Business


Taxes were about 60% of my stress the past couple weeks. At least I did not have to pay anything out for last year, after all my financial loses. This year is already off to a better start, I just need to stay away from shady clientele.

Anyway,
Now it is time to get rid of the other 40% of my stress. It is time to take on the City of Santa Ana and their business zoning issues… More on that mess later.

Have a great day!

Well, this post is a few days late but it is still a needed follow up. Attending the business mixer with Coupon Saver CD was a great experience, but very tiring, especially since I came to it sleepwalking. Such a busy week I had! Here is a picture of our banner; I think the printing company did a great job on putting this together:

Coupon Saver CD Trade Show Banner

Anyway, we set up our booth and I got my card-scanning machine ready for any potential advertisers for the CD. There were many advertisers physically participating in the trade show, but really most of them were business to business, so advertising on a business to consumer CD would not be a prime marketing method in my book. As the show opened and carried on throughout the night, we met a great few companies whom would be a fit for our CD. This event may have helped get Coupon Saver CD’s name out a little more widespread.

That is the biggest point of trade shows, is it not?

Oh and one last thing, I wish I would have remembered to take my Nikon D70 with me for the event, it beats the hell out of my Palm Treo’s built in camera. Next time I will remember to bring it.

Tomorrow I will be at Orange County’s Largest Mixer with the owners of Coupon Saver CD, to help represent their product. There is supposed to be over 3,000 businesses attending this mixer as well as 350 exhibitors, so it will be a great opportunity to get Coupon Saver CD’s more wide-spread. I am excited to be a part of this project, and I hope that we come away from this mixer with more leads than we know what to do with. Figuratively speaking of course!

I will post an update after the mixer to let everyone know how it went, and hopefully I can get some pictures.

I thought it would be interesting to share with everyone the amount of domains I currently hold, as well as the amount I manage for clients. I personally have right around 50 domains that are in my portfolio at the time of writing this. Even though I currently hold those domains, I am probably only utilizing 20% of them due to time constraints. So my plans are to only hold on to the meaningful ones and let the rest disappear into the shadows. On top of that I manage anywhere from 70 to 100 domains for my various clients.

Some may say my numbers are large, others may say “Wow, you only have 50 domains?” But for me, with the amount of time I spend developing others website, and getting a guaranteed paycheck, I will take a small amount of utilized domains over hundreds of underdeveloped, improperly utilized domains / websites.

Now my question for you, the reader, is how many domains are in your portfolio?

As you should know, I am a business owner -well really, I own more than one business, but that is unimportant. If you own a business or work closely with the owner of the business you work for, you understand there is a lot of work that goes into keeping the doors open. Simple items that can streamline tasks and organize your business are a necessity to keep productive in your business environment.

A product that is worth, to me, one-hundred times it weight in gold is DYMO’s LabelWriter 400 Turbo. This product is an all-in-one utility that allows the printing of labels for mailings, which businesses normally do on a daily basis. The LabelWriter 400 Turbo also has the ability to weigh and print online stamps for your mailings. DYMO has a great piece of software, cleverly titled DYMO Label Software, to compliment their product, it helps you to design and print your labels. You also get DYMO Stamps, which interfaces with the USB scale and gives you the proper postage for your stamp, and you can manage your postage account online to add funds. That means no more trips to the post office!

DYMO also carries many other printing products for labeling such as desktop label makers and hand held label makers for items such as folders, drawers, even electrical panels. The quality of DYMO’s products is unsurpassed in every aspect. If you are looking to streamline portions of your business, starting with the basics, give DYMO a look, you will surely be satisfied.
