Make Your Products POP!
You may make a delicious loaf of artisan bread, or killer macrons, but if the photos of your products are not appetizing people may not buy from you. I can't recall how many times I've viewed some very talented people's baked goods and thought to myself, if only they would buy a background and use a couple apps to really make their pictures pop.

It limited the jobs I could do, since my scheduling ...

If a potential customer comes to you with an idea, or wants something for below what it costs you to make it, then let it go. I will gladly tell customers with budgets below my pricing that ...
