Yes, put a phone number or don't bother with the cards.

Yes, put only 1 website on the card, the other one should
be on your website for them to click on.

Yes, don't create cards in MS Publisher or MS Word or do them yourself.

Staples can do plain black/white cards 1000 for $25. or so. They're much better than using clip art on cards and they
look professional.

I also use the resources at http://www.TheResourceQueen.com look under graphics. Lots of good resources, from free to low cost - for business cards, logo's etc.

If you use vista print, don't get a picture on it. Most of us know those pictures already and know it's really not your logo. Also pay for the cards, don't order the free ones. Otherwise the back of the card markets vista print and your card doesn't portray "professional".

Only use a domain email address on your card -- no hotmail, netzero, yahoo or aol accounts on it.

I buy card holders at Office Depot or Staples for 99c each.

I put my home phone on my cards for a few years. However, that phone always had a voice message that sounded like they'd reached a business phone.

You don't need a cell phone. Can you get another phone number at home? You can do so w/o getting another phone. I forget what it's called, but you get a phone number that hunts to your home phone. Has a different ring. Last I checked a few years ago it was $15 a month.

And you can get an 800# that hunts/forwards to your home phone too.

Lots of options
