A Bounce House Business is Great for the Whole Family

By Cheryl Pierce

Owning a moonwalk business a great experience. The inflatables business is not only fun...it's profitable too! And actually the problem is rarely that your company won't grow...the biggest problem is that if you aren't careful...you can grow too fast.

There are a few questions you want to ask yourself when starting an inflatables business.

Why would I want to start a Party Rental Business?

The business is fun for the whole family. You have very little advertising costs. You can keep your present job and grow as you desire.

How can I get Started?

Set up your company. Talk to an account to check out the local business laws and make sure your business is set up correctly for accounting. Assume you're going to grow quite a bit. (It's alot easier to act like a business from the beginning than backtrack later). Pick a name that's fun and exciting. Decide what kind of rentals you'd like to do...birthday parties, large events...or both!

After you decide what equipment you want, start talking with manufacturers and place your order. Most orders take up to 4 weeks for delivery so plan ahead.

Where can I find Customers?

Kids everywhere! Birthday parties, church events, family reunions, post prom parties, summer camps, corporate picnics & events, holiday parties, store promotions, school parties, street fairs and festivals, swap meets, pre-schools, day cares, Halloween festivals, fund raisers, car dealerships, grand openings, shopping malls and lots lots more...don't forget family reunions. Look for all the posibilities!

How long before I'll show a profit?

Hey...it depends on how hard you'll work. Rentals for small bounces run from $75.00-250.00 for a 4-8 hour day. You'll make much more if you sell packages made up of a bounce/fun food/and games or spin art. You're dropping off equipment anyway..why not maximize your profits! Each bounce should rent a minimum of 1 1/2 times a week on the average. You should push to rent 1 bounce as many times as possible each week.

How Can I grow?

Just start adding more equipment. Just don't purchase too much at a time. The most successful rental companies maximize the use of their equipment. Before you spend a fortune on a "showpiece" work the numbers and make sure it'll make you more money than you would make if you bought 2-3 less expensive pieces,

One last thing...remember..inflatables are sewn vinyl..Should by chance you have an act of vandalism before an event....units can always be patched. Check with your salesperson on how to handle any possible emergency that might come up.

What is the New York Stock Exchange?

By Samantha Asher

Located in New York City, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), one of the largest stock exchanges in the world allows stock to be easily bought and sold. There are over 3,200 companies listed on the NYSE. Anyone, through a broker, is able to buy and sell stock efficiently between each other through the NYSE.

Up until January 2007, stocks were bought and sold on the floor of the NYSE. Now, the Hybrid Market has allowed stocks to be easily bought and sold electronically. The NYSE is efficiently run and set up specifically. All stock brokers must know where to go when they are ready to trade stock.

In order to trade on the floor, stock brokers must hold one of the 1,366 seats available. These seats are bought and sold similar to stocks. The price goes up and down just like stocks do and are generally very expensive.

Two of the most common U.S. stock indexes are the Dow Jones Industrial Average, or the Dow for Short, and the Standard & Poor 500, or S&P 500. The Dow includes 30 large companies, and the S&P 500 includes, you guessed it, 500.

The Dow is calculated by a price-weighted average. This means that to find the value of the index, instead of just adding up the price of each 30 stocks and dividing it by 30, they look at is as a portfolio that holds one share of each stock. This keeps it proportional among the stock.

The S&P 500 is short for Standard & Poor's Composite 500. This index is better than the Dow because it includes 500 stocks and is a market value-weighted index. This means that the value is calculated based on the market value of the shares outstanding. For example, if one stock has stock outstanding at twice the value of another, it is weighted twice as much.

Market Value Indexes are used to see how to stock market is doing. By looking at how the Dow did last year compared to how it's doing now, we can see relatively how well the market is doing. The same goes for the S&P 500 any other indexes.

If you don't understand the NYSE and how it works, you'll have trouble when buying and selling stock. Understanding the indexes will also help you when you're doing research. Use them to your advantage. - 15790

Work From Home With MLM

By Rick Freeman

For most people, an MLM means having to chase people you know to join up and this isn't a welcome thought. It can be that you do not like to approach strangers even when you are out on business everyday. The MLM method usually brings disappointment and frustration with it when you are told that you will have to try your hard sell on every single person you know. After all, why should anyone want to join an MLM only because they happen to know you? Liking the product and wanting to promote a business through network marketing are different and not all want to be a part of it.

You'll find it more worth your while to go look for people who have an interest in this kind of business. Many people earn a lot using the internet as all MLM give their distributors' free websites for use. All of these sites are very useful when it comes to leading prospects once they have pre-qualified. You might need to use an opt in page or a squeeze page in a blog or web site or even a Squidoo lens in order to promote this site.

Sell yourself first, then your product should be your motto and you'll find that this is the way to go to market anything successfully on the internet. One of the main advantages of taking the time to learn about how the process or marketing your MLM works on the internet, is the fact that you will be able to locate business partners that you would never be able to meet otherwise. Your whole business can be run right from home and you can teach and train people virtually.

MLM and network marketing are all about relationships and just because you are currently using the internet for your marketing means isn't going to change this. One needs to foster relationships not just with the leads generated but also the people on the team. There are a whole lot of free communications services like Yahoo, MSN and Skype that help you keep in touch with all your business partners no matter where they are. Today's technology provides inexpensive, instant, long distance communication, unthinkable a decade ago.

Building an MLM on the internet does not have to be expensive and most are very low cost or even free. One does, however need to put in time and effort for good results as no business can be built on its own. Avoid all scams that promise to build your business on your behalf.

One cannot be successful in network market by hoping for something from nothing, so do not consider using those services that try to attract only such people. Success is achieved by determination and focusing on the matter and putting in the effort needed by the enterprise. - 15790

Work At Home Earning Multiple Streams Of Internet Income

By Judy Turner

If you are like a lot of moms you would love to find a way to make a little extra income and stay home with your children. You don't necessarily have to replace your full time income since after all you would save a lot of money by working at home. No daycare expenses, travel, lunches, wardrobe, etc and a lot more time to fix meals at home instead of expensive takeout. So how do you do it? How can you find a simple way to work at least part time for now? One way is to concentrate on multiple streams of internet income. Wouldn't this be better than falling for some get rich quick scheme that promises several thousand in income per month?

Finding several ways to bring in $5.00 per day might sound a bit difficult at first but there are some great resources online to help you. You just need to start with one way to consistently earn $5.00 per day and once you are consistently earning you can move onto something else. Over time, if you found ten different ways to bring in $5.00 per day then you are now making $50 per day or $1500 per month working at home. This is the power of multiple streams of internet income. No more losing money on get rich quick programs that end up being a scam.

Whether you want to earn money through mlm, sales, niche blogging, copywriting, bum marketing, etc it doesn't matter. There are so many honest ways to make multiple streams of internet income each bringing in about $5.00 dollars a day. In fact, a visit to any work at home forum will bring you all kinds of ideas.

Personally I have been doing home party plans for years but just didn't enjoy it anymore. I prefer working at home on the computer. One of my favorite activities is niche blogging. That alone is great for multiple streams of internet income because after you have built the first one it gets easier. It is also fun coming up with new niches to blog about.

Since meeting other niche bloggers I have learned that article writers are always in high demand. If this is something that interests you then there is your first idea for earning a very realistic $5.00 per day (or more depending on your skills and the amount of work you get, in fact good writers end up getting a lot of repeat business).

By assessing your own skills and learning new ones, you can realistically earn extra money with multiple streams of internet income. - 15790

Will your Melaleuca Business be Profitable

By Darrell Pirtlaw

Human wants are the outward appearance human needs take as influenced by culture and individual personality. A hungry person in India desires mangoes, suckling pig, and beans. A hungry person in the United States wants a hamburger, French Fries, and a coke. Wants are described in terms of culturally influenced objects that will satisfy the need in this case hunger.

Beginning business owners start out trying to satisfy there own desire for increased income, elevated status or social acceptance. Seasoned business owners focus on the wants of their clients. All successful business describe success in terms of the number of people that find value in there products or service.

As a society evolve and grow, the wants of its constituents expand. They are exposed to more objects that pique their interest, interest, and desire. Producers take specific actions to build desire for their products. They try to outline a connection between what they produce and people's needs. They promote their product as a satisfier of one or more particular needs. The marketer does not create the need; it exists.

Melaleuca MLM distribution model is a great way to introduce and promote products in the marketplace. The most efficient distributors focus on marketing the benefits of the products. Most people fail or make small incomes as they never grasp that they should be focusing on the client as verses making money or growing a down line.

The sellers of Melaleuca products often confuse wants and needs. For example, a manufacturer of drill bits may think that the customer needs a drill, but what the customer really needs is a hole. In this sense, there are no products; there are only services performed by produces. To expand a little more, people do not buy Melaleuca products for the brand name they buy these products for the value they perceive.

Some Melaleuca distributors suffer from "marketing myopia." They are so taken with their products that they focus only on existing wants and lose sight of underlying customer needs. They forget that a physical product is only a tool to solve a consumer problem. Identifying potential clients wants is critical to marketing success. Once the future clients want is determined all marketing from that point is focused around satisfying that want.

Beginning distributors are vulnerable to successor products, competing businesses or the next big thing. If a new product comes along that serves the need better or cheaper, the distributor will have the same need but a new want. This is the phenomenon that causes distributor turn over as well as customer turn over. This cycle is referred to as churn.

Successful marketing touches everyone's life. It is the means by which a standard of living is developed and delivered to people. By focusing all business functions and efforts around this basic marketing concept and developing processes to satisfy client wants, a Melaleuca marketing business can and will be successful. - 15790
