Hey friends 👋🏻 It’s Tuesday - what better

Hey friends 👋🏻

It’s Tuesday - what better day to come back with a REINTRODUCTION!

So, Hey instagram friends, it’s been awhile. You may have missed it (because I never mentioned it before) but I’ve been off the last few months while welcoming my second child - a little girl - into our family.

She’s just about four months old now, and I’m finally starting to feel like the ground is back beneath my feet and I can get back into growing my business instead of just struggling to find the energy to even maintain the level I’m at.

SO, in honour of trying to get back into the swing of things - I’m here to reintroduce myself and shave five fun facts you may or may not know about me.

1️⃣ I’m (freshly) 30 years old, which is a big mental adjustment for me. Truly, I feel like I’ve been well into my 80s for many years now mentally and don’t feel like the “typical” 30 year old. But for some reason, hitting 30 was a big, scary thing in my mind for many years. The truth? It hasn’t been so bad.

2️⃣ I absolutely love coffee - but I can only have one cup per day. If I have a second, it makes me SO sleepy. Hit me up if you have a great decaf coffee bean suggestion.

3️⃣ My husband and I eloped in Las Vegas… at Taco Bell. Was my honest-to-god dream wedding, and every day I am more and more thankful that we eloped. One of the best decisions of my life.

4️⃣ My kids are my entire world, and I have been building my business for years before they even existed in anticipation of staying home with them while working from home. It is so tough some days to feel like I can get any time to get work done, but I am also so grateful for my business that allows me to stay home with them (and I am SO passionate about starting a journey to helping other moms do the same - stay tuned for more about that)

5️⃣ I am a huge book nerd and an even bigger book-buying enthusiast. It’s a hobby in itself, y’know? My goal for this year is to read 30 books (and I’m already 3 ahead of schedule).

I’d love for you to leave me a comment below with a fun fact about yourself ⬇️

❗️5 Signs You Need a Website for your Service-Based Business❗️

1️⃣ You’re copying and pasting the same message to potential clients about your services
Yup. You could save yourself A LOT of time if you just had that message on an easily-accessible website.

2️⃣ Potential clients are constantly asking for a link to your website - that doesn’t exist
Let’s be real, it can make you look a little unprofessional. Especially if you’re a designer (I’ve been there 😬)

3️⃣ You’re tired of only posting on social media and being held back by their algorithms
You don’t control your social media audience - but you are in control of your website.

4️⃣ You want to reach more customers in your target audience
Goes hand in hand with #3, since you’re currently scrolling reels instead of hitting your target audience. (Same girl, SAME)

5️⃣ You’re relying on word of mouth to grow your client base
It’s great… for a short time. But imagine how thriving your business could be if you had dream clients REACHING OUT TO YOU, because they found your website?

As I experimented with Canva’s new AI tools today, I found the answer to a question I’ve heard others - including myself - ask.

Will AI ever replace graphic designers?

Watch above to see what I think.

HEY DESIGNERS!

Did you know that you can easily recolour your artwork in Illustrator- without having to change it swatch by swatch 🎉

It’s not always a perfect color match, but you can also drag the color wheel around to get it just right OR add multiple swatches to change a multicoloured design.

Have you used the recolour tool?

Design an art print with me 💕

Did you know I run a digital art print shop, @southboundmarket ?

I create art prints (which is honestly Super fun and relaxing for me to do), put them up on my website/Erst store, and make $$$ on repeat when someone buys them.

Leave a note in the comments if you want to learn more about starting a passive income stream as a graphic designer 🎉🎉

Just a little bit of fun this Thursday morning! Ho

Have you been putting off starting your passive in

Have you been putting off starting your passive income stream because you don't think there's any digital products in your niche?

THAT'S A MYTH.

I have a friend who is a nutritionist, and she has a monthly membership with exclusive recipes, meal plans, and more.

There are yoga teachers selling online courses.

There IS a product for you to sell passively in your niche.

Don't believe me? Drop your niche in the comments below and I'll reply with a digital product you can sell.

#digitalproduct #passiveincome #niche #graphicdesigner #branddesign

Have you ever heard someone say you need to create

Have you ever heard someone say you need to create multiple products to create a passive income stream?

If so... I think somebody LIED to you.

When I was first getting started with passive income, I was OVERWHELMED with the options out there. Print on demand. Digital products. Real estate. Affiliate marketing. Should I do a mix of them all? What niche? Which products?

Do you want to know what someone (wisely) told me?

STOP.

Take a breath.

Pick one. And just. Start.

All you need is ONE product to create a passive income stream. That's it.

Maybe it's ONE trendy, best selling t-shirt that you print on demand.

Maybe it's ONE e-book or course, selling on autopilot.

The options are endless, I promise you. But it only takes ONE product to get started. Launch one, and go from there.

There are A LOT of myths out there about passive i

There are A LOT of myths out there about passive income - and they are *so* unhelpful to people just stating out.

Let’s unpack this myth, shall we?

Yes, there are *a lot* of digital products out there. But there is ALWAYS room for more.

Do car manufacturers stop making new cars because "there are so many other cars available today"?

NO.

They come up with new ideas, put their own unique spin on an SUV, and they put their product out in the world.

Passive income is NO different. You want to sell Canva templates but are worried there's too many out there? There are MILLIONS of Canva users - I can almost guarantee there is someone out there looking for new canva templates to use.

For me? I'm starting a blog - because I have a very specific home decor style in mind for what I want to do, and I can't find *anything* online that suits what I want to do. If I'm looking for it, there must be SOMEONE ELSE out there who is too. In fact, I'm in a Facebook group where I have seen people looking for this exact thing - so I'm going to make it myself.

You CAN fit into whatever passive income niche you want. There's room for you at this table, always.
