Thanks!

oh ok. well i was wondering that as well, its my new years resoloution to get this thing going, right now is planning exacty how its gonna run, they say most buisnesses die out because of lack of planning, dont want to be one hehe. i dont know exactly how to go about advertising either, i was going to call a few service providers and just start asking, also a appartment complex that im guessing has a lot of turnovers, ive got some card ideas but how would i distribute them lol... im good at the service, and i think i can whirl up some good buisness ideas but my main thing is service so the switch is a big one but i plan to learn as much as i can, i want to build the best car and be able to drive it

Each type of incorporation has benefits, perhaps this (below) will help and you can Google information.

Articles of Incorporation (USA) Form - LawDepot

And yes, that was basically what I was referring to, law suits. All forms of incorporating will give some level of protection. Sorry, I assumed that you may know that, it could save your butt. Along with liability insurance.

awesome... yea not your bad you'd assume somebody doing this would know a little more about whats going on. i might just go with the Sub s, i will have to do my research on it TY for the site info, im not scared or lazy about it, just havent done it yet, i have so much excitement for starting it and trying to make it grow!!! i appreciate your input stringer and clough, dont be suprised if i ask upon your wisdom of this subject in the near future!!

What sort of card ideas do you have, please?

Thanks!

well i sketched up a logo idea, im meeting up with a person who makes graphics, i joined google, would it be better to make like a godaddy site, you prove a good point not only is it free but most people dont check the phonebook any more with google running the show

I don't pay for ads in the phone book anymore because most of my new business comes to me because of word-of-mouth and because of the free ads and free websites that I have on the Internet. However, there still are those people who don't use computers at all and will rely on the phone book.

godaddy.com costs money to use. It doesn't have to cost you any money at all to get excellent exposure on the Internet.

As far as making cards and fliers of any sort, how about making them yourself? I make all of mine myself. Saves me money that way.

Thanks!

Did we lose you here, a2daj216?

Night Clough...1:10 AM, need some sleep before I start working again tomorrow....

Clough · Oct 27, 2009, 11:31 PM

Goodnight, Stringer!

I hope that your day is really productive, tomorrow!

I'm house and dog sitting right now, so I have a really fast Internet connection. Am trying to take advantage of having that with renewing ads and updating websites.

Thanks!
