Name my business! Creative and unique? -

I m going to do small crafting work. I ve done many floral projects from wedding decorations to prom bouquets. (Fake flowers) I basically want to do any crafting. With Christmas coming up I can make personalized Christmas decorations for presents. Then when it s prom season I can make corsages, boutonnieres and bouquets of fake flowers so they last throughout the evening.I d love your unique and creative ideas for a business name!My name is Lindsay if you want to incorporate that, but you don t have to.THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Brainstorming Tips for Creating a Name:Any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party and/or may be trademarked so I wanted to go a different route...Here s a few things to keep in mind:1) Keep your industry, your clients/customers, your advertising plan in mind. 2) The more unique distinctive a name, the higher the chances that the name is legally available for use. And the higher the chances of obtaining the trademark.3) Think of your business as having a personality. What kind of image do you want your business to portray? Specific brainstorming tips:Think about what you want but more importantly, think about what you DON T want. If you don t want a 3-word name, don t bother with those. If you don t want non-English words, don t bother with those so on and so forth.What are the types of names you like? Think about words in their simple forms, e.g. adjectives, Latin roots, mythological names, etc. Compile a listing of the types then seek out resources, such as books or sites, which specialize in those types.Here are some links where you can do some preliminary name checking:http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/index.js�� �C Click Search Marks: USPTO �C Preliminary Search of Federal trademarkshttp://www.statelocalgov.net/50states-se�� --Go to your state s Secretary of State page to see if they have a searchable database of business nameshttp://www.hoovers.com/free/ http://www.thomasnet.com �C Must register (free) to search their databasehttp://www.nameboy.com �C Domain name searchhttp://yellowpages.superpages.com/yp.adv�� �C National yellow pages; leave location blank to search nationwide However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what s out there. Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free a great place to start, so I d try them out first. This entails searching the pending registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark. Hope that helps! I wish you much success happiness in all your ventures!

What are some drawbacks of having a child care business in your home? -

The main one is liability issues. If a child gets injured (or the parents claim that their child was injured), you will be facing a lawsuit. So you will definitely need a hefty liability insurance bond.

How can I make money from ebay? -

I m only 16 but I want to make a little bit of extra money selling things on ebay. What is the best way to do this? I don t mind investing money to start it off

The same way as any retail establishment does...buy low, and sell high. Your problem lies in figuring out where to buy stuff cheap, and what to buy, and what price to start the bidding on. You are also going to have problems because you re a minor, and can t legally make binding contracts.Just because something is cheap, or is a collector s edition , doesn t mean that you can turn it around and sell it for big bucks. You have to educate yourself about what you want to buy and sell, just like any other merchant. For instance, I know where to find decent used books that are likely to re-sell for a lot more than I paid for them. However, I know how to rate the condition of books, and I know which books are likely to re-sell and which are just going to never sell unless I price them at a dime or a quarter each.

You have to be expert in selling on ebay.You have to know how much you are been charged for add.Look for free add on ebay.How are you going to deliver the goods. You should know something about the postage or delivery system.Some times one looses money than making money.

Anything useful lying around the house that you don t need is a good way to start off. You ll be surprised by what people need and want. As long as your honest with your description, you can get ride of any unwanted items.

If i m not mistaken, you have to be 18 to sell stuff on ebay.

Sell things for more than you pay for them.End of.

You need to be 18 or over to sell on ebay. Sorry :-(

Why do people sell stuff for 1 cent on ebay? -

I ve bought several things from ebay for 1 cent or 6 cents, with free shipping. Most of the time it s just stupid little things like phone jacks, hard drive cables, or things that aren t worth much, but with free shipping, I m literally sending 1 cent or 6 cents to the seller, who then has to mail me the item, which I m sure costs a lot in postage, especially since most of them are from Asia or somewhere else internationally.Occasionally I ll get CDs for 25 cents, or other items where the price doesn t even cover a single postage stamp, with free shipping. It would be cheaper for these sellers to throw their stuff in the trash rather than send it to me. I m wondering why people would do this instead of setting their start price at least high enough to cover shipping.

More than once I have won 1 cent auctions and then my email filled up with ads from the sellers. Its a way to get repeat business.What I love are the items that sell for a penny, with $9.99 shipping....:)

They don t mean to sell stuff for 1 cent. 1 cent is the cheapest listing price for things on ebay. What happens is that people don t bid on the item or 1 person does and noone else.
