]]> Comment on I am looking for an honest and reliable home based business. Any ideas? by allsmiles_24seven http://grovenyc.net/2010/09/i-am-looking-for-an-honest-and-reliable-home-based-business-any-ideas/comment-page-1/#comment-250 allsmiles_24seven Thu, 02 Sep 2010 21:34:57 +0000 http://grovenyc.net/?p=183#comment-250 You have to be very very very very very careful about this! I have tried to do it myself and only find things a scam, and I re-searched endlessly for about a week and gave up. They all will ask you for money, and I find this odd, being you get a job to make money. Please be aware, and definitely don't listen to the guy before me... he's obviously a scam!

]]> Comment on How do you start a financial services company? by ynot http://grovenyc.net/2010/08/how-do-you-start-a-financial-services-company/comment-page-1/#comment-328 ynot Tue, 10 Aug 2010 14:19:24 +0000 http://grovenyc.net/?p=219#comment-328 Since you've never been in business before, I would strongly recommend that you talk to a business counselor before you do anything especially spend money. You have to determine whether you'll start a web based business or one with a store front. I'd call the local office of SCORE (go to and input your zip code to find the chapter nearest you), the advice is FREE. The counselor at SCORE will most likely advise you to write a business plan which is very good advice because it will force you to dig out all of the start up details and the costs of starting a financial services company and force you to also understand all of the aspects of this business including the customers you'll concentrate on (your market ) and how you'll go after them. You'll need to register the business with your state controller's office and make sure that you have any city and county licenses if any are needed where you live. All of this will come out in a business plan. Try this link : and read some of the articles especially the ones about a business plan and starting a business.

You find the companies look at their web sites and call them on the phone. Depends on what you are selling. When I worked for a stock broker I remember one of the big mutual fund companies visiting us so that we could sell their products. The direct approach is the best.

I am also in the field of health and nutrition (for 30 years now). My biggest challenge was how to market (both online and offline) which is the life blood of any business. What's a business without customers, right? I looked up this information for you off the website in the source box below. I didn't want to take a lot of room here within the text to type out all I found, but I think if you click on it, you will find the information there invaluable. Hope this helps.

If the response is not what you are looking for, you can always change your advertisement copy. Great places to test this out is Craigslist and Ebay. Good Luck!
