Question about opening a gallery and photo studio....? -

Do you need any liscenses or certificates (or anything of the sort) to open/own a gallery, or a photo studio? (Serious answers only) Any information that corresponds with what I am asking, or you think may be helpful, links, etc please let me know. Thank you.

In my home state of New York all I need is a NYS Sales Tax Certificate of Authority. I also needed to file with the county a DBA ( Doing Business As ). Some will use their social security number and you may be given a federal tax ID number. In my case I was given a separate Fed # because I had more than one business.Your state or country may have other requirements.Go to nys.gov for a start. Or your home state.gov

How would I make money quick and easy? -

I have a job but i want to have a way of making more money quickly and easily.*DON T SAY SELL DRUGS!

You can do online things where you answer surveys and they pay you. i would make sure they wont rip you off though

Hello,You could join all kind of online programs but it depends on how much money you want to do.I understand that you want to make money fast and easy. Well, you could try ptc sites and even traffic exchanges accessing the link bellow.I hope that helps.

There is no such way to make money quick and easy. If there were the majority of the U.S. population wouldn t be below the poverty line.Edit: In response to Katy-Jo s comment. Getting paid to answer Surveys online don t work like every one thinks they do. I tried that route myself several years ago. I think the most I made was like less then a $1.

If there were truly that many quick and easy ways to make money, most of us would be doing that now instead of piddling away our time here.I ve had friends who had success selling items on ebay. Alas, most online job offers are scams so be careful of those.Pizza delivery?

Here are some ways you can maybe start taking action immediately:1. Get another part time job2. Freelancing3. Affiliate Marketing (Online Offline depending on your preferences)There are many more ways but those will require more time to learn, prepare and requires capital. E.g. Trading, Internet Business (What I am doing now full time)

i found http://quickcash.lefora.com to be a great site for that... it has one idea that is easy to find...

hmm, the only thing i can think of is like go around your neighborhood asking to rake peoples leaves.

What about trying some luck?

Opening a business/small shop? -

My partner and I were thinking of doing this in a year or so, when the financial side of things has (hopefully) picked up a bit.Anyway we would be selling new age, witchy pagan things,joss sticks, candles, tarot cards that kind of thing.I have some limited retail experience, but what are the main things we need to know to do this.? what essential things should we be aware of when taking it further?We don t expect to make ��millions but to make a living for us both would be good.

It will take a lot of money to open a shop, advertise, etc.Another option is to sell your wares in a consignment shop that is shared with another shop. Since your products are pretty specific, it may be difficult to find a good partner store (it wouldn t pair well with a soap and candle shop for example!)

You will need lots of money to buy / rent / lease a shop, then pay for stock, have you got lots of money?Other thing is, you have to have a shop that people will want to come into, why not give up the physical shop idea and run it from home via the internet. Its much cheaper, no physical shop required.
