hair straightening product, and started making her own hair products by using only natrual
ingredients. She started her little business with only 2,000 dollars and sold to only her

My Freelance Life

What's My Freelance Life?
It's a work style that offers a lot more freedom than most usual work environments.
The freelancers have a lot of responsibilities but can do everything right at home...they even
get to work in their pajamas. They work for different companies as a technical editor.

How can you get a job as a Freelancer?
First of all you will need experience and must have worked in a regular 9-to-5 job. Also, work
hard at cultivating good relationships with your co-workers and impress them a dazzling
editorial talent. The most important thing is to know people in your industry who might need
freelance help-and who think highly of your talents. You've got to be very forward about
asking these folks to throw some freelance work your way or whether they know anyone else
who can.

Open For Business

What are the steps to show your "open for business" sign?
Step 1: Figure out the type of business you would like to own, then decide where
you want to do it. Either home-based, brick-and-mortar, or e-commerce.
Step 2: Come up with a business plan which generally includes details about you
business, potential customers, competitors, and financing.
Step 3: When you are starting a business you must register your company's name with the secretary of state in the state where you base your business. At that point you will need to choose a business structure. Either corporation, partnership, or limited liability company.
Step 4: You also need to find funding for your business. In which there are several ways, you might use your own money, or with the help of family or friends. Another maybe financing in angel investors, those people invest a significant amount of money in start-up businesses in exchange for a piece of the business and a role in its development.
Step 5: Last comes the hardest part, getting your business off the ground. Promote and sell your goods and services; choose the right people to help manage your business; and put in the hours, days, months, and years it may take to make your business a success.

Career World: Animal Actors Are Safe At Work

Animals working with people? Sounds interesting don't you think? Well many actors have been working with different animals to make a movie seem more interesting and catch more viewers attention, such as little kids, so that movies will sell out. One good thing about movies being made is that the animals werrn't harmed while the movie was being directed. The American Humane Association is the only organization thats certified to give the credit of posting, "No amimals were harmed in the making of this motion picture," to ensure people everythings good. A representative is put on the set to moniter the movis sets and make sure the animals are not being harmed in any way. The basic rule is that any animal that arrives on the movie set will do its job and leave the set unharmed. Not only does the representative protect the animal but must also protect the worker from any of the animals that may become dangerous.
