A memorable meeting with a catalog printer.


With some difficulty, I was able to convey my need for a catalog to show all my websites and blogs. It is not very easy to convey what is on your mind when it comes to catalog printing-right? How can you tell someone what you have visualized unless you have a few samples to show?

I am in the process of launching 100 websites of e-books, audio books, video tutorials in the Internet marketing area and MRR sites. Don’t you think it is very difficult to show such a big portfolio in your business card?

That is why I decided to print a rather bulky catalog showing thumbnails and URLs of my websites. Brilliant of me-eh?

I saw some good samples online, saved them as images and printed them out. Yesterday, I called up a catalog and brochure printer and told him about my needs with the aid of the printed images of catalogs.

He nodded his head vigorously every time I showed an image. I hope it would be my turn to nod when he brings the finished product.

Free High Resolution Images on your Blog

In some cases, you may need to use large scale and high resolution images to explain better the material you are presenting in your post. However, you have certain limitation on the images size, resolution, and format, you may upload or embed. The new service Zoom.It will allow you to bypass any limitations, and you can present image of any size or complexity.

Zoom.it is a free service for viewing and sharing high-resolution imagery. You give us the link to any image on the web, and we give you a beautiful new way to experience it — along with a nice short URL.

How it works

Zoom.it converts your image to the Deep Zoom format, which lets you smoothly and efficiently explore the whole image, no matter how large is it. Zoom.it runs on Windows Azure and enhances the experience with Microsoft Silverlight when available.

How to use

  1. Upload image you like to share on any online file storage site. Save the link to the image for future use. Note that you can actually provide also links to PDFs, SVGs and even regular webpages.
  2. Paste the link into the textbox on the page http://zoom.it/pages/create and hit "Create" button.
  3. Wait for rendering completion, and you can view instantly the resulting Zoom.it image, which you can share with anyone through short URL, or by embedding the viewer directly onto your own blog.

How to sell more from your cell phone shop?

Generally, I don’t move out of my house on Sundays. Yesterday was an exception. My close friend pulled me out to a new cell phone shop that he has opened four days ago. I felt guilty for not attending the opening function. Therefore, I obliged his call but with a bit of reluctance.

His shop was loaded with hundreds of mobile phones and accessories that include cell phone cases, wireless headsets, memory cards and card readers etc. What attracted me in his shop was the display arrangement of cell phones and their accessories.

Unlike so many cell phone shops I have visited, my friend has allocated clear cut space for every brand of mobile phones and their accessories making it easy for a customer to easily look for everything he wants for his mobile phone.

I think it is good business acumen. Generally, mobile phone shops keep the accessories hidden and produce them only on inquiry.

I bought a cell phone case for my Nokia from him and wished him prosperous business.

Would Canon laser printer suit my business?

If misfortunes don’t come in singles, then it is applicable for the surprises too! It is so, at least in my case! The first surprises were from the IPL auction yesterday and the second in line was laser printers.

I was acting as a consultant for an online store of fresh vegetables and fruits. The director of the firm wanted to buy a few laser printers for his network of delivery outlets. He approached me for advice.

I immediately searched for authentic reviews in a web 2.0 site that publishes only genuine content. The surprise element came from the zero results for my search in it.

I already decided on Canon laser printers. I was only looking to find new machines with more features. Like anybody else, I want to purchase a cost effective laser printer.

Any recommendation for me?
