Sorry about the lack of postings. The holidays, combined with my own laziness, produced insufficient bloggings, not that many of you care. My last post, an alarming 22 days ago, mentioned the possibility of a first sale. My bandmates expressed interest in what happened, since no update was available they were left clueless, as were [...]

A couple weeks ago, I contacted my friend Josh Clarke. He’s a twenty-something dude with some crazy dreds and he sings in this insane metal band, Seventh Seal. I highly recommend them. Also, Josh does some graphic design and me, being poor and all, asked him to design a logo for me. I told him to [...]

Week 4. Money Made: $380.05 Money Spent: $167.73 (This week: Ream of Paper, Little notebooks) Current Balance: $212.32 I’ve decided that this blog needs to be wittier. I don’t know what to do. I can be witty, see here. But perhaps because I look at this blog like a diary, jotting down notes and keeping [...]

My cards did come in. Thank to VistaPrint’s cheap printing and quick shipping. I recommend them, their prices on cards are really good. Also, I began making a catalog using Google’s Star Office Program. Tomorrow I am going to begin trying to add on sub-contractor’s. In the meantime I have contacted numerous vendors to [...]
Waiting Unpatiently.

Money Earned: $380.05 Money Spent: $157.68 Balance: $222.37 I’m pretty good at patience. I’ll sit on hold for 20 minutes and not be bothered. Sometimes I’m too patient. I’ll be in a waiting room or something and people will forget about me and I won’t say anything. I just sort of go with the [...]
Tipping may result in injury or death.

It’s not often you get to witness someone crushed by a giant cola refrigerator. Indeed, you see those little stickers on the sides of vending machines that say “Tipping can result in injury or death” and you kinda shrug it off. There’s this place near my house, Philly Soft Pretzel Factory, which gives out three [...]
Licensing, Foot Money, Cards

I finally got my $70.05 from that horrible experience passing out fliers. Look, I don’t mean to knock any job, especially one that pays .15 per flier, but my foot still hurts. I passed up a corn maze because of it. I also got my sales tax license in the mail. Remember I registered for [...]

I’ve had a really good last couple of days. If you read my last post you might have noticed I got my sales tax license and my trade name. Today I went to my bank and opened my first business checking account. Those big business checks are cool and I have a bank card with [...]

Total earned: $60. My blog has been going poorly. I need to update it and promote it more. Maybe you can help promote it. You can send them an email like this: “I, [insert name], urge you to read my friend’s blog. It’s really good and amazing, I’m sure you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll be [...]
Hit by a truck.

Day 3: Money Earned = $0 On Monday I decided to take a drive. I needed to find a way to begin making money, and while I had an idea I had no way to manifest it. My business plan was to sell items and services to local businesses, such as pest control, lighting, janitorial [...]
