How to Start a Clothing Business at Home


Are you a person who loves to collect, alter and resell (or create) your own clothing? Are you looking to start a business but aren’t sure how to go about it? Are you tired of “working for the man” and want to start your own business?


For years, I worked as a sales associate at a pricey clothing store. Although prices were high, commissions were low and the atmosphere was dank. 


In a nutshell, I hated my job. 



When I got a promotion to the main office, commissions stopped and the work got worse. My boss was a total jerk and wouldn't let me take time off during a family emergency (even though I was one of the top producers in the office). 


 
To add insult to injury, he refused to let me call home to check on my 2 year old daughter during work hours (as a single mom, I needed the assurance that she was OK).


So one day when my jerky boss decided to take a long lunch, I hopped on the web and started researching how to start a clothing business of my own. It seemed… More than complicated. There were licenses involved, filing requirements, legal requirements, financial requirements, yadda yadda. Now keep in mind, that’s all within the “traditional” box.


So I started to think outside the box. What if I could do it all online? What if I could be my own boss? What if I could do it with only a computer and the products I want to sell? 




What if I could do it without any employees?


And then through some random miracle of Google, the answer came up through an avenue called SaleHoo.


At first I was reluctant – I mean, in all honesty I really didn’t know much about how to start a clothing business even though I had worked for a clothing company. I had good people skills and was a proficient seller, but the real driving factor was my 2-year old daughter; I wanted to provide a better life for her.


When I looked through the material and saw that there was a 60 day money back guarantee, I went for it, and thank goodness I did!

 
SaleHoo offered unique business advice and tips on using e-bay, which was free to set up. 



It also included a free market research software tool and connected my manufacturers directly to me. That was probably the best part – not having to go out and beg, borrow or dig for niche clothing at swap meets or yard sales.

SaleHoo also offered tips on powerselling, drop-shipping, and hot new markets and items that I could sell in addition to clothing. In a word, it was AWESOME!


So… All I can say is this: if you want to be like me before I took charge; do nothing. But if you want to begin your journey into financial freedom with your very own clothing business, visit SaleHoo’s website by clicking
HERE.


And by the way, after using the methods suggested by SaleHoo, sales were so high that I quite my crappy job after just one month!

Michael Savage

Do you feel a little better today and can't figure out why? Does the world seem a little brighter, less bitter, smell better, and have a certain 'zip-a-dee-doo-dah' vibe today?

It might be because Michael Savage won't be on the radio "for some time". (The full story is here.) Unfortunately, it won't last. He's already negotiating to hook up with a different company.

Nevertheless, until he does, the world will be a little less "spewy".

Operation Unlike

Facebook has launched a crackdown on fake "Likes", calling the project "Operation Unlike". Apparently, fake accounts have been created simply to like certain people, companies or products, and Facebook wants to get rid of them. Some have seen their "Like" numbers go way down.

Not me. I guess I'm not fake liked.

Sniff. They like me. They really, really like me.*

Cubs 365, September 28

On this day in 1938, the second place Cubs were playing the first place Pittsburgh Pirates at Wrigley Field. It was the bottom of the ninth, the score was tied 5-5, and Cubs catcher Gabby Hartnett stepped to the plate.

The umpires were sure to call the game because of darkness if the Cubs didn't score in the bottom of the inning. No one knows how Hartnett even saw that ball from Pittsburgh pitcher Mace Brown, but Gabby knocked it out of the park, in a moment that will always be remembered as the "Homer in the Gloamin." The Cubs overtook the Pirates for first place, and clinched the pennant a few days later.

It sounded like this on the radio.

All these years later, "The Homer in the Gloamin'" remains the second most famous home run in Wrigley Field history.

Dave Fogel

The morning man at WLS-FM in Chicago did his last show yesterday. (Robert Feder has the details) If you didn't listen to the program, his name was Dave Fogel and he had been the morning man there for the past two years.

I interviewed him for Chicago Radio Spotlight when he arrived.

In the interim the new morning man will be Tom O'Toole, but don't be surprised if a certain mustachioed Michigander takes over that slot soon. (That's a Fred Winston reference for those of you who don't follow my cryptic subtleties.)

Jim Rome

From this morning's RAMP Newsletter...

"It's an announcement that Jim Rome himself would describe as "Epic!" -- CBS Sports Radio has signed nationally awesome sports personality Jim Rome as the newest piece of the personality line-up when the 24/7 radio network launches next year. The Jim Rome Show will run live weekdays from noon-3pm ET beginning Wednesday, January 2, 2013. "Jim would be at the top of any list highlighting sports radio's most authoritative and opinionated hosts, which is exactly why we're thrilled to welcome him to CBS Sports Radio," said CBS Radio Pres./CEO Dan Mason. "We're building a network that showcases the incredible assets of CBS Radio and CBS Sports, and creating a strategic opportunity for growth in this untapped marketplace. Jim's presence in this marquee time period adds strength to our lineup and exceptional value to our advertisers."

I certainly hope CBS doesn't force all of their sports stations to carry him. In Chicago, CBS owns the Score, and I for one, would much rather hear Dan McNeil in that time slot. Maybe it's just me, but I've always considered Rome to be the most overrated sportscaster in the country. There's something about his delivery that has always rubbed me the wrong way.

Cubs 365, September 27

On this day in 1876, the last game of the first official National League season was played. The Chicago White Stockings (today's Cubs) beat the Hartford Dark Blues 16-10. Because Chicago ended the season seven games ahead of the second place St. Louis Brown Stockings, they were declared the champions.

Among the players on that team: Hall of Famers Albert Spalding (a 47-game winner that season) and Cap Anson (who batted .356). Neither of them were the biggest star of that team, however. That honor went to second baseman Ross Barnes, who led the league in hitting (.429), runs, hits, doubles, triples, and walks.

Of course, modern day fans would barely recognize the 1876 game because they played with very different rules. Very different.

For instance, the pitchers mound was only 45 feet away from home plate. The pitchers threw underhand, and batters could request either high or low pitches. If a ball bounced over the fence, it was a homer...and some fences were less than 200 feet away from home. It also took nine balls to get a walk, and a foul ball was an out if it was caught on one bounce.

Like we said, very different.

But a championship is a championship, and no one can take away Chicago's glorious 1876 title.

World's Most Popular Beer

The top ten most popular beers in the world are listed here.

You'll recognize most of them. The list includes a few American favorites like Miller Lite (#8), Coors Light (#7), Budweiser (#3), and Bud Light (#2), and a few international beers that are very common here like Heineken (#6) and Corona (#4), but there are four beers on this list that I've never heard of--and I know a little bit about this subject.

Two of them are popular in Brazil--Brahma (#9) and Skol (#5). One of them is popular in Japan--Asahi Super Dry (#10). But the thing that really shocked me is that I've never heard of the #1 most popular beer in the entire world. It's called "Snow Beer" and it's from China.

Of course, this list just proves that the entire world is stupid. How can there not be a single German beer on this list? I get it that the Germans have done some less than admirable things over the last few centuries, but there is one thing that they have consistently done better than anyone else in the world for the last five hundred years or so--brew beer. Bud Light (!?!) would be embarrassed to be in the same room as a good German beer.

Good thing I'm not taking it personally.

RIP Andy Williams

A father discovered his 13-year-old son had downloaded a bunch of porn onto his computer. How did the dad handle this? He wrote him a letter, essentially saying he wasn't doing anything wrong, but he needs to be careful so he doesn't ruin the computer.

I have had "the talk" with my two older boys, but we've never really discussed porn. I guess I better do that. Ugh. There's nothing I enjoy more than incredibly awkward conversations with teenage boys that don't want to talk about anything.

Cubs 365, September 26

On this day in 1989 the Cubs clinched a division title. The Little Engine That Could ("The Boys of Zimmer") did it in the least glamorous location in the big leagues--Montreal's Olympic Stadium. Only 11,000 fans were in the stands, and in that huge ballpark, it looked like half as many.

Greg Maddux was sharp on the mound for the Cubs. He gave up only one extra base hit all game (a double to Tim Raines), but he ran out of gas in the bottom of the ninth. Mitch "the Wild Thing" Williams was brought in to close it out. He got pinch hitter Wallace Johnson to pop out to second for the second out.

That left it up to another Expos pinch hitter, Mike Fitzgerald. With the tying run on third base, Williams reared back and fired. He ended the game the way every clinching game should be ended; STRIKE THREE!

The Who

According to Mitch Michaels' "Today in Rock History", on this day in 1965 the Who got into a little tiff...

"1965, At the end of a European tour Roger Daltry knocked out Keith Moon and was sacked from The Who. The band were playing two shows in one night in Denmark, when an argument broke about between all four band members. Daltry was reinstated the following day."

This is what The Who looked and sounded like in 1965...

Cubs 365, September 25

On this day in 1995, Cubs pitcher Frank Castillo pitched the best game of his life.

He didn't give up a hit through eight innings, and went into the top of the ninth inning with a 7-0 lead against the Cardinals. First he faced pinch hitter Terry Bradshaw and struck him out for his 12th strikeout of the game. The second batter of the inning, pinch hitter Mark Sweeney, was his 13th victim.

That brought up Bernard Gilkey. Wrigley Field was rockin' as strike one was called. The fans were on the edge of their seats when Gilkey got strike two. Castillo needed just one more strike to complete the no-hitter.

Unfortunately, Bernard Gilkey wasn't playing along. He stroked the next pitch down the line for a triple, ending Castillo's bid for immortality.

Castillo's final pitching line for the day: 9 IP, 1 H, 0 R, O ER, 2 BB, 13 Ks

When you're pushing 90 years old you have to start at least pretending that you won't be around forever. That's probably why Viacom and CBS chairman Sumner Redstone named a successor this weekend: Viacom CEO Philippe Daumann.

The 60 Minutes Interviews

I watched both candidate interviews on 60 Minutes last night, and I must say, I was impressed by the interviewers Scott Pelley and Steve Kroft. Those were not softball interviews, and both candidates looked a little nervous under the questioning. You can tell that neither one of these guys is accustomed to getting tough questions like this anymore. They better toughen up before the debates.

Of course there were a few questions I would have liked asked that weren't, and they did let them off a few times without additional follow ups (although honestly I think you could follow up a million times and they wouldn't give straight answers to a couple of questions), but there was a lot of ground to cover, and they covered nearly all of it.

I hope the moderators of the debates do this well.

Cubs 365, September 24

On this day in 1984, the Cubs clinched their first post-season appearance in 39 years. They did it in Pittsburgh against the Pirates.

Rick Sutcliffe was on the mound for the Cubs, and he was masterful. The Cubs scored in each of the first three innings and never looked back. Sutcliffe went the distance, dramatically striking out Joe Orsulak for the final out of the game.

The entire city (OK, half the city) of Chicago went wild.

I once interviewed for a job with Jay Beau Jones. At the time he was the program director of our competitor Jammin' Oldies. He wanted me to produce the show for Doug James, his morning host at the time. James had some help on the air every week from radio legend Larry Lujack. (I said no to the job and stayed with John Landecker's show). Apparently that experience working with Larry Lujack inspired Jay Beau Jones. He has written a book, according to this morning's RAMP Newsletter...

"Veteran programmer Jay Beau Jones has gathered a bunch of heartfelt, real-life stories and assembled them into an inspiring new book, Heroes, Mentors, and Friends: Learning From Our Spiritual Guides. Jones, who wrote the book under his real name, John Dowd, Jr., describes Heroes, Mentors, and Friends as "a collection of stories from positive people reminding us why we got into the business we love called radio. It also takes a look at the journey of who we are on the inside, helping us enrich our lives on the outside...I really enjoyed sharing three particular stories about three great heroes of mine: Rick Dees, Larry Lujack and a New England TV hero, Rex Trailer," he said. "Every time I read Heroes, Mentors, and Friends the spark that is alive in me re-ignites and helps me remember why I got into our great business." Heroes, Mentors, and Friends is available now through Balboa Press and can be purchased on Amazon.com."

Because I once worked in radio, I'm often asked what radio station I listen to in the car. If I'm going a long distance, I'll usually turn on the radio and listen to either talk radio (sports, news, etc) or classic rock (usually The Drive or XRT).

But if I'm going short distances, I usually listen to nothing. I enjoy it. I enjoy the silence.

David Bryne of the Talking Heads was asked a similar question, and he had a similar response. I really enjoyed his piece in Smithsonian Magazine.

By the way, for you kids out there who have never seen David Bryne perform. You're really missing something. Here's an example from the mid-80s...

I Love Lucy

CBS still owns the rights to the classic television show "I Love Lucy". Care to guess how much money "I Love Lucy" brought in last year, more than 50 years after it signed off?

$20 million.

The Obamas on The View

According to the Associated Press, the Obamas are making their first joint appearance on The View next week. Be careful, Mr. President. Remember what Mitt Romney said on that hidden videotape. Those ladies have sharp tongues.

Cubs 365, September 21

On this day in 1983, Ferguson Jenkins won his 284th and final big league game.

He came in to relieve Cubs starter Chuck Rainey in the 6th inning, with the Cubs leading the game 5-4. Jenkins helped get Rainey out of trouble that inning, but in the seventh Fergie struggled after getting the first two outs. The rest of that inning included a walk, a balk, a single, a double, and an error by a young Cubs second baseman named Ryne Sandberg. Two unearned runs came across the plate, and the Pirates had the lead 6-5.

But because the Cubs scored twice in the bottom of the seventh (thanks to a sacrifice fly by Jody Davis and an RBI single by Larry Bowa), Fergie was the pitcher of record when the dust settled.

It wasn't a thing of beauty, but in a career filled with tough-luck 1-0 losses, it seems only fair that Fergie's final win would be a cheap one. He retired after the season, and was elected into the hall of fame in 1991.

Mel's Exit Looms

From this morning's Radio Online...

"More fuel to the speculative fire that Sirius XM CEO Mel Karmazin may be leaving the company. With the Sirius XM most likely soon to be controlled by Liberty Media, Karmazin has admitted he is uncertain about his future. Meanwhile, an SEC filing from yesterday shows Karmazin exercised options to purchase more than 5 million shares of SIRI stock at 43 cents per share, then immediately sold the stock at prices of $2.37 to $2.45 per share. Per the filing, the options were exercised on September 17, 18, and 19, and purchased in blocks of 3,462,700, 950,000, and 740,000 shares. Each block of stock was sold the same day netting Karmazin a profit of around $10 million."

Yup, he's a goner. And once again, he's walking away a very very rich man.

Revolution

The new NBC show "Revolution" had a Cubs angle. From the website Policymic...

"The show, about a future without electricity, featured three of its main characters traveling across the post apocalyptic landscape of Chicago, Illinois, including Wringley Field, the home ballpark of the MLB Chicago Cubs, where a rusty marquee reads: "2012 World Series Champions."

As Yahoo Sports points out, the day the trailer came out, the Cubs' record was 14-20, and had been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. Furthermore, the show's producers then digitally erased the Cub's World Series championship, effectively revoking the Cubs' fictional victory, prompting online mockery from the team's critics who highlighted the Cubs haven't been able to win World Series since 1908."

(Sigh)

A Fine Mess

My "A Fine Mess" contribution to the latest issue of Shore Magazine is called "Fashion Faux Pas of the Fashion Criminally Insane."

I didn't write the headline. I just lived it.

Lilo-Interruptus

I must admit, even though I'm a father of three, I found this story hilarious. It's about a mother who taped "Lilo & Stitch" for her kids, and a porno popped up in the middle of the movie, while they were watching it. I'm glad it didn't happen to me, but there are a few laugh out loud moments in the mom's description.

I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't be laughing. But funny is funny.

The Forbes 400

The list of the richest 400 Americans was published this week by Forbes. #1 on the list again--Bill Gates ($66 billion). #2: Warren Buffett ($46 billion). #3: Oracle's Larry Ellison ($41 billion). New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg also made the top ten (#10).

There are a few other names you may recognize. Rupert's on the list (#36). This year he's tied with Mark Zuckerberg. Sumner Redstone is #91.

Hollywood has a few on the list too: Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Oprah Winfrey.

Tom Skilling Signs 10-year Deal

Weatherman Tom Skilling is still the number one reason people tune into WGN-TV news at night, so it seems only fitting that they've locked him up to a long-term deal.

Robert Feder has the details.

This deal will take him to his 70th birthday.

WJOB Hammond

I know a bunch of Chicago radio pros who got their start working at WJOB in Hammond, Indiana. It's still going strong, and will soon be celebrating its 90th anniversary.

You read that right. 90th anniversary.

Shore Magazine has a nice story about them. I love the picture of the record library. Reminds me of the record library at my old college radio station WPGU.

Emoticons Turn 30


This was news to me.

ABC News did a story about the history of emoticons. Would you believe they started 30 years ago...at Carnegie Melon University?

Brightline

It looks like amazon has a new competitor in the e-book market. It's called "Brightline" and it's financed by Barry Diller and Scott Rudin. Diller has been a media bigwig for many years, and Rudin is an Oscar-winning movie producer.

I'm all for it.

Amazon has been systematically trying to crush it's competition. It will take some big boys with deep pockets to compete.

60 Minutes

The presidential candidates will both be interviewed this weekend on 60 Minutes. Obama will be interviewed by Steve Kroft and Romney will be interviewed by Scott Pelley.

It should be a good apples vs. apples comparison for the five or six undecided voters still left in America.

Cubs 365, September 20

On this day in 1930, Hack Wilson got a single against the Boston Braves, and set a record for most RBI in a season. When the season ended a week later, Hack had added to his total, finishing with an unbelievable 191 RBI.

It is probably the best hitting season in National League history. He scored 146 runs, hit a then NL record 56 homers, batted .356, and single-handedly accounted for 33% of the runs the Cubs scored that year.

Unfortunately for Hack, it was also the beginning of the end of his time in Chicago. Because the Cubs choked away the pennant in the closing weeks of that season, manager Joe McCarthy was fired and replaced by Hack's teammate (and nemesis) Rogers Hornsby. The two men would fight and bicker throughout Hack's very disappointing 1931 season, and Wilson would be a St. Louis Cardinal by 1932.

He never again approached his astounding numbers of 1930.

Royko at 80

Mike Royko was born 80 years ago today. I was fiddling around the internet looking for Royko stuff and found this incredible blog post.

It features a letter that Frank Sinatra once wrote to Royko, and it ain't a nice one. I love it!

Of course, I have my own Royko story which I've shared in this space many times. You can read that here.
