:” Two Businesses That Are Easy To Start” by research of Joseph Trevison MBA, CPA
Number 1: Craft Fair for Entrepreneur
Description: You assemble a group of artisans and organize their wares.
Start Up Costs: You are going to need a space for this one complete with parking. If you have a large yard or adjacent field to your home, you can use that. Check with town to ensure there are no additional costs/remits required. You’ll have to rent a space if you don’t have one. This could be a church basement, a fire station, etc. Look at the facilities in your town-the Knights of Columbus Hall or any other civic centers. There are downtimes and seasons when these facilities are not being used. Collect a group of artists you find at the flea markets and fairs and start advertising. You take a cut of what they make and you’ll also charge them a fee ($15) to participate. Start up costs could be $100 to $350.
Points to Ponder You can host your craft fairs every weekend or just try it Thursday through Sunday once a month.
Number 2: Import/Export Empire:
If you find the right product to import from a cheaper source, you can make a mint selling it to shops, flea markets, online, etc. Looking for information to start your import/export empire?

Every man is familiar with the phase ‘my business is different’. Nearly every time I have tried to convince an advertiser that a plan which has worked successfully in another business might work successful in his., he has at least thought, if he did not say it, that his business is different. But old and used ides can be adapted to any business.” Maxwell Sackheim stated this in this book. He tell so much more. I know we are into a depression and many of us have little money but with this book you can start making money fast: http://www.joetrevison.com/shop Take a look at this: “My First 65 Years in Advertising” You can’t find at any bookstore because it is out of print and you will pay a small fortune any place else. Got to Amazon.com and try if you don’t believe me.
