How to Start Your Own Business as a Narrator or Voice Over Actor: Fun Part Time Business Opportunity

Have you ever been told that you have a voice for acting? Being a voice actor or actress is very similar to being an actor, but there are some differences. When you are a voice actor, you act with your voice. Meaning, your emotions and fluctuations all are held within your voice as you speak and act your role or narrate a book.

The wonderful news of being a voice actor is that you can do it in your very own home! You can audition from home, record from home, edit from home and submit your recordings from home. Meaning, you can work in your pajamas and never have to leave the house to drive in traffic or go to a boring office! Those are just some of the rewards of voice acting.

So, how do you start your own voice acting business? Everything is almost the same as starting any business. If you haven't had voice training, you need to brush up on your vocal skills; breathing exercises, keeping your voice clear, voice fluctuation, knowing where to pause, etc... You can even take voice acting classes if needed or you can look on the internet and see what books you can order to help you with your voice acting.

How to Start Over 101: Self Employment Jobs, And What to Avoid From Others

How to Start Over 101: Self Employment Jobs, And What to Avoid From Others
By Vince Stead Platinum Quality Author

If you really need to make some extra money, and don't want to waste your valuable time and money trying to figure out what kind of job you would like to do, then you should do research on the internet, or check out some books from your local library.

If you see an ad, advertising they need help making baby bibs or shoes, and you have to purchase the supplies through them, and they will usually tell you they do not meet their quality standards, when you try to send them the finished product, because they are really in the business of selling supplies and membership fees. So use some common sense, and check out each opportunity carefully. If it is usually to good to be true, it probably is. Most businesses are built up, over time.

You should see jobs that tell you how to start them, what the basics are, and how to make money at it. If you want to cook and bake your own muffins, or home dinners, and sell them to your neighbors to start up a small business, that just might work. If you want to buy some yard tools, and start up your own lawn business, you would probably do OK with that also. If you wanted to stuff envelopes for someone, changes are, they would just be selling you the materials, and you would get screwed in the long run!

You should be able to put together all the jobs you think you would have the most interesting and happiness in, since you should do what you like, and if you like it, you should do better in that job. If you hate your job from the beginning, why even go down that road then.

Beware of any company that wants you to send them money right off the bat. If you have to sign up for a membership fee, or pay dues, you should really check the company out thoroughly first before you send them anything.

You could do lots of work at home businesses, that start out small, from the living room to the garage, and then move into a small warehouse or store front, and then before you know it, you are national and have a chain or stores or a giant distribution warehouse, just like most honest businesses do. Just be careful who you send money to, that should be the first red flag you see!

How To Start Your Own $10 Shoe Sales Business

How To Start Your Own $10 Shoe Sales Business
By Vince Stead Platinum Quality Author


You can start your own shoe business, where you can make money selling all kinds of shoes for $10 a pair. You buy the shoes wholesale for various prices that are all well below $10 a pair. You would sell all the shoes for the same price of $10 a pair. Some shoes, sandals, boots, loafers, and other types of shoes, you might get for $3 a pair. Others shoes might cost $5 a pair, and others for even $7 or $8 a pair.

Even if you paid $9 for a pair of shoes wholesale, and sold them for $10, you would still of made $1. That might not sound like a lot, but customers will buy the cheaper shoes also to, and you will make money on those sales. Any sale is better than no sale, but don't stock up on all $9 shoes. Get a lot of the $5 price range, a lot of the under $5 range, and a little bit of the higher range, and blend them all together.

No 2 customers are alike, some might want a pair of sandals, others might want tennis shoes. Just like a dollar store, they have items in there stores they pay from.05 cents each up to.95 cents each, they sell It all for $1.00, but they mostly stock items in the.60 cents range and make on average.40 cents profit on each dollar, that's gross profit, not net. You can buy shoes and sell them at flea markets and swap meets, or open up a store and have a $10 shoe store.

How To Start A Website and Get Lots of Traffic To It

How To Start A Website and Get Lots of Traffic To It
By Vince Stead Platinum Quality Author

You can start your own business, and make good money with your own website, if you do it right. It's not as easy as getting your website built, and then submitting it to the search engines and then bam, you have a million customers at your website buying stuff! If it was that easy, everyone would be doing it! The good news is, if you target your customers just right, and have a nice looking, functional, and shopping cart friendly, easy to navigate website, you should have a good chance at making good sales.

You would want to submit your website to all the free search engines, especially the big ones like yahoo, Google, MSN, AOL and more. There are tons of smaller, less heard of, search engines you can submit to also. Google wasn't always as big as it is today. You will need Meta tags somewhere in your website to be able to get picked up by the search engines, so that is very important for spiders, as they are called, to find you. Some smaller, cheap rate website builders, do not offer this sometimes, so be sure to ask, or you could be wasting lots of money.

If your website sells golf items for instance, you might want to do some advertising in golf magazines for your website. You would also want to join the latest craze of sponsored advertising threw the major search engines, they show the free searches, and then they have other places close by that show the sponsored searches along them that you pay for. You pay a certain amount for click threw, and pick out keywords that people use to type in there own searches when they are searching on the internet for something. You want to use keywords that you think they might type in, to look for something.

When someone does a search with the keywords you picked out, your site pops up, along side other sites. If someone clicks on your site, you get charged a certain amount of money, this is really good advertising and the search engines have been making a lot of money off of this type of advertising instead of just the free search engine results.

Everybody is jumping on the bandwagon. It's a good way to get people to your site that are looking for items you have to sell, you have to monitor your keywords and make sure you are getting your monies worth. The same thing holds true for getting customers to your website threw magazine ads. If you sell motorcycle items, you should advertise in motorcycle magazines to get motorcycle riders to come to your website.

A tennis magazine will probably not pull as many sales as a motorcycle magazine, so don't just advertise anywhere, think about it first. You will need a merchant acceptance account to accept credit cards, there are lots of sites that offer this, and you can do a free search online and see lots of them to pick from. There are some free sites like PayPal.com that might fit your needs, but it's best to have a professional account with each card you take on your website.

How We Bought A New Home From the Builder With No Money Down, and Also Got A Check From Them!

How We Bought A New Home From the Builder With No Money Down, and Also Got A Check From Them!
By Vince Stead Platinum Quality Author

I can actually say that it can be done. We bought a brand new home from Beazer Homes, and it was just at the end of the real estate boom, and we were pretty sure they were trying to get rid of the last houses in that phase. This was our 4th home we were buying.

This is how we got a brand new construction house with no money down, and we even got a check in the mail for a little over $1,100 from the builder, before we ever paid out one penny!

When we got the home, it went by your credit and your stated income. They did not require any down payment, so we figured we could not lose, since we did not have anything into this last house we got. The others we put down payments on.

The builder also had at the time, a sales thing where they said they were giving $15,000 in upgrades. They paid someone to put in a nice yard with some trees, and they also put in a brand new really nice washer and dryer set. But since they did not spend all of the $15,000 in incentives we got with the house, they only spent about $13,900 or so, and they sent us a check in the mail for the other $1,100. And then I can honestly say that we bought a brand new construction house with no money down, and we got a check in the mail also! that was pretty cool.

As a side note, phase 2 that started behind our sold out phase, has a price of over $100,000 less, so we knew why the builder was unloading them kinda. We still have it and rent it out using a property management company, and hopefully the price will go back up someday!

How to Start Your Own 99 Cent Store or Dollar Store

How to Start Your Own 99 Cent Store or Dollar Store
By Vince Stead Platinum Quality Author

If you want to start your own.99 cent store, or dollar store, I can help you out here.

I used to own (2) 99 cent stores in the San Diego area. I had the first one opened in North County in 1990, before most people knew what they were. When I got out of the navy, I was at a swap meet in San Diego, and there was a guy selling stuff, and he was yelling to the people walking by, everything for $1, and he had lots of people buying stuff.

I knew I wanted to get into that business. I drove to Los Angles and drove around, and found a place to buy stuff. This was before the internet was on everyone's desktop.

I came to the conclusion that you make 40 cents on the dollar, in the dollar store business. We used to sell food, toys, cleaning products, jewelry, sunglasses, and so on. I'm sure the bigger chains with super buying power gets even a bigger discount on items. We had 2 products private labeled with our store name on it. I paid.65 cents for each bottle from Hocking International years ago. I had 2,400 bottles of glass cleaner, and 2,400 bottles of green dish soap, made up with my own name on the label, and that was pretty neat, just like all these books I write right now, pretty fun stuff to me.

All the major cities have hubs that you can get products from. Los Angles, Chicago, Miami, New York. If you go to Vernon California, which is a warehouse district in the LA area, you can drive around, and see so many dollar warehouses. They usually paint pictures of the products on the outside of their buildings. Lots of buildings have giant warehouses, with lots of truck roll up door parking.

You would wan to to a search for ASD/AMD trade shows. Lots of close out, liquidation, over stock, discount brands, overseas suppliers, and plenty of dollar store merchandise dealers, are their for your convenience. If you attend just one trade show, you will know where to get everything to open your very own dollar store.

I wrote a book about how to start over 101 businesses. I have listed many of the major suppliers that have been in business for years.
