Work From Home

Ruth B asked:


I am thinking about starting up an internet business making and selling handmade cards - birthday, wedding, sympathy etc. I know there are a million and one other people doing this kind of thing, so how should I go about getting my site on the first page of a search engine? I have absolutely no idea about web design but am willing to learn. I’ve tried selling on Ebay but would like my own site as I begrudge paying Ebay so much in fees!! Oh and btw I live in the UK if this makes a difference, although I would be happy to mail my products all over the world.

I’d like to setup a home business by myself selling candles from home. I’d be operating from home and would be retailing them directly to any consumer who’d want to buy, as I made them.

Any special licenses or permits I’d need?

I run a home-based business selling hand-painted self-stick murals for kid-friendly spaces. I have my own website and have placed an ad in my local newspaper. I plan on putting up some posters at some local community centres, libraries etc. Problem is… this is not that effective. I don’t have a lot of cash and am hoping that word of mouth will be my best form of advertising. Does anyone have any other ideas for getting the word out about my business? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
