Carol asks…

How do I start a small business that sells eco-friendly, homemade products?

I can make hats, lavender bags, soap, bath salts, purses, jewelry… I’ve been looking into a website called Etsy but I want to really get my name out there and eventually turn it into a full business with a shop, employees, etc.

I’m 17 years old, yes I am a little young to start a business but this is something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. I’ve already got some products made and I can probably work on it throughout this Summer and next school year. I just need a LOT of advice, thank you.

The Expert answers:

Hi Pixie,

If you are interested in a making this into a business, I’d recommend creating a small business website that allows you to have a professional web presence. Office Live Small Business is a great place to do this! It gives you everything you need to create your website for as little as $15/year. You can also add PayPal to your site, so you’ll be able to sell everything right online. It is very simple to use, and if you do have questions there is online support to help. 🙂

Best of luck with the business!

Cheers,

William asks…

Brand name eco-friendly cleaning products?

Go green!

The Expert answers:

Arm and Hammer just came out with some new ones. The best part is that you get the spray bottle and a little tiny bottle of the cleaner, which you mix with water in the big sprayer. When you need refills, you just buy more of the tiny bottles. That means less plastic is produced or used.

Lizzie asks…

Eco-friendly/green alternatives to Moleskine notebooks?

I am a big fan of these notebooks. However, I dislike how they are manufactured in China, apparently use DEHP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moleskine) and have now become more of a franchise than the simply black notebook I used to love.

Recommendations for alternative brands? Preferably recycled or ecofriendly products would be wonderful!

The Expert answers:

Start insisting on the Mead fabric covered binders. Oxford might have some too.
