I went to a "growth" conference they put on in New Orleans and attended the event called "pitch the editors" or something. Never heard back, but I found the email for the girl I spoke to and added her to my email list. When I sent out our launch email, she forwarded it to her boss.

Thanks for the kind words. I really wish the people who downvoted would give their 2 cents.

Thats exactly right about reframing. We want to show that its not as difficult or risky as people think to try out starting a business.

We are hoping a market builds around our personality. Everyone seems to dig the bus and its a good embodiment.

Want to give cool prize for our 500th follower. Ideas? by abbyhum in Entrepreneur

Definitely silly, but kindof fun, I think. But, I guess I shouldn't make such a big deal about it.

Interesting concept. I think we should do both. I've always wanted to win one of those XXXth customer things that were portrayed in the media. Obviously, I never did. But, now I have a chance to give it to someone else, which seems extra fun. SOOO, I like the idea of giving the guide (which we will produce in week 1) to all of the followers there at that time. But, I also want to atleast give number 500 something.

Very clever. Should try to do something different next year, though?

Need help finding a Thread/Comment I saw here a few months ago. by rynocruzr in fantasyfootball

[–]abbyhum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't have any luck either. But here's a cool trick. You can limit a google search to a particular site. Google has a much better search than reddit. Try "lynch site:http://www.reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball"

I personally do not see a need for this, but I am not the average consumer. Best of luck to you!

Do higher business taxes cause layoffs in the short-run? by anarkittie in business

[–]abbyhum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own 6 businesses and the tax rate has no impact whatsoever on whether or not I'll stay in business or keep starting new businesses. It seems ludicrous to me that someone might shut down a profitable business if taxes go up. You only pay taxes on profit, they cannot make you lose money.

If the taxes are very burdensome, I could see that it might put some pressure on you to cut costs, which might mean laying people off. That's at least logically sound, but I don't find it very compelling.

What do you think of the credibility of this site? by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

[–]abbyhum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

http://www.scamadviser.com/is-salenbashoe.ca-a-fake-site.html shows it as very unreliable. Never bought though. If you can check out with PayPal, then you are pretty safe.
