The best place to get a live in slave like maid is to go to the Catholic Church and give good tithing then make it known that you are need of such a person to clean your house and do those things you don’t feel like doing.

When you start a design you need to think of a theme. What do you want your coin to represent? Once you have that you can create the coin around the theme you chose. Color is going to be important so you need to choose the right metal to match you colors and your theme. Such as high-polished gold plating may not look good with gray enamel paint. Try different combinations out until you get something you like. Remember that some themes like licensed logos and artwork may need prior approval to use.
Other factors in a coin design are whether you have an odd shaped coin or a round one. Odd shaped coins are more times likely to be valuable and most hunted among the collecting community. It is vital your theme pieces match or compliment your shape. If the don’t your coin will only be awkward at the least. Try being exotic in your coin shape instead of using the same thing everyone else has. If you’re trying to make a living from being a coin designer you better make a large effort in being different.

Affiliate Marketing is a popular method of promoting web businesses in which an affiliate is rewarded for every visitor, subscriber and/or customer provided through his efforts.

When I was a kid I could call someone and ask if their refrigerator was running and not worried about getting caught. Nobody had caller ID them. To figure out who you were, the police had to actually trace your calls. The TV shows would show smart felons counting the actual time it would take to trace a call and hanging up just before the time ran out. Well the times are quite different now.With the advent of caller ID, people can know at least the telephone number from where someone was calling and guess who it is that called. However

With the recent advent of the Ipod, a lot of people are using portable Mp3 players to carry their entire music collection around with them. What just a few years ago would have required you to lug a suitcase full of CDs around, now can fit in the palm of your hand. Some Ipods can carry up to 60Gb of songs (and now video) on a single miniature hard drive. The Ipod even looks cool and lights up like a magical glowing device. Besides Apple, numerous companies make portable Mp3 playersThis doesn’t even begin to get into the phenomenon of

You’ve got your new business up and running but no one seems to be buying from you? Are you sure that you are selling stuff that people want? There are ways to ensure that what you are selling is what people actually want.First of all look at what market you will be selling to - that it who do you expect to buy your products? Try and be as detailed in your market description as possible. For example are you hoping to sell to the reasonably wealthy in the 20 -35 age range? That's a packed and very competitive area, so look defining t

Each of the edging techniques certainly adds class to a challenge coin but it’s not for every coin you design. Choose wisely not to use a fancy edge on a plain Jane challenge coin.
The 3D option is crazy in some cases to make the images on your coin raise off the surface creating almost a sculpture. This technique is a bit more expensive but the pay off it worth more than words can say. Often 3D take a regular coin out of it and makes something so valuable that collector’s will be knocking down your door for one. Make 3D available in your tools of the trade and you will be well rewarded in this addition. Sometimes you may be using an Eagle for example and 2D just makes it look like a pencil drawing with little to no detail. By adding 3D to that Eagle you can get detail in the feathers, shading, and most of all you can feel the entire sculpture.
Let’s talk about epoxy use on a coin for a minute. We highly discourage the use of epoxy clear coating because it takes all the detail created and hides it from your finger tips. Challenge coins are meant to touch and show off. Why would you want to cover it all up? We advise all designers to stay away from epoxy at all cost.
Finally covering aesthetics and uniqueness since they go hand in hand you need to make sure you are putting out a product that can be appreciated but also admired. Why go through all the hard work if you are not going to get the rewards
