How can a stay at home mom earn a little extra cash on a semi regular basis? -

Please don t say get a job I live in a really small town it s near impossible to find a job thanks in advance for suggestions.

I live in a small town so I know what you mean, Trish!There really are a lot of opportunities available once you start to look for them. Part of deciding what to do to earn extra cash depends on what you re interested in. For example if you like to write, providing SEO articles might be a possibility. If you enjoy crafts, maybe you can do something along those lines.A quick, easy way to make a few quick dollars might be to sell excess things you have around the house on eBay. Take a look on eBay to see how similar items are listed and what they re selling for. Then you can sell similar items. Once you get the hang of eBay, you can sell your own items (such as crafts you make) or items you pick up locally from yard sales and similar.Another approach would be to check out books on Amazon. Go to Amazon.com and search for books on part-time income opportunities or part-time businesses or spare time income . Amazon let s you search the table of contents and index of the books so you ll be able to find a whole list of extra cash generators (and probably many that you never thought of). If you find a book that looks particularly helpful, you can buy it or borrow it from your library.These are a few thoughts to get you started. I wish you good luck and would be happy to hear what you decide on.

Trish, if you like the web you should look around for some simple ideas. The great thing about the internet is that it doesn t matter how big or small your town is ;)I ve from 5 yrs of research that there are a lot of good solutions for anyone to stay at home and earn extra money, but the most important thing is finding something that you are passionate about. Otherwise you will lose interest and give up on what you re doing which will put you back at step 1. I found this interesting site that has a TON of ideas on it that you might want to check out, hope it helps.

Hey!Basically, there are 2 ways:1)BloggingBuild a blog, create a brand, sell advertisement space... it is fun, but it takes a bit of time. If you are not sure how to do this, I would start with the Blog Mastermind course by Yaro Starak. Here, i found some info about his course:http://making-money-blogging-mastermind.��2)Affiliate marketingIf you don t want to blog, learn sell products (without spending a dime). If you are not sure what to do, I would go through the Stephen Pierce s course, because he is getting great feedback. Again, if you need some info first:http://make-money-working-at-home-mrmi.b��

I know there are a lot of scams out there so be careful! Don��t listen to the people though who say they are ALL scams. They are not actually ALL scams, just a lot of them are! LOL! In fact Yahoo Finance says that for every 1 legitimate home based opportunity there are 57 scams!At any rate��I am actually a nurse and I love working outside the home but I know a lot of people want or need to work from home. About 2 years ago my sister finally found a legitimate company that��s been in business for 20 years. I don��t know too much about it but she��s been doing it for 2 years now, about 20 hours a week and she makes about $40,000 a year. I know it��s legit because they have dozens of fortune 500 partners, they are members of the US Chamber of Commerce and of course, I��ve seen her paychecks, LOL! She says she loves it! She gets to stay home with her kids which is pretty cool! It��s not a job working for someone else but instead she sets her own schedule and she determines how much she makes. The more she puts into it, the more she gets out. I wish jobs were like that because I know I work way harder than some of the nurses here who are getting paid the same as I am! LOL I hope this helps you! Good Luck in your search!-Michelle

Things I look for in a business are free or low cost to join, free or low cost to run, some level of training and/or support, a website or information on how to create one, and a simple duplicatable business success system. The company and people should support and train you because when you make money they make money. I really like businesses that can be run part time, from home, and online.

I do some part time online work, its really boring and the only thing that convinced me it wasn t a scam was the fact that it didn t ask for any more information than an email, name and address. No credit/debit or bank account information needed.I m not going to tell you will make enough to live off of though some members do I make around 20-50 dollars a month. THis month I hope to have 30 by monday at midnight (the last day of the month is the cut off) and I will recieve a check around 12-23 or 12-27 (holidays slow down mail)I just put in 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on my homework housework and kids a night.Check it out give it a month and if you aren t satisfied then you can cancell your account with no problemsbit.ly/makemoremoney

My mom does daycare. Before that, she work at a dentist office.

I have an invention and i dont have money to patten it . what do i do? -

i know pattening something cost a lot and im young and broke. but i have a great invention that would make life just a little easier, is their a company that would do it for me if they liked it enough and i get some % of profit . THANKS PEOPLE!

Call the Invention Submission Corporation. They will help you patten your idea, but you have to share royalties with them.

you really have to access your invention/idea, if it s going make a profit when you patten it, and how serious you are about commercializing it. There are people who sponsor these kind of entrepreneurship, they are the Venture Capitalists. However, they will take a big chunk of your business, normally 50%. Sometimes the banks sponsor it too, but you need a solid business plan to convince them. Keeping the patten every year is very expensive, unless your invention can generate a constant stream of cash flow, please don t do it, it s a very risky business.

You have the answer....someone rich or a rich company will have to agree to finance the project. YOu ll have to convince them it will be worth their investment.

How much money do I need saved up to open up my own business (a clothing store)? -

thanks

Your Small Business Administration can help figure out your business plan and help you with calculating the costs.Lets start with the basics: inventory, utilities, fixtures and rent.Rent is the most important to consider. Figure $40/square foot for most places, $120/square foot for a mall location. You might want to call a few of those numbers on the For Lease signs to get a better ballpark for your part of the country. Triple net is something to beware of. The net is on-going maintenance and landscaping fees charged by the landlord. It is divided up by the tenants based on the % of total square footage each tenant rents.Utilities are pretty much set. Contact your utility companies and ask what the monthly bills were for the locations you are considering. Add about 10% to the numbers they tell you. Add in security services to your utilities section.Fixtures are the clothing racks, checkout counters, cash registers, etc, that you will want for your shop. You can find stores that sell these items and start pricing them in your area; look under business supplies and store fixtures/shelving in the yellow pages.Inventory is your area expertise, you should be able to estimate how much the inventory will cost.With those done, lets move to the advanced things: employees, insurance, professional fees and permits.Permits are your sales tax permits and tax exemption numbers. These are usually one time fees paid to your state.Professional fees are what you pay for the lawyer to help you set things up and your accountant to keep your books straight. Figure about $1000 for the first year for the set up and $400 annually for the book keeping.Insurance will vary by where you are and how much coverage you want. Call insurance brokers in your area for ballpark figures.Employees will cost you more than you think. Even at minimum wage, plan on $14 per hour for an employee to cover insurance and taxes you have to pay. My estimate might be high, but it is better to over estimate instead of falling short, plus it will help cover extra employees during the holiday seasons.

How easy is it to sell on eBay? -

In terms of demand...for example, if I want to sell baseball cards, will I have a hard time?

^^^ Step 3 on that wiki page is very important... Research your market .You have to look at the baseball card category (or whatever) and watch the auctions as they end. See how many end with no bids at all. See how many end with really low prices. Study the category carefully.Oh, and watch out for scammers. Good luck!

No it s not hard and it get s easier as start to sell things more often and build trust with the eBay community. You need to have a PayPal account probably. I ll just let this page go into detail for you.http://www.wikihow.com/Sell-on-eBay

HIYou should be open an account in any payment gateway. Then you can easily sell your product and if you want to buy some thing to online than you can use http://www.bid66.com.

quot;Can I Patent A Product Before The Product Is Made And Prototyped?quot; Also..Approx. What Does A Full Search Cost? -

What does a full thorough search cost with a patent clerk? I am assuming.. patent clerks are cheaper then attorney fees? I am trying to spend as little possible to have a professional fully..... search for the product? Also.........There are So... So... Many Similar Products that duplicate one another or come out after others have been out.. (Is there some type of stipulation about this .. or a clause.. for example: Shampoos.. There are many that are say.. Apple. Does changing by law .. one ingredient... or two.. (Rule?) .. make it patentable?Category

If you re in the UK, visit the IPO (Intellectual Property) site. They provide a lot of useful free help and advice on this. They also run free events around the country. We went to one in London and it was really useful.Good luck!

Full search at the US Patent Trademark office online is free.Is it more thorough? Depends on what search words you use.Similar products? Yes, you can make an IMPROVEMENT of an existing product and patent it.Yes you can file a patent without a prototype but it s more difficult to convince a manufacturer to license it without a prototype.You may want to file a Provisional Patent first (marks the date at USPTO and gives you 1 yr to see if it s marketable) and see if there is any interest with manufactures before filing the actual patent.Of course you can always manufacture yourself - then you ll need investors. That s another ball of wax altogether.

What are the financial benefits, if any, to hiring family to help get a new business off the ground? -

Enter more detail here (Optional)

I couldn t resist this question as it brings me back to my childhood, growing up as a part-time worker in a family business. While my parents must have thought about putting the kids to work as a financial matter, I don t think that was their main motivation. And I wonder whether it should be yours.Here s how it played out for me. I was just entering my teens when my parents bought their first motel, which was both a business and our home for about five years. Helping out in the business wasn t presented as an option; my parents didn t ask me whether I wanted to work. We all pitched in doing both the menial jobs like cleaning a room when a housekeeper didn t show up and those I thought were fun like checking in guests, designing brochures or even handling the payroll. My parents always paid me. And I got a pretty decent understanding of money at a young age. Still, I often resented the work or was embarrassed by it. I went to school with a lot of kids who didn t have to work, and as a teen wanting to fit in, my life looked pretty different from the lives of other kids with part-time jobs. Even when I resented it though, I knew it was valuable stuff. I even wrote my college entrance essay on living above a motel and working in a family business. When I look back at the experience, I see many benefits, not just the financial ones that probably flowed to my parents from having help on hand. That all said, there can be huge downsides to working with family. Which is why there are legions of consultants and psychologists who specialize in counseling members of family businesses run amok. I saw some of the challenges of working with one s children. But hiring or working with adult family members or even spouses, raises different kinds of tensions. If you re considering hiring a family member, I d think past the issue of whether it will benefit you financially and ask some other questions. Will you be able to communicate with a family member the same way you d need to communicate with an employee? Will the working relationship complicate the family one? Will you be able to provide the family member with opportunities to learn and build skills that could be useful elsewhere? Good luck.

In some businesses you can hire family cheaply or not pay them at all...for instance in a restaurant business they can work for tips or for nothing but at the end of the day they will have food to eat because you will be buying in bulk.
