Sew Accessories & Clothing for Dogs 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Dog Clothing
and Accessories
Americans spend more than $30 billion annually on their pets, and big bucks can be earned by designing, making and selling designer duds for dogs. Sweaters and rain jackets are sure bets to become top sellers, but dog lovers around the globe are also buying designer doggie hats, goggles, shirts, booties, scarves and even Halloween costumes for their beloved furry friends. The criteria for getting started are minimal--design skills, sewing skills and equipment, patterns, and a bit of gumption to get out and pitch your fabulous designer fashions for mutts and pedigrees alike to pet shop retailers, especially if your ambitions are to establish wholesale accounts with chain and independent pet shop retailers. If not, there are still many ways to sell direct to dog owners. These include exhibiting and selling at pet fairs, online sales via dog-related websites, mail order sales supported by newspaper, catalog, online and magazine advertising, and establishing a d

Keeping busy! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I have been so busy! I have been writing for several sites and I just joinen MYLOT the other day and am now addicted to that. I made $2.34 in just 2 days of discissions and I do not really do too many. Spent just an hour a day!! So that is pretty cool. I can see where it will not take me too long to reach the $10.00 payout. I also just signed up for Helium , but I do not know yet how that will be going. I had 2 articles rejected on Associated Content. But that was only because they were not long enough. So I hope to have some extra time this week to rewrite them.I have also been getting stuff ready for the highway 50 yardsale which is not until may but I have sooooooo much stuff to go through and price that I have been doing a box a day. If I do not do it that way I will never get done!!Plus taking care of 2 teenagers, a 5 month old baby, and a 50 year old baby ( my hubby) . Oh and taking care of 2 dogs and a few cats. Ou guinea pig died so that is one less thing,but we miss her so muc
Drive More Buyers to Your Site or Auctions 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Do you have a website or sell at online auctions? Then you probalby wonder all of the time how to drive more buyers to them. You need to make sure that potential customers can find your site easily. Place ads in the local newspaper and on any local websites. Start a opt in email newsletter where you can keep customers updated on hostess specials, special offers for signing up to be a direct seller, etc. Also make sure it is easy for them to opt out. Not every newsletter needs to be a sales pitch. Have recipes or tidbits in it too. Make it an enjoyable read and they will forget it is an ad and only remember you. If potential customers like you they willmost likely buy from you or join your downline.Insert your link and info in your email signatures so that with every email you send there is a small ad for your business or online auctions.Do link exchanges with other like minded sites.Make sure you keep your website fresh and updated.

Plan Ahead to Get Ahead! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 If you are starting a new home business or already have one ,you need to plan.You need to get your spouse involved with the planning even though they willnot be in the business with you. This will save you some hassles later on if they understand early on the time and money you will be investing into this new business. Make sure you keep a written log of all of your plans. A good business plan shows all of your business expenses and revenues. Be prepared for more expenses then you expect and plan for less revenue then you expect. Use a big calendar to mark dates of the beginning and ending of each new activity.Promote you business!! Plan for this ! Figure out what avenues of promotion you will be using. Plan for the cost.

Make extra money by teaching cooking or baking! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 This is a great idea that I wanted to share with all of you on how you could make extra money. Are you a great cook? Can you bake like there is no tomorrow?You could teach young girls and teens how to cook or bake. You could hold workshops on the weekends and teach them. You could start with basics and work your way up to where they are cooking
their own meals. Teaching young girls how to bake would be really fun. You could even have a special class for cake decorating. You could have the final class be a huge dinner for all of their parents and each girl has a certain part of the meal that they have to make. Or if you teach baking then all of you spend the day baking and then sell them at the local fair or craft show. Advertising would be easy! Put up ad at the YMCA or Girls club. Word of mouth would be awesome way to get the word out,too. Maybe you could even teach special stuff to women! You could teach them how to bake bread, decorate cakes, or whatever you are really good at.If

Relax and Recharge! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Is that a thing that you have not done in a while?? I know I have not ,but it is something that we all need to do every once in a while.
