So lately I've been debating, since this past summer, whether I should start promoting my beta/pilot offer (The Brand Bud Project), which would basically be a free brand service just to get some experience in exchange for getting feedback and testimonials (that’s the gist of it at least), or would I be better off looking for paid freelance work on sites like Contra or Upwork. Given that I've yet to be hired full time or gain any actual work experience after graduating college three years ago, especially given the volatile market and unpredictable job climate (no matter how many positions I’ve applied for and not even hearing back from over half of them). Not to mention I'm just tired of being broke and stuck at a part-time job that barely pays me enough to afford the bare essentials by myself without relying on my parents financially. Sorry if it sounds like I’m complaining like a bitch, but I don’t really know what else to do at this point. What do y'all think? Feel free to visit my attached Notion page for the offer I mentioned above for more details: https://frequent-pyroraptor-ac2.notion.site/The-Brand-Bud-Project-Portfolio-Pilot-Sales-Page-3a8136a46bb0810c8f75c0edeeda0275

It's September and what I consider the beginning of fall!!! (my absolute favourite time of the year) 😄 I've gone round and round about all these things I could post (overthinking anyone?! 😅) But really I just want to know... how are you doing? How's things going with your creative business (and if you haven't started yet, I'd love to know about that too) Any challenges you're having? Basically, how's it going? x P.S. You can post anything from a gif, a short answer, to all the things. However you share best.

How are you feeling about how things are going with your creative business? (It's okay if you haven't started one yet. I want to hear how you're feeling about that too.) Reply using a GIF or emoji ✨ Bonus: If you want to, explain your gif/emoji x

I hate introduce yourself posts. Seriously, I'd rather go to the dentist. 😅 Soooo, I don't want to inflict that on you. BUT I really want you to be able to connect and say hi! So here's what we're doing... You can literally just comment 'hi' below. Or share a favourite emoji or gif (or both!) Or share a favourite quote Or a movie/tv show/book you love Or share more about yourself if you want (links allowed on this post). No worries if you don't want to comment at all. Or just want to comment on other people saying hi. Connect however or whenever YOU feel comfortable. 🤗 Hi!! So glad you're here x
