Hi George,
Daniel Scocco here, and this is the Daily Blog Tips newsletter.
A couple of months ago I sent you a message about a promotion that
the Mighty Deals website was having. It was a package of 10
fully-responsive web templates, do you remember?
The feedback I got from readers was great, and it was a success for
the creators of the themes as well, so much that they decided to
run a similar promotion, with 10 new templates being offered (i.e.,
even if you purchased the original package, make sure to check this
one out).
Each of those themes costs $30 individually (you can go to the
FlashMint website to check it out), but on the promotional package
you'll get 10 of them for $17 (instead of $300). Not bad huh?
Here's the link where you can get it:

"Fully-responsive" means that the templates adapt to the
device that is used to view them. For instance, they will display
differently on a smartphone, on a tablet, on a desktop computer
with a small screen, with a large screen and so on. In other words,
if you use the templates on your website it will already be ready
for mobile devices.
You can test this feature if you want. Simply launch the demo of
one of the themes and then narrow the browser window gradually. You
should notice the elements moving around and changing size to adapt
to the browser window.
The themes are also optimized for SEO, for speed, and the PSD files
are included, so you can customize them, either for yourself or for
clients.
For $17 it's a pretty sweet deal in my opinion (I bought it
too). Here's the link again:

George, Here's A Negotiation Tip I Learned Today
Hi George,
Daniel Scocco here, and this is the Daily Blog Tips newsletter.
I have an important business presentation scheduled 8 days from
now, and I figured I should bring some business cards to exchange
with people who will be there. The cards I had in hand were old and
with incorrect information on them (e.g., old email and telephone
number), so I decided to get new ones.
After researching a bit on the web I found a local company that
does both the design and the printing of the cards. They are quite
expensive (around $150 for 1,000 cards), but their work looks
solid, so I decided to go with them.
On the website it said that delivery took up to 10 week days, but I
figured it wouldn't be a problem for them to deliver my cards
within 8 days.
Long story short I paid upfront, they sent a mock of the design, I
liked it and said they could proceed to print. I also mentioned I
would need the cards within 8 days. The answer I got back:
"Maybe the cards will be ready within 8 days, but we can't
guarantee it. As you read on our website our delivery time is 10
week days."
My big mistake was to close the deal too soon. I am pretty sure
that if I had put a requirement of getting the cards within 8 days
before closing the deal and paying the answer would be: "Sure
thing, we can most definitely deliver it within 8 days." After the
money changed hands, though, my bargaining power was down the drain.
Sure, it was just a set of business cards and $150, but the concept
applies to any sort of negotiation, whether you are buying a car, a
business, hiring a freelancer and so on.
Lesson learned: remember to lay all your requirements down before
closing the deal and paying the other part.
