Business idea of the Fall, (I'm hiring)

Men:  2 years ago my cousin and I were looking into opening one of those "pop up" halloween stores.  We were going to rent out a store for a month, and just stock it with halloween costumes.  They open up in Brooklyn every year, and the line is usually out the door.  Costume stores make 95% of their sales in October.

So, I would like to form a webpage selling halloween costumes.  I have a cosignment  contract with "spirit halloween" and amazon associates.  Average commission with spirit is about $6, and with amazon its around $2.     Looking for someone to help me design the page (I suck), and then just promote the crap out of it for October.  I will put up the money for hosting, and we will split the profits on Nov 1.  Anyone interested?  Would love to have the page up by Oct 1 and start making some money.....thecaptainpower@gmail.com

Oh boy what a disaster.  I DEFINATELY should have hired somebody.  I was reading Tynans post about strengths and weaknesses, and I made a comment about forgetting about your weaknesses and focusing on your strengths.  My weakness is any type of programming, I am a business man by trade.

First of all, I opened a cosignment agreement with spirit halloween through commission junction.com.  I got approved pretty quickly, but then the links werent working.  I called them on the phone and they said its a "known issue".  The 2nd problem was when I used godaddy.com as a host, but I purchased the wrong package.  I also called them on the phone and got that straightened out.  Then I started trying to adust the html coding, and my freakin wordpress page wouldn't refresh until the next morning. 

So pretty much now I am just showing spriit halloween and amazon costume ads on my main blog http://thecaptainpower.blogspot.com   If anyone wants to take over this project you can have it. I registered the domain name and I have hosting for a month.

How are you promoting this? Do you have any avenues that you are considering?

Okay.. here's my suggestion if you haven't found a suitable partner yet. Hire someone to do the work for you. Perhaps from another country. Then, keep all the profits. Good luck! BTW, why do you start off most of your posts addressing, "Men?" I hope it's some kind of a NYC unisex term, like "guys" is in most parts of the country (and the world.) If you really mean, men, that's errr.... well, you know.

Its even worse than a NYC term, its a Brooklyn term ; ) Think of an army general addressing his troops, "Men, we are going into battle"...

Goodbye 2012

I'm sitting by a crackling fire at my aunt and uncle's house in New Jersey and we're just a couple hours into the new year, which means that it's a perfect time to review the year and look forward.

If I were to title my year, I'd call it the year I got serious. Something interesting happened near the end of 2011-- I realized that I wasn't actually on track for a lot of my goals, that I was going to have to actually get serious about stuff, and that this seriousness had to come in the form of action, not talk. I ended 2011 with a few months of solid productivity under my belt, and a year-end post that optimistically predicted a productive year.
