Great content! I especially love the point about depending on fellow creatives while starting your business. One struggle I’m facing is finding time for social media/self promotion while creating the product! Time management of so many factors is a mega balancing act.

[@jollyedition]

Ooph, that's a seriously good question. The constant struggle! I'd be happy to make a video about the great apps out there that organize your photos/videos with great editing, scheduling that'll push content to the biggest platforms (ig, fb, twitter). Super helpful stuff.

Love it !! Lots of great information. A question for @jollyedition - What is your take on charging hourly versus on project basis

[@jollyedition]

Ahhh, Davé - that's a great question! I'd love to do a deep dive on hourly v. 'packages' - Note to self. As a first thought, I'd suggest to creatives who are just starting out, that they start with hourly pricing because there may be too many unknown variables to charge by project. When just starting their business, there's the danger that the creative could get trapped in an arrangement they aren't prepared for by agreeing to a package deal, or that their client could be dissatisfied because expectations were misaligned. 🤗
