Do Website Businesses Require A Fictitious Name Statement? And Where Do You File One, State, County or Federally?
The County Of Santa Clara requires that business owners register a fictitious name for the Office of the County-Clerk. Any business that you start has to have a fictitious business name, which expires five years from the date it was filed in the office of the county clerk, and it also expires 40 days after any change in the facts of a business that has been established. You have go verify the status of the code you are researching, with the state legislature or using Thomas Reuters Westlaw. A fictitious business name statement has to be filed in order to do business at all. You do a search to see if your fictitious name has been chosen yet. You have to file your name before you make any other changes, or it expires in forty days. https://scccroselfservice.org/web/
You need to start a business name with a name separate from your own. The fictitious business name connects the owner to the business and is an actual law besides. The filing fee ranges from $10 to $100 according to this article on The Balance.com. https://www.thebalancecareers.com/how-to-file-a-fictitious-business-name-statement-3514833. The name has to be published in a newspaper for several weeks.
Business have to register with the Secretary of State in your State, as a corporation which becomes a separate filing process, while furnishing other proof you have filed a fictitious name statement. Each business name has to have a fictitious name statement filed for it if you are going to do business using it. This is called a DBA or Doing Business As statement. Since I live in California, I’m going over California business rules in this piece. The fictitious name however does not create a business entity on its own. The California Secretary of State website goes into detail.
While looking at the problem step-by-step, the California Secretary of State https://www.sos.ca.gov/business-programs/business-entities/starting-business/, requires that you start with a business plan or a blueprint of how your business is going to provide the product or service it will create. Some businesses require a brick-and-mortar location if you are going to need an office or a store. You choose a business structure, and you also have to look for legal as well as tax advice. You need a tax/employer identification documents so that you can do payroll if you have employees. Businesses require permits that you have to look for, if that is a requirement you need to have to start your business.
In addition to permits, a business has to have fictitious names that are unique in nature so as not to be confused with another business having a similar name. Names can always be changed. A bank can open an account for a fictitious business name only if the name is filed. I have an Etsy store account that I’ve never used for my T-shirt business idea, and one problem I have with my businesses is that I have too many ideas to work on, that I’m trying to work on all at once with.
California State Law under the California Business and Professions Code Sections 17900-17930 will require a registration with the Clerk of the County where your business conducts main operations. There are no limits to the amount of business names you can register. I have discovered that business recording fees are $10, which with my meager income I can pay. I live in Santa Clara County, in San Jose, where there is easy access to pertinent offices that I need to use to file any business I’m going to have under.
For my county, one fictitious business name statement is $40. A statement of abandonment when you give up is $30.00, and a Statement of Withdrawal from a partnership is $37.00.
There is a lot of paperwork that goes into starting a business and filing the fees you have to register with properly. Getting a business license is the first step you really need to take though. A business license is also a business tax of sorts. One City of San Jose Business license costs $150, this was information I have been looking for, for a while. http://www.establishmybusiness.com/business-basics/san-jose-business-license/
If you have financial hardship though, the price can be lowered to $35 as a processing fee. You can only get this discount if your business is a sole proprietorship, which my writing company is, have no employees, which I don’t have, and income should be at the poverty level when the tax is due. You can get a business discount and then what you have to do is to go get your fictitious business name statement with the County, if you want to open a bank account so you can start doing business. You can start and sell a business website for profit if you want to, and this is one of my goals with some of my ideas, so I’m citing Income Diary https://www.incomediary.com/sell-a-website since you have to be prepared to sell your domain name as well as your mailing list. You have to attract the right buyers, and investors, and then you have to negotiate the deal itself. Your website itself has to make enough money to interest the buyer, because if not it is pointless to sell it. I was totally ignorant on how to sell a website until I found Income Diary.
Businesses come away with manuals, processes, and procedures because of a copyright held on materials made over the years such as images, advertisements or even website content. You have a list of subscribers you are eventually going to sell in addition to the content itself. Social media engagement is something that is not defined as having followers but with actual engagement instead. You can even sell custom software, and data on customers. Adwords PPC campaigns are valuable to be sold also. My goal is to start and sell my business ideas to someone who can make more use of it than someone new to the field like I am. This is why I’m trying to find a business partner who can help me with financial stuff, and the actual running/programming of the site itself. I have learned from Income Diary that it is possible to create a good website sale for yourself within the requirements of what the buyer actually wants to buy your website for. I have multiple website ideas that I need to sell. In fact, Income Diary has taught me that my images in my head of what price to sell my websites for is actually somewhat accurate if they quote $600,000 as a price for a website that could actually work with some of my ideas.
My website ideas may be worth more money than I imagined. I didn’t know. I mean I had some idea, but really, my business knowledge is limited to library books right now because I do not have money to take a community college business class. I can’t even take a SCORE business class, as my income is just non-existent. I have various plans to make money in my head but I’m currently low income on government-subsidized health care.
It is money I paid into the system myself through working for a year. I have a blog at iriavp.com where I’m trying to make money off of that. At the very least, I’m looking to make $100,000 a month. Yes, a dream right? I suppose I could have multiple monetized blogs, one for my stage name/pen name that I keep separate from my real name. My ideas to sell my website ideas weren’t too far off according to the Income Diary pages I have been reading today. I have found a reference on ProBlogger about selling websites. Your website has to have a set price in order to sell it because you have to decide how much to value the site at.
My websites are not built yet-they only exist in a business plan. The business plans sit on my USB drive. As I’m a writer, I know that copywriting on a website is important and can make a difference in the amount of income you generate for your website. My blog has been monetized since 2017 give or take. To have a successful website, you have to generate income. https://www.incomediary.com/sell-a-website. If blogging can also generate income, that’s what I’m trying to do with my blog at iriavp.com.
I’m doing heavy research on blog guest posting. I want to write blogs for companies that need blog writers. It is the Textbroker.com slow down time period of the year. There is less to limited to no work on the website. It means I have to scramble and look for other income making options. I’m to the point where I’m done being low income and need to generate substantial income for myself as I have some idea how to do so. But anyway, yes, you have to do register any business you start with the County, and I will eventually have enough money to do so for every business idea I have, some of which are on my infamous list.
The first academic sin I used to put myself through was procrastination, I’m deeply terrified I’m going to fall back into that trap should I take Foothill College online classes. One class a quarter is a very wise limit since I have a long history of overloading myself, imagining in my arrogance that I can handle it. My old transcript was merely an exercise in overload, but it was expected by family to do so. Yeah, the number of times I failed Math 105 because of stress, many. We then progress to academic sin number two, which is to not know the assignment.
As I was an unstable hot mess back in my twenties, not allowed to seek psychiatric care let alone proper medication, I had to fake being stable on a steady diet of caffeine, alcohol, and sugar, which was my crack cocaine. I managed to take Math 105 repeatedly until I passed it with a C average. Yes, it took me that long to pass algebra. Algebra seems really easy now that I’m stable, but back then it wasn’t easy. I didn’t know the assignment very well at all at times, and I bombed many an English essay because of this.
The third sin of academia did not know the teacher’s requirements. I’d conveniently check out when the teacher was babbling about their needs for an assignment. When I was stable, which was rare, I was able to hear it without checking out mentally. Now that I’m consistently stable, I’m going to be able to hack it but with a hiatal hernia and an umbilical hernia, I’m pretty much going to say in person classes may have to wait Now that everything is online, it gives us online students quite the advantage. I’d not wait for the other shoe to drop when the teacher revealed their A+ requirements. I’d space or not be all there in the head.
My fourth academic sin was my laziness or unwillingness to do the hard work. It is why I could have gotten much better grades had I been stable. I regret not being the stable one during my Foothill College career because my instability haunted me, following me to State. Mental health problems do not fade because of going to school somewhere else. My steady diet of caffeine wasn’t helping me at all on top of that. Too much caffeine can actually cause you brain damage, as if I didn’t have enough of it from being born schizoaffective and OCD and my parents having a denial complex about their own.
My fifth major academic sin was drinking alcohol, eating sugar, and being on a caffeine bender all the damn time. Coffee made me act like a Cokehead. I was used to doing coffee to keep myself from passing out from exhaustion. Exhaustion by the way could make it easy for me to pass out considering when I’m tired I feel weak and dizzy. Today I have to go throw out the garbage, while tired, and go to the mailbox while tired. I got only 9 hours sleep tonight because I woke up at midnight, couldn’t go back to sleep until like 5 a.m. and I think it was because I took my buspar too close together.
All that causes my sleep deprivation is schizoaffective, caused by 22q11. Not getting enough sleep by staying up all night studying driven by a sense of inadequacy is my sixth academic sin. There is no value for a schizoaffective staying up all night. Why? Because we schizoaffectives need to sleep. To be remotely functional, schizoaffectives need to sleep at least 10 hours. Otherwise I feel physically weak, and dizzy while not getting enough sleep. My hiatal hernia diet routine involves not drinking caffeine since I can’t have chocolate anyway. This leaves sugar as my wake-juice. Fruit sugar seems to work as such. But as I’m 130 pounds right now, I need to limit my sugar intake.
My last academic sin is “getting a lower grade” because a boy demands it. As in, boy acts interested in me, boy manipulates me into accepting his attention, I get a lower grade to please stupid boy. This sin ties into my anti-dating book. I’m writing this book in order to debrainwash myself since I let go of a lot of my unconventional way of doing things while in my last brainwashing relationship. I spent years being brainwashed by both my family and my ex boyfriend. At this point, I’m gong to say screw purty boys in class. I’m going to tell off all men who pretend interest. I’m your hot classmate, quit trying to seduce me.
You will be the one with the lower grade. In this one creative writing class, one boy got a B and I got the A and he got so pissed off at me. Lol. I intimidated the crap out of him with that. I’m not going to be kicked around by good looking men who try to get better grades than yours truly. No, if I want straight freakin As, I’m going to have to work for it like anybody else. It is my searing passion for school that does me in with stress. I cannot attack school and my way of being at the same time. I’m simply not gender-normative, you men folk will have to deal with it.
The classroom is a competitive environment. My answer to getting asked out on dates should be hell to the no. I’m going to have to tell that boy off from trying to get into my pants that way. Today is not your day sucka, you will not sway me that easily. I refuse to lower my standards since I have to compete with your ass. Masculine attention is not worth it. My self-worth is not riding on the fact that some boy thinks I’m hot. I cannot tackle online classes with the same expectation, although not seeing people’s face is a decisive advantage the online environment springs forth to you. A new day of going back to school on scholarship is dawning for me. I refuse to be kicked around by exhaustion, this means my two hernias need treatment before I can step up and become a real-world classroom student again.
I have made a commitment to hold fast to my feminist values. No boy is worth getting a lesser grade for. They are all to be kicked around by my ” I got a better grade than you,” and I can help you but we do not have a relationship like that buddy. Quit flirting with me man children. I will keep my distance from men in the classroom in all situations. They can suck my dick.
I’m confused as to how Google Adsense works, and I’m trying to sort it out using Google itself, while also writing this article. Google says you paste ad code on the site in order to attract people, with the highest paid ads appearing on your site. Then you get paid? You get paid from Google billing all the advertisements and networks for ads on your site, while you receive your payments. I understand that Adsense is free, since you display the advertisements next to your online content. Adsense can be used in conjunction with Blogger, where I do have a blog that focuses exclusively on pagan things and that I keep separate from my WordPress blog.
Google pays you for the advertising based on user clicks, but the payment depends on the type of ad. I’m still confused as to how Google Adsense works but this article has somewhat helped. Adsense is an automatic process that targets Google advertisements directed at your content or audience where you learn how Google targets advertisements on the site itself. Adsense may or may not work with WordPress, I’m confused about this one too although another article says that 10 million websites use Adsense.
Adsense has different ad formats such as text, images, HTML ads, video ads and more. Advertisements can also be run in different sizes. Google Adsense is all about cost-per-click and revenue sharing. Niches in the United States are insurance, online education, and marketing and advertising. A blog needs to cover various different types of topics. Blogs only succeed because of how much traffic a blog can generate. Make sure you are writing as a participant of a niche you are an expert on since that determines how much money you make.
If I was using my Blogger blog daily, I could make money off of it, but I pay attention to and have monetized my WordPress blog, which has not made significant income yet. I’m just working on getting 10 views a day or more right now. Google has to be made aware that your website has fresh content on it daily. This is because people expect to read new posts about the subject you are writing about. For example, if you are a therapist, writing about mental health, your readers expect to read pieces about mental health topics.
I have to start using Blogger more to make more money if it is even possible to make money off of Blogger. This article https://blogger.googleblog.com/2010/06/make-money-with-your-blog-and-google.html; suggest to go to the Monetize and Set up Adsense tab. I don’t know if there is a fee. There are instructions to sign up for Adsense. A blog can be set up free at times, although WordPress charges for Monetization since I did wind up paying for my blog. I eventually have to march down to Social Security to talk to them about my PASS plan, and my get off low-income health care ideas.
I want to make $100,000 a month. For that, I’ve estimated needing 10,000 readers a month? I’m not sure about this number. But that is the impression I get when I look at my readership statistics. So I guess if I keep plugging away at it, I will eventually make significant income. The next step would be to log into Blogger. I suppose I should upkeep Blogger more if I expect to turn it into an income stream. And I logged into Adsense just now to see if this article helped me figure it out. It did. Sunday should be my update Blogger day since my blog is about religious topics.
I left one post on Blogger for my work this year with the website. My WordPress blog could offer services, the psychic services I want to offer, as well as virtual assisting. Pay Per Click is a type of Internet marketing, where advertisers pay a fee each time one of their ads gets a click. The ad sends a visitor to a website. Paying a $3 ad can lead to a $300 sale, which is an encouraging form of profit. Pay per click works as a type of auction. Pay per click comes in several different forms, such as a search engine that requires you pay a fee. The advertising is part of a useful pay-per-click technique, https://www.wordstream.com/ppc. Google determines what to pay with PPC. The flow of the situation begins with the price you’ve been given, and the ad rank of the person below you, with your quality score, linked to 1 cent. To create a way to search for words, the PPC user must work on keyword lists that they also have to create tight keyword groups surrounding those lists.
A landing page is then judged by the quality it has been customized, but not limited to the relevance of keywords, their ultimate goal is reflected as a clear call-to-action. Quality scores are what Google does to rank your page’s advertising design. The page is tailored to specific search queries that will be made by the searcher, a search query that is linked to the keyword. Pay per click is something that can make money if the web traffic stays linked to your business’s topic. Making money online is an easy, because the Internet is a total advantage in this day and age.
Pay per click simply involves clicking on an advertisement on one site that will lead you to the next site. You have to pay something to earn the right to propagate a click but that single click can lead to a $1,000 sale. If your ad is useful, Google lets you pay less for the clicks you will get. If you want to start using PPC, you simply have to learn how to do it properly. Google Ads operate on a pay-per-click model, where users need to bid, and then create ads that appear in the Google search engine with Google properties. Pay-per-click, the model pays for each click on their advertisements.
Your Pay-Per-Click advertisements have to have a quality score. The core is a metric that determines if your ad is relevant or not, all without having to study advertising, in intense detail. The higher a quality score, the better the advertisement. Google determines what you pay, because the advertisers bid on the ad. Depending on the ad rank, actual CPC becomes income cash flow. Ad words by Google has a way of being triggered by a “placement” on Google Adsense pages, because a publisher has to make ad space ready for the Ad Words advertisers. PPC keywords can get expensive, and do require a review that is necessary to shut off if they really become useless. PPC keywords must be adapted to the landing page. I hope this article means I’ve figured out how to use PPC.
PPC comes in different advertising formats. Google Ad words are thus an Ad network. The Paid search is an advertising model, which pays the platform host. Advertising online can come in many formats. Google Ads operates under the assumption that people are going to work on real-time bidding, because advertising inventory is sold into private automated action that relies on data generated in the immediate present. Advertising is ranked while Google considers the bid amount. The context of the search is laid out with the user’s device keeping in mind the time of day it is when that device is being used. PPC is something very easy to learn, and works depending on the format you are working on. A quality score is a way to rank performance, as well as relevance of the keyword to the ad.
In order to make PPC work for you, you have to research proper keywords just to make sure the hits arise, as they need to. One click could cost $3 with the click resulting in a $300 sale. This works on the principle behind Google ads that operate on a pay-per-click model, which means each click yields a profit. PPC is relevant to your business and what you are trying to sell. You have a niche you need to sell your product in. This means having keywords that are relevant. Pay per click changes while expanding its campaign reach, as this is the only way to make sure your keywords are adapting to the flexibility of the campaign.
I set up my Blogger blog with an Adsense account. I have a goal to update this blog once a week to see if that helps me make money. I realize I have limited financial opportunities right now despite working on my business plans, and looking for jobs. I know I have to be patient about making significant income some day. It will happen when I least expect it, or force it to happen. I have to take it slow, and not be in a rush to make money here. I’m a decent writer who can finish her work on time.

Plastic can mean anything from credit card use to a fake personality. Right now, it is the biggest environmental hazard on this planet to date. Sometimes the more successful you are, the more credit cards a person has. A credit card is, not surprisingly, made of plastic. Credit cards are pretty much a waste of money at some point. Plastic is something that is a huge part of our lives, taking up space in landfill after landfill. It poisons our environment. I have jugs of purified drinking water in my house made of plastic although some of it is made of recycled plastic, seemingly a step forward in the right direction.
Plastic pollution is a huge problem on this planet right now. Forget about coronavirus for a minute. While plastic is the material in an IV, it is a material found in most commercial packaging. When you open a box of crackers you find a plastic bag housing the crackers. This bag is what you tear at to get to the food. We each have to be careful with how much we use our carbon footprint. Plastic is in everything. We have got to focus on recycling programs that make a difference in what is going on with how badly we are polluting this planet.
Our use of plastic is everywhere and many times it is not biodegradeable. There are chemicals that can biodegrade plastic, turning it back into oil. Indeed, this problem is not as dire as it may seem to continue getting. But it could get a lot worse, given the situation with not putting out biodegradeable plastic more. The ocean is filthy from all the plastic on this planet. This is why we need to work on better plastic materials.
What is being done about plastic getting into the ocean and being cleaned? Plenty, such as reducing your use of single use plastic products. There are organizations out there addressing plastic pollution. https://www.oceanicsociety.org/blog/1720/7-ways-to-reduce-ocean-plastic-pollution-today. We do not have good waste management on this planet, and that is something, which has to change now. Plastic pollution has its effect on ocean life, affecting sea turtles, whales, seabirds, fish, coral reefs and other types of animals. This is why the people of this planet want to start something about healing the planet’s oceans. For now only 9% of plastic is recycable worldwide.
Another step is to organize a beach clean up day. Don’t use single-use plastic bags to get groceries. Avoiding products containing microbeads, or devices found in face scrubs, toothbrushes, and bodywashes, with microbeads labeled “polythelene” on the materials used in whatever product you are using. Support organizations that combat plastic pollution. Cleaning up after ourselves has to become a routine on this planet. We don’t do enough of that. Creating a chemical that can biodegrade plastic in a landfill is a next step.
We need to use existing plastic for fuel. How is this? By breaking it down into an oil form that can power cars. We really don’t need to use fossil fuels anymore but this is something happening anyway. There are more options now for cars that use a different type of fuel, be it electric, or diesel oil. If public transit were better in different regions of our planet, more people would use it. Public transit is great in big cities but bad in rural communities where you need a car.
This inequality needs to be fixed. People get stranded by the bus all the time. There are many ways to fix global warming and climate change. By far you fix it first by making your mind understand that global warming is real. This cold winter the Midwest is having is directly affected by climate change. California is only having a normal winter now, and has for the last three years if only because somehow our drought is over.
Plastic pollution is a drastic problem, we have to find ways of disposing our plastic without contributing to global warming by burning it. Getting into the habit of using reusable plastics is a first step towards mitigating plastic pollution. https://www.nrdc.org/stories/10-ways-reduce-plastic-pollution. Plastic water bottles are a huge problem. The resolution is to not buy them, to use reusable materials in your drinking utensils. There are many ways to fix this planet. To fix the rising sea levels, all we need are fleets of ships designed to collect water. The water collection can then be desalinated and shipped to desert regions or to California where there is a drought so we have enough water for our crops.
We face water shortages in the 21st. We have to deal with pollution. There may be a way to rid us of everything, but only if we put our minds to it and make an effort at it as a planet. We need to be rid of fossil fuels also at some point. Haven’t we all had enough of global warming causing very cold winters and very hot summers? We cannot afford to put this stuff on ignore. We need to start doing something about impactful climate change scenarios. We will be awash in situations for the next decade. People are not making progress ignoring plastic pollution that comes from buying water bottles that leave an impact. Having to throw out many home goods because they are wrapped in plastic is not helpful either.
Less plastic is more plastic. Plastic as mentioned above, takes forever to biodegrade. Chemicals that cause it to break down would take care of the problem, particularly if they can be able to fade into the environment. I don’t know enough about the problem in this present moment. All problems on this planet can be worked on if people took the time to think things through and work on them. Anything can be fixed rightfully so, if we are able to sit there to think about it. Some people don’t think much can be fixed. But the thing is we can, just like the guy who cured Ebola because he spent his life working on one problem. We have got to start dealing with our environmental problems. It does us no good to avoid it. Not when this winter has been so cold for certain parts of the Northern Hemisphere.
We have got to start solving our plastic pollution situation. The oceans are polluted, COVID-19 has brought many global climate change crisis to life that we need solutions for. Some people could make it their full time job to find them, namely billionaires. We need think tanks devoted to solving the climate crises since there are multiple ones brewing. There have to be jobs created to help staff efforts like water mining in the Antarctic region and then desalinating the water. This would solve California’s water crisis indefinitely. Not every article out there is focused on solutions. No, many articles written are written in an alarmist way. Some of that content can be downright depressing to read. We need to focus on the positive scientific breakthroughs that are being made not the negative news cycles coming up, causing the reader to feel angst like nothing is being done.
I’m done with my business plans for 2016-2020. My entire business plan list is finished save the final three group ideas that I want to put together. I’m working on the vegetable garden/farm business plan idea. I’m trying to grow a vegetable garden in a small space. Hanging gardens have existed on this planet for thousands if not millions of years. I’m going to figure out how to grow a full service vegetable garden on my property including root vegetables. I want to grow herbs and sell them at my kiosk in dried form.
I’m thrilled I’m done with the entire list. The next step is to ask for funds, we need to connect to those partners who have money, so I can stay covered a while longer. The time will come for me to make real money. I will eventually make real money and succeed at making real money. I need angel investors/equal partners. I want to stay covered/low income a bit longer but after that I will have to start raising funds. This means learning some grantwriting. This means locating equal business partners, and filing for incorporation. I have some idea about how this is done. I need to get my plans off the ground. The time is now.
My goals for this month are simple:
- Make extra income copywriting/one article a day
- Set Udeify up without making a goddamn typo and having to delete my account. Work out tutoring goals there.
- Begin citations for Chapter 6, psychic attack book written under a pen name that must remain separate from this account.
- Send How to Give Bullies What they deserve to writer’s digest, first 50 pages
- The Anti-Dating book, finish chapter 7… and do verbal ranting to get choice lines from on Quiktime.
I’m wondering how to navigate my chronic pancreatitis. I have chronic illness, make no mistake about that. I’m stressed at being low income on top of that. I should however, consider myself lucky I’m not on narcotics for chronic pancreatitis. I wouldn’t be able to get anything done if I were. But as it is, I’m using every pain control method I know how to use. I’m learning new ones. This is yet another pen name book to write. I have many books swirling around in my poor head. The Anti-dating book will come out eventually as will all my other writing. I need to have patience I will build that literary empire I’ve always wanted to have.
Using a banner is a form of Internet advertising. Banners are a way to advertise a business in a digital fashion. Each banner has images and text rather than just images. Banner design plays a role in how banners as advertising are perceived. My business for psychics to get paid a salary will function as a series of banners that are linked to a profile. I need to find a programmer I can pay since my skills are a bit rusty. Banners do also function well on specific color schemes. A banner has to be clicked on in order to prove it is working instead of annoying a customer.
There are multiple ways of using banner advertising for your content marketing since the banner is dissected as being an advertisement displayed onto a web page. Web advertising links to the website of the individual or company doing the advertising. A banner consists of a visual image that attracts people to your website. What my business idea that currently has no name, although it is merely a concept, is doing is to provide psychics with a salary so they can afford to lower their prices. No bookshop thinks of doing that since psychics count as self-employed people.
In order to legitimize the field, I’d like to make sure that a psychic can get a regular paycheck but also they would have to interview with people who want to be hired to make sure they aren’t arrogant with pricing. The arrogant sort will demand a higher salary although my vision is to give everybody an equal salary of $1,000 a month that is justified. So on months or weeks they get no work, the salary will help them stay afloat with their income.
The banner is an advertising medium intent on attracting traffic to your webpage. It is like print media advertising only in the digital world. A banner would serve to increase customer traffic. Banner ads help sell a product. My banners would serve the purpose to attract clients to the psychic network. Clients need to be able to access a psychic’s services in an affordable manner. As an example, Airbnb succeeded when Google featured display ads that target to what people are searching for. Advertising is meant to catch the customer’s attention, and my idea for banners is one way to get business. The banner would generally link to a profile.
We get exposed to thousands if not tens of thousands of advertisements a day. It can be exhausting to cop with but you’d have to live under a rock to not see it. Commercials are a way of standing out and being creative. My business idea for using banners and a web page advertising psychic services that are affordable for the average person is to design a website that helps this community get business while maintaining a stable income. My idea is to approach metaphysical bookshops with this idea.
People need to be able to access the services of a psychic for less than what is charged now. Even people with their own businesses charge a lot for life coaching, health coaching and what have you. There could even be a phone application in this business as I have a separate idea for that. I have to present this idea to metaphysical bookshops. Psychics simply need a better salary. If they buy the idea, the idea has to be priced a certain way, and I need to see a lawyer and a business broker to figure out the pricing.
It is time to send out a notice to SCORE to get somebody’s advice. But first I need ink for the printer so I can print out my business plan. That plan also needs to be edited. It just popped into my claircognizant head that this idea is the easiest to pull off, because then the money will come in for the T-shirt business, which will be started after I sell half this business to a partner and the other half to a bookshop. At this point, I’m reading a book on how to sell a business from Nolo press.
I have an idea for a phone application that comes with the psychic website. This phone app would mean more ways of getting business. I feel a strong need to talk to a metaphysical bookshop in my area, only because I feel that they can help me. I want to set myself up as the HR person with a salary, for the website for psychics I want to start. I named the business Shadow of the Phoenix Rising. This could be a temporary name since I’m rather stumped on names at the moment. Normally that comes as easily as a title, but this business is different.
For this website, the idea remains to charge a membership and a monthly fee, but also paying the psychics a decent salary of $1,000 a month. We need people with money to pull this off. Will the bookshops in the Bay Area like my idea or not? I’m not sure. There are many questions that need to be answered so it is time for me to ask SCORE to send me someone I can talk to. I need to print my business plan so I can place it in front of that person who will give me business advice for free, as SCORE has really great access to business mentorship and is a subset of the U.S. Small Business Administration organization.
I’m going to start using SCORE’s webinars and courses on demand since I cannot afford classes just yet. The online library is useful, as is the real world library. But yes, the phone application is a project I should try to pitch to the metaphysical bookshops. I need to start making money to pay for various stress-reduction treatments, as well as to be able to start driving again. I need to feel secure financially in order for this to happen.
The Shadow of the Rising Phoenix.com is a website that should be accessible to anybody who needs services at a reduced rate. The profile and banner should have a location of where the psychic is so that the client can find them. Developing an easily accessible psychic service platform is our goal. I need to find business partners who are calm, rational, and able to function types of people. Yes, I need to start telling people my ideas. I want to do this. I am busy being paranoid somebody may steal my idea. I’m that much of a beginner here.
I’ve thought about writing this idea out in snail mail format as my true age that I do not look remembers the era of writing snail mail letters. It might yet work to present to potential business partner’s, both the phone application and website idea. My website service is unique because it fosters collaboration not competition. While other metaphysical groups may be the competition, some may yet be interested in my proposal. We need to come up with an on-boarding scenario and fee for these groups only because I have to figure out how much money I could make through business partners.
My direct competitors have a website attached to their bookshops. I’m not sure of their past strategies. I want to set myself up as the HR person for the company. I can imagine the competition as being existing bookshops although I feel this idea is unique because psychics charge way too much for services. They do this because they don’t have a salary backing them up, or helping a psychic by bailing them out. It is possible to sell this business idea. How do you price a business to sell half of it? I need to read that angel investor book I got.
I’m overwhelmed with reading my Nolo Press book on how to sell a business. Starting and selling a business in my home State of California may yet be easy. My business would not have stocks as an entity sale would only because it is a private company. If I sold this business to a bookshop, I’d be selling their assets and liabilities also. I need to find a good document preparer to even begin doing the sales presentation.
In California you have to sell a business with a promissory note, security agreement, confidentiality agreement, non-compete agreements, company resolutions or stock transfer certificate. A business has to have a bank account but selling it means you have to close your bank account. There you have an outlined strategy on how I’m going to go about selling my business. The system demands a PASS plan that will detail how I make money. I will eventually complete this project. I also need to get myself evaluated to prove I’m stable enough to manage my money properly, for more on that head to my blog, iriavp.com, and read in more detail.

I started a post 2021 list. I have written down almost all the 2016 list, and now I have to play catch up to my after 2020 list. I call it the 2021 business ideas list. I have many business plans I’m done with and need to put together at this point. I also have to find equal partners who are willing to politely question my judgment as needed. I need to raise money by now also. I need to raise enough money to support myself from angel investors who are willing to put a stake of their own in the company. I want to get funding for some of my ideas, not all of them, only the ones meant to succeed.
I don’t want to get a loan only because loans are going to mess up my credit if I can’t pay it back. This is why I need to show good judgment. I’m pretty much going to find partners in the present. I need to find them in order to move forward with some ideas. I’m trying to figure out how to move forward. I try to be a regular at the SCORE legal advice clinic.
If only I had enough money for SCORE paid online classes. I need some extra income here. I’m going to blow my stimulus check on a life coach job I applied at months ago. There is an entry fee but when I sign up I get a nice discount. I’ll make a good life coach because I’m not into the act of babying people. Its like, okay, well, I’m a busy bee who doesn’t waste my time anymore. I lost good years to stress or at the very least living my life a certain way that kept it low stress.
Now I’m trying to fake it until I make it. I’m dealing with less stress in the immediate present, since I have my work planned out, I’ve got ideas, and I’m working on stress management. I’m good at stress management give or take. A note to family who doesn’t read my blog: My business idea, my money, that’s just the way it is. I’m not inclined to give it to you freeloaders free. Sure my parents expect me to buy the condo out. Silly people, what made you think I’d do that right away?
Certain populations are still waiting around on the vaccine. I’m in a somewhat high-risk category. As a high-risk category, I’m paranoid, naturally, and I’m trying not to get too paranoid. Anyway, it will be nice to be able to pay for everything myself with my own money for once. I work diligently on applying for jobs with few people biting. I’m getting nowhere near enough interviews. I guess you could say I have the whole myth of “I have a disability and can’t work” on the brain. I’m trying to uncurse myself with this because I realize a lot of it is a mental blockage. With my creative blocks due to mr. hernia and now chronic pancreatitis, I’m wondering if I ever will be healthy enough to work full-time.
I’m better off selling my businesses maybe. Who knows? I want a conventional job though even if some refuse to hire me because I have an obvious disability. Yes, let’s talk about this employment issue that haunts my entire existence. I’m way too considerate to people who don’t hire me right away. I’m wondering at that life pattern that persists no matter how much positive thinking I do. I want a work from home job, this much is certain in the immediate present. I also just paid for this blog. I paid only because I want to pay in the immediate present. I succeeded at sending my payment in. I’m trying to keep my head above water, which is why I’m glad Textbroker decided to let Californians work for them again. A law made this difficult, California AB 5, freelancer rules about someone not being able to write more than 35 pieces a year.
It’s a relief to me this weird law was overturned or amended or fixed. I’m busy trying to make money with very little possible streams of income. I’m looking at other websites like Textbroker, such as Contena, but I need actual income for that. I applied at a book proposal contest only because this contest promises the winner $100,000 by May of this year. I applied to get the publishing contract. I put my book in there only because the outline has been done for months. It says I have 7 months to finish this book. The word count at the phrase 7 months read 777. This is an angel sign that I’m publishing the book.
An angel sign such as this is a powerful omen actually, because I’ve read some Doreen Virtue by now. She can’t disappear her old books even if she is Christian now. Anyway, I’m learning a lot about angel signs, since my seeing 1111, 222, 333, and 444 etc. around mean that I’m going to get my stimulus check in the mail soon. It happened with the last stimulus check. The pandemic has been hard on everybody, even those who have jobs. I’m used to being by myself and even that has been getting to me. These are strange days.
As it is, the vaccine coming out is great. I feel much better knowing it is out even with new strains of COVID circulating that are much more contagious than they initially thought. So the answer is to continue to come up with vaccines. Way back I’ve had a family friend who was a survivor of polio. Polio used to tear through communities until the vaccine wiped it out. I got a pneumonia vaccine in my 20s since I was getting it so often in the winter. Just this year I got a flu vaccine. I got myself a flu vaccine only because I was like, there is no way in hell I’m getting this virus because zombie movies all teach to stay the hell away from sick people. I’m eventually going to get a job and get off SSI; I just need to be patient with myself.
Since the year 2016 I’ve written 43 business plans. I was on a quest to get all my ideas down on paper. In 2016, I had that knee injury to worry about. It came out of nowhere, and I ascribe metaphysical sources to this injury since it was so random because I had nothing else going on during that time when it happened. I was about to start getting myself a real job at a real company barring the drama that my mother might have visited on me had I actually gotten a chance to work the way I had envisioned myself working during this time.
This is why I worked so hard on the business plans. Now it is time to secure partners, and angel investors rather than loans, because the only debt I have is credit card debt that I need to fix. My driver’s license is currently suspended because I haven’t driven in so long I’ve forgotten how. With a recent diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis coming from either birth control use, type 1 diabetes catching up with me, my alcoholism catching up with me I’d say I’m stuck with work from home jobs.
I read 64 library books last year, but I seem to have misplaced one library book in my house that I’ve been looking for like mad. I’ve written a post 2020 business idealist but I have one idea blurb left and one business plan left to write. Now it is time to have meetings with metaphysical bookstores to pitch my idea but not before setting up a non-disclosure agreement with them. I also have ideas for Meetups groups. A travel group can’t happen right now but I have to write this business plan down soon enough. My herbal remedies franchise idea comes from a friend of mien who casually mentioned she had an herb garden.
I even want to start a teaching group dedicated to pagans and other mentally ill magickal folk on medications to learn witchcraft and psychic arts. I’m going to use my writing to make money this year in more ways than one. I want to get started in freelancing because I’m free from corporate drama. My kiosk at the mall idea can provide two seamstresses I know with jobs. I want to sell the heat packs, bookmarks, and eventually psychokinesis sheet metal art. Yes, using my energy I’m going to melt metal in order to make paper crane origami art.
I want to sell lavender pillows made with herbs from my own herb farm grown in a small space utilizing space saving technologies. I’m not sure about making my own essential oils because I’m not sure how much space I have in my yard for this stuff. It is a big yard, I have no idea what measurements, but that has to be in my business plan. It is the final business plan for the business ideas list that I started in 2016. I have spent 5 years working on plans. Now I have to start working on Kickstarter campaigns and raising actual funds, as well as finding business partners. I need coherent, rational partners who make it a point to politely question my judgment. I know of at least two seamstresses and a third at the mall that can help me with my insulin pump ice pack this summer.
It is time to make my dreams come true even at the age of 40. I feel motivated because I’ve spent the last 5 years in low income planning mode, since my knee injury. Now that my knee is passably better and I’m walking better, I have the right to seek real funding.
I’m going to start getting the ball rolling with metaphysical bookshops I can present my idea to. It might even require this idea be made into a presentation to attract outside interest besides those who run the shops. Making money is one way to protect myself from my family because I can come up with ways of legally protecting myself, eventually changing my phone number. I have to make real money sometime, because I need to. I can’t stand staying low income anymore just to protect my family from their mental health problems.
Psychically, the second I make money my parent’s relationship falls apart. Or they both lose their minds. I have to make money though because I have got to get myself financially together. There are many ways out of the trap that I’ve worked out. My list of how to get myself self-employed, that is one way to make money. I’m going to try to make money for my own sake. I want to make money. I feel an urge to make money. I want a healthy income and to pay for my own insurance.
Staying low income no longer serves me. It demeans me. I have to make money sometime this year. I have to. I’m trying. The stimulus check is necessary for me. I don’t have much income right now, it’d be great to make real money. My business ideas are a revolving door. I have many of them, they pop in on a regular basis, at least one idea a day. I’m willing to pay for my medical care on my own. But glucagon is at least $100. That is very expensive. I still have no income though which is why I need my EBT benefits.
EBT is quite useful for us low-income sorts because we get to pay for groceries for free. I remind myself that I owe nobody an explanation about how I decide to take care of myself, how I decide to rest daily. I owe nobody an explanation. I can make decisions for myself and you know what? I do. I don’t have to overwork myself with no pay off. It is why I need to create a good support system for myself in Los Angeles. This is why I want to divide my time and live in mental health rehab facilities. I also want to pack up my books when it is time, when I have to move all my stuff to Los Angeles for safety’s sake.
As the first time I’m updating my blog in the New Year, I’m still in the hazy headspace that New Years puts me in even if I haven’t had drop of alcohol or sugar. I make the assumption I have forever to write my fiction. I have to force myself to write lately because the creative flow is not there. I’m stressed over my financial situation but I need to write those books if I’m ever going to right my money scene. My 2020 anxiety from the pandemic is paralyzing me. I’m freaking out daily, making my usual extraordinary effort to stay well. You only get the virus if you go near people, who otherwise are infected. The more infected people are right wing, but then the Chinese knew what would happen.
Yes, since I get a lot of blog readers in China. Anyway, I’m trying to write all my books at once, which is making me crazy stressed. I’m trying to plug away at my work. I get commission when the thing is published. That is something my mother does not understand about the writing business. You get paid when you deliver the finished product. You do not get a salary, you get commission even on articles for online outlets.
Money eventually does come with writing, if you can market your well-written book because you have to make actual sense. This is why I’m relieved I’m stable. I need to stay stable, I have to stay stable, I’m trying to stay stable. Mr. hernia is making me feel terrible. I see germs, I see dead people, I’m trying to stay away from sick people. I find my non-fiction is coming out easier because I tell myself I can make money with it. My fiction is about stuff I keep suppressed.
Science fiction is actually more like fact but I do not want to be specific as to how. Fiction is something that relies on pure imagination. My brain is stressed from the virus going around, from all the suffering going on. I keep trying to keep myself well. I have access to an herbal antiviral made of lemongrass, ginger, and cinnamon. So far, I’ve stayed well. I can’t have a cold prevention remedy of lemon juice, cinnamon and pepper because that can trigger my heartburn. I’m frustrated, because I have to make money but I’m stuck in a low-income lifestyle.
I finally convinced my doctor to let me make money. My books could very well make me a lot of money. I do not need to live pay check to pay check. I’m trying to keep myself from getting depressed. My fiction is out on Amazon, Opening New Dimensions, Iria Vasquez-Paez. You can look it up if you want to. No guarantees you will buy it but it is out there nonetheless. So I have a book out that I’m scared of people buying. How silly, it is ridiculous.
Anyway, I’m going to try to finish writing all my projects this year, as Opening New Dimensions is a science fiction novel I envision having 7 books in the series total. My second book, Journey to Atlantis is going to be 1,000 pages. I’m half-way through this book. I’m trying to think “what next?” A guide to developing plot is thinking: “what is next?” I’m trying to piece together the plot but I feel like I’m slogging through the work. I’m trying to not get depressed about my creative tendencies.
I’m using a computer that needs an updated operating system. I got the new phone, I have to set up my equipment for the continuous glucose monitor. But anyway, this stuff that is definitely distracting from working on my book. Journey to Atlantis is the title of my sequel because it will involve time travel. As if my life isn’t saturated in the paranormal, and to degree I enjoy the metaphysical stuff although my damn brain could use a break from the intensity I feel in it. This is my rapid cycling bipolar trying to stay in control. Otherwise, I’m very stressed lately, as I’m trying to burn the candles at both ends.
Yes, taking time off is a good thing. I need to chill on occasion anyhow, but I don’t read my own stress levels very well to see when I need a break. My phobias are sky high right now from the mess that the US government has become because of seditionist Republicans. I’m trying to ride my wave without getting too stressed out. The great part is that I’m making progress with all books. I’m trying to take time off from this blog. I’m trying to make money here in a variety of ways. I feel unsuccessful and staying low income is brutal.
At the same time, I do not want my mental landscape to turn into a hot mess. I really do not want to cause myself a nervous break down. These days I know how to get myself to appointments on time because I can think my way through the process of getting ready so much better. With my parents not around to drive me crazy before I’m leaving the house, I can get out of the house on a regular basis now. I like leaving whenever I feel like it, but see mr. hernia is causing me major symptoms right now, I’m tired, easily made tired, and I feel run down. Yes, I’m having trouble getting things done.
I’m having trouble focusing on anything, even ordinary TV. I have the energy for at least that, and I work in the mornings. I’m trying to keep my head from going far into my hat, I’m trying to make something of myself. The struggle is real. I have a doctors appointment today, to see if something can be done about this infernal hernia. I find this situation aggravating at best, because I want to focus on writing fiction. Sure, recovering from hernia surgery will be something. But hey, that is my real distraction right now, Mr. hernia. It is my #1 distraction. The pain. Oh yes, I now recognize it for what it is. I’m stressed because I’m low income. Lol. I’m trying to navigate my stress levels. Eventually I will win all the wars though, the hernia war, the sleep war, the money war, the diabetes war. I will win everything. I’m trying.
