Hello everyone my best friend and I just opened a screen printing business, how can I get more business. What companies can I go to for this kind of business. How can I generate different project everyday. We are new at this so any advice would help. I want to grow this business so if you did it small and got big I would love to hear your accomplishment and how you did it thank you!!

Hi, Showme_urmove!

What sort of things are you all set up to screen print, please?

Thanks!

We do everything from printing shirts, jackets, pants, shorts, tank tops and more.

Do you have a website and have you done any other advertising on the Internet, please?

We just started 2 months ago, but we are thinking about putting a website in a month. No we haven't done advertising on the internet. How much does that cost? Does it cost a lot? Do you think YMCA order shirts?

I don't know about YMCA. I do know, that it doesn't have to cost you anything for a website or to do advertising on the Internet and that you can be coming up in the first page on a Google search for what you do, where you do it though.

It's not hard to do that, but it will take you some time and effort that will be well worth it!

My partner and I just got a storage space enough room for all the equipments that's needed. Is there any way where you can show me to advertise on the internet, again I'm new at this so I don't know what website to go for advertising. That would be really helpful to get our name in front of the Google search. Thank you for giving your time for helping me!

Below, is the link to the first site that it would be essential for you to join. Please join it, but wait for me before posting an ad, if you would, please?

Welcome to Hoobly (http://www.hoobly.com/)

Thanks!

Thank you very much, I joined it already I'm going to wait for you before I post my ad.

Let's work on the wording of an ad. Okay?

First, where is your business located, please?

Thanks!

Also, if you click on the following links, most of what you'll find for a number of pages is about me and what I do.

Link One (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=Craig+Clough)

Link Two (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=Quad+Cities+Piano+Tuning+and+Repair&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=)

Link Three (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=Piano+Lessons%2C+Music+Teacher+Quad+Cities&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=)

Link Four (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=Furniture+Refinishing+Quad+Cities&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=)

Ohh woow that's a lot. Yea your in the whole page, that's good.

ohh woow thats alot. yea your in the whole page, thats good.

That's not all! You could be on the first page too, but we have to work on that.

Again, where are you located, please?

I'll be around here again in about ten hours, Showme_urmove. I need to leave now to get some work done. I hope to be meeting up with you later here!

Thanks!

I am located in California, k ill be here in 10 hours also to be meeting up with you. Thank you for your help I really appreciate it. Once we get this going we can print you a shirt for your business. We do business cards and brochures for low price, if you know anyone that wants it recommend us.

I'm here right now, Showme-urmove.

Thanks!

Hey clough sorry about that I fell asleep.. what time zone are you in, are you 3 hours ahead in pacific time. Let me know so I can know the time your on thanks

I'm in the Central Time Zone of the United States. So, that makes me two hours ahead of you.

Cool, just let me know the time you can make it online tomorrow so I can try to be on the same time as your in. So you can help me get the ad going online thank you clough

I'm here right now, Showme_urmove!

Needed to re-start the computer. Tomorrow night won't be good because I have to get to bed early in order to get up to play for church.

If you have time now, let's work on an ad, please?

Thanks!

Rats! I think that we've uncoordinated things again, Showme_urmove!

Sunday night is a period when I'll be on here much more. Tonight, I'll be on for awhile. I hope that you return tonight!

Yea tonight is good ill be here for awhile also lol.

Let's think of words to use in an ad then.

Please open up another browser or tab to hoobly.com

Please also let me know on this thread when you've done that.

Thanks!

I'm waiting for you here, Showme_urmove!

I'm am here clough so where do we begin

Okay, some words that I can think of would be:
Screen Printing California, Screen Printers California, T-Shirt Printing in California, Business Card Printers in California, Businesses Printers Printing Business Brochures in California...

Need more specific locations and words concerning what you produce, please?

Please give to me the names of towns and cities and as many words that you can think of concerning what you do.

Plurals, singulars, nd's, er's, ings, etc. All are important with the Internet advertising if you want to get noticed.

I'll show you how to format the ads once we've got the keywords down, at least a majority of them.

Thanks!

Sir what do you mean about "nd's, er's, ings,"

Different search engines will search for things in different ways. For Instance, Google doesn't like repeated words. Yahoo, on the other hand, loves repeated words.

Google also searches for things alphabetically. I'm not sure about that concerning the other search engines.

Therefore, it's important to have keywords like the following in your ads.

Printing, printers, printed, etc. as well as other words done in similar fashions.

Do you understand where I'm going with this, please?

We are in Monterey county, we do t shirts, sweat shirts, jackets, sweat pants, martial art uniform, hula shirts, sports, P.E uniforms, family reunion, church, clubs, fire fighters, police, fraternity and more.
San jose, monterey, salinas, santa cruz, san francisco, valajo, stockton, sacramento, fresno whole united states.

Yes I do. Oh and we also do business cards, brochures, calendars, night club flyers, and more.

What towns and cities are in Monterey County, please?

Towns in monterey county, salinas, prunedale, carmel. Monterey, pacific grove. Castroville, marina, seaside, chualar, sand city, gonzales,green field king city, pebble beach

Thank you for the listing of towns and cities.

Now, how about more words concerning what you can do for customers?

We are very competitive toward our competitor, if they can show proof of quot we can match or drop our price. 100% satisfaction guaranteed. Order 100 shirts we will pay for your delivery. If you order 50 items we will waive your set up fees. Order through us and we will do our best to save every penny in your pocket.

Something like that sir what do you think about it?

Okay, let's do an ad.

Do you have hoobly.com opened up?

Yea I just signed up!

Yea I have it opened up

What is the name of your business, please?

My partner and I liked what you put, it was
"absolute screen printing & more" or "ASP&MORE"

Please keep the Absolute thing and drop the acronym. Nobody is going to go looking for an acronym. People will be wanting to know what you do, where you do it.

Please give me a few minutes. I'll format an ad for you.

I'm fading fast here, though...

It's very late for me.

Another thing that I would like you to be very careful with, is your spelling and punctuation. Doing those correctly does make a differece when people look at advertising of any kind. Words capitalized that need to be so, commas and other punctuation marks used correctly, etc.

Thank you! Yea I will be very careful with that. I'm not much a english lover but I have a brother that is really good at all that so he can help me with all the spelling and punctuation. We can continue some other days I know its about 3:12 where you are living, and I thank you for spending you time helping me!

Words for the ad...

Title: (Don't need to add the word "title".) Screen Printing in California

T-Shirts, Business Cards, Brochures, Circulars, we can help you with all these and more!

Quality work, professionally done! Competitive prices! We'll beat any of the prices of our competitors!

Keywords: Screen Printing Monterey County California, Screen Printers in Salinas, California, T-Shirt Printing in California, T-Shirt Printers in Californis, Business Card Printers in California, Businesses Printing Brochures in California, Prunedale Ca, Business Cards, Carmel, CA T-Shirt Designs and Logos, Monterey California Business Cards, etc.

Get the idea?

You want to get people to find you in as many ways that they can!

Thanks!

Other ideas for your business name? You can always play around with that for advertising...

Now, there are other things that I would like to share with you. However, it's getting very late for me and I simply must get to bed.

Thanks!

Thank you very much, I do appreciate it, if you need any t shirts or brochures done for your business ill do it for free cause your taking your own time helping us. Thank you again you can show me later on how to put it on hoobly. Thank you and goodnight!

You could put the ad that I wrote on hoobly.com as is. You can also change it later.

There are other sites that are important to join...

Good night for now, though.

OK I will do that thank you again. Good night!

One thing that forgot to add, is that you need to be puttting your first and last name into an ad as well as you email address and phone number. Doing those things will add to your credibility.

Thanks!

I'm here for awhile now, Showme_urmove!

Hello sir sorry I couldn't get be online last night I was out of town but ill be here for awhile

I'm here now for awhile, Showme_urmove!

Hey clough welcome back!

Let's place an ad, okay? Do you have hoobly.com opened up?

Yea I got it opened up

I've already formatted an ad for you. Please post it. If we need to change or add anything, we can do that later.

Thanks!

OK no prob I will do that

ok no prob i will do that

Please let me know when you've posted it, okay?

For listing type do I put service?

I think yes. But, let me open up my hooby account first.

Thanks!

OK

Yes, Services woud be the area. If you click on the following link, you'll find my ads on hoobly.com

Link (http://www.hoobly.com/members/clough/)

Thanks!

Screen Printing Monterey County California, Screen Printers in Salinas, California, T-Shirt Printing in California, T-Shirt Printers in Californis, Business Card Printers in California, Businesses Printing Brochures in California, Prunedale Ca, Business Cards, Carmel, CA T-Shirt Designs and Logos, Monterey California Business Cards, etc.

Do I put that in the add also or where do I put it in.

You put all of the things that I listed in the ad.

Have you checked out my link for an inspirational video?

I'll help you as much as I can...

OK I had posted it already

ok i had posted it already

Everything that I posted in the sample ad including your contact information?

Yea u had put everything in

Has your ad been posted on hoobly.com please?

Yea I posted the add already does it show?

What we do now, is search for it on google.com That would be by looking for what you do, where you do it. You could use any combinatiion of words to look for your ad.

OK I'm going to do that now

Other essential sites on which to post would be the following:

MerchantCircle.com | Find new customers. (http://www.merchantcircle.com/)

Naymz: Over one million people use Naymz to build professional relationships. (http://www.naymz.com/)

LinkedIn | Relationships Matter (http://www.linkedin.com/)

But, you need to be careful with posting on those. Spelling and punctuation needs to be correct. They're very picky.

I need to leave now. It's very late for me.

Thanks!

Thank you again clough you have done more enough. Thanks again have a good sleep.

I'll be back later tonight, Showme_urmove, in case you're interested in working some more on this!

That would be great clough yea I would be on tonight thanks for everything!

I'm here now, Showme_urmove!

Just got back from work clough!

I'm here again now, Showme_urmove!

I'm sorry that I missed you earlier! Had to clean up things so the cleaning people can clean where I'm house and dog sitting!

Did you place the ad on hoobly.com?

Oops! Thought that I'd missed you! Just looked at your profile and it showed that you weren't online here anymore.

Next moves for the online thing are important...

You know, you're getting and developing quite a good reputation on this site! :)

Thanks clough, just doing my best to get my mind off my ex. If I'm not working my mind seems to think about her, so it makes me feel good to help other people that's going through the same as I am. It helps me not think of her.

When you get the good comments, that's a really good thing!

Well, I know all about having an ex...

Keep movin', keep doin', it's the best that we can do concerning that...

Yea I know, its still hard to accept that its gone, but hey it's a new pain, so I don't expect it to heal over night. Im just glad that I can focus on my future and business, and get my mind clear and I don't have to worry about a girlfriend.
Really it's a good thing when you get the good comments, How is that? Sorry I'm new to this site so I don't really know how it works!

Well, you've already got a bunch of what we call "greenies" here. The bad ones are the "reddies".

I don't think that you have to worry, though. You've already gotten "greenies" from some very reputable and respected members.

I would like for you to join the other sites that I listed. Please do that.

There are more sites, but those would be primary ones.

Reminder: Please be very mindful of your spelling and punctuation. Also, please be sure to include first and last names. If you do that, it will help to make you look more credible and reliable.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot clough, I will do that, what I'm going to do is rough draft an add and I'm going to send it to my brother so he can make sure everything is good.

Got to have all of the right keywords in there if you want to be noticed the most and beat the competition with advertising on the Internet.

If you put things into a Microsoft Word document and put it on as an attachment here, I'll also be glad to look things over for you.

Have you clicked on the links in my signature? They're a couple cool pieces! Might give you some inspiration...

I don't know erhe to click on the links in your signature where do I go? Sorry new at this

They're below everything that I post and should appear to be blue.

For instance, here's one and the other one.

YouTube - Edward and Bella - River flows in you (twilight) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TBDrp-Qjpc)

YouTube - I Can See Clearly Now (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtiXiYMS86U&feature=fvsr)

Yea I did clicked on it along few days back, I saved it to my favorites I like the music its very calming. Thank you again for letting me attach the ad and you checking it. Your such a good person God Bless you!

Well, bless your heart, Showme_urmove! I'm fading fast here! Need to get to bed.

If you attach your ad here, you can put anything into it, even contact information. I'll be glad to look it over and help you with it.

God's Love and Peace to You!!

Good night I know its really late, Thanks again I will do that as soon as I can. God bless you and your whole family!

We will do something later. It will be excellent!

Thank you for your blessings! :)

Are you online here now, Showme_urmove?

Yes sir just got in!

Hi!

Here's another site that gets excellent exposure when people do searches for where you are and what you do.

DomesticSale - The Effective Free Classifieds (http://www.domesticsale.com/)

Thank you a lot clough! Does it make a big different if I take a picture of the work we did and put it in the ad

Hello sir I got to go to bed I have to get up early to do some early work, but I would for sure get back tomorrow night to get your help again if you don't mine. God bless and good night, thank you for everything. Hope to see you here tomorrow night!

Yes, you should be taking pictures of your work. Posting them in the ad is an option. How you word the ad to attract people who search for what you do is the most important thing. People would need to be doing image searches to find what you've done. Most likely, they'll just be doing general searches on the web.

Do you have images already in your computer of things that you've done?

Okay. Later then...

I pray for a good and restful sleep for you and success with whatever it is that you do tomorrow!

God's Blessings and Peace to You!

Hello sir how are you doing?
Thank you for the blessings and I hope everything is good with your family!

I'm hanging in here! It's been raining outside quite a bit!

How are you?

Same here its been raining for a couple of days. I have been busy with some orders and just trying my best to get my ex girlfriend off my mind and missing her. But everything is good.

Have you formatted your ads yet?

I have been doing my best but I'm having a hard time formatting it. I am waiting for my brother on Sunday his coming over to help me brain storm. Im not good at doing any ads I do my best but I don't know where to start.

I've already done the wording that will get you noticed on the Internet. Are you having trouble putting that into a Microsoft Word or other type of document?

Is the following a link to your ad?

Screen Printing In California in Monterey, California (http://www.hoobly.com/0/0/1277890.html)

Yea it is! I was looking for that ad,

Well, you came up first on the list outside of the ones that are in the Yellow Pages! Plus, your ad is on the first page of the search in Google!

I think that you should be real happy about that! :)

You should be able to beat the Yellow Page ones too, but that will probably take a bit of time.

You also show up on the first page in the following search.

Screen Printers in Salinas, California - Google Search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=Screen+Printers+in+Salinas%2C+California&btnG=Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=)

I just clicked on it, but I can't find our ad

i just clicked on it, but i can't find our ad

It's down on the first page a bit.

The following is how I originally found your ad.

Screen Printing In California in Monterey, California - Google Search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=Screen+Printing+In+California+in+Monterey%2C+Cal ifornia+&btnG=Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=)

Huh! Some how I can't find it. But I'm going to keep finding that ad. I see a lot of montery ca but not our business name and number.

You won't find your given name and phone number on the Google search. That's something that needs to be developed for that you happen. You have to click on the link that you'll find in the search. On the last link that I provided here, you're first under the ones that are listed in the Yellow Pages or who have posted ads to Google maps.

Oohhh OK thank you. Clough question that I've been wanting to ask why does your thing says user offline?

It's called invisible mode. You have the same options.

I'm going to "uncloak" now!

See, now I'm "green"!

Are you still around here, Showme_urmove?

I'm online right now, if you might want to work on something, Showme_urmove!

Hey clough sorry had some personal issue to deal with. Hope your family and business going well!

Yea I would love to work with you on this! I would be online for a few hours.

I'm here now, Showme_urmove!

How are you doing? Clough

how are you doing? clough

I'm trying, and am here right now, Showme_urmove!

Kind of tough right now...

Yea I same here its kind of tough, but God puts obstacles in our life for a reason.

Well, unfortunately, I fell asleep before I noticed your post!

Sorry about that!

I'm sorry that I haven't been around! Have been ill and in the hospital for a number of days!

Its OK clough I've just been trying to keep myself busy and just ready other people post keep my mind together. HOPE EVERYTHING IS GOOD WITH YOU, AND I HOPE YOU YOU ARE DOING BETTER. Woow hospital huh that's huge I will pray for your health and recovery. GOD BLESS YOU CLOUGH!

Please do pray! I'm very depressed!

Business seems to have picked up a bit, though. But, I need to physically be able to do it.

Have you seen any increase in your business?

I will do that clough, I'm glad business is doing well, and you do need to get better so you can do your work.
Will we have 2 potential clients, we will know by next week if we get them but I'm 90% sure we will
One is the fire department, and the other is the boys and girls club. Im praying to God that we get thus accounts it will make our life a little better

If you don't mine me asking, what's the reason of your depression?

Please click on the following links.

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/addictions/addictions-how-do-you-have-you-dealt-them-466259.html

What's on the bottom thread should give you a pretty good idea.

Thanks!

I will do that clough, im glad business is doing well, and you do need to get better so you can do your work.
will we have 2 potential clients, we will know by next week if we get them but im 90% sure we will
one is the fire department, and the other is the boys and girls club. Im praying to God that we get thus accounts it will make our life alittle better

I will pray also! Please let me know if you get the accounts.

Thank you clough, my friend and I went all over northern cali to talk to all the boys and girls club so far its looking good. Hope things goes your way God bless

If it's looking good, it's looking good! I'm glad for you! :)

God's Love and Peace to You!

Hey clough I was wondering if you can help me put together a business proposal for the Boys and girls club, the director of the facility would want us to write down the idea on paper so he can show it to the others.
Let me know when you get a chance to have some free time!

I do have a little bit of time right now. But, not much. Remember that you're a couple of hours earlier than me in time.

I will be glad to help you, though!

What are the things that you would like to propose to them, please?

We would offer the boys and girls club,
* price lower then the vendor they are using,
* 10% money back to the boys and girls club.
* if they are doing fund raising if needed, we would donate T-shirts for the volunteers to wear.

Did you get the first and last names of any of the people who are the leaders of those clubs as well as their titles that they might have? I don't really know what to call them. But, maybe administrator, president, CEO, etc.

Yes I do they are the program assistant, I have all the names of all the program assistant here in the bay for the boys and girls club, they are just waiting for the proposal and I got no experience on doing it.

Do you have Microsoft Excel on your computer?

Yes I do!

Do you know how to use it? It's a lot trickier than Microsoft Word. However, if we post any attachments to posts here, it's a lot easier to do it using Excel. It has something to do with the size of the files.

Also, will you be mailing these or delivering them by hand?

Some I will be emailing it but one club wants me to deliver it by hand.
I know the basic but that's about it.

I'm waiting for your move, Showme_urmove! :)

Oops! You beat me to it!

Please prepare a sample Excel document and try to attach it to a post, please.

It doesn't have to be something really meaningful, just something to see if I can open it.

I've just attached a sample document.

Please let me know if you can open it.

Thanks!

some i will be emailing it but one club wants me to deliver it by hand.
I know the basic but thats about it.

If any of these places are within a reasonable driving distance, you might want to consider delivering those by hand, unless they've specified or that you've agreed to send them via email.

Also, if you do deliver them by hand, it might give you further opportunity to sell yourself and what you have to offer in person.

Never thought of it that way. I got your document and I did opened it with no problem, yes I will deliver it by hand, I want to do all that by Monday, cause all the clubs will be ordering their summer shirts by this month and I want them as one of our account it will help our business a lot.

I saw your Visitor Message back to me. But, I wasn't notified that it was there. Please keep things on this thread so that I know what's happening.

If you click on Post Reply, you'll see a little paper clip. When you click on that, you'll click on Browse to find a document that you might want to attach. You find the document, click on it and then click on Open in the window on your computer. Then you click on Upload in the window on the site for the Upload.

Please try to attach a document so that we know that I can read one of yours that's in Excel format.

While you're doing that, I'll give you some ideas as to how you can begin to word your Proposal to the clubs.

Every time I try to upload it, keeps tilling me that its invalid. And my KB is only 8.08

Ideas for the wording of your Proposal.


Your Heading at the Top, Center of the Page.
Name of Your Business.
Address.
Website Address.
Phone Number(s) and Email Address.

[Left justified]
The Name of the Club.
The Title and Name of the Person.
Their Address.

Dear [Name, Mr. Mrs. Miss. Ms. Dr.]

Please accept this correspondence as being a proposal to provide... [I'd like you to word the rest of that, in case it needs some revision. It just needs to be brief and telling them what this proposal is concerning.]

We really enjoyed visiting you and your facility on [Day of Week and Date.] What we are proposing is the following concerning meeting the needs of your Club.

[You provide the details as to what you will provide as well as the prices. May be bulleted in some way.]

Please let us know if you have and questions. We look forward to an opportunity to further discussion with you as to how we might best serve the needs of [Name of the Club.]

Thank you.


Very Truly Yours,

[Your Signature.]

[Your Name, Typed.]

What's above should give you some ideas. But, I really need to get to bed now.

Like I've already written elsewhere, I'm usually on here about 12:00 A.M. your time.

Good night!

every time i try to upload it, keeps tilling me that its invalid. and my KB is only 8.08

Did you save the document that I sent to you? If you didn't, please save it to your Desktop. That way, it will be easy to find.

Thanks!

Thank you so much clough and yes I did save it good night and God bless!

I really do need to get to bed, now! It's 3:32 A.M. for me! I'm turning into a pumpkin!

Please type something additional to what I typed in the document that I sent to you, save it to your desktop and see if you can upload that to the site.

I'll have a look at what you've done, tomorrow.

Good Night!

God Bless You, Too! :)

I'm just stopping by here for a minute, Showme_urmove.

Are you able to attach the file?

I'll return, later...

Hey clough I'm online I'm doing my best to attach the letter

OK I think I've attached it

I haven't found it.

I'm sorry that I missed you the last time you were online here!

No problem clough we are busy people, hope everythings is good with you!

Things could be better, here...

But, I've had a slight increase in business...

I am hopeful!

Have you tried to alter the file that I sent to you?

Yea I attached it I hope you got the chance to opened it.

Which post is it attached to?

To this one can't find it?

Nope, I can't find it. It should appear like the one that I attached in post #149.

Let me try changing my "skin" to see if I can find the one that you attached. That might be the problem. Please give me a few minutes.

Can you see yours in the post?

I changed my "skin" and still can't find it!

Let me try to send it as PM

Here's another thought...

Please go to your Profile and check out your Edit Options. You should have something like the following there.


Visible Post Elements
You have the option to show or hide various elements of messages, which may be of use to users on slow internet connections, or who want to remove extraneous clutter from posts.
Show Signatures
Show Avatars
Show Images (including attached images and images in [IMG] code)

If you don't have the Show Images thing checked, that might be part of the problem.

I'm not really sure though. It's just a thought...

Seems weird though, that I can't see what you've attached since I moderate this particular forum topic area.

Thanks!

I did receive your PM. But what you sent wasn't an attachment. I can read everything that you sent, though.

Let me review the content of what you sent...

You've done a really good job!

Here are some suggestions for how to improve on it a bit.

For your header at the top, I would suggest centering that.

There's a quotation mark before SN in the name of your business. You don't need that.

I see an IP address in the header. Did you intend for that to be there? I would suggest your physical address underneath the name of your business. Directly underneath that, your phone number and then your email address. The most currect way of listing a phone number would be 555.555.1212 That being with the use of the periods.

I would avoid all CAPS in any part of the header, unless that is the way that you really advertise the name of your business.

Are all the words of the name of your business all together without any spaces in it?

More to come...

Thank you very much, I will change that, the quotation wasn't there when I had it on micro words yes my business name does have a space I will change that right this moment. This might sound stupid but what's an IP address?

Additional suggestions:

Is it all caps in BOYS & GIRLS CLUB the way that they title it?
It's important to title it exactly as they word and punctuate it.

I would put the Unit Director's name first, following by a comma and then the title.

Mr, needs to have a period rather than a comma after it.

After the last name of the Unit Director, you would put a comma, as in Dear Mr. [Name],

Is the name of the Boys & Girls Club club complete? Or, might there also need to be an "of Salinas, CA" included in the name?

"One of the most affordable prices in town for your T-Shirts." "One", doesn't need to be capitalized. Suggested revision to wording would be: one of the most affordable prices available anywhere for your T-Shirts.

More to come...

thank you very much, i will change that, the quotation wasnt there when i had it on micro words yes my business name does have a space i will change that right this moment. this might sound stupid but whats an IP address?

An IP address means Internet Protocol. It's the numerical label (address) of your computer or the numerical label (address) of the server that you're using.

Please see the following:

IP Address Definition - Google Search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=IP+Address+Definition&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=)

Got you! I don't know how it got there. I don't know why my IP address is showing

Thank very much, and yes the boys and girls club is all cap, I copied it exactly how it shows on the business card.

Other suggested revisions:

I had forgotten - you need to put a date underneath your header and also have it centered. May 10, 2010 or, you could also use May 9, 2010

The bullets are good with what you're going to offer them.

• Lowest Price Guaranteed! Proof of price from previous vendors will be needed.
• 10% of any order will be donated back to the BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS (Make sure of the name of them.)
• If you do any fundraising, we will donate T-Shirts for the volunteers - up to a maximum of 20 T-Shirts.

Please let us know if you have any questions. We look forward to an opportunity to further discussion with you as to how we might best serve the needs of BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS.

Thank you.


Very Truly Yours,


[Your Name.]

How far away from Napa Valley are you, please?

Thank you very much clough, you have been a huge help on our company. Were not that far away from napa only 2 hours drive not bad a drive, why?

It's getting very late for me again and I need to get to bed.

[Your Name.]

I hope that makes sense to you.

Does it?

Do you have any questions, please?

Yes it does, thank you very much clough. Thank you for being so patient and understanding, english is not my first language, and not my best subject. Thank you so much for the help, and if there is something I can do for you please don't hesitate to ask.

It got a little confusing to me with the last edit that I did.

Adding colors and centering makes a post to be filled with a lot of extra stuff for a person to work around.

Basically, you center everything at the top and the bottom of the letter, header, date, the closing [Very Truly Yours] and your name at the bottom. Name and address of the person to whom it's being sent as well as the body of the letter is left-justified.

Everything also needs to look square on the page. Not too much on the bottom and not too much on the top.

I have other ideas for your advertising. But, that is for a later time...

It would be really cool, if you could post some images here sometime of what you've done!

I can hardly think or type right now...

Need to get to bed!

I hope that you have a restful sleep!

God's Love and Peace to You! :)

I forgot one last thing...

You'll want to use either Times New Roman or Ariel for the font. Size 12 is okay. If you try a size 14, that's even easier for people to read, if you can fit everything on one page using size 14. Also, you'll want one inch margins on the sides and no less than 1/2 inch at the bottom and the top, preferably one inch at the bottom and top, but in order to get everything on one page, you may need to use 1/2 inch.

Later...

I would like to say, thank you so much clough for all your help! Even though you don't know me, your welling to stay up and help a stranger get things going. You have a kind heart, God bless you and your family!
I thank you once again!

You're welcome! :)

How did it go today?

It went good, he was happy to see us, hope that was a good sign, and he was happy that we brought the proposal, the way it sounded seems like he was waiting for the proposal, I just hope we get that account so we can get busy this summer!

I'm glad that things went well for you! :)

Do you have any images in your computer of things that you've done concerning screen printing?

Yes I do clough would you want me to send it to you? I don't have much images yet, but ill send as much as I can.

I would really like for you to post them on this thread.

If you have any trouble doing that, please let me know on this thread.

Thanks!

Hey clough! How you doing?
I am going through my album on the camera to see which picture to put in.I would do my best to post it by tomorrow.
I will diffidently let you know if I am having trouble posting it.
Thank you very much for all your help.
If you need any shirts done for your business or just for yourself let me know ill do it for you, that's the only thing I can give back for all the help you have done.

I'm doing okay, but still am having issues making money.

Business has picked up a little bit though. Had a piano tuning today that was a chip tuning as well as a real one. Excellent money within a very short amount of time! Also gained a couple of new private music students. One is to play the piano and the other, the electric bass.

How are things going with you?

Tell me about it, same here having issues making that money!
But were staying positive and know that God is here with us.

I'm glad business has picked up! I always like that, excellent money with less work, makes you wish everyday was like it.
Woow electric bass, what's easy to learn bass or acoustic guitar?

Its hard to start a business from ground up. We are brainstorming on how to better the business and what steps to do. Haven't heard back from the Boys and Girls club yet, still staying positive about that account but were not putting all our eggs in one basket.
Its so hard cause were new at this business, no experience at it so were just learning from errors and trials.
But were kind of learning the market of it, and who to contact for our client. Things will pick up once we gets things going.

Do the clubs go all the year round, out there?

A stringed instrument of any kind that's called a "bass" is much easier to learn than a multi-stringed folk instrument like any type of guitar, where a person is expected to be able to play chords.

Yea the clubs do go all year round.

I don't know much about music, I don't even know what a bass looks like, sad huh. But I do always want to learn how to play the guitar, But one of this days when things gets better I will take the time to learn to play it.

If I haven't already posted it on this thread, here's a link to a free program for editing images. It's quite good!

IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide (http://www.irfanview.com/)

yea the clubs do go all year round.

i dont know much about music, i dont even know what a bass looks like, sad huh. But i do always want to learn how to play the guitar, But one of this days when things gets better i will take the time to learn to play it.

I can teach you basics about music and guitar, right on this site!

Really! How?
That would be great, I took a class on guitar on my senior year of HS but I just learned the basic and forgot how to read music. But that would be great if you can, I just need to tone up my guitar but I don't know how.

We'd need to start up a separate thread in order to do the music stuff.

Do you have any images in your computer of work that you've already done on t-shirts?

No problem to start a new thread about music.
I have an art work from previous clients but not an actual picture on the finish product on my computer its on the camera.

Do you know how to get the images from your camera to be in your computer?

Let's discuss the music thing at a later time. I need to get to bed in the next few minutes...

Yea I know how to export it from the camera into my desk top.
Yea no problem discussing the music that's not a rush, I need to go to bed also have to take my grandpa to his appointment early morning.
Thank you again for the help clough
Goodnight and God bless!

If you do try IrfanView for resizing your images so that they fit here, 640 x 480 pixels is a good size to use on the site for in a post.

Good Night and God Bless You, Too! :)

Hey, GREAT! You were finally able to post some images! :)

Things definitely look nice and clean on what you've produced on the shirts!

Are those just t-shirts?

Also, did you know that on a lot of the advertising sites as well as where you can have a free website, that you can post images on them?

Thanks!

Thank you clough!
No they are sweat shirts, but I do have t shirts I'm going to upload them in a abit.
I didn't know that that you can have a free website on the advertising sites.

My partners brother actually a web designer, his going to help us do a website after this month.. Were just waiting for him to finish with his project..

Hi, Showme_urmove!

What I wrote basically, is that you can post images on a lot of the advertising sites as well as on the sites where you can have a free website.

Why not get a website started now? It's not hard. Sure, your partners brother can eventually help you with some things. But, the sooner that you get your information out there on the Internet, the sooner that it will be that you might be getting new business because of that.

Your right clough! Never thought of it that way.
Which site can I go to. To begin a free website

Here's a good one with which you can start.

Webs - Make a free website, get free hosting (http://www.webs.com/)

In about fifteen minutes, you could have a website up and running!

Let me find the links to the websites that I run the most on it...

Here's a couple of links, now.

Bend of the River Chorus - Home (http://www.freewebs.com/bend-of-the-river-chorus/)

Quad City Wind Ensemble | (http://www.freewebs.com/quad-city-wind-ensemble/)

On the second one, in particular, you'll find where I've posted a lot of images.

Here's a couple of links, now.

Bend of the River Chorus - Home (http://www.freewebs.com/bend-of-the-river-chorus/)

Quad City Wind Ensemble | (http://www.freewebs.com/quad-city-wind-ensemble/)

On the second one, in particular, you'll find where I've posted a lot of images.

Thank you clough:
Im on it right now.

Is that you teaching the class?

No, that's not me directing the group. I'm not sure if I'm in any one of those images there. I would need to do some checking...

However, because of my current connection speed, it's very difficult and time consuming for me to open any page that has a lot of images on it.

If you click on the following link, that's me standing next to a musical instrument that I built, or rather, finished building. Someone else hadn't finished it and had glued some things together that didn't need to be glued together!

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/art/artist-you-133294-31.html

Ohh you look sharp with that suit.
I got the site kind of going here is the link to it.

screenprinting - Home (http://sncustomscreenprinting.webs.com/)

I only got the home done, but I need to get to bed, need to wake up early tomorrow but I'm hoping to finish it by this weekend. Let me know what you think of it so far.

Okay, I've been to the site.

You've got a great start! One suggestion that I would make, is that you try to use a different color for the letters that are actually supplied by the site, other than white. The white on the black is a bit hard on the eyes!

What color would you suggest.

Against anything black, I would suggest a lighter kind of green or sort of gold.

Your site is about the screen printing business. So, colorful is a good way to go!

There will be many things to communicate with each other about using that site. It will rank up there towards that front ends of the search engines. But, there are certain things to do to insure that that will happen.

I know that you need to be up early. So, do I.

So, I pray for you a restful sleep and a very blessed tomorrow! :)

Good night to you!

Thank you clough! Sorry I didn't get a chance to say goodnight to you.
May God always bless you and your family with health and happiness.

I hope that you've had a very productive week, Showme_urmove!

I hope and pray the same for you and your family as you are for me!

Did you change or add anything yet to the site that you started?

Thank you!

So, what's been happening, Showme_urmove?
