It has been another crazy week here at the Love Family Household.  Leah is Coming into her last month of pregnancy and we should have little Everett to take care of some time this month.  We are hoping that if we can crack the Online Marketing Business Code we can spend all our time at home or traveling with our child and possibly make some more children if everything goes well.

Even if we can get our niche site to make us a good part time income we would be happy. Leah can continue to work at UPS part time (which provides us with Insurance) and I can continue doing magic shows part time.

So, lets see where we are in this Niche Site Journal.

Find out what interests them, what other logos do they love, and what hobbies do they enjoy.  This is both to get an idea of what kind of logos they will be interested in and to just build a connection with your client.

2) Determine the Goals of the organization/idea the logo represents

Feel free to ask your client this specific question, but make sure to read
