Screen printing as a hobby, or career?

Good morning friends,

Kat and I would like to welcome you to our forum. If you haven't been here before, we are Graphic Designers, as well as Screenprinters and would like to spread interesting tidbits on these topics as well as marketing your shops. We are members of t-shirt forums as well as threadchat forums and have gleaned a lot of information there as well as other business related forums. You can click on the zazzle store on the right, or view our linkedin profile also on the right. We would love to hear your comments on any of these topics.

Screenprinting is a business that a lot of weekend biz owners have turned into a full time career after starting as a hobby.

To cold call or not to cold call, that is the question. There are many proponents of both, and I have been somewhat successful with cold calling although it is time consuming. The best way is to develop a reputation with quality and unique work to get the masses to come to you. Social networking is a good way to achieve this.

Feel free to post your comments. See ya next Monday,

Jeff and Kat

A New Direction

Good morning friends,

I hope you have enjoyed previewing "The Amazing Shubi Bird" as well as the adventures of Shubi. As some of you may know, Shubi has his own blog and will be posting his adventures there. As for this blog, we at TamedLyon Designs, will be focusing more on the graphic design aspects. Kat is an award winning graphic designer, and I am a screenprinter by trade. We hope to open our own screenprinting operation in the near future, but for now we will be posting along those lines. Feel free to comment or maybe guest post. Either way we would love to hear from you out there. Oh, Shubi's blog is at http://gotshubi.wordpress.com/ We look forward to putting up some useful content in the near future.

Our plans are to post to this blog every Monday, so stay tuned.

Jeff and Kat
