My husband is stuck in a terrible job (like half the country!) and he’s always wanted to own his own business, but he’s not sure of what he wants to do… I was wondering if anyone has ever had their own business, and if so, what do you do? Also, has anyone been successful w/ a business from home? Thanks!

I am about to venture into starting an online business and feel overwhelmed with all the competition out there… Any tips on marketing schemes….

I’m looking at starting a small landscaping business this summer. I need to get my name out there a little more, I’ve posted on craigslist and I am planning on putting posters up. Are they any other good websites or places to post? Preferably cheap or free.

I have google and email to death for information on starting this business and haven’t found anything.
Thanks for the replies, but I am interested in being an owner of a new flea market not a vendor in a flea market.

My resume doesn’t look very good (just a degree and three jobs). I want to start a business so I can put down that I did bookkeeping/accounting/QuickBooks, handled the legal work, and was a leader. I don’t plan on taking care of very many customers or having any major expenses.

I recently moved back to the east coast after spending 20 years on the west coast (USA). In San Francisco I was a chef and made a good living. It is considered a profession there but where I moved to, it is more of a low paying job. If I am going to continue to stay where I am, I have to do something else.

Any ideas on starting a small business? I do not have too much money to invest. Thanks, any thoughts or ideas are appreciated.

I am very interested in starting an online business. It’s time I made some money, and I am quite dedicated in what I start doing. I am a college student right now, and I want to figure out a good way to start my income. Please share any ideas you have. I don’t have much money to start with so any ideas that would take this into consideration would be great!

I am starting a online business that offers many free stuff for users, and later some people will want to pay by PayPal to advertise on my website. I would like to ask you what are the legal procedures to let people advertise and pay a certain amount of money to me every month they want my online services in order for them to advertise on my website and do all of this legally?

What should I do to make this legal? What are the basic procedures? Please, help me, I don’t know anything about Law and I need to get more information in order to make my online business possible.
Thank you.

I’m in Alberta, Canada.

And also, is it possible that maybe PayPal, Google Checkout and Yahoo! Wallet may help me with this issue?
