Recently I had a batch of custom stickers made up for the Chav Car website YourCarIsShit.com. I got these stickers at a knockdown price (read free) because I knew a nice chap in the print industry. If however you don’t know someone who can help you out like this and you require some good quality Labels, you can always try one of the many online print companies such as Frontier Label, Inc.

As with most companies offering a printing service online they have a quoting system where you can enter your detailed requirements in order to get a price.

One of the difficult things about dealing with printers is knowing all of the specific details with regards to preparing your files for printing. How to package them properly, embedded fonts, bleed areas etc. Luckily this site has a help section to advise you on how to get your artwork ready for them to work on.

Frontier Label also offers instant online tracking of your order, meaning you’ll always know the status of your order… so long as you have an Internet connection. I always do of course!

Of course the proof with any printers isn’t in the price, it’s in the quality of the printing. There’s no point saving money on a cheaper printer or using cheaper stock if the quality lets your company’s image down. Frontier Label have a section of the site where you can order a free sample pack to see just what sort of quality you’ll get from them.

On Saturday December 8th Manchester’s own Ricky Hatton is going to beat the living snot out of latest US hype Floyd Mayweather Jr in Las Vegas. For months now this fight has been hyped up on UK TV, press and even in Manchester itself, but how the hell can we get to see it live in Vegas.

I’ve found a website offering tickets to the fight, but they’re starting at $1,200 each! SourceTix.com usually specialise in Theatre tickets, but also sell tickets to loads of different events from concerts to WWE Wrestling events, and of course major Heavyweight boxing matches.

Personally this seems like a lot to pay for a ticket to see Ricky Hatton knock some guy around for a few minutes, but if you’re desperate to see the fight live, these guys have tickets.

The reason I was looking at their site however was from an Internet Marketing perspective.

One thing I found funny in a not so funny sort of way was their obvious use of key phrases for SEO. They’ve blatantly been reading up on SEO, or had an SEO company involved. The homepage at the moment features 11 examples of the phrase ‘Trans-Siberian Orchestra’ and 5 of those are text links!

That’s some over use of a key phrase.

I hope they don’t get penalised for spam because of that lot.

A striking logo is the key to the branding of any company, or indeed any blog; such as MrDaz.com! The caricature in our logo was created by Aled Williams, a rather spaced out Welsh designer. A useful person to know if you need a logo or two, if however you don’t know Aled you might want to find a cheaper solution to creating your logos.

This is where The Logo Creator comes in. It’s a piece of logo design software that allows you to easily, and with little or no design ability, create impressive logos for your company. The software comes with an extensive logo design library that you can manipulate yourself, and edit to produce your own logos effortlessly.

There are 7 different packages for you to choose from, focusing on sectors such as Corporate, Travel or Sports. The website offers you the chance to view the quality of the logos before you part with any cash as well, so you know exactly what you’ll be paying for. The best bit is of course the price. The software and the bundled logo designs come in at just $29.99 each, that’s just £15 Sterling.

Alternatively you could buy the Mega Pack which includes all of the different packages and 380 professionally designed logos for you to edit for $189.95.

You needn’t worry about compatibility either as the software is available for both PC and Mac.

As a follow up to a previous review where you can rent parking spaces around the UK; have a look at this part of the same website where you can find garages for rent around the London area.

Now I’ve always been interested in this aspect of making money as often buying property to let can be out of some people’s range. Buying garages to let however is a little more within the price range of more of us. Unless of course you happen to live in areas such as London! I saw a garage in little old Bristol sell recently for over £70,000. What’s become of the world? Surely there are cheaper ways to park your car?

As it seems there aren’t, and in London where space isn’t so much at a premium as it’s gone altogether finding a garage for your prized Bentley Continental GT can be a tricky affair. Luckily with this website you can track down London garages via their search facility for as little as £100 per month. Many of the garages are just a short walk from the local tube station.

This seems an excellent idea for those of you looking to keep your motors protected in the London area, and an even better idea for those of us (and I include myself in that) considering making money from parking space and garage letting.
