Advice for becoming self employed Please? -

I need someone to tell me the things I need to start a business. I want to work on my own with no other person and clean houses. I just don t know where to start or what to do?

First, find out whether there are any others in your area dooing this (house cleaning). Next if they are a company, then find out their rate and whether they are strong enough to make work difficult for you.Next find out the rate charged - both for bringing your material and for using the house owner s since some people like to use only their material.Maintain detailed accounts of all expenses and income.Invest maoney back in the business.End

It s not as hard as some would think. so, here is two suggestions.One, my buddy is giving away a FREE mp3 full of great content on how to start your own business or improve one you already have. here is the link... http://hmark.thesecondtier.com/thevideoGreat content that you can listen to while you are out and about.Two, my wife and I started a business this summer and made $5000 in 60 days. We thought about creating a franchise but decided to sell a package to help other stay at home moms or dads earn extra income. The package isn t available until after the first of the year. It will be very very affordable and we are going to offer a money back guarantee. So, if you are interested in more details, email me at markhoward101@yahoo.comMark

You will need a lot of info - a business plan, an idea of what type of business, the financing, whether or not the business will flourish in the economy now, etc, etc....there are articles online that will be of great benefit to you, even some in the Yahoo (not YA) Finance section. My example was being in the produce business - it was very good, until trying to compete with major corporations ran me out of biz

You couldn t have picked a worse time.

Online jobs??? working from home? -

so im really curious to know if there really are any real online jobs that you can work at home. i see all these scams that try to make you buy kits and say that you can make lots of money.!!! and they all sound really great but they all seem to have a catch.Dont get me wrong im not trying to find a get rich quick deal. i just want to use it as an extra job. so i can make some extra money even if its not that much. all the ones i find on the internet always want you to send them money which i dont understand. when you start a new job they dont make you pay them for training. they pay you because they make money because of you so i dont see why i should have to pay to start. what i guess im really asking is if there really are jobs! real jobs that you can work online at home and make decent money. if there are what are they?? how can i get started and do you know someone who does it or do you do it? and how much do you make.I really dont want to get riped off. i know that alot of these things are scams and i really dont want to fall prey.thanks for the help!

We can t answer this, we have no idea what yo our skills and education are.If you want a real job apply at real companies that have real openings for your profession. Explain in your cover letter that you want to work at your home office.

There really are jobs but I would be careful there are many scams out there, I would encourage you not to go to any of the links that are being provided in the answers. You should talk to a real person over the phone and not some one from Nigeria or some other 3rd world country.

Money for business venture? -

I own my home but not much equity left in it after the deposit (damn recession) I need to raise a few thousand to start a business. I am considering a partner but I still need to put in a share. Any ideas where to go for money? Any alternative sources? all suggestions welcome. TIA

You could try taking your business plan to the bank and asking. But even so they would still want to see you putting in a contribution of you own money.If you borrow off market the interest charges will be horrendous.Have you any family that are prepared to take the risk with you. If you are really keen and positive it will be a success then you do have the option of selling it to raise whatever small amount is there. That will show real commitment and that bank may then help you.
