Home Business

Posted by diggerb2 (My Page) on

I know this is off topic-- somewhat.

I'm looking for a forum that is geared to growing a home based business. I provide personal chef services, catering and baked goods from my home. (In ohio, I'm allowed to do the baking as long as my home capacity doesn't exceed 1000 loaves per hour. Catering is an extension of personal chef services where i do the prep for a party on site.)
eventually, i'd like to be able to afford to have a real kitchen/office from which i can work-- but i need to get sales up to about $50,000 to afford the additional overhead.

I really need to start to interact with other people that work from home in some nature of creative endeavor.
and was hoping to get directed to a forum that wopuld help with my needs.

Thanks

diggerb

Are you a member of any small business associations? Can you leave cards in gourmet shops? Williams Sonoma, Sur La table, etc? You might also consider putting up flyers at athletic clubs or places where busy, high-income people congregate. Check out the food forums at Garden Web. Someone there is bound to have a suggestion or two.

johnhanry,

I think you might be preaching to the choir trying to spam us folks here with your pyramid scheme. You might want to ask that your post be removed before it is removed for you and you get banned permanently, not that you would even care...sigh.

RE: Home Business

I am not sure what the rules are, but I think there is a big difference between somebody trying to sneak in a promotion of a favorite company or product and someone who offers a variety of websites that might be useful to someone trying to set up a business. I had the impression that the person was trying to be helpful, not trying to steer anyone in a partiular direction.
