Business, economic development - the unofficial Chamber of Commerce

Starting a house cleaning business takes hard work and determination, good communication skills, marketing ability, time management and bookkeeping skills, and compliance with government regulations.

Be Prepared

Research the industry and know what you are getting into before you invest in starting a cleaning business. Read all the free articles at http://www.maiddocs.com — hours upon hours of research have been completed for you. Then, if you decide to start your own service business, purchase the MaidDocs Business Owner’s Manual to prepare yourself for the adventure. You’ll learn how to estimate cleaning jobs, hire and manage employees, run the daily operations, and grow your business.

Getting Started

A professionally designed logo will help to brand your company in the public’s mind. Your logo will be printed on business cards, door knockers, letterhead, car signs, etc., so carefully consider the image you want to present, and then choose artwork which will best reflect that image.

Decide what you will charge for your services. Research the local market to determine what your competitors charge. You must remain within the local standards, and you can undercut your competition slightly; however, if you charge significantly less than the competition, you may end up with less money and more work than you care for. Your growth must be contained so that you can add employees as you need them without raising prices and thereby losing customers. Also, if you have more jobs than you can handle you may not be servicing the homes well, and this is certainly not good for business.

Advertise in the “services” section of the classified in your local newspapers. Keep it short, and ad your logo if you can afford to. Your ad might read “Quality housecleaning with integrity. Call ###-#### for a free estimate.”

Place an ad in your local yellow pages. Research all of your local phone books and notice which ads catch your eye. A good bet is a “knock-out” ad with at least 2 colors. A “knock-out” removes the yellow background and leaves a crisp, attention grabbing white field among all the yellow ads. For a lesser cost you may list your company in the yellow pages free listing column with a knock-out and color. This ad should be a minimum of four 4 lines, with color. For on-line marketing choose pay-per-click advertising with YellowPages.com — this will assure that your listing is shown before the alphabetized free listings.

If you don’t mind hand delivering a marketing piece, then the most economical advertising is hanging a door-knocker on the front door of homes you’re certain can afford your services.

Direct mail postcards are an economical advertising option that puts your information directly into the hands of qualified prospects. You can use labels or merge the postcards with a mailing list and have them copied at a local office store or printer with a high speed/high quality copier. Insist on seeing a sample from the copier before you have the job completed. You MUST deliver high quality postcards in order to make the best impression on your prospects. Flimsy paper with lopsided print, ink rubbing off and jagged edges is not the quality which will get you noticed.

Magnetic car signs can be made by a local sign maker for about $25 a set. We buy ours from our local FastSigns shop.

Be prepared for business with professional estimates, letters to follow-up on quotes not booked, new customer letters, customer
information sheets, maid service checklists, and customer surveys for the first service.

Purchase cleaning supplies at your local discount center. Lists of cleaning supplies, office equipment & supplies necessary to start your business are in the MaidDocs Business Owners Manual.

Commercial grade vacuums will last much longer than home quality. We have found that Royal brand commercial vacuums, crafted with die-cast aluminum, are the lightest and longest lasting available anywhere, and they out clean the competition. Royal Commercial Vacuums come with a lifetime warranty on the motor housing, fan casing and nozzle.

Your own website is a luxury that is worth the expense when you can afford it. Be certain to add your website address to all business documents, and to all of your advertising. The website should have an online estimate form and customer testimonials.

When you’re ready to hire employees, be prepared with your employment application, handbook, policies and guidelines, and all of the appropriate documents you’ll need to manage employees.

Government Regulations:

Get your federal tax ID; local & state business licenses; bonding insurance, and liability insurance. When you hire employees you’ll need worker’s compensation insurance. The Small Business Administration is a great source of information for start-up paperwork and links to informative websites. http://sba.gov/starting_business/startup/guide.html

The IRS website offers a wealth of information for small businesses. You’ll find start-up guides, information on tax credits and business deductions, advice on record keeping and choosing an accounting method, employee tax issues, and more. The most up-to-date tax information is available through the site, as well as forms, publications and instructions for filing taxes. http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/index.html

State tax information can be found at http://www.taxadmin.org/fta/link/forms.html, which provides links to the Department of Revenue for every state.

Here’s a few other sites you should look at:

Business Law: businesslaw.gov - Complying with business laws and regulations can be a burden. To help small businesses overcome this, the Small Business Administration (sba.gov) in cooperation with multiple Federal agencies developed BusinessLaw.gov, an online resource designed to provide legal and regulatory information. Topics covered on this site range from choosing a business structure to hiring an attorney. The site also provides links to federal, state and local agencies.

Employment Law: http://www.dol.gov/asp/programs/EmpLawGuide - This guide describes the statutes and regulations administered by the Department of Labor (DOL) that affect businesses and workers. The guide is designed mainly for those needing “hands-on” information to develop wage, benefit, safety and health, and nondiscrimination policies for businesses in general industry.

Compliance Laws: http://www.dol.gov/esa/regs/compliance - Statutes and regulations administered by the Department of Labor (DOL)that affect businesses and workers.

Cleaning Business System, Documents, Manuals and Forms: http://www.MaidDocs.com - MaidDocs provides step-by-step instructions, lists of resources, employee handbooks and cleaning procedures manual, a database template, a payroll template, and all of the documents necessary for you to run a successful maid service, without a franchise. You must provide the determination, self control and discipline necessary to bring your dream to fruition.

Salehoo: Wholesale Nautical Pewter Charms
Programs that sell wholesale items are known to pull your chain now and then. I have been scammed once before with a system that promised me all of these great things, only to find that I was chasing and looking other places to find what I wanted and needed. I just was not what I had expected. I have seen an upsurge in people looking to start profitable businesses on Ebay and are constantly turning to drop ship directories like Salehoo to source goods and have them delivered.

From the outset Salehoo has been constantly adding new suppliers and verifying them to provide a comprehensive database It is one of the few businesses where a substantial amount of money can be made from single sales. It is a one time membership fees and does not require to be renewed periodically

Salehoo Peanuts Snoopy Fleece Fabric Wholesalers:
Another good market for wholesale distribution is nutrition. Creating a wholesale business that focuses on nutritional supplements or gadgets is a clear winner as people are more interested than even in making sure that they are healthy and fit. And these kinds of items aren’t limited to nutritional stores anymore as well. Even your local gas station is now carrying the latest energy drinks so that travelers can get a little boost of energy. And you can make sure to cash in on that trend.

I’ve just heard they’ve made it half price to join but I’ve heard this offer ends very soon. These wholesalers and distributors have all been fully verified and are devoted to offering you nothing but top-quality merchandise. See Salehoo Review.

Introduction

A pencil. Yes, a pencil. In my opinion, every great idea has started with a pencil. Sure, lots stay in someone’s head, but to me a great idea doesn’t have any value until it’s written down. Until it’s written down it’s just dust I the wind: here today and quickly forgotten tomorrow.

But, every great idea needs a little something extra. Maybe you’re great at design, but you simply can’t write worth a darn. Or, maybe, you have the best idea for a website, but no real way to get the word out. Either way, we all have different skills and we all have something to give and wouldn’t mind getting a little something in return.

The website I’m talking about today is really about just that: getting something valuable in return for something valuable. Whether you are a website owner or a writer, this website has been rather successful at giving you what you need, when you need it.

Constant Content is all about giving webmasters the content they need to make their sites great while at the same time giving authors the exposure and income they need to keep doing what they are great at. At it’s core, it’s about allowing people to play to everyone’s strengths.

The Gist of the Gist

There are really two parts to Constant Content. If you are a webmaster, there are hundreds of articles available for you as free content, licensed content or exclusive content. Constant Content will even have content custom written for you if you don’t find what you need!

It’s a little bit like having hundreds of writers sitting around at your beck and call. Some would call it spoiled, but I call it a dream come true.

The flipside of this equation is for authors. As you can tell, I’m an author. I’ve written articles, reviews, tutorials and curriculum for magazines, universities, books… You name it, I’ve done it. For me the two hardest parts about being an author are exposure and a revenue stream. Either you can’t find enough work, or the work you find doesn’t pay you often enough or well enough to make life easy.

For writers, this is where Constant Content comes in. It provides you a place to showcase your work, to license it (lots of people buy, lots of money for you) and even to sell exclusive, lucrative, licenses of content you prepare.

As I said before, Constant Content really is about connecting webmasters and writers up to form a team. A very cool concept which works very well.

Webmasters, Put Your Hands in the Air!

By now any smart webmaster should be aware that content is what makes the site go round. Even if all you have is an Ecommerce site, it’s still ultimately the content on that site which gives it legs. Your users need to know certain things, and content is what fills them in. Whether it’s articles, reviews, tutorials, essays or editorials, every site benefits from new, professional content.

Before we get in too deep to how you can get that great content right now, let me go through some of the basics of how Constant Content works for site owners. The process is fairly simple. You go to the Constant Content site. Then you find the type of content you are looking for (there are several ways of narrowing it down). Once you’ve found a piece you like, you are able to see a preview of it to make sure it fits with the overall tone of your site.

You then have a choice. Do you want a “Usage” license or a “Unique” license. A Usage license basically means you are allowed to use the license, but so is anyone else who buys a Usage license. It gives you the content you need, but does not guarantee you won’t find it elsewhere. The flipside of this is that the content is very well priced: often in the 10-20$ range, which isn’t bad at all. If you’re looking for exclusive rights to a piece of content though, you will need to purchase a Unique license. This will guarantee that nobody else buys the piece in question. It’s a bit like buying a print of a famous painting versus buying the original. Both are great, both will work, it just depends on your needs.

Ultimately, there is only so much content on Constant Content right now, as it is a fairly new service. So, what happens if you don’t find the content you like? Well, you can either submit a Request for Content and hope authors help you out, or you can apply to have a piece custom created for you. Sure, you’ll pay a premium, but you will also work with the author to make sure the piece is ideal for your project.

Whether you choose to buy content already on Constant Content or get it created just for you, ultimately you’ll find what you need, at a great price, delivered with a smile. Constant Content allows you to play to your strengths, without having to worry about all the extra hassles.

Authors, Princes Among Men

Being a writer is tough these days. Either you can’t figure out what you want to write about, or you’ve written tons of stuff that nobody’s buying. After all, we can’t all be John Grisham’s (nor do most of us want to… though the 3 boats wouldn’t be bad).

Working with Constant Content has several key advantages, at least in my experience. First, it helped get my name out there. I submitted several articles for free which are now in use on dozens of sites. It gave me exposure, and several times has given me opportunities to write custom content for a decent fee!

The other area Constant Content has helped me is in writing that I’ve just got “kicking around”. I haven’t sent it to anyone, it isn’t published and it’s basically just gathering dust. I can submit the piece to the site and just sit back. Sometimes I’ll get purchases fairly quickly. But sometimes nothing will happen for a few months. Somehow that’s even more gratifying. The fact that I can submit content, and have it pay me for years to come isn’t a bad deal at all. It feels a bit like some of the royalty checks for book contributions that I get.

Besides the ability to submit free content, Usage content, Unique content and custom content deals, there is one other great thing about Constant Content: referrals. I’ve referred several friends to Constant Content. Every piece they sell, I get 5% for. Yeah, that’s right. Sometimes I wish real world publishing worked like this, because I know a lot of authors. If every time one of my friends got a big signing bonus for a book I got 5%… I could practically retire.

You Too Can be King!

While I’d hate to be really cliché and say Constant Content provides a win-win situation, I really have to. If you’re a webmaster you have access to a growing repository of reasonably priced content. If you’re an author, you have an easy forum to not only let your writing speak for itself, but to make some decent money while you’re at it. Visit Constant Content now at http://www.constant-content.com to find out more and to sign up for your account.

Did you know that most people find it difficult to write sales copy that works?

You see there is this idea that sales is all about lies and that you have to be really tricky and clever with words to sell your product.

This is absolute bollocks.

Sure there are people out there selling rubbish and telling lies but you will only buy something from them once and then only out of desperation.

Most people have a pretty good sense of what is truth.

This is all you have to do.

Tell the truth about what your product can do for your client.

Imagine you have a friend and you are sitting down having a coffee together and they ask you what your product can do for them.

Do you pull out the high pressure professional sales pitch or start spinning lies? No, you give them the inside dope, the straight pitch, the ‘real deal’, in short, the plain truth.

One of the first lessons I learned when I studied professional copywriting was to write like people talk, using the same rhythm and style.

On the internet the written word is all you’ve got so you had better make it effective or you are going to lose a hell of a lot of customers.

A simple and easy way to write great copy right now is to audio record yourself actually talking with a real friend about what your product can do for them. Then get someone to type up this conversation for you warts and all in the form of an open letter and you will have created sales copy that is better than 90% of the hype driven self centred rubbish out there.

There is so much hype out there that people are entranced by honest copy, they don’t care if its rough so long as it reads true.

I swear I saw an ad earlier today on a classified site that read “earn $75,000 per week… We do all the work for you”

Are they insane? If you were making $75,000 per week would you even get out of bed, let alone bother signing people up for some dodgy deal?

And what about the ads that say no selling, no mlm, all you have to do is introduce 2 people and we do the rest. Don’t get me started.

Remember, business hasn’t changed. People still want to buy from someone they trust.

Make sure you have a product you genuinely believe in, do something you love for work and you will turn your customers into clients for life.

All the best,

Stephen

Preparing for an employee event, especially Within the city of London, might be a complicated and time intensive process if people are not prepared, and just do not have the correct resources to hand. From appointing bar men, to guaranteeing people are set up to clean up the rubbish, organising bands, wine, it can all extremely rapidly become out of your control.

And it’s all about your company’s staff. Just do not fail to notice that for a instant.

Offshore investment is an expression heard often, but not necessarily understood by the masses. Here is a breakdown of the definition of the phrase and some generalizations concerning it.

First of all, the term “offshore” indicates something being foreign or outside of the domestic territory of one of the G8. The G8 (Group of Eight) refers to the annual summit of the government heads of the eight most prominent nations in the world. These eight nations are Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America. Offshore investing, or alternative investing, is conducting financial business outside of the investor’s home country, which is usually one of the G8 nations.

By having anything from a foreign bank account or credit cards to more intricate offshore financial dealings, such as trusts and multi-level investments, investors gain access to varieties of international trade.

Many large financial institutions have offices in popular offshore locations to capitalize on the increased interest in this type of investing. Studies calculate that about half of the world’s money is offshore from the location of the money holder. This is largely due to the fact that the primary offshore investors are the world’s wealthiest individuals and corporations.

The number of offshore investors has grown rapidly in recent years due to several factors. First and foremost, the introduction of the world to the Internet has enabled people to gain knowledge and invest outside of their own region. They are no longer intimidated by offshore investing and consider it a possibility because of the instant communication between nations afforded by the Internet.

The ever-expanding diversity of investments has also attracted more buyers. These new types of investments, coupled with the jurisdiction and regulations options available through offshore banking, make it an appealing choice indeed.

With all the options out there, how can investors and brokers make the best decisions regarding their money? The Internet offers a vast source of information regarding offshore investment opportunities and probabilities.

There are also countless financial advisors specializing in international investments. Financial institutions realize the huge business that is in offshore investments and they have made that available to their clients as well by hiring special consultants for this purpose.

Elevated taxes can be a real detraction from the accumulation of profits. The typically lower taxes of smaller countries are the biggest incentive to invest offshore, since the offshore investor is usually wealthy and living in a higher tax area, such as the United States.

Of course, seeking higher returns on their investments is another common motive for people exploring offshore investing. Also at issue is the currency in which to keep the assets, and the strength of that currency rate.

Traditional investment specialists may frown on offshore banking because it is less regulated and less predictable. The risk and unknown factor involved turn some would-be investors off, although many individuals that pursue offshore investments have made their fortunes by taking similar risks elsewhere.

Reasons for choosing to invest offshore are plentiful and may involve more than just taxes and returns. Other considerations include a higher level of confidentiality due to the offshore nation’s government policies or legal protection offered by offshore investment approaches, like trusts and different kinds of corporations.

During a client interview, it is important to show that client
what makes you different from other VA candidates. This is a
competative world and clients now search for the most qualified
VA by weighing their skills and determining how the VA will
benefit them. Skill emphasis during the interview is a must for
landing a new client or business project.

The majority of clients will search for VAs who stand out based
on their experience, their expertise, and their ability to
enhance the clients project. Budgets can be expanded and profits
can be higher when skills are emphasized properly.

There are three main kinds of skill emphasis needed:

1. Knowledge Based Skills

2. Transferable Skills

3. Personal Traits

Knowledge-Based Skills

Experience and education are examples of knowledge based skills.
They will include your educational attainment, your additional
VA training, any seminars you have attended, VA workshops, and
any other practices that you have used to enhance your VA
knowledge. Your knowledge based skills can include but are not
limited to:

Computer skills

Communication skills

Marketing skills

Managerial skills

Accounting skills

Organizational skills

Other knowledge based skills

Transferable Skills

These are the skills that you bring to the client that are
beneficial to them in more than one way. What are you offering
the client that they don’t already have or that they can’t find
with another VA? These skills will also be emphasized by the
particular project or job. Transferable skills are very
important and should be highlighted during your interview with
the potential client. Some examples of transferable skills would
include:

Problem solving

Team leader potential

Writing skills

Client service oriented skills

Time management skills

Budgeting skills

Etc.

Personal Traits

This emphasis is to help the client determine who you are. Tell
them something of yourself. This doesn’t have to be a bragging
session. You will need to sell yourself in a modest way. Your
communication to the client about who you are will set the tone
for the rest of the client interview. Some ideas to emphasize
this skill would be:

Good judgement

Well organized

Analytical

Goal oriented

Flexible

Creative

Etc.

Practice the following before conducting an interview with a
possible new client:

1. Self Assessment- Don’t emphasize traits or abilities that you
don’t possess. Be honest about your past performance and focus
on the abilities that you do possess. Write them down for the
interview.

2. The Interview- Get in front of the mirror. Have a list of
questions that a new client might ask and practice answering
those questions in a professional manner. Take notes beforehand
to help you in communicating exactly what you want the client to
realize about you and your determination to have them as a
client.

3. Technical Skills- Practice highlighting your technical skills
AND your problem solving skills. The client is there because
they have a “problem” or project that they cannot manage on
their own. This is where you become extremely valuable to them
and their project.

You should be able to land many new clients by just following
the simple above advice!

Something you can’t see is working for you.

One day I bought one of Yanik silver’s info products that really
impacted they way I do business online and I realized that if it
provided the wisdom that I needed that time to solve my problems
there must be thousands people who are looking for the same kind
of knowledge.So I joined Yanik’s affiliate program and began to
promote my link .Each sale I got made me excited because I was
glad someone had found what he needed to solve a problem and
they more sales I made I got amazed not because of the profit I
was making but because those people I was able to help ,through
a website did not call them did not see them they probably don’t
live in the same neighbourhood as me .May be I just sent emails
to follow up but they still had to make a decision to order on
their own Then I began to understand that there must be some
thing I can not see that is working for me that makes people
beleive in what the read at the website and order by faith
expecting to solve their problem!and it has worked everytime I
focused on people and what they want rather focusing on how much
money I will make! The only gift we have from God is time.Value
your time and what you do with it and focus on people because
your focus determine your feelings or attitudes!So what kind of
attitude do you have or would you like to have with your
clients?Your time is a seed and it produces the exchange value
of whatever you desire in life.Get the wisdom on how to solve
your problem and then spend time helping others to solve the
same problem you had !and money will follow!Yes it will be added
to you!

“Please — Pretty Please!! I really, really want to do this.”
>From the sounds of things you’d think a parent and a child were
in “one of those” arguments. But it’s really a wife trying to
persuade her husband to let her work from home. Getting your
husband to back your home business can, at times, be as
hazardous as those black diamond ski slopes.

This past week there has been a very active discussion on one of
the work-at-home mom listservs about how to get support from a
husband who isn’t even close to being thrilled about your home
business idea. Here are a few answers.

Men are getting very comfortable with the two income situations
that women have begged to have for many years now. When mom and
dad are bringing in two checks every couple of weeks, the
pressure of keeping that job and worries of downsizing aren’t
nearly as scary when they know their wife is helping with the
finances. The idea of mom staying home and starting a business
that may or may not make money any time soon is enough to turn a
man white with fear.

If your husband is one of those who has reservations about you
wanting to come home and hang out your shingle, start by showing
him a couple facts.

Who will love and raise your children more? Mom or another
caretaker? Here is an interesting fact: a child’s self-concept
is formed by the age of seven years old. Most caregivers, while
they may enjoy children, cannot give a mother’s love. More and
more studies are being done on the importance of young children
having that hourly contact with mom.

Now look at your paychecks minus expenses. There is a
wonderful book called, “Two Incomes and Still Broke: It’s Not
How Much You Make, but How Much You Keep,” By Linda Kelley.
There are exercises in this book that can help you figure what
you and your husband, both working outside the home, are
actually making each month. Some couples even find they are
losing money because of daycare costs, taxes, commuting, etc. To
get a better idea of what those costs would be visit:
http://www.bizymoms.com/cart/careers/bizymoms_calculator.html

One lady I’ve talked with, lets call her Sue, told me that if
a woman ever came up against a husband who would not let her
start her home business — do it anyway. This is something Sue
had experienced when she started her home business. Doing
something on your own is very liberating, and some men hate the
fact that you aren’t depending on them 100% of the time. Don’t
get into a power struggle with him, show him often that you
still love him and need him, and hopefully he will come around.
Sue has continued her business from home and her husband is
finally supportive of her. Well, maybe not 100% of the time –
but it’s close enough.

Don’t be afraid to get your husband involved with your business.
The fact is — a home business takes time to grow. For awhile,
your husband will be the only financial support for the family.
Your home business will need to turn into a team effort. Make
sure he’s not afraid to tell people what you do and what type of
services or products you offer. Word of mouth will be your best
form of advertisement. The more people there are talking up your
business, the sooner your business will grow into a successful,
money-making, home-based endeavor.

If starting a home business is your dream, getting your
husband’s approval will be one of many road blocks. Don’t let
these types of situations get you down. Press on and turn your
home business dream into a reality.
