I have an online business and it’s going pretty well, but I’ve hit a wall: I want to establish and set up an 800 toll free number for customers to call, a number that goes straight to voicemail, but lets me easily call them back to answer questions or concerns, help track shipments, etc. But how do I set up a toll free number without paying a ton of money?
Yo Dave! So I’m looking 2 trademark my group’s name, and once its trademarked will I get a certain certificate of trademark to show it’s legit?
I’ve spent the last year or two updating and adding to my LinkedIn profile and it has a ton of information about me. But now the job I’m applying for wants a resume from me and I really don’t want to create one from scratch. Is there a way to export my profile information from LinkedIn so I can sidestep the problem?
I contacted PayPal and got their little blue triangle card reader for use with the “PayPal Here” application, so I can process credit card transactions while at my art booth at the local street fairs. Terrific. But how do I actually use the app for these sort of transactions?
I’m trying to come up with a new name for our software product, having been informed by a customer that a really big firm that has lots of lawyers already has our current name trademarked. Ugh. We don’t have money for a lawyer at this juncture, is there some way I can do a trademark or registered trademark search online?
I wanna ask you about LinkedIn. What’s the best practice to fill out the CURRENT POSITION Field when you are not working and looking for a job?
I own a pretty successful bike shop in a college town, and I still handle all our books. I can never seem to make sense of how much it’s really costing me to accept credit cards. I’ve switched three times in the past 8 years and every time a new sales rep tells me he can beat my old rate. The last guy’s rate was lower than the previous one, but then it jumped up after only 3 months and now it’s higher than my original rate, and on top of that it will cost me a boatload if I cancel early! How can I protect myself from the confusing and tricky credit card processing industry and, for that matter, is there any way I can get out of this slimy contract with my current card processing service?
A new client recently asked me if they could pay my invoice with a credit card. I’m not set up for credit cards, however, but remember that there’s a way that I can use my Paypal account for this. I know there’ll be a small transaction fee, which they’re willing to add, but how do I send them a request to pay me? I don’t want their credit card info…
