To my teenage entrepreneurial readers...
Are you looking to make some extra cash this month? I recommend the following business model:

Go door to door around your neighborhood and offer Halloween Insurance for $20. This covers cleanup for pumpkin smashing, egg throwing, and teepeeing, etc. If a neighbor declines, add them to the list of pumpkins to smash, and rest assured that they'll pay up next year.

Sure fire way to make $$$$$!

You're welcome,
Zach Klein

Like soda and pop, the spelling of toilet papering varies by region.

Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old.

I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook.

I live in Brooklyn now.
