This morning a friend sent me a message on Facebook to ask me what I was up to today. I told her a breakdown of all the tasks I had planned out: working on my e-book, a few client orders, preparing some send outs for my travel clients, adding some finishing touches to a new product line I'm working on, and a little SEO in my shop. She immediately responds back with, "<i>But it's Saturday</i>?" If you're a creative entrepreneur, a small business owner, run a direct sales company, or just have goals you want to achieve, I know you can relate to me when I say, <b>The Work Doesn't End Because It's The Weekend. </b><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>If you've got goals, you've got to hustle to make them happen. As much as we'd rather be curled up on the sofa watching Gilmore Girls, wondering why we can't have that perfect Rory Gilmore skin, we've got to put in the work to see the rewards. This idea frightens people, it makes them think we are robots who don't know what fun is. That we neglect our families (okay...I'm guilty of sometimes being consumed with work, and feeling like I neglect my family) BUT it's all about balance.<br />
<br />
If you don't balance out your work life, family life, your friends, and your downtime, you will burn out. And this is a place I've been a few too many times, and burn out doesn't feel good. "All work and no play makes Jake a dull boy." Nothing destroys your productivity and hustle like forgetting to give yourself a break and enjoying the important things in your life.<br />
<br />
Balance is different for everyone, but these are some tips that have worked for me, that I hope can work for you! Please download our complimentary workbook below.<br />

<br />
Have you heard about <a href="https://ibotta.com/r/bstwbgj">Ibotta</a>? Ibotta is an app that allows you to earn cash back in stores like Target, Walmart, Whole Foods Market, Winn-Dixie, Rouses, Sam's Club, and many others. As well as with top apps such as Amazon, Apple, Boxed, Jet, and many more. If you're my friend I know you have heard me talk about my "free" Disney Gift Cards. Well now I'm going to share with you how I get these "free" Disney Gift Cards.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Every Sunday I sit down and put together a meal plan and write out all the items I need to purchase at the grocery store. I then pull out my phone and cross reference which of these items I can get cash back with on Ibotta (I also use in store coupons for extra savings) and then I come home, scan the product barcodes, and submit my receipt. In no time I've got cash back!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4R2lSRHuEWRpUUqG5qDSMXvpPrHEzqJSRynZb6pm-tAMuMwlGa6StUYzQ4dkyX4Osp9DuuoYt6-RG9KKs_X9oS4TRKamrsCrvIA5cR6ZE143BfGQgxzC-FU4vCYu2SdUqWasCHas9YWT9/s1600/free+disney+giftcards.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4R2lSRHuEWRpUUqG5qDSMXvpPrHEzqJSRynZb6pm-tAMuMwlGa6StUYzQ4dkyX4Osp9DuuoYt6-RG9KKs_X9oS4TRKamrsCrvIA5cR6ZE143BfGQgxzC-FU4vCYu2SdUqWasCHas9YWT9/s1600/free+disney+giftcards.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Last November I withdrew over $50 from Ibotta to my Paypal account and used that money to buy <a href="https://www.disneygiftcard.com/">Disney Gift Cards</a> I could use during our Walt Disney World vacation. As this is money I otherwise would not have, I call it "free money" which becomes my "free" Disney Gift Cards! (If Disney isn't in your plans, Ibotta will let you cash out directly for Amazon Gift Cards too.) Each trip I usually have over $100 in these "gift cards" between the apps I use just for cash back. It's always nice to get something back and get to put it towards something fun!<br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b><u>Start Saving</u></b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Click <a href="https://ibotta.com/r/bstwbgj">here</a> to join Ibotta and download the app (the app is required to submit a receipt.)</li>
<li>Unlock Rebates: before you go shopping, unlock cash rewards on great products by completing simple tasks.</li>
<li>Go Shopping: Buy the products you've unlocked at any supported store.</li>
<li>Verify Your Purchases: Scan your product barcodes, then submit a photo of your receipt.</li>
<li>Earn Cash Back: Your cash is deposited into your Ibotta account within 48 hours.</li>
<li>You can also save by linking Loyalty Accounts from Preferred Partners as well as Mobile In-App Purchases.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Other apps I use for "free" money: <a href="https://www.checkout51.com/">Checkout51</a>, <a href="http://www.swagbucks.com/p/register?rb=33464306">Swagbucks</a>, and <a href="https://savingscatcher.walmart.com/">Walmart Savings Catcher</a></div>
<div>
Do you have any nifty savings apps you love? I'd love to hear about them!</div>

I've heard it...but it didn't stop me from undervaluing myself or from letting other people undervalue me. As a professional graphic designer it should come as no surprise to anyone, let alone those who hire me, that I charge a fee for my services. Custom design fees are not cheap, but I don't believe my fees are unreasonable, either. But it never fails. A potential client will contact me and say, "I love your work, your style is exactly what I'm looking for. BUT can I get a discount?" These emails would always frustrate me and leave me questioning my prices. Were my prices too high? Was my service not worth the price? Logically I felt like my prices were very accurate to the service I provide. I know any entrepreneur can relate to the rigorous calculations made to come to an end price for our goods and services. So why would someone expect a discount if my services were accurate to what I provide AND they love my work?<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
I later realized it wasn't just frustration I felt from these emails, it was: self doubt. Frustration quickly subsides, but self doubt follows you around, festering under the skin. And that is what those emails did; they followed me around and nagged at me. I would find myself responding back to those emails and offering a discount, all because that self doubt convinced me that I wasn't worth what I was charging and to make the sale I needed to offer a discount.<br />
<br />
The self doubt is then replaced with regret. Regret for underselling my services, regret for not believing in myself, and regret for not telling this potential client that they love my work because I'M WORTH IT! And I think that is a huge problem in the creative industry is that we start to undervalue ourselves because someone else doesn't believe we are worth it. If I don't believe I'm worth it, why would a complete stranger? We have to learn to rise above self doubt and respond to those requests with the reasons why we are worth it.<br />
<br />
It's taken a long time, but I've finally learned to stop giving discounts and to start pointing my clients in another direction. If they can't afford my custom services, I offer a wide range of premade and affordable branding options. If that is not satisfactory, as sad as I am to not be able to work with someone, there is always another designer out there who may charge less. Do you go to Neiman Marcus for a pair of shoes and ask for a discount because you can't afford Manolo Blahnik? No. You go to a store that offers what you can afford. And that's what we need to tell our clients. As sorry as we are that they do not value or time and services, there is always someone who offers a price that is a better fit for their budget. We've got to develop a mindset where we stop apologizing because someone undervalues us, or we will never value ourselves!Ashley Fosterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06897071347929162356noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2527543010579420651.post-27331809645947035042017-03-13T08:53:00.000-07:002017-05-09T15:22:19.257-07:00The Low Down On Hashtags<center>

<br />
I know we've all seen a hashtag and we probably know someone who uses them to label every.single.thing they do. <i>#perfectlife #livinglife #dranksomecoffee #atesomegrapes #pooped #goingtobed</i>. But what the heck does a <b>hashtag</b> really do? Well, preceding a keyword with a hash character, or pound sign, (#) will identify messages on that keyword. So think of it like an archive of similar posts or pictures.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
So how the heck can you use those fancy little hashtags to your advantage? If you're a photographer, you might be tempted to stick to keywords that you associate with your industry: <b>#photographer, #photography, #canon, #nikon</b><br />
Now, are those keywords very popular? <i>YES!</i> Will those keywords get you some likes? <i>Probably!</i> Are those the keywords your clients are going to find you with? <b>Not likely!</b> You know who is using those keywords? Other photographers. Or people looking to attract photographers. As a Graphic Designer, photographers are one of my ideal clients. So #photographer is a keyword I use a lot. But someone who is going to need a photographer in their life is not going to be as likely to find you with that keyword
<br />
<br />
This is where going back to your brand and identifying your ideal client comes into play. Use that knowledge that you curated early on in your business. You know who your clients are: maybe they are new moms, someone recently engaged, someone getting married, high school graduates, etc. You want your keywords to resonate with them. You want to use the keywords they are using to get your snazzy content on their discovery page. Keywords like: <b>#newmom, #senioryear, #engaged, #becomingmrs</b> those are keywords your ideal client is going to be using. Do your homework, see what keywords your competition is using, see what keywords your clients are using, see what keywords someone you'd love to be your client is using. Curate keywords that bring in clients not likes!

<br />
As a Graphic Designer you get asked a lot of the same questions, but I get asked the same question daily, <i>"What is branding?"</i> Branding is defined as the marketing practice of creating a name, symbol, or design that identifies and differentiates a product from other products. Constantly I am asked if "a brand" is "a logo design." Yes and no. Your logo design is a part of your brand, but branding is more than just a logo design. Think of your logo as the symbol that represents your brand.
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>Branding is the whole package.</b> It's your logo, it's your website, it's the business cards you present to someone, it's the way you conduct yourself on social media, it's the images you share with people, it's how you interact. Your brand is what encourages people to listen to you, to stick around, and most importantly it's what someone is going to use to make the decision to work with you.
<br />
<br />
So think of it like the logo is the shirt you wear that makes someone stop to look at you, and then your brand is your heart, soul, and mind that draws someone in and holds their interest. So if your shirt says, "Crunchy Mom" or "Holistic Parenting" who are you most likely to have stop and chat with you about your shirt? Other crunchy/holistic parents. Now if your shirt says "Crunchy Mom" and someone stops to talk with you and you tell them that your kids eat McDonald's 6-nights a week (<i>no judgement moms, parenting is tough!</i>) that crunchy mom who stopped to talk to you likely isn't going to stick around. I promise I have a point to make and it wasn't just to make you want nuggets (and this is in no way sponsored by McDonald's) but the point I'm making is, is that you want your logo and brand to be consistent, and at the very heart of your brand - you have to have the core values and purpose defined.
<br />
<br />
Your brand is so important because it is what is going to determine if someone will become your client or not. Don't get me wrong, there is more to getting customers and loyal client bases than just a good brand (get ready to put in the man hours) but a good brand can make or break your business or enterprise.
<br />
<br />
By the end of this you may be wondering if you should consider re-branding. Maybe your sales or low, maybe you get a lot of views but little conversion, or maybe you're just not sure at all. Don't worry because I have put together a free guide to help you figure out if re-branding may be something to consider.

We live in a time of rushing. Rushing around, rush shipping, we've become so impatient that we won't order something if it's not guaranteed next day. That mindset carries over into everything; Eating out – what's quickest? Traveling – which route gets me there fastest? Branding – will I have this tomorrow? We're in such a rush that we forget the most important part – quality! Sure you might get the gift you ordered on Amazon next day, but is it really on par with a handmade gift you could have purchased from an Artisan on Etsy? We've subjected ourselves to the rush mentality for so long, maybe we've forgotten that <i>quality</i> is important. People respond to quality; they notice it, they appreciate it, quality is what makes your brand stand out.

Did you know the average person spends over $40 a day eating out? That can add up to over $200 in spendings during the work week. Imagine if you ate breakfast at home and brought your lunch with you just one day during the week. That's $40 you could put towards savings. $40 for 52 weeks would add up to $2080. Who wouldn't like to look at their savings at the end of the year and see they had saved over $2000, just by making one small change during the week?<br />

I instantly fell in love with the fragrance of this shampoo! It's a very perfum-y scent, so if you aren't big on scents, this could be a little overpowering, but I love it and my hair smells <i>heavenly</i> all day.<br />

A little background on my hair; my hair is extremely flat, extremely straight, and I have to wash my hair every.single.day to avoid roots that look like a fried chicken factory. I tend to use a lot of dry shampoo, so volumizing products + dry shampoo don't always work well together. So I've always had to battle a trade off of volume or greasy roots. After a week of using these products there is a noticeable increase in volume and texture. I'm usually leary of using conditioner, because it usually speeds up my whole oily root situation, and I find a lot of conditioners can be heavy and counteract volumizing efforts. I've been pleasantly surprised with how light this conditioner is.
<br />
<br />
My only complaint is that the top closures on the bottles are extremely hard to close and break very easily. The conditioner actually arrived with a broken top, which was likely caused during transit, and in a week the shampoo top matched it.
<br />
<br />
Overall these are great products that smell heavenly and are an amazing value!

One of the most frequently asked questions I get is, "How do I use my logo as a brush in photoshop?" It's a pretty simple concept, but it may be confusing for beginners, so I wanted to create a quick tutorial on how to do that, and how to export your new brush/ABR file from Photoshop.
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ashleys365/image1_zpsxfjqwpdp.jpg" />
<br />
<br />
First things first, lets open our logo file. I went ahead and merged the PSD for the logo. (Be sure to the logo format you open has a transparent background; PSD, PDF, PNG, etc.) JPG formats will not work well. You will have a white background on your brush.
<img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ashleys365/image2_zpszufwisvi.jpg" />
<br />
<br />
Now that we have our logo file open, we can create a Photoshop Brush. Edit > Define Brush Preset.
<img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ashleys365/image3_zpsygndedxo.png" />
<br />
<br />
THAT'S IT! Your logo is now a brush. You can find it in your brush presets. Select a foreground color; I went with white. Now you can stamp your logo onto your photos. This will apply a transparent version of your logo over your photo. (You can use whatever color you prefer. White worked best here.)
<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ashleys365/image4_zps6ypgscr2.jpg" />
<br />
<br />
Here's how it looks!
<img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ashleys365/image6_zpsjczgmioa.jpg" />
<br />
<br />
Now to export your ABR file. This will be useful if you want to save it with your logo files to an external hard drive or your Dropbox account.
<br />
<br />
Brush > Brush Presets > Preset Manager > Select Your Logo Brush > Save Set > Save to your desired folder
<img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii9/ashleys365/image7_zpsb6w1hhxl.jpg" />
<br />
<br />
Now you're all set! This method will also work for creating any brushes you may want to share!

Previously I was using a Mary Kay eye makeup remover, which works really well, but I found that it irritated my eyes. I can only use it in the shower so I can immediately flush my eyes afterwards (which isn't a completely pleasant experience.) The <a href="http://us.rimmellondon.com/products/eyes/gentle-eye-make-up-remover-0">Rimmel London Gentle Eye Makeup Remover</a> is far more gentle. I've had zero irritation and it doesn't leave any oily residues like other eye makeup removers. With the Mary Kay eye makeup remover I found that I was using a lot more product and I would still have makeup left on my eyes. I'm not finding nearly as much eye makeup left over after using just a couple of sweeps of the eye makeup remover on a cotton pad. This has quickly become a favorite product of mine!
