Businesses on a Shoestring - Book Series
Being an author of "How to Market Your Crafts to Retail Stores" in 1995, and being on Ideablog for a few weeks, I realize that many people really need help in starting a business! The series would include a general book on businesses starting on less than $100,with editions for moms and children.
Q1: Have you had a business idea, and the only reason why you haven't started it was because of the money?
Idea Description
Being an author of "How to Market Your Crafts to Retail Stores" in 1995, and being on Ideablog for a few weeks, I realize that many people need help in starting a business! The series would include a general book on businesses starting on less than $100 with editions for "stay at home moms" and children that are willing to work! At 54, I personally have had many "shoestring businesses"! I remember having a UPS shipping center in my garage during Christmas time before there were any outlets anywhere! I made $300+ per day! My 8 year daughter made $100 selling Mistletoe in a mall! I am sure that the ideas that will be in these books will get you really motivated on your new venture!
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
I already have an unemployed newspaper editor interested in the idea, so I'm ready to go on this!
Vote for it now.
Finaly one of your ideas I like
That is not me selling the "How to Market your Crafts" book. This book has been out of print for years. I can sell you a copy of the same book on a CD for 19.95. The 1995 book you saw for $173.25 is a first edition book that the book dealer feels is rare and collectible. It is true that an autographed copy of my first edition book can go as high as $1,000. I have no control over the secondary market on these first edition books. I personally only own 2. I certainly have never sold any books myself for more than $19.95!
your book sells for 173.25 on Amazon.com. Perhaps it could be priced so that it was a bit more affordable.
