    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

    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?
  • May 18, 2010, 12:23 AM
    Showme_urmove

    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.
  • May 18, 2010, 12:28 AM
    Clough
    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

    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!

    Showme_urmove

    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.
  • May 20, 2010, 11:14 PM
    Showme_urmove

    Your right clough! Never thought of it that way.
    Which site can I go to. To begin a free website
  • May 20, 2010, 11:19 PM
    Clough
    Here's a good one with which you can start.

    Webs - Make a free website, get free hosting

    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

    Quad City Wind Ensemble |

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

    Is that you teaching the class?
  • May 20, 2010, 11:40 PM
    Clough
    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!

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

    screenprinting - Home

    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.
  • May 20, 2010, 11:53 PM
    Clough
    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!
  • May 20, 2010, 11:58 PM
    Showme_urmove

    What color would you suggest.
  • May 21, 2010, 12:09 AM
    Clough
    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!
  • May 21, 2010, 07:04 PM
    Showme_urmove

    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.

    Clough
    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!
