Seeding Mr. Spic and family

So as I said I was very happy to have lot of seeds of spearmint, I wanted just to try them out now! I wanted to have spearmint in my pot now! But it seems that the little seeds are a different meaning for time.

I took little plastic pots, well not exactly pots, I don't know how they are called, but I know that they are used by nurseries to nurser their seeds.

I filled that pots with soil, which I bought with the seeds too.

Dropped the seeds on top of the soil, gave them some water and now I had to wait.

2/42 Ways To Get Customers

The second way to get customers according to the hundred dollar business blog is to "Tell your family & friends about your product". Now that is an easy one, unless your family don't support you.

You might think that the first think you can do to promote your business is to talk to friends and relatives.
Well friends yeah, because they will be at the same age as you and they will be happy to help you with your new business.

Tell people about it (your business) anywhere you see them - Ways To Get Customers

The hundred dollar business blog has a very good post about ways to get more customers. I have an idea, to analyze every single way so it's more accessible and more friendly to you, to apply to your business or job.

Today I will analyze the following way to get customers: "Tell people about it anywhere you see them – bus, plane, grocery store, etc."

Well easy to say, but not easy at all to do. You need have much confidence and lot of experience to do such thing.

But you can start from places you are familiar with, like your bakery where you buy bread everyday or your near grocery store. There must be a local bar, or coffee shop. Anyway there sure are shops you know the owners and relate with.

My first success as an Informer

I did it ! At Friday I accomplished what I couldn't do at Thursday. Remember my post "Me as a Salesman" where I was yelling the salesmen, well yes I don't change my thoughts but I choose not to be a salesman I choose to be an Informer (if I am saying this right).

So what is the difference between me and a classic salesman. The classic salesman pushes more and more to make the sale, because he/she interests only for the money.

Skype microphone stops

I had a problem with my skype in Kubuntu. It stopped recording, which means that the other person in the call didn't hear my voice.

After endless searching over the net, and installing and uninstalling Skype, I read somewhere in the skype forum that if you start skype as a superuser that the problem does not occur anymore. I tried it and until know, after 1 hour and 28 minutes of call the mic didn't stop.

So if you have this problem too try:

#sudo skype

in your console

Me as a Salesman

Today it was an exciting day. I 'll explain you why. Yesterday I met with the headmaster of a magazine which is distributed via a cd rom. Yes it's not printed on paper. He suggested me to be "salesman" for the marketing department of the magazine. Keep in mind that it's not a huge magazine but it covers almost all Greece.

My job is to find sponsors for this cd rom. I have to go from one business to another to collect sponsorships.

Today it was my first day, and I write in the past cause this day is gone for me.

Google analytics new look

Google analytics has changed layout. I believe that it's more user friendly and quicker than the older version.

But It bothers me that on every refresh the time period you have selected gets lost and it shows you again the hole history of your site.

Nothing else, I wanted to mention just that :-)

Mr. Spic's great adventure

Hi everybody I told you that I am going to tell you about the little, very little seed Mr. Spic. Mr. Spic is a very proud and selfish seed, but with a little love It can you show it's respect.
The story began before one year. About May I went to a garden store to buy some seeds.
Yes I wanted seeds. But I wanted not any kind of seeds. I wanted spearmint seeds. So why spearmint ? Cause spearmint can be a very good friend.
Spearmint refreshes your mouth in dry days.
Spearmint can follow some nice meals like pasta.
Spearmint can make your ice tea even more icy.
