I started doing postcards for my local shluchim a while ago. I never took any graphic design courses I am self taught. I never advertised myself to anyone. I liked it because it was a bit of extra money I could make from home (besides for loving doing graphic design). Two weeks ago I was offered a 9-1 office job. I havent been out to work since my son was born almost 5 years ago. I have been doing a couple of small things from home, Ebay, photography and this graphic work for my shluchim. When I was offered the job I started thinking... why would I want to leave my almost 5 month old with a babysitter when I have some things I can do from home that Im not realy taking advantage of.
So I decided I have to finaly get myself out there. My first step was to make a website and Ive emailed a couple of places for advertising rates but dont want to do anything until I finish up the website. Im so nervous though I realy want to target the Shluchim market but Im not a saleslady and am so nervous about this. Usualy people come to me. I am going to take a deep breathe and do it though. Can I get some feedback from you guys about my website and and sudgestions I would realy appreciate it. Also does anyone think my work is too amatuerish? Im always wondering about that

Oh Shluchim, like chabad houses. I would also do for otehr organizations. I would also like to go out and have some adult social interaction but I realy dont want that to come with a boss, and a $10 an hour salary. My husband dissagrees with me, he thinks that having something steady is worth something, but I make a lot more per hour when I do this. Lol when I was offered the job I told them that I make $x dollars an hour doing this and my dh is like yeah thats once a month so obviously I gotta be doing more work butI would rather make the money at home and get out of the house and be social in other ways.

I make a lot more than that with the design stuff. So I would have to work many less hours for the same money which is such a big plus for a SAHM. At this age my baby is so totable that I can take her everywhere with me and my neighbor is so nice to take her for a couple of hours if I want to go out once in a while. Also the babysitting is more of a problem when going to work everyday. I dont want to leave her, and it eats right into your salary.

Well thats the whole point Ive been doing this for one Chabad House and havent been advertising myself at all, I think that I should do that because I should be able to get a few more monthly customers - I think.

Why dont you just search through the piano section, and look for things closest to your zip code, most things will be pick up only. Also ccheck out your local craigslist.

I hope I'm not discouraging you or anything but there are two other businesses doing the exact same thing. I always skip the flash. I'm into tachlis. Shluchim don't have the time to mess with long flash intros so I don't think they'd be that excited either but then again I'm not a shlucha.
btw for full disclosure a relative of mine runs one of the businesses so I am a bit biased. Your stuff looks good but there's no info on pricing. I'd try to work with the other people if you're just getting started. Unless you try to market yourself with more than just Chabad. Otherwise with 2 other competitors the market is saturated already and I'm not saying that because of my connections.
Hatzlacha Raba with whatever you do! PM me if you'd like me to introduce you to my relative.
