Small Business - October 2006

I am going to start my own business. I am going to have about 3 or 4 employees including myself.
Can I do payroll and book keeping or do I have to have some sort of schooling for that ? and is it hard?
I was never a good math student!

I have a small consulting firm and need a business name and .com website address. I would love to find something that is only 1 or 2 words and with a cool meaning. A word not common in the US would be great!! I primarily work with small and medium size businesses on business development, human resources, recruitment, and growth strategies.

I've seen plenty of advertisements schemes where you get to stuff envelopes or to sell stuff I don't care about. I'm not interested in those. I don't have very many spare evening hours (and my kids demand my attention), but we need a little extra cash. Any suggestions on a non-capital-intensive way to turn my skills into a weekend and evening commodity?

Bonjour,

I have a new product with a new site. The target is pretty wide, any adult can buy my product. This is a poster set of 2 posters, they are black and white and movie poster size, 27x40.

I do want to sell them for $28 a a set, both poster will be for sale a a lot because it will be: "buy this one, get the second free". They do complete each other. Shipping will be at real cost plus $1 for a total of $6.50.

$34.50 total cost for the buyer for one set of 2 poster. $49.95 will get him 2 sets of 2 poster with free shipping.

I'm planning on a marketing budget of $10 per product in Marketing on Adword.


I do believe in a strategy of exposure. The more visitors I will get, the more sale I will make. Can I get an average of 5 cents a click for my campaign? If I could make 1 sales per 200 Clicks, this will cost me this way 10$ cost of sales and this will allow me to do a lot more on Adword again...

My cost per set of poster is less than $5 everything included, everything. Means tha

My Ebay store wasn't getting any traffic so I had to pay my fees with my regular pay check. Most people will wait 28 days for a bill to be paid but paypal charged my checking account $192 17 days after I was issued the bill. Is there anything I can do to stop Paypal or at leat get the overdraft charge from them? They are the scum of the earth.

I am 42 years old and want to retire in 5 years to a quiet life with my wife. We are looking at a place in the Pakistani mountains and would like to convert it into a luxury family run guest house that will be open 6 to 7 months a year (it is snowed-in in the other months). The idea is to earn enough in those months and then move back to our house in the city, relax, travel etc. in the off months. Good idea? What does it take? What can we expect?

Hi Everyone,
I own a jewellery website which I've just started marketing in my local newspaper and had no response at all and believe that perhaps I targeted the market blindly or competion is fierce.

I have now decided to go into party planning where people actually
see and feel the products and I will also sell watches and handbags.

I have spoken to a ann summers party planner which is always taking bookings for parties and is keen to sell my products.

I will also get other party planners involved in this.

Can anyone out there give me some advice on this matter and how I go about party planning?

Thank you very much

I'm looking for a time sheet that after inputing data will then generate the spead sheet totals for me. I have listed the info that I will be inputing below:
1. Clients Business that service was provided for.
2. The number of times per wk. the service is provided.
3. Start service date.
4. Amount due for each client for each week.
5. Crew Names.
6. Amount paid to employee.
7. Date employee was paid.
Currently I have approx. 5 business names and 4 or 5 employee names to enter in this spread sheet (table). I have Excel but I find it difficult to use. I was hoping someone could refer me to a program that has a table already created, all I have to do is customize it. Oh yeah, it would be really cool if it's free also.

I am want to start a non-profit that assists adults 25 and older that are going back to school and are survivors of life threatening diseases.

I am a 30 year survivor of Cancer, single, and an independant student. I live on my own and am trying to go back to school but can't afford it on my own, my employer doesn't offer a lot of reimbursement, and student loans don't cover everything.

This non-profit I want to start would provide grants to adults whom are not able to pay for college on their own and have no assistance from family or state funds, and can't qualify for private loans.
