blegh designer by trade, I just make silly things and sometimes people pay me for it which beats working outside :)
Your field would drive me insane since I would have to deal with the people , I prefer take it and go. SEO, marketing etc is a tedious affair. The site I am speaking of does not really need that she has people across SA doing things then they go vote for the stupid kids and she makes about 200grand profit just from people voting on trash , it is basically a woocommerce site being used as a voting system which I hoped she would take and go but she can't even log in to change a picture no matter how much I beg her to haha. Also refuses to move away from VOX which is pathetic too say the least. but anyhow.
Icon set in powerpoint is impressive you are now an honorary designer of the highest why the fuck would you do that order. :)
mmm, I can't imagine what I would blog about design , unless the post is called shit or not so shit and we are reviewing my own work.
I dabble , that is my skillset, I get bored then I move on and return after a vacation. Haha I started to learn design so that I don't have to do print finishing that is soooooooo boring but then I played with SEO and went back to cutting paper instead :)
..... edit because I remembered you say they give you money, I guess I have started to realise I need to get paid properly for some things I do for them but I would still rather do most of it for people I can tolerate vs idiots who think I owe them something, that is why I eat noodles and not ice cream. ice cream is expensive haha :)
Make silly things and get paid for it!! You are legit living the dream!!
Sometimes I do feel like working outside would be much more easier and stress-free than SEO!! I could plough the fields and sell potatoes and not deal with people who can't internet but really want to and then also like to argue with you as to how the best way to the internet is! Maybe these people should rather just stick to planting potatoes!!
It sounds like this client has it going on and you got yourself an A grade special customer!! I have my fair share of those!! I love helping you make money, but I also like how you don't know what an H1 tag or even know how to login to your site, but can worry about a typo that 2 potential people will see!
LOl i really don't get these people, it's not that hards to learn, I'm basically self-taught! Changing a picture is not that hard!
I guess its why we will always have jobs!
hahaha - no sweat reblogging. But we get quite a bot of traffic to our site might give you some exposure! The link is in my bio if you ever interested and change your mind!
And 100% agree re tolerance!! its why I went off freelancing as opposed to working for a dumbass and have to deal with there crap all day. Now we can choose who to tolerate. And i can work in my Pjs and call you a poephol if i like!! sometimes you gotta splurge on the ice cream, even its the cheap kind!
P.S.: Behold my icon set, lol:
