Not many people can do that.<br /><br />One of the things I would suggest is checking with your city and see what the rules are as far as starting a business. I know I've been looking into starting my own, and one of the important things that people sometimes forget is that they need a tax ID if they want to do something AND make money off of it.<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />That said, I've done the same thing as Ryanne, and nominated toy for a Liebster Award! ☺<br />http://vibowenstewart.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-liebster-award.htmlVictoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03990593757678423581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988799142950099853.post-89568310052160023432013-01-21T19:19:59.906-06:002013-01-21T19:19:59.906-06:00I've already done the name and logo part.

In a scrapping business, a slogan isn't really necessary though. :) <br /><br />The only concern I have about a weebly website is the name - how many people in rather rough and tough industry want "weebly" attached to their name? Plus, he doesn't want to spend any money on it, and I don't want to front the money for him either. <br /><br />That's a great point about marketing yourself though! I hope he can get it off the ground.

Weebly offers a free website service that's pretty simple to do yourself. You can even pay for the site for pretty inexpensive, cheaper than a lot of other hosting services. <br /><br />My suggestion is to come up with a business name, some kind of slogan, and even a logo if he knows someone (or can do it himself) to design it for him. Then print business cards, put all that info on facebook and his website, then he needs to enlist every single person he knows to help get his name out there. Marketing yourself is harder than the actual work, but it pays off! Caryn Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09262716252774557495noreply@blogger.com
