April 5, 2011
Hi from Kevin at FreePrintable.net, where a busy printer is a happy printer.

Last week, I returned from a much-needed family vacation. There were no crises while we were away, other than one of our cats getting locked in the linen closet for two days, but I think he's at least partially to blame. As my wife puts it, "It wasn't his first time, and he can meow." That's probably the most exciting thing to happen since our return - well, other than Thursday's epic "forget-you-put-a-can-of-soda-in-the-freezer-till-it-explodes" incident. Yes, it's a wild life here at FreePrintable.net World Headquarters. I'm full of printables-making energy and have a new site ready for you: www.BusinessPlanTemplate.net, with sample business plans, plan-writing advice, and financial forms to go along with the plans. And they're all free! Also, www.RocketCalendar.com now has lunar calendars.



» Business Plan Templates
My business happened kind of gradually (I was a freelance technology journalist when I began dabbling in web publishing) so I never really had a "business plan" per se - other than to have fun, help people, and make some money. But I've always believed that having a well-thought-out, written business plan gives small businesses a giant head start. Besides the value of getting all the expenses and goals down on paper, a business plan can help rally investors or secure bank or SBA loans.

My latest new website, www.BusinessPlanTemplate.net, has launched with more than a dozen printable, pre-formatted business plans that serve to jump-start the business form writing process. There are articles about the types of business plans, parts of a business plan, and plan-writing tips. The business plan templates range from the newly popular "One Page Business Plan" format to elaborate plans for specific ventures such as coffee shops, day care businesses, and other stores and services. The forms include a balance sheet, break even analysis, projected income statement, and more.

Most of the plans and form templates aren't intended to be used exactly as-is: They're a framework to prompt and frame your own original ideas for your business. Just download a template in DOC form, open it in Microsoft Word or a similar compatible program, and type right into the document, altering the wording to suit your situation.

I have another new website just for business owners that I'm unveiling next week. I'll tell you all about it in the April 12 newsletter.



» Lunar Calendars

Almost from the day I launched my first calendar website, users have written in requesting lunar calendars. It's taken me awhile to get formatting the way I envisioned, but I'm excited to announce that lunar calendars have now been added to www.RocketCalendar.com.

There are currently lunar calendars for all of 2010 and 2011. View, download and print the calendars one at a time, in PDF format, for free. The calendars show the phases of the moon in bold black and white, and also note the dates of the New Moon and the Full Moon.

Lunar calendars are based on a solar or lunisolar year and can be used for religious purposes, or by anyone who is interested in the changing moon.

And if you haven't looked at RocketCalendar.com for a while, it also has regular (Gregorian) calendars from 1900-2099. Those, too, are all free to download and print.


Remember, I have another new site for business owners coming next week. And of course I'm continuing to add more printables for kids, home and more. Please email me your ideas. Happy printing!

  » Kudos

Sometimes, the emails I get from FreePrintable.net users are just plain heartwarming, like this one from Granny Dee.: "Kevin, I am so glad to have your printables site. I am housebound and a dear friend lost her son. Since I couldn't go buy a card, I simply printed your angel stationery and used your letter of sympathy -- put a stamp on it and got it in the mail right away. Keep up the good work."
