Question by Mrs. J: Home business advice and info would be greatly appreciated?
I going to start a home business pretty soon, but the thing is I don’t know anyone personally to find out how to go about starting one. So I wanted to know what are the things I need to know and things I need to do before I jump in, preferably from people who have home businesses or who are planning to start one as well.
By the way I live in Toronto, Canada. If I could get some info and advice from you all, I would appreciate it!
I’m interested in starting an online business from home, and having a website with all of these products on it so people can order them. I’m interested in selling hair products like: perms, weaves, shampoos, oils , baby/kids hair products etc. I’ve compared prices, textures and quality of these products from other stores around my area and online that sell the same kind of products jus to get an idea of what sells and what doesn’t and basically just what people prefer. So I know what I want to sell but, I just don’t know how to get it started. I know I need a business plan, and business name etc. I know you have to get it registered but how do I do all these things.
Anything that I haven’t mentioned that someone who like to share with me, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for sharing your info with me!

The way you go about setting up a home business varies depending what the business is going to be. There are only a couple real constants and so its those two that I will address.
1) Get an eye-catching web page. This is the most significant thing because you want people to be attracted to your business. It should suit whatever product you are selling but also be unique and fun. Most importantly, it should give the appearance of professionalism.
2) Get a toll free number. A catchy 1-800 number is something any business should have. There’s a reason EVERY Fortune 500 company has one. A toll free gives customers easy access to contact you without paying long distance charges. It also adds to the appearance of professionalism. And a customer will remember the number and be more likely to find you later. It’s a fact that a toll free number can increase business by as much as 600%. I recommend checking out www.tollfreenumber.org. They specialize in working with small businesses so they’ve got the lowest prices.
Hope this helps =)
