Everything depends on LOCATION, CUSTOMERS, ADVERTISING.\n\nIt all costs money.  Franchises fees are not cheap either.  You may have to purchase all the supplies from the company.\n\nI have a friend that owns several McDonald's.  His sales fluctuate with the weather, news reports on healthy food, whether or not the local team won, what toys are in the Happy Meals.  He is not rich, by any means.  He is ALWAYS at work, dealing with situations that arise.

Depends on what level of management you're wanting to get into, what kind of market the store is in, and a lot of other things. Base pay for department sups can start off at about $12, but if you're in a larger market (with higher cost of living) I've heard of it getting up to $17-18. For a zone or assistant manager, I'm guessing between 30-40k but not too sure about that.

Franchises are good if you have good to fair credit and the upfront franchise fees as well as first 6 months of operating cash flow available. Be careful and check your area competition first, always request the a copy of the franchise UFOC prior to signing anything they are required to give this to you prior to signing, this will disclose all hidden fees and charges you will have. I own a franchise and just about folded my business due to cash needed initially the first year and finding employees who help.  Franchisors only give you the tools to gain the advantage over your competitors but you must make sure that you follow thru with the tools they give you. Remember that you will also have fees monthly to pay to the franchisor and you are limited sometimes on territory area and product line.  I would not purchase a franchise if I had to do it all over again, as the money that I spent initially and fees charged monthly I could have made more doing it myself. Owning a franchise requires you to have higher gross sales as well as higher costs to your customors to maintain same profit margin as your competitor who does not have all the extra overhead. The key to any business is a plan for your operation, marketing, sales, production/employees.  Hope this helps

A franchise is not something you can run "on the side." They are fairly expensive, and the franchisors demand full commitment to the business. \n\nTotal investment for Subway, for example is estimated to be between $70K-$120K http://www.entrepreneur.com/franzone/details/1,5885,12-12---282839-1,00.html?section=costs -- that is not the type of money for an "on the side" business. Supercuts is even more expensive, with startup costs between $107K-170.1K. http://www.entrepreneur.com/franzone/details/1,5885,12-12---282848-1,00.html?section=costs Plus you've got franchise fees and other monthly fees you need to pay out.\n\nIf you need a business on the side, you may want to check out the home businesses listed in the article "10 Weekend Home Businesses" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol67/weekend.htm as these are the types of businesses that you can easily do a few days a week or over the weekend.

I don't know where you're living, but I used to charge $60 / hour. I had a friend who charged around $90. From what I've seen $60 - $120 / hour are within industry standards. You don't want to gouge people, but I think $30 an hour is too low, especially for jobs that involve travel. If you put a high value on your work, others will, too. If you put a low value on your work, others will, too.\n\n[edit: I would have charged about $150 for a 2.5 hour job. My friend would have charged about $225. He used to scold me for charging too little! Of course, this was in central New Jersey, near Princeton, which is a pretty heavy populated, well-off area. I never had any complaints about my rates being unreasonable. If I remember correctly, some of the franchise repair businesses, like Geeks on Call, charge up to $120 an hour. Seriously, I would recommend raising your rates to $45 or $60. If it doesn't work out, you can always lower them again. Best of luck to you!]

Most of the profit making of a store is actually VERY SMALL.  Most stores have sales in the way of what is called "loss leaders".  These are things like paper towels, toliet paper, sometimes meats, frozen foods etc that they place on SALE and are not making money on.  But while you are in the store puchasing these items, you pick up milk, pasta, bread and so on.  They make money on the stuff you pick up a dime at a time on the extras that go in your basket.  Most of the items they are making money on is placed on what are called ENDCAPS.  The ends and beginnings of each aisle.  Also by the checkout lanes, when they have one last chance for your kids to beg for candy, gum and you can pick up your latest issues of the Enquirer and see what Anna Nicole is up to this week.  Thats the last area before you leave the store for them to pick up a few more dollars off you.  Hope this helps you.

Opportunities to make Passive income is all around us. We don't recognize it because we have our own mental blocks or perceptions.\n\nOne of the best option that is working well for me is Private Franchising. Am really happy abt it. It might be an oasis in your desert too.

The only way is to choose a franchise with minimal investment. Franchising is not something where you set the price -- the franchisor sets the price and the fees involved. Your only option is to select one that requires lower investment. \n\nNote, however, that you cannot really start a franchise with only $500. It is not something you can start on a shoestring budget. If you decide to go the franchising route, you need to have some money upfront\n\nIf you are thinking of opening a Subway franchise, for example, you need to have anywhere from $70K-220K as the franchise fee alone is about $12.5 -- that is not my definition of minimal  http://www.entrepreneur.com/franzone/details/1,5885,12-12---282839-1,00.html?section=costs\n\nYou may want to consider some of the lower cost franchise. Entrepreneur Magazine has a list of low cost franchises as follows:\nhttp://www.entrepreneur.com/franzone/listings/lowinvest/0,5839,,00.html\n\nCurves = total investment: $38.4K-53.5K; Franchise fee: $31.9K-39.9K\nJackson Hewitt Tax Service - Total investment: $49.8K-94K)\nJani-King = Total investment: $11.3K-34.1K+\nRE/MAX Int'l. Inc. = Total investment: $20K-200K\nLiberty Tax Service = Total investment: $42.3K-52.4K

Let me ask you a question. If I could show you something that made absolute total sense, where you didn't have to stock, sell or deliver products to your friends, there was a fully refundable membership fee that you couldn't loose; yet; you could add an additional $20-30,000 to your income this year with many people reaching a six to seven figure income, if it wasn't Amway or any multi-level scheme... would you spend 30-40 minutes with me and have a look? Contact me through my 360 page and I will show you

Try a franchise. The will offer you a turn key business opportunity complete with what you are looking for. There are many levels of franchise costs, form the few thousands to the millions (like McDonald's). Look for a market that you are interested. It's better to work at something that you find fun.
