We don't usually do this but I recently wrote a guest blog post for Inspired Mag on how to launch a successful start up with no budget.

I speak about some of our experiences and give you tips on Social Media marketing, I suggest you check it out ;)

Here is a link to the article:

How To: Successfully launch a start up with Social Media and No Budget

We'd love to hear your thoughts.

It was 10 days ago that we announced a little secret was brewing at Obox Design. At the time we only had half an idea of what we wanted to do, but as we progressed further it became clear as to what we needed to create and what was missing in the theme Market.

These days it's not just good enough to have blog, or a twitter account, or a Tumblr account, or a Posterous account.

You need all of them, and that's where we step in.

When you knock on our door and ask, 'Trick or Treat?' there can obviously be no trick... only treats!

For the next three days we will be running an incredible 3-for-1 theme special at Obox Design!

In a nutshell: You are going to have to wait till the 2nd of November.

What I can tell you is that it started with our own CMS called OCMX Live (which we have successfully ported to Wordpress) and culminated in our Wordpress theme company.

We never like standing still for too long at Obox and we love to set challenges and deadlines which are hard to achieve.
