12.01.08Business Plan DetectiveI just received an email asking my advice and I thought I would share it. Question: I'm putting a business plan together for a website and need to find out how big the current dollar figure spent in US on related services? How much is spent on advertising on those channels and shows? Any direction you can provide would be great. Answer: Start reading press releases of your competitors and see what numbers they are using and start Googling to find the source. This will start the data flow trail in the right direction.

10.29.08Don’t use VistaPrint - everVistaPrint signed me up for "PASSPORTTOFUN+800-566-8489" without my permission. I will never use VistaPrint again and I am forwarding this blog post (which only took me 5 minutes to write) to their CEO Robert Keane. I supposedly got a post card that said I was awarded a free trial and that I had to cancel or I will be billed each month. I've recommended this dishonest company to so many people in the past. And if a lawyer is reading this, count me in on a class action law suit. What the hell where they thinking. Google vista print scam.
