I've been thinking for some time now about starting a small business in order to produce and sell a number of products and services related to language learning. While I'm quite familiar with the subject matter, I know next to nothing about business and marketing, so I'd really like to find good books or online resources related to running a business in general, especially:
I also realise that some books or software could be handled by a publisher, so any information on getting things published would be great, too.
- How to identify and investigate the market: who's buying what, what's in demand, evaluating my competitors
- How to tailor my products for the market
- Actually carrying out the design & creation of a complete product
- How to properly plan, organize, & budget for my business endeavours
- How to market my product effectively
- How to find useful contacts / networking
- Taxes
- Intellectual property rights
- Other legal stuff like contracts, EULAs, etc. (can I just buy a book with templates for different types of contracts, or do I need to consult a lawyer every time?)
- Who to contact for consulting on these things
- How to get a business loan
I also realise that some books or software could be handled by a publisher, so any information on getting things published would be great, too.
