Small Business - December 2006

With the growing popularity of online shopping, is a mom & pop style used book store worth opening in this day and age? This, plus the fact that we're definitely in the post-literate age, makes me wonder if our idea to open a used bookstore in such a climate is a good one.

Any opinions or advice would be appreciated!

I have a website and I know I can drive more traffic to my site through eBay. I don't want to bother with selling on eBay or having to pay eBay seller's fees. I have seen a couple sellers auction off their products on their eBay, and at the same time, advertising the website in which they SELL those products. I don't want to sell through eBay, though. I would like to post my products on eBay and then DIRECT that traffic from eBay TO my website. How should I go about doing this? Am I wrong for not wanting to sell my products on eBay? It seems like it might be the way to go, though... Please give me your thoughts. I'd like to hear from people who are or have been in the same situation. :)

We already offer a $150 quarterly bonus for meeting the production goal, however, the employees don't seem to be interested in that type of incentive.

I want to start selling in a flea market once a month, but I want to do it as a side job and not mess around with the whole sales tax thing. Nobody seems to collect sales tax, but are they suppose to? Or are flea markets and garage sales exempt from collecting sales tax?

I am currently setting up a jewellery business and i have posession
of an archive of usuable contemporary moulds, which are from a previous employer, so i can replicate all the companies jewellery designs if i wished!
is it legitimate to use these moulds under my own company name which have no copyright on them, or safer to adapt the wax replica to make it similar but not exactly like the previous companies designs?.
i am hoping to bypass the system as each item i sell has a certain percentage deducted for using the previous companies designs.

Hello!

Looking for Weekend/Part time Business/Money Making Ideas.

I'm a college student and currently own my own small business which is helping me pay for college, but I'd like to earn some more to start investing with.

I'm open to any idea you have. I want to be self-employed & work with my friends/family...so please don't tell me to just get a part-time job. The goal of this question is to come up with ideas that any college student or anyone for that matter, can use and make money from if they have enough drive to succeed.

Thanks for your time!

I'm looking for some advice from people who have set up a business or have knowledge of setting up a business. How do you find an idea for a business? Is it an easy thing to do? Do you have to be creative to be an entrepeneur? I know that a few tips are to research, but what do you research and where? Any help will be great.
