Gosh, R14, I think it may be a long shot. I wonder about the demand like your friends do ;-)I think you have the right idea in starting small. The library is a good idea. How would you get the word out? You could put up fliers on free bulletin boards and maybe have the library promote your services. Perhaps they could promote it as a service for busy moms who need a few minutes away from their kids while they re using the library computer, picking out books, etcetera.Another thought might be to provide this service at churches so the kids are occupied by your story reading while the parents are attending church.If your business takes off, these and similar approaches would be good ways to build a following. If it doesn t work out, you won t have invested a lot of money in finding out it s not viable - just a bit of your time.It s an interesting concept. I d be interested in hearing how it turns out. I wish you good luck!
I think it is a great idea. If you target it to the right audience. Actions usually lead into another action.Meaning the idea we start with usually isn t the idea we end up with.Go For it
Look for places that a lot of foot traffic of the kind of people you want to target.Moreover, look to be next to, or in close to...areas that have say, food store..and you have clothing store....or your have hair salon, and you are next to clothing store...And the food store is on the other side...Then find out how much the product cost;Then find out how much your rent might be.Add this up, and add some for electricity..etc.Then you get the gross number, and divide this into 30 days..then you have an abstraction...( hypothetical number) of what your starting fees will be....you have not sold anything yet, you are just starting to get an idea of costs.______________________________________��Then divide the 30 day gross into days....in summary, you have now the daily cost (gross)Then you add in the labor rate..and workers compensation, federal taxes on employers for employees, and state disabilty, and state tax, and social security..in other words this topis labor burden is around, generally 40% of your labor rate.In other words, in nice round numbers...if you pay someone $10. per hour...your actual costs will be $14.00 per hour.Your store will be open for 12 hours per day = $168. for labor for one day.Say your lease is 50. per day, your electrical is $5.00 per day...so your rough daily cost labor and the rent/lease..etc. is $223. per day.Times the daily of $223 times 30 days = $ 6,690.So, you need to see what your product costs at the whole sale level..and you look at the price range your competors are charging...say they buy shoes for 10. and sell for 15.This is 5.00 per sale...you would need to sell 44.6 pairs of shoes per day...223. divided by 5.00=44.6 units. ( To break even.) You would need to sell 1,338 units per mo. to break even...If you want to get real scientific...you take your floor space...say 1,000 feet...and divide that by 1,338 units..in other words...each foot of floor space would need to make $1.30 per month...to break even.In summary, I do not know what you are going to sell, but look at what other busness is doing...the sales..the floor space..what they would need to sell per day..Then you have a hypothetical situation to work with...then add something into your equation for unforeseen events..like paying someone who you fired unemployment for a year....is this fun or what?I have a business, I work by myself sometimes.My truck, monthly payment, insurance, and advertising uis all added up for 30 days...then divided into 1 day, so I know what I need to make each day...then for that one day, I add in what my materials will costs...say 100. for materials..and 75. for the truck, etc..This is 175 for the day to breal even..so I am trying to make 500 that day....thus I charge 675. for the job..for that one day..you get the idea..30 days...30 days is something like I dont work for 5 days that mo.So, I add up the costs for 30 days, and divide this into 25 days..so, I know what each day cost..to start the whole thing over agian...maybe I dont work for 25 days...and I see a job that I can charge 15,000..i then divide 15,000 into 30n days -the costs, this yeilds my daily profit...You can go crazy doing this........______________________________________��
It s funny I found this post. Me and my wife were looking into things like this now. I bought a Amazon parrot many years ago from a parrot place. After going from pet store to pet store trying to find a bird with no luck. I found a breeder and was put on a waiting list. I waited and waited -no luck Then I ran across a parrot place and in a very short time he had the bird I wanted. My wife is a dog person and was looking into a dog franchise. It s three times the money and you have to pay them a royalty fee. About two weeks ago I told her to call the Parrot Place for info. We both decide to go this route. Reasons are when I was looking for a bird at the pet store I was dealing with a 16 year old kid with no knowledge whatsoever. The two stores are now closed, the breeder is no longer around but the Parrot Place and its affiliates are still in business
If you re willing to consider an online-based option, there are a few companies to choose from. You may wish to compare CafePress, Printfection, Zazzle, or Spreadshirt. CafePress was the pioneer in online print-on-demand t-shirt manufacturing.Print-on-demand t-shirts usually cost more per unit than traditional printing but there is no minimum order. It can be a worthwhile trade-off because it guarantees you won t get stuck with boxes in your basement if the shirts don t sell. Another benefit is that you can test market your designs before doing a larger run.The print-on-demand option levels the playing field for people who only want to create personal shirts or cool one-off designs. But it s also scaleable and you can make your designs available online for anyone to buy, from anywhere in the world. Some promotional companies discretely source their shirts this way and can actually make more money than working with a 3rd party supplier.all the best!Bryan
You will do well in the business you decided to do. Setting up any business is great for anyone wanting to escape the nine to five grind and becoming your own boss. What are you interested in? Below are some ideas.1. Online business - Involves low start-up capital and minimal running costs. Three types you can make from is e-commerce. With an e-commerce site you sell a product or service. Customers buy directly from your site, and the products are then either delivered to them or downloaded. Or Advertising �C with this type of site, the aim is to get as many visitors as possible, increasing the amount of customers your advertisers reach. Content on this kind of site is usually completely free or you charge the site user per advert they place.2. Catering - You can set up your own catering company whether it s catering for a major sporting event or a low-key wedding, the need for food and drink at gatherings doesn��t doesn��t go out of fashion. 3. Courier company - If you need a parcel delivered quickly, then maybe e.g Royal Mail simply doesn��t do the trick. With many businesses needing a fast, efficient delivery service, why not start a courier company up?Other ideas: Dog walking, Gift shop, Photography business, Restaurant, Florists.
Any business is a good one to start if you:have identified a real need in the marketplace that is not currently being filled satisfactorily;have a passion for the product or service involved;are personally motivated and ready, willing and able to devote the time, energy and money necessary to succeed;There are no easy businesses that will guarantee your success. You are the determining factor. There are successful businesses in retail, manufacturing, service, agriculture, restaurants and any other category you can name. There are even more unsuccessful businesses in each of these same categories. The critical factor for success is the individual who runs it, not the business itself.

Depending on the market you are thin king of, your specific location and the maturity and sophistication of your environment, both are good prospects. Though, the real estate piece would propel you faster towards wealth creation. At the moment, the real estate market is soft ... and should be in the foreseable future (5 to 10 years). So how about starting off by being a sales agent, build up your savings and then open the conveniece store while still working. Review your progress there and then maybe as the real estate market picks up you can decide to open your own office. Where is your passion at?
