Happy Monday

Today has been a good day so far and it's only 12pm!

I've had a couple of emails requesting quotes for Logos, business cards, facebook welcome pages, gift vouchers and letterheads. I also received a phone call from a mate of someone I did business cards for a few weeks ago wanting a quote for the same!

I'm also in the process of finalising the template for Kylie Grima's Facebook Page for her UndercoverWear business, and waiting to hear back from Minuteman that the bookmarks for Mrs Mills are ready!!

All in all it's been a busy couple of weeks.

BDD was mentioned in Sweet Cheek Crafts' blog this morning with our June Specials, along with some other great work at home businesses:

I've also been working with Renee from Sweet Cheek Crafts & Sweet Cheek Parties to create a party decor range. She showed me a photo of the first two designs that we've started on! They look so good. I can't wait to see the whole range when they're all finished.

On a slightly different note: What a shame about the Socceroos going down 4-0 in the early hours of this morning. I set my alarm for 2.30am, got up and lay on the couch to watch it. I think I dozed off at half time and missed Germany's last two goals and Cahill's red card. I say "BRING BACK TRIMMERS"!!! Haha. Paul Trimboli was my most favourite player when I was growing up. I even met him twice, once in Darwin in 1989 and again in Perth in 1998. I thought he was awesome! I even used to use the #9 shirt when I played because he did!

And watching 60 Minutes or Sunday Night last night I did not recognise Craig Johnston when they did the story on the Socceroos. He did not look like the same superstar that I had dinner with in Darwin in 1989!!

Web Address

I now have an easier web address for my Facebook page. I wish I'd found out how to create one yesterday before putting stickers on the back of my nephews birthday invites that said "find me on Facebook".


www.facebook.com/BerryDigitalDesigns


That is so much easier than the other version http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=174281&id=370797398790#!/BerryDigitalDesigns?ref=ts&ajaxpipe=1&__a=10 don't you think?


You can set up your own by going to here: http://www.facebook.com/username/ 
Then click on 'Set a username for your pages', select your page, and type your desired name. Make sure you decide the name you want to use first though, as once you select it, you can't change it.


Now I can start doing up some flyers (woohoo) without having to wait for my proper web page to be set up, as I have no idea how much longer that it going to take Shane.

Frustrated!!!

How does everyone get their business up and running?

I have a facebook business fan page and have around 215 "fans", or "likers" as they're called these days. But I am yet to get any work from them. I see all the other businesses who I "like" posting to their wall that they're doing this logo design, and that facebook welcome page, and this business card design, and that gift voucher design... etc, etc, etc. Every day they're at least getting 2-3 jobs and I'm sitting there twiddling my thumbs and doing up samples for my portfolio.

I'm even doing random draws (thanks www.random.org) to find winners to give Discount Vouchers to. I'm notifying the winners and asking them to contact me with their details so I can email them the voucher. I've drawn 5 different winners and not one has contacted me yet!! The first draw was just for one winner, but the last 2 I've made two winners. They're given a week to contact me before I do a redraw. I've sent them PMs and also tagged them in my status if they're a FB friend. But still nothing! WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

I know I have only been running this hobby business since December but I would've thought that someone other than family would need my services.

On a more cheerful note I have been given a laptop as my Mother's Day present - 3 days early :D  Now I don't have to be shut up in the study while working. We now just need a wireless router so I don't have to be connected to so many wires at once! And all I need is some work to help pay for the laptop... There I go, getting frustrated again!!!

Long time no write!!!

Well it's been quite a while since I updated my blog. Probably around 3 months!! I could say it's a good thing that I haven't had time to jump on here, that just means business has been busy... or it could also mean that I've been getting too engrossed in my FB games :-D

Business has been good. Pretty much one job a fortnight. I can't complain about that as I'm still trying to get word around. I have to say though, that without family (and you Aunty Pauline) I wouldn't have had 3/4 of the work that I have had.

My cousin who runs a hair salon contacted me last week for business cards and gift vouchers. She thought she'd go through me rather than their usual place. And another cousin last night said that they need more business cards too and should get me to design them some new ones. Like I said, you gotta love family.

I self promoted a couple of weekends ago to a friend of a friend who said they hadn't done thank you cards for their wedding yet. In the end I got the pleasure of designing the cards for them, and they required 90 of them!

I don't think I have much else to write apart from I hope everyone had a safe and happy Easter, and check out my facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Perth-Australia/Berry-Digital-Designs/349895420441?ref=ts
