Where Can I Find Free Images for My Blog?
Images are so important for your blog (and social media, for that matter). You can use images to help break up copy, illustrate your content, and keep readers engaged.
But, creating images can be hard—especially if you want a professional look on your blog.
Most of the time, an iPhone photo or screenshot is just not going to cut it. Hiring a photographer can be really expensive. And purchasing images from stock image sites will add up quickly too.

If you enjoy art, then a career in fine art, painting, illustration, graphic design, web design, sculpture, animation, and photography are just a few of the careers you could pursue.

How to Handle Common Objections from Clients
The fastest way to lose clients is to ignore or sidestep objections they raise. As a design professional, handling client concerns will make or break your business. You might be incredibly talented, but if you can’t work well with clients, you will not make it as a freelancer or in a small agency.
Some professionals choose to work in a bigger firm where they never have to deal directly with the client (or at least, not without the support of the project managers), so there are options if you really don’t like dealing with the clients’ concerns. But for the most part, you should learn how to address common objections as a professional designer.

The Game Plan for Selling Web Design to Clients
If you are a web developer, then you are already bringing in clients for shiny new websites. But many professionals don’t like to sell themselves, and it can be difficult to upsell the skillsets you already have. Freelancers must understand that each skill and piece of effort is a separate service. As you create the website, you are acting as a website developer. If you happened to have additional skills (like web design), then selling them as a secondary service is a great way to make additional revenue.
But it doesn’t have to sound like a pitch.
