Solution Owner Showing Support

Justin, the owner of Solution Ramp Park, showed his support for fourcast this past weekend at the Salt Lake City Dew Tour stop. He posted these pictures on facebook, so I guess it’s ok if I yank them and use them on the blog, right? I should also give a shout out to Brett Banasiewicz, [...]

Salt Lake City Dew Tour Results

This past weekend Salt Lake City hosted the 4th stop of this year’s Dew Tour. This was a crucial stop for many riders, including Marcus. Only a few points separated just about the entire top 10 guys, it was still anyone’s game. Marcus had a bit of an off day (hey, it happens) and placed [...]

Planning a BMX contest

Yesterday I rode up to Muncie, Indiana to meet with Justin at Solution Ramp Park. Super nice guy with a lot of ambition. He runs a real clean and polished indoor skate/bmx park along with a pro shop. I’d be willing to bet the park is the nicest indoor facility in the midwest. Anyways, we [...]

I’m not dead, I promise.

I’ve been pretty busy lately trying to get all of the social media side of my businesses streamlined. I noticed I was spending a lot of time on twitter and facebook because I was doing it the old fashion way, manually. Who seriously does that anymore? Especially when I run 5 twitter accounts, several facebook [...]

Getting Free Press

Advertising is expensive, especially for a start-up company. You can easily spend $100,000 in print ads if you’re not careful. Building a brand doesn’t happen over night, so even if you have the extra $100,000 laying around, I’d be careful about taking a full page ad out in every magazine aimed at your target market. [...]

I think #1 is the best, but I'm not a huge fan of any. My problem with #1 is it looks like a beanstalk. I like #1 because it is clean and simple. However, I'm confused by "Mulch & More" tagline. I realize it's difficult to show mulch in a logo. Ma...

I like #1 but would say remove the CO -this is a direct message to your prospects -make your biz name/logo/domain common sense to your prospects. My only concern is what is "Supply" refer to? Maybe try to be more direct/specific with your name so...

Hi there - I'm alive, yes! I've just been very busy. Lots of stuff going on. Let's meet up soon. I haven't been able to make it to North Indy Networkers for awhile now-was doing a fitness boot camp which met right after work. Shoot me an email if you want to catch up!

Set the hook: Everyone enjoys a good deal. We’ll jump at anything these days to save a buck or two. Why not offer your visitors the same opportunity? By offering visitors purchase incentives on the main page… Continue

MEDIAPLUG was mentioned in a book

I was pretty excited when the book entitled "How to Open and Operate a Financially Successful Web Site Design Business" contacted me and wanted to included a case study about MEDIAPLUG. Maybe I should actually read the book and see what they have to say... Just wanted to share with SmallerIndiana.

Good-Bye Corporate America

Goodbye Corporate America

Ok, not that I ever was really involved too much in Corporate America, but I still wave my hand and say good-bye. I’m making the switch and following a dream that I’ve had for several years now. I’m launching my own apparel line.

I’ve collected sneakers for years, and at one point in high school I had over 100 pairs. I also ran an online sneaker store selling rare and hard to find Nike’s and Air Jordans. I got lucky. I had a friend at Nike who would send me samples of… Continue

Help

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.
