A Good Idea Book to use as a Starting Point,
By
This review is from: 202 Things You Can Make and Sell for Big Profits (202 Things You Can Make & Sell for Big Profits) (Paperback)
This book is really divided into two big parts.
The first seventy pages or so is pretty general in nature and talks about things like setting up a company, financing, employees, where to put it, accounting and taxes. These are things that every business has to do and you'll have to do most of it. I only have two comments about this section. On page 12 he talks about selecting the company name and checking to see that the name is clear. Then way back on page 50 he talks about getting a domain name for your web site. That's backwards. Get the domain name first. This day and age you need a web site even if you're just putting up your name and phone number. After, in the second and larger part of the book he lists the 202 things (I didn't count them, I presume someone did and that there are really 202). I'd suggest that you view this kind of like a brainstorming session. You probably won't want to do any of these 202 things, but if you can take idea number 72 and combine it with idea 186, and modify the result to suit your own needs, you may well indeed come up with something you can use to create a business. One point to remember, labor rates are very cheap overseas. You may not want to do the actual manufacturing yourself unless you can provide some art or personalized service that someone in China can't do.

Great Place to Begin,
By Monika Selner (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 202 Things You Can Make and Sell for Big Profits (202 Things You Can Make & Sell for Big Profits) (Paperback)
I liked this booked a lot. As a stay at home parent it gives me just the type of information I need to start an easy business, while working at home. Lots of ideas about products to make. Lots of ideas about how to sell the products you make. My only negative point is it didn't go into enough detail about how to build a web site, but overall the book provides excellent information.
