Small Business - July 2006

I have a web site called Catering To Your Needs. The url address is written as cateringtoyourneeds.com. I've had it about a year now. I built it myself and searched out real quality products with what I think are VERY COMPETIVE prices. My products are guaranteed and some even come with a 25 year to lifetime guaranty. I've paid marketing fees, signed up with all the major search engines and tried to make my site as professional as it can be. I ship my merchandise quickly and also respond quickly to any questions. I've seen many fakes out there, but I am the REAL DEAL. My problem is I'm not getting orders. My site isn't even paying for itself. I see that up to 1500 people a month is looking at my site but only about 1% or less are buying anything. I feel I've invested too much money in it to quit, but I can't keep paying all my fees and not be making any money back. Can you PLEASE look at it for me and offer some suggestions on what I'm doing wrong or how to make it better?

I've noticed that when I approach a person I loose words and I forget what to say. Like "Hi my name is (___) and I'm an Avon rep. Avon is a company.... would you be interested in looking at these brochures? This is the latest Campaign, 17".
Eh-hem. So it gets confusing. Any ideas... like should I start telling them about the main top sellers etc. Something that will get their attention and make them want to at least look through the Campaign!? Thanks :)

I work for a Licensed Professional Civil Engineer, who is paying me about a third of my market value. I am an unlicensed environmental engineer. My expertise has allowed my boss to add the word "Environmental" to his business logo. He is limited in experience in what I do. Much of what I do, does not require an engineers license. I want to break away from my boss and start my own business. I just cannot do it, without continuing to work with him at the same time (moonlighting). I would do this legitimately. I would not work during his hours, but he is business savvy and I am afraid of legal problems. (Conflict of interest) Does anyone have an idea what the legal ramifications might be, if he were to discover that I was running my own business, while working for him? I just need advice, this question has been burning in my mind for over a year.

Recently, I have established my very own architectural practice, after gaining some experience working for several firms since university. As a two-year project, I’ve set my goal to create a software-based system for most efficiently running projects and as a result have more time to spend on the creative process. Before I employ new people, I would like to have these streamlined and field-tested to perfection. I’m currently running my practice from home.
My problem is this, nobody knows about me. I’ve been lucky enough to get some work, but it’s not enough. With a limited budget, how could I reach the right people without spending all my studio time running around doing public relations? Has anybody had a similar problem and have any suggestions? Should I employ more people immediately and what is the best way to pay them?

I am looking to expand my clothing company and I was wondering if it is cheaper to have my shirts heat pressed instead of screen printed. If it is, how much would it be for about 100 shirts to be heat pressed?
