What's In A Name?? 2007-03-15 10:32:00 Naming a business is alot like naming a child. It is not a step to be taken lightly. You do not want to name it something that is too hard to pronounce or spell. It is not a good idea to name it something that the customers will have too much trouble with and will soon forget. It is best to pick a name that is easy to spell, pronounce, remember, and is easy to recognize. Does the name fit the overall image you want for your business?

Start a Flea Market Business 2007-03-19 09:43:00 This is one that you can be getting ready for because it will soon be warm enough for outside flea markets or you might be lucky enough to know of some indoor flea markets close to you. For many years before the internet, the place to pawn off old or unused merchandise was the local flea market. Flea marketers would typically be the type of person that was a collector of unique items that would not really sell well in the mall or just carried too small of a margin for most store owners to really care about. The flea market was great, you never knew what you would find, and at times, a bargain was most definitely just around the corner. There even was the odd or better than odd chance that you could be ripped off, so a degree of caution had to be taken with each purchase.Today we have the internet, and the flea market has taken a backseat to the likes of eBay and other auction sites that have popped up all over the world allowing peddlers of this and that to connect up with willing cons Read more:Start

A Freelance Career 2007-03-18 12:11:00 An Investment That Paid Off Karyn Martin was cautious about launching her freelance career online, but she soon got results: "I remember the days when I dreamed of being a freelancer,she says. The word seemed magical to me somehow. Romantic, almost. Now, after having actually been a freelancer for a while, the scales have been lifted from my eyes and I have seen the light. You pay for being able to manipulate your time. You pay by working more, working harder, and - hopefully - working smarter. But what you get in return is priceless. Now I can call the shots about when I work, for whom I work, and how much I make." One day, Karyn decided she was no longer willing to commute in smog-laden traffic to sit in a cubicle for eight hours, come home, eat, sleep, wake up, and then do it all over again.
