Anyone can start a business.  It’s easy; write out a few things, set up a website and domain and you are good to go.  Really, even the out of pocket expense is minimal.  One can easily find $10 hosting with a domain, and with that comes a large abundance of business ventures.
Due to this easy nature, there are of course a lot of business out there vying for customers.  Most will sink quickly, and others may falter a bit but still succeed, or maybe if there is …

Artists and designers have a way of making their point well known at times.  In response to the BP Gulf disaster, contests are being run to redesign their logo into something more fitting for their new public persona.  At times the new logos are rather fitting, but through art they are telling a lot more about the overall perception of the company that paint some interesting pictures.
It’s hard to imagine that BP will be able to really recover from this, and between the outrage at the company and the monetary damage they are taking, they may need some re-branding soon so maybe they should use of these entries. (Warning: A ton of images …

This wonderful download is one of my newest and personal favorites.  Admittedly, I do have some favoritism going on here anyway as this was created by me.

I received a message not to long ago from a fairly disgruntled fellow blogger.  In short, they wanted to know why the bigger names out there don’t ‘share’ the market.

Or, you panic or anything here (because I’m sure that so many people continually hit refresh at paradox9.com *sigh* sarcastic blogger moment).  The website has taken a bit of a newer look, it’s a lot cleaner and much easier to navigate (the almost invisible links in the sidebar are now replaced with really easy to read ones, among other things).
I also have a brand new section- paradox9 now has (and I’m working on more) premium template.  You can see them here: Premium Templates.  While it’s fairly slim picken’s now- I’m hoping to get a bit more done within the next few weeks.  Of course the fab free ones …

Now, the wonderful part of the internet is allowing people to run a business completely from home.  Some people can ‘get away with’ never having a real face to face meeting with their clients, and instead choose to opt to use im, social media, and email.
While it does primarily depend on a few different things, it’s sometimes perfectly possible.
So, in running your business- it the face to face replaced with something else?  Is this a good thing or bad thing?

Of late I’ve been toying around with some promotional idea for a newer website of mine.  The above is my personal favorite, it’s a matchbook box (here’s a link to the template: Matchbox Template).  It also brought up some other fun and different ideas that business and artists (and other business) could use to promote their work.
