Incentives

Greetings.
Children are definitely give us the incentive to prosper in our careers. Owning my own design business, it is rewarding to be at home with my 3 year old and set the pace needed for her. At times, it can be frustrating trying to work and then having your child want to play, talk, make distracting noises and such. But all in all the children are our motivation and encourage us in their unique ways.
As of lately, I have been active in finding more free advertising such as free banners, backlinks, Google Adsense to name a few. Some are very basic with their free service but in the long run it will be worth it. I do get confused when signing up for these programs when they want you to pick your catagory of service. Graphic design falls into many realms of services. We can do design for anyone or any industry of any size. It get complicated when breaking down the catagories into SUB catagories. From there, I make a habit of reviewing my current submissions for the free services. With the old email correspondences, I click on them to see if anything has changed that would be of greater service to me. Some of the basic paying features are good but not to much more extent than the free one. Without anyone else to help out, the owner deals with everything and hopefully finds time to actually do some designing rather than financing, marketing, troubleshooting, technical issues and so on.
