Where can I find a good supplier (farmer) of Connecticut shade tobacco leaves? -

I am looking for a long term supplier or grower of tobacco leaves, specifically connecticut shade. I would prefer someone from outside the US but would consider a domestic company if the price is right. If you know anyone or could assist me in finding the right company please help.

I have some seed for shade tobacco but I got it late this year so I didn t grow any of it this season. I suggest you visit the following web site and ask there: http://www.howtogrowtobacco.com

How do I sell my collection of paperback books quickly on ebay in 24hrs? -

Are there any tips on ebay to sell quickly like in 24 hrs?1. I lowered the price by $502. I offered free shipping with UPSWhat should I do now? Should I continue lowering the price? or just wait?

Paperback books do not retain their value at all - you d be best first investigation how much they are really worth by looking up those titles in paperback online (eBay or abebooks) or checking out your local used book store. The vast majority of paperback novels sell for on average just 50 cents, and non-fiction trade around the $2-7 range depending on the subject, rarity, and condition of the books. That of course assumes they aren t signed by the author or anything. All you can do is wait and see, but I worry that since you ve dropped the price by $50 you my have priced them for a lot more than they re actually worth or will sell for.

if they aren t books one person is going to want, there is nothing you can do - even if it sells in 24 hrs doesn t mean you will have the cash in your hand in 24 hrs - it may take a day or two for the buyer to pay thru Paypal and if you want that cash in your bank acct - that s another 2-3 day wait - you may never sell that lot of books - a very low percentage of all ebay auctions actually get a buyer

1.) Promote your item on free sites (that pertain to books, maybe even a chat room about your book series.) 2.) When you sell your item you can list the duration you want to sell it for (if you ve already posted your item go to - revise item - under online auction there s a pull down menu under duration choose - 1 day). Then add a line to subject to get buys motivated - Sale ends in 24 hours! In your description add something like Great gift, buy now to get before the holidays 3.) Always remember to be descriptive as possible and use key words that people may search, this will make your listing come up in more searches. 4) Then wait, most people bid within the last hour (a lot of people use bidding software that bids on their behalf at the last second.)Good luck and happy holidays!

Free Shipping is good. Add the Buy it Now feature so they can quickly finish the transaction and you can get paid.

If the company I work for is a quot;new companyquot;, I have an Important ?..10 PTS BEST ANSWER!? -

Ok..so the company I work for is a new company . They switched to a new company and pretty much took me with them but it s the same employees, and they had the clients sign a release to go to the new company so its pretty much the same clients. Heres my question..they are accusing me of taking cash from a client which I didn t do (the guy wants me out of there). I signed the receipt for the client and gave it to the old boss at the OLD company. They owe me 8k from the OLD company and said they won t give that to me, so can they come after me and fire me for taking money from a client which I didn t do and regardless, with cash, there is no paper trail. I am the one that asked my new boss about it cuz I was worried about the client. Since it happened at the old company, can they fire me or sue me? PLEASE HELP. 10 PTS BEST ANSWER! Thank you sooooo much!

Kind of getting confused with the new new old new... but they need to prove that you took the money from the client. Emails are legal documents. If you have email anywhere saying you are owed the 8k then you can sue them.. what was the release for? that any prior arrangements from the old are null?what money did they say you took? and if there s no paper trail.. and they fire you you can sue for lack of evidence... I would think.. I haven t found anything to back this up but where I work you can t say you did something unless you can produce an email

How do I make a clothing business? -

I am a 13 year old girl wanting to make a clothing/accessories business. I want it to be an on-line, home-based business. But I don t know what to do/ how much money I would need. Please, please HELP ME!!

The first thing is that you ll need an adult to go into business with you. You, as a minor, cannot sign legally binding contracts, which is what you ll need to do in order to open bank accounts, open lines of credit with suppliers, etc, etc. Or you can wait five years, and in that time try to design things, and make them one by one, and try to sell them in person. Most people are cutting back on necessities these days, and have very little disposable income.If you don t know what disposable income is, you need to take some business and economics courses.

my peer Lynn is on the money; you must have a parent work with youby law.while you wait for their permission, get other permission to visita community college that has classes in FASHION MERCHANDISING.I will help you a bit and so can the students in those specificclasses.

I want to start a small T-shirt business but dont know where to go to get grants for the start up.? -

Does anyone know where to begin, the first steps I need to take. I ve designed all my own shirts and have a printing company that will print them for me but I just don t have the money to start.

Give up on grants as you will grow old waiting on one. Anyone who has taken any business classes knows that you do not need capital (so I am going to guess you have not). What you need is sales (or a promise there of). There are 2 ways to do this. Say you have an order for 100 shirts, you can request 25% down and this will cover your production cost. Another way is to take the contract for 100 shirts to the bank. They will see what the profit will be (it should be about 75%) and they will give you a loan for 25% of it. You make the shirts give the printer and suppliers their cut (from the 25%). You then collect the outstanding balance (normally happens in monthly cycles so you will have to make 1 loan payment) pay off the bank keep the rest. With your next order you now have capital to do it without a loan (tho I would always require 25% down).

I googled gov t grants and on source tells me(in Texas) that such grants are non existent due to lack of fundshowever this still is and has been for beau coup years the Small Business Administration that makes loans to small businesses, however, my past experience has been than unless you are asking for $1 Million loan they are not available $1 Million is considered small business

You should start with one of these sites that gives free t-shirt businesses. What you ll have to do is upload your design and market them on the business site they provide to you and when a customer purchases one you ll get a percentage. Try this one zazzle.com. This way you ll make what you ll need to start your own plus you ll know if you have a winning design before you invest money into it.

What type of license must you have for an online business in Michigan? -

My husband and i want to start an online store and we are based out of Michigan. What kind of permits do I need from State of MI and how difficult is it to obtain them??Thanks!

Hi Toxic,You may want to register a business name. Look up the Michigan Secretary of State for the Coporations section. You may need a sales tax license, and a business licence. Many communities don t require a business license for a home based business with no walk in traffic. Some do. Check with your city business license office.Planning is key. In order to plan effectively, you must conduct some research. What do you need to provide your services? Who will you provide them to? Who are you competing against? What makes you better; gives you an edge ? How are you going to reach your prospects/potential clients? Answering these kinds of questions gives you a basis to begin a business plan.You can download my free research outline at www.abusinessmentor.comIt should certainly guide you in the right direction.Good Luck!
