What are the basics I need to know in order to operate? Is this a good start up bussiness for someone learning to be self-employed? What are some things that are not obvious about this?

The other thing is I want to employ local artists from my local high schools to design the patterns on my t-shirts. What legal issues do I need to know about if I plan to do this?

What is the first step to opening a store? Is a franchise a good option? Should I hire someone to write a plan, or get a book from the library and try it myself? How do I determine how much fo borrow? How much inventory to start with? I also need advice on wholesalers/suppliers. I would love a clothing store owner to guide me in the right direction. Thanks for your time! Cassie

I'm fourteen & I just found out that my dad, who's a retired college professor, might have to sell his house since he's getting a lot less money now. I don't know the details, but I do know that he's having a lot of money problems with the mortage, bank, & bills. He doesn't want me to worry about it & I know he's right, but I really just want to find a way to make some money to help. I know I'm only fourteen but I can't stand just sitting here wasting the summer time when my dad is suffering. How can I help & earn some extra money for him?? :/ Thanks for any ideas/advice.

Hi. I have a great idea for an internet buisness and need advice on what to do to develop it. There are many books about doing this, but the problem is that most of them are about selling an item, my site is more about a service. I don't want to give the idea out for fear of someone stealing it. Does anyone know if there is a specific person that has the job of helping someone like me. Someone I could go to or hire that would help me get my buisness started without taking my idea. And how does one go about patening or trademarking their idea when it is not a physical item, but a site idea..for instance something like NetFlix. What did the founder have to do to make sure their idea wouldn't get ripped off? Any advice would be helpful. Thankyou so much

As any computer user would know, eBay is the most successful auction website on Earth. But what I was wondering was this: How does one person start up an auction site on the internet and let people buy, sell, trade and auction items to each other and profit from that? What do you need to do to create and build your very own auction site and even sell and/or auction your items to all those desparate customers waiting for an item that they really need? Do you need to a credit card bank account for that? Can you accept the money paid for an item as cheques? Do you have to pay for the packaging and delivery as well just to get that item to the customer who really bought it? Please, if there is any one who is a profound expert at this online auction business, tell me how to do it! I am extremely curious about this!

My company deals with event entertainment (casino [Monte Carlo] night, poker party types of things) and I'm trying to reach out to big corporations in NYC, in the finance sector especially.

What's the easiest/best/cheapest way to go about it? Advertising? Press release? Cold calls? I have no clue! Help!!

I have a ton of books and i cannot take them all with me. I dont want to take them to goodwill i only have a car and it would cost me money to get rid of them taking them there it would take about 3 or 4 trips. I was thinking about putting a free books sign out by the highway but i don't know if anyone would take them.

Any ideas on how to get rid of alot of books fast?
