Marketing Tips
Talk to your local city or county clerk about the requirements for a business license.
The town I moved from wouldn’t sell someone a business license without a physical location, like an office or a storefront. If you’re doing this from your home, you might not need a license at all, but check with the city/county clerk to be sure.

and do not ask any municipal employee; cause they **** internet based businesses
for that reason.
some states now try to demand collection of sales taxes and they are
heavily handing some sites like ebay and amazon to collect taxes. IT is not legal but
they do it anyway.
