How can i learn how to make jewelery?
I live in San Diego county and the community colleges around here offer classes all of the time. Even our little city's recreational department holds classes on different aspects of jewelry making that are cheap, but do require a materials fee. Michaels craft stores do too, but most of the time they are beading and construction techniques. That being said, most of what I've learned came from books and you can find some good ones at Michaels and even Barnes & Nobels in the craft section.
How much does it really costs to start a LLC in New York?
It varies somewhat, because there are a few fixed fees plus one or more variable expenses:$250 in filing fees charged by the State of New York.if you use a lawyer to prepare the half-dozen documents that are included in this process then you’ll add legal fees. These vary depending on the lawyer; I charge $900 for this service (for a single-member LLC), as one data point.publication fees. New York, unlike most other states, has an unfortunate requirement that an LLC “publish” its formation — that means that the state government will randomly assign you two publications in which you must publish a classified ad announcing the formation, for six weeks in a row. Depending on which publications the state assigns to you, this could cost you an additional $1,800 or more to run the ads. This is regardless of whether you hire a lawyer or do it yourself.So, minimum out of pocket cost would be probably $1,750 (doing it without an attorney, with less-expensive publications) and closer to $3,000 if you hire an attorney.You asked a fair question about why people say LLCs are “cheap.” Compared to the other common forms of business organizations (corporations, partnerships), LLCs still are pretty affordable to start and to maintain. LLCs can be structured in many different ways, which means that a lawyer can help you design yours in a way that makes it cheap and easy to maintain and manage. Corporations, by contrast, are governed by pretty inflexible state laws, which require you to hold annual shareholder meetings, among other things, which usually means you need to hire a lawyer again each year to prepare the documents relating to those meetings. And partnerships are usually set up by contract, which means you definitely need to pay a lawyer to draft the contract, which is often more expensive than simple LLC documents.FYI: choosing between an LLC, corporation or partnership for your business is a pretty complex issue and the answer to “which one should I pick?” depends on more than just the relative costs. This is one that you should discuss with an attorney and with an accountant.

I wouldn’t do the moving by myself, especially when it comes to long-distance moving.I suggest you to hire a moving company. It might cost more than doing the moving by yourself but it’s worth it.

You have 5 minutes to make the worst flag possible. What do you do?
Freak out and ask if my flag is actually going to be an official flag of some country. (If it does, I’ll feel sorry for that country and the citizens there..)After a couple of questions, I realize I have one minute left - SUGAR HONEY ICED TEA!A couple of scribbling and panic attacks later, time’s up.“Well, this is the best I can do..”, I say, as I hand over my paper sheepishly.“Magnificent, isn’t it, Mr. President?”, the guard beams as he passes the crumbled paper over to the dog sitting by me.“Wait, who’s the president? Don’t tell me it’s that dog!”“Hush, mere human! We must not disturb the sacred god of bacon!”, whispered the guard in my ear.The holy sacred god of bacon sniffs the paper and rests his paw at the bottom left hand corner of the thinly cut bleached wood. His majesty looks up at me, then at the guards, and nods.“Wait, did it get approved..?”, I asked.Suddenly, my vision goes black. Next thing I know, I'm sitting on a cobblestone floor, surrounded with iron bars. It's really dark in here. The only light is coming from a blank white screen on a laptop laying beside my body. It says 'Quora" on the top left hand corner. Huh.“Write, human. WRITE.”, shouted a guard. Except he didn’t look like a guard - he looked more like one of those police dogs. Woof.And so, I am on here, writing this story as it continues. Please help me! I don’t like how the sacred god of bacon looks at me, as if he’s going to pounce and lick me any second. Plus, it smells very strongly of dog. Oh wait, time’s up, gotta g-
What are some unusual ways people make money?
Life For SaleMike Merrill is an unusual man. He divided himself into 100,000 shares and sold them at $1 a share. His shareholders now make his major life decisions for him.Mike’s investors literally run his life and, just as with real companies, sometimes the benefits are short-term and put Mike’s long-term prospects in jeopardy. Picture: Mike Merrill, 35, Works in tech support in Poland Mike has put major life decisions to a shareholders’ vote, including a vasectomy, a polyphasic sleep experiment, a change to his hair color (which the shareholders voted against), buying a new car and breaking up with his first major life partner, shareholder number seven. Shareholders now vote for Mike’s love interests, and he is limited to vegetarian food despite being an avid meat-eater—although the shareholders do allow him to eat fish. Shares of Mike are still available. (anyone interested?)Ian Usher is another man who decided to sell his life and start afresh. He sold his life on ebay for a cool $305,000. He sold everything, including his house, possessions, an introduction to his friends, and even a trial run at his job. To him it was about a new lease on life. He is now a professional speaker, blogger, and writer. With the money he got, he set about living an amazing life and even bought an island off the coast of Panama. On his website, Usher claims he is living a more extraordinary life, that he has left everything behind, and that his old life was horrible. One can’t help feeling that the buyer of his old life got a bad deal.Meet the Man Who Sold His Fate to Investors at $1 a ShareSold life on Ebay
Are permits or licenses needed to sell on Etsy?
I'm not an expert but can share my experiences. I encourage you to consult with a small business attorney. At the very least, take a look at the U.S. Small Business Administration’s guide for starting an online business:More Than Just a Seller - How to Start a Business on an Online Marketplace. Then take a look at their guide to starting a small business. It explains steps to legalize your business at federal and state levels :Choose & Register Your Business. Also check out Etsy’s guide to starting a business with them: Beginner's Guide to Selling on EtsyWhen I started on Etsy I did not obtain any permits, licenses, etc because it was more like a hobby and I didn't expect to really turn the shop into a profitable business. I simply set up the shop and began selling. This is the case with many sellers. I've since decided to legitimize my business and have also begun selling in-person at craft shows, festivals, etc. I registered my business with my home state (free of charge) as a sole proprietorship (you might decide a different business structure works for you) and now I am expected to pay quarterly taxes. I also registered my business/trade name with my county, since I operate as The Washi Pot and not my own name (costs $50). If you have employees or depending on which business structure you choose, you'll need to apply for EIN for federal tax purposes. Since I'm a sole proprietorship I don't need one and taxes are associated with my ss# rather than a separate id#. In my state I’m not required to obtain a permit or certificate for what I sell and neither would a photographer. Something I haven't done yet, but might do is trademark my business name (costs about $300). I'm still investigating whether it makes sense for me to do this. I’m not too familiar with copyrighting, but I know some photographers do this to protect their work. There have been instances where Etsy seller have had their artwork copied or used without permission.Best of luck to you as you start your new business!
