURSELF and do what they teach YOU to DO !BUT DO NOT spend MONEY to JOIN any such company !Many are FREE and 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 ! BUT many legit online biz s will provide with all the tools YOU need for FREE !EVEN if YOU cant 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 sucess TO teach YOUR people to DUPLICATE what YOU were taught to DO !THATS YOUR JOB to Mentor YOUR people or GET them active with the training calls and support team as YOU guide them along !HEY i been doing this FOR Years 11 years now at home !Source(s):11 yrs experience

Legit data entry jobs are few and far between, not to say it isn t possible but most, if not all of them have mile long waiting lists. You can find some here, http://www.athomeopps.com but again they are likely to have waiting lists. Another option would be freelance writing or blogging. If you can think of ideas for articles and combine that with your typing abilities you could turn out articles super fast, and the faster you make them, the more you can make.

Unfortunately not anymore. With voice recognition software and the fact that 80% of people in the USA can type, it s not needed as an outside job anymore.

You can start a typing business?

How did it feel when, starting a new business, you made your first sale? -

I ve always had little side businesses, even as a kid, but am starting a new newspaper and, based on reputation alone, already sold enough advertising to cover most of the initial startup costs. I m pretty sure that this publication will be a success. (Most of my side businesses were labors of love, but this one may actually create some pocket change!)Were you excited when you made your first sale with a new business?

While working as a police officer,(many years ago) I built one or two houses a year myself without borrowing money. One of the proudest moments was the sell of that first house. Later when my wife and I open two larger home building companies, it was great when at closing that check in your name was handed to you. Good luck my friend.

First of all, I just want to wish you ALL THE BEST w/your new endeavor, Eddie, I m SURE you WILL do VERY WELL. You have the know how , the drive , the brains to know how to make things happen. I m SURE this WILL be a success for you. Yes, I DO so well know the feeling of your first sale. My ex husband started a Swimming Pool business, opened a retail store which I did the overseeing of, plus payroll, plus actually helping on the physical end of installations too. It turned into a multi million dollar business. I DO remember the first container of chemicals I sold at the store when I was all alone had to make change from a $50 bill for a $5 item...lol So I too well KNOW all the good feelings BENEFITS from starting your own business...good luck to you, Eddie, all the best...:)

All the best for the future, Eddie.......I felt great and proud of myself..... ran a desk top publishing centre for nearly 10 years...It was a small unit with 4 girls and 1 office boy to assist me.....I still have the drive and the confidence to start a business now but hubby wont let me.

i almost fell over picking all those $1 s and $5 s and a few $20 s off the stage before i left!! :))

I was..........I was finally free of working for someone else!A Relief

How do i approach a modelling agency? -

I would like to do modelling but i havent got the look for a high fashion model, more like a commercial model. I have contacted quite a few and the only ones who have come back are the ones who are trying to rip me off. Does anyone have any tips? Thanks

Dont pay any fees to an agency, the fee they take should be a pecentage of your earnings.

There are several ways to get the contact of those agencies. You can get in local Newspapers, Magazines or you can make search in Google. You will get lots of Modelling websites. Btw do not forget to add place, state, country name in your search phrase.

Try and find a great photographer to do your portfolio for this. If you ve done it yourself it won t cost as much make sure you have the right outfits in your portfolio. Evening wear, Swimwear, day wear etc.,

Successful small business owners - what is your best advice for someone starting out only 2 years in? -

I d love to hear what has helped you the most to be successful in your field.thanks!

If you are starting in two years then you are best to do a course in running a small business. Learn about tax requirements. Banking facilities, Wages Salaries, Insurance, sales marketing.A small business can vary from a retail shop to a trades person. You must determine your prduct viability within the market before you proceed. Perhaps do a survey, either online, door to door, or a mail-out.Also, the goods and service you provide will need to be reputable and popular unless you are providing to a special market then you will need a high profit margin.High volume sales are maintained by providing a low cost but the damages and faulty stock returns may impede some of your profits. Don t spend excessively on fancy shop fittings till you know the goods or services will be successful for you.Don t start your business if you have no assets or savings. You can start a business on less than $5000 but, remember that your income will need to be derived from the profits and if there are no sales for the first few months, due to setting up processes, you will need income to support you till the businesses is fully operational. Cost out the expected operational expenses for the day, week, month, year. Take into account that gas electrictiy, rent, car expenses, phone internet, wages, insurances, must be part of your costing.
