How to Start a Mobile Services Business

A mobile business can offer you more flexibility than a fixed business. The start-up costs are significantly less. Also, plenty of mobile business owners operate on a part-time basis and work only during certain seasons or events. No matter how much time you intend to invest in your business, you'll need to start with a plan.

Select a location for your business. You may attend fairs, flea markets or festivals (contact your city bureau for a vending permit) or have a relatively fixed locale in a busy parking lot (contact property managers about using their property). The biggest advantage to a mobile business is that if your location doesn't work, you can simply scratch it and move on until you find one that does.

Invest in any necessary training. For instance, to open a coffee and breakfast van, you will need barista training. To open a mobile auto detailing business, you will need to know about proper care for different types of upholstery and how to eliminate stubborn stains and odors. If a certification is offered for your service, consider getting it. This will give you an edge over your competition and reassure wary customers.

Contact your county clerk to obtain the proper permits and licenses for your mobile service business. At minimum, you will need zoning approval for your business location. If entering food service, you'll need to familiarize yourself with your county's health codes and have your commercial vehicle inspected. You'll need to purchase liability insurance and auto liability insurance if your current auto insurance won't cover your mobile business.

Establish your interests. Nowadays, most service-based businesses have gone mobile. From coffee vans to mobile auto detailing, the possibilities are limitless. Select a career in an area that you are particularly knowledgeable or that interests you. Then look for competitors in your local area to help you further narrow your options. If the competition is high, you may want to select a different business.

Contact a merchant account provider to obtain a merchant account for your mobile business. If you intend to accept credit and debit cards, you will need a wireless terminal, a cell phone or laptop to process your orders. You may also need a credit card imprinter in order to provide the customer with a receipt.

Purchase a commercial vehicle that can accommodate your business. Invest in professional signage for your vehicle. Contact suppliers to purchase wholesale goods. If serving food, visit local farmers and caterers to purchase your food.

Difficulty: Moderate

找到一个可以替代ghs.google.com的地址

用Goole Blogger的自定义域名功能需要用到 ghs.google.com 做CNAME,或者用ping ghs.google.com 得出的IP做一个A记录.但是,伟大的GFW已经把 ghs.google.com 和部分IP屏蔽在大陆之外.这样的壮举使得我们的自定义域名不能正常访问,或者让你的网页背景.图片被滤掉,精心做成的模板变得惨白不堪. 那么,我们可不可以找一个替代 ghs.google.com 的地址呢?当然能.因为Google是强大的.它有许多有用的IP地址让你去探寻. 对 ghs.google.com 分析研究后发现, ghs.google.com 这台服务器并没有提供实质性的服务,而只是选择访问者访问最快的服务器(Google全球性公司,很多地区都有服务器).我们只要找到其他服务器的IP地址,并且这个IP地址没被屏蔽,那么就成了. 寻找这样的IP地址需要用到tracert命令.即在CMD模式下输入:tracert ghs.google.com ,在已经屏蔽的当下,最后自然得不出结果,这就需要我们使用代理了.使用不同地区的代理运行tracert ghs.google.com 命令. tracert ghs.google.com 的最后一跳会有类似这样的域名: eh-in-f121.google.com 如果在不用代理的情况下,你能ping通这个域名,那么恭喜你,你找到了!现在就可以用这个域名代替 ghs.google.com 设置你的CNAME了,ping出的IP地址可以做A记录,CNAME和A记录,只做其中之一就可以. hs-in-f121.google.com 64.233.179.121 eh-in-f121.google.com 72.14.207.121 bx-in-f121.google.com 66.249.81.121 ik-in-f121.google.com 66.249.91.121 这4个在我所在地区不能使用,而可以使用 tw-in-f121.google.com 72.14.235.121 或者209.85.171.121也可用 下面是一些不断更新的:74.125.43.121 除了使用代理来寻找,也可以通过一些网站提供的功能来寻找这个地址,很方便,就是使用网站提供的Traceroute.这些网站有: h...
