RaiseCapital.com: Get Investors for your Great Ideas

May 16th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in Tips N Tricks

A few days ago, actually a week ago, Simon of Vivid Lamp discussed a topic about creating Ideas and how to be “Remakable”. Simon quoted: “Don’t disregard any bad or bizarre ideas, these are probably the ones that others have also rejected because they were too hard or too risky.” Creating a good or great idea is sometimes the easy part. The implementation of that idea(s) is the most challenging of all. You can never find out if your idea will succeed of fail without implementation. When it comes to implementation, funding is required in most cases. When it comes to funding, we can turn to our own wallets or get investors. When it comes to getting investors, RaiseCapital might be able to help.

Online Business Card Maker from DeGraeve

April 10th, 2008 | 3 Comments | Posted in Cool Sites

Here is a cool site where you can make a simple business card with a logo and your information. The DeGraeve Business Card Maker tool is very easy to use. Just get a link of your logo image and place it in the “URL of Logo image” text box. A size of 300 to 600 pixels in height and width is recommended for the logo for it no to look crappy and images larger than the said size will break the business card maker. It is also noted that the logo maker works best with images on a white background, but this is not necessarily a rule. After choosing the logo, select a font for the text that will appear in your business card, enter your name or company name and your information on the text box supplied, then choose which font style you want for a specific line.

The Business card maker will give you a PDF file of the generated business card for you to download. You can then print your cards on letter sized paper and then cut them by trimming .25 inch from the edge of each side of the printout and then cut the cards to 3.5 in x 2 in. You’ll get 12 cards to a page.

This is a useful web app for people who want a quick, simple and easy to make a business card without the use of desktop software. The service is free and online. I have provided a sample of the generated business card below.
