After a week of our 50% off All Business Books sale, (use promo code BUSINESS),  there has been a definite trend going.  The top TWO most popular business books, followed closely by a third, are not at all a surprise to us, as these business books have always been super sellers for us.

1.  Sewing Machine Repair As A Home Business —  Sewing machine repair is one of the fastest growing professions in the world today!  More than ever before, a profitable home business is where people are making fortunes.  Job security in America has ended.  Build your own security right in your own home!  The average home business now earns over $50,000 a year, and growing.  You only get one whack at life.  Why not build your own home business that gives YOU freedom, security, prosperity and control of your life?

Sewing magazines, fabric stores, high schools and colleges are encouraging women to do their own sewing, as well as sewing for their children, husbands, boy-friends, etc.  Most of these women find true satisfaction and enjoyment in making the family wardrobes on their own sewing machines!

Sewing machines need to be serviced AT LEAST once per year or more if problems come up in the middle of a sewing project.  Sewing machines in places of business (dry cleaners, hospitals, schools, etc.) need to be cleaned and adjusted QUARTERLY.

“Sewing Machine Repair as a Home Business” gives complete instructions exactly how to repair a sewing machine and continues on through to how to advertise and market your services, gives all the forms and samples needed to get in business quickly.  It is interesting to note that it is just average everyday folks like you and me that are looking for a better way to earn a living, or have a desire to get more out of life, or simply want extra money for a new car, new carpeting in the house, college money for the children, that are getting into the home based businesses and are making fortunes from it!

2.  Profitable Clothing Alteration Business —

Do you love sewing? Do you need a little extra money? Or a LOT of extra money? Would you like to stay home with the children instead of working a 9 to 5 job? Would you like to be in control of your own time? Does financial independence sound exciting to you? How about a new car? Would you like to take a “real” vacation this year? Clothing alterations could be your answer!

A lifetime of success can be yours simply by turning your sewing abilities in a profit making direction. Your success is closer than you may think! There are people everywhere in NEED of the service you can provide!

Who would be your customers? Teachers, secretaries, doctors, dentists, friends, neighbors, sales people – nearly EVERYONE in your town would be a potential customer. We’ll show you how to contact them and how to get them to refer you to all of their friends and co-workers. Turning your sewing hobby into a money making business can be done with VERY LITTLE money up front. In fact, we’ll show you how to get started with NO up-front money! We’ve even included a whole NEW section on special services YOU can provide, that no one else in town has even thought of!

3.  Sewing For Plus Size Children As A Home Business —

Sewing for plus size and overweight children is one of the most needed and practical professions in the world today. Never before have the money making opportunities been so great as in this field. Take a look around you and see how many children there are who aren’t “average” size and wouldn’t be able to wear clothing “off the rack” or fit into a pattern they’ve bought at the store. Look how the clothes fit that they are wearing. Are they tight and popping at the seams; or are they loose and hanging at the shoulders and too long in the sleeves, etc?

Most people, including those who sew, have no idea how to alter store bought patterns to fit the plus size, overweight children properly, and for sure wouldn’t know how to use the child’s own personal measurements to make a clothing pattern that would actually fit them.

This is where YOUR sewing experience comes in! A lifetime of success can be yours simply by directing your sewing abilities into a profit making direction. Your success is closer than you may think!

Sewing for Plus Size Children is a wide open field, with literally no competition. Those who learn how to fit overweight boys and girls will have a never ending supply of potential customers. If you already have a sewing machine you can turn your sewing hobby into an extremely profitable money making business with very little or no up front money!

There are other home business manuals, in addition to the three mentioned above.  Depending on what your interests are and the type of hobbies you do will determine the best fit for you.  Any way you look at it, this is the best time to get started in your own home business — and at 50% OFF, you just can’t get a better deal.  The 50% off sale (using promo code business) is good only through September 8, so why not check it out while you’re thinking about it?  You’ll be glad you did!!

How Business Books Jumpstart Your Home Business!

As unemployment continues to skyrocket, every week there are more and more people losing their jobs, reaching the end of unemployment dollars or having their hours cut back so far they can no longer make ends meet.   Now is the time to look into starting your own home business.  There are many home businesses that can literally be started “on a shoestring” as they say.

First, assess your own skills to determine what type of home business you would like to do.  Are you handy with tools?  Do you have a sewing machine?

Probably the most popular business manual we’ve ever had is the “Sewing Machine Repair As A Home Business” manual.  With a depressed economy, millions of people are going “back to basics”, which includes digging out their dusty sewing machines from attics, garages and closets.  These sewing machines need to be checked out or maybe minor repairs done before the owners can set them up for daily or weekly use.  Any person (men, women and teenagers) who are handy with tools can easily get set up with this business!

Our “Profitable Clothing Alterations Business” manual is flying off the shelf.  This is probably the fastest and easiest home business a person could get into.  All you need is a sewing machine and you’re ready to go!  (Everyone I know that has a sewing machine also has a stash of thread so you don’t even have to go out and buy that!)  The Clothing Alteration manual gives quick and easy information on how to get yourself set up to do alterations in your home, how to get the word out and probably best of all, tells you how to get some FREE advertising to get some money rolling in quickly.

The third area I’d like to bring to your attention would probably be the fastest growing business you could imagine.  Check around in your area – in restaurants, schools and malls — just look at all the overweight and obese children!  Next, look at the clothes they are wearing.  Are they wearing clothes so tight that the bottom of the shirt doesn’t meet up with the waist on the pants/skirt?  Are the clothes skin tight and look like the child is about to pop out of them?  Or, are the clothes big and sloppy, so they look like they’re 3-4 sizes too big, but necessary to make the stomach area fit?

Sewing For Plus Size Children is an area that has long been overlooked!  The heavy and overweight children would LOVE to have nice fitting clothes and stylish clothes, and you can jump right into that area of sewing immediately!  There are two ways you could go about sewing for plus size children – first, you could spend a little time learning how to make patterns for the specific child you are sewing for OR, if you prefer to just sew from ready made patterns, Sewing For Plus Size Children has a complete section of ready made patterns to choose from that have been made using actual plus size measurements.

The business manual “Sewing For Plus Size Children As A Home Business” tells you what you need to know to start sewing for the overweight children, in addition to giving you all of the pattern making and pattern altering classes for boys and girls.  We even give resources on where to get supplies and notions wholesale in order to save you money while you’re getting your business up and running.

Don’t wait another day and get deeper in debt — assess your abilities and get a home business started.

Start A Business In THIS Economy???

by Leave a Comment

This could be the BEST economy in which to start a HOME business!

Think about it – if your hours have been cut or you’ve completely lost your job because of a business closing or downsizing of the business, your personal talents and hobbies could help make a home business very profitable!

The July 4, 2009 issue of the Green Bay Press Gazette has an article entitled “Repair shops see boom in business”.  The article talks about a lady, Dorothy Lindenbeck, owner of Dorothy’s Custom Sewing and Alterations, whose business is benefiting from the bad economy.  According to the article, “in tough times, some people find the best place to look for new clothes is in the back of their closets”.   This then means that some of those garments might need an alteration or repair or be updated somewhat – at a much cheaper price than buying something new.  Ms Lindenbeck’s business has seen sales climb, and in fact is looking at a record year for income and profit.

Do YOU have a sewing machine and enjoy sewing?  You, then, are all set to start a sewing and alteration business, right from the comfort of your home.  You could perhaps check out the book “Profitable Clothing Alteration Business”,  to get the low down on how to get your first customers, how to get fr*ee advertising and how you can begin making extra money immediately.  By working out of your own garage or spare bedroom, you literally have NO additional expense while setting up the business – everything is at your fingertips, and you’re ready to get the word out and customers in!

Additionally, another area to explore for making extra money with next to nothing for start up costs is sewing machine repair.  In a previous SewingBusiness post we talked about how the “Sewing machine repair business stands the test of time“.  It is amazing that the first thing people think about when cutting expenses is “bring out my sewing machine” and start sewing again.  The actual truth is that their sewing machine has probably been setting in a closet, in the attic or in the spare room for many years, and now needs a tune up and cleaning in order for them to get back into the sewing habit and start sewing for themselves and their families again.  My husband, Reuben, sewing machine repairman for over 30 years and author of “Sewing Machine Repair As A Home Business” agrees totally with all mention of the repair business growing as the economy shrinks.  He’s been through several of the “downturns” of the economy, and it never failed — “as money got tighter, my business grew by leaps and bounds” as people started stretching their own dollars by renewing their sewing and alteration skills and needing repair on the sewing machines. 

The final analysis is that yes, THIS economy is the perfect economy for starting your own home repair business.
