What is a good way to have an at home graphic design busines?

Answer 1

The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.

I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.

Associations may be a good avenue to explore. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.

Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:

* The Creative Business Guide to Running a Graphic Design Business by Cameron S. Foote
* The Business Side of Creativity: The Complete Guide for Running a Graphic Design or Communications Business by Cameron S. Foote
* Inside the Business of Graphic Design: 60 Leaders Share Their Secrets of Success by Catharine M. Fishel

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Answer 2

Canvas other design businesses which are in the black, and have successfully ran their business in the black.

Then find smaller outfits, check out their equipment. Better yet, Google the equipment.

Then go to E-Bay and see if you can find contemporary (newer) design equipment at a low cost. Hopefully, that will do it for you.

Remember, always think of your customer first. Customer satisfaction and repeat business is what you are looking for.

Good luck!
