Copyright for Collage Artists What's new at "Copyright for Collage Artists": Added items to the myths page about parody and the poor man's copyright. Added a couple of links to the links page. If, like me, you are a collage artist, then copyright is probably a matter of great concern to you. Though I am not a lawyer, I have done a fair amount of research into copyright law as it applies to collage in the past few years.

Growing Your Design Business So you’ve launched your own creative business, and you’re starting to grow. That’s great! But good growth won’t just happen. Just like a junior designer starts with small projects and slowly builds her skills, a new business needs time to mature, test new ideas, and prepare itself, too. How did you gain the design chops that got you where you are today? With study, practice, and testing, I imagine. If you want to grow in a sustainable, satisfying way, then you need to pay attention to how you’re growing, not just how much. The wrong clients#section1 As a business owner, you might assume you should serve everyone you can. The more bad clients you try to serve, the less time you have to look for good clients. But what makes a good client? They understand your value and let you remain in control of the design process as the professional.They are enjoyable to work with. Whether your clients are good or bad, you can bet that they will send you more clients just like themselves.
I Bought an Apartment Just to Rent Out on Airbnb I bought an apartment in 2012 specifically to rent out on Airbnb. I’ve been managing it remotely for the past year. Here's everything I've learned so far, as well as some revenue numbers. Finding a Place to Buy Each listing on Airbnb has a publicly visible calendar that shows which nights are booked and which nights are available. Simply find a listing located in an area where you’re thinking about buying and click on the calendar tab. Red = Booked. There are a lot of places in the United States where housing prices are still very cheap. I found a place in Las Vegas for $40,000. This is what the apartment looked like when Wheatley purchased it. I spent roughly $10,000 to update the apartment, including all furniture, an Apple TV, new hardwood flooring and fresh paint in all the rooms. Shortly before installing the hardwood flooring. Unfortunately, there’s no IKEA in Las Vegas, so I spent a lot of time just waiting for stuff I ordered online to be delivered. Getting It Going By the Numbers

25 music crowdfunding mistakes that'll make you look selfish DIY Musician Blog [This article was written by guest contributor Ian Anderson of the Launch and Release Blog.] Asking for money sucks. Maybe you fear rejection or maybe you worry that you’ll look desperate, greedy, incompetent or rude. It’s a lot like being a middle schooler trying to hold hands or put an arm around your date while at the movies. Asking for money often raises internal doubts like: * Will I seem greedy? * Will it negatively affect our relationship? * Do they trust me? * Will they understand why or buy into my vision? * Will I look like an a—hole? These are legitimate questions and they can arise in a variety of circumstances in life.But when you are going to run a music crowdfunding project, you cannot afford to have these questions dogging you because self doubt and fear will betray your efforts in some subtle and many not-so-subtle ways. Thus, it is CRUCIAL that you are WELL PREPARED to ask for money for your crowdfunding project. How to get what you want crib sheet * Say Thank You Ask. Period. Why?

Stocks Basics: Introduction Turn on the TV news or open a newspaper, surf the internet or listen to the radio, and you will probably come across some information about the stock market: “The Dow Jones closed at record highs”; “The S&P 500 is trading down two-tenths of one percent”; “The stock market is reacting to news from Washington.” The stock market seems to be everywhere in our daily lives, but what exactly is the stock market? And, what are stocks that are bought and sold on this market? What does it mean for you, for your employer, or for your country’s economy when the stock market had “a good day”? The answers to these questions are not always obvious once we begin to think about what stocks are. In this tutorial, we will answer these questions and more, often going into some depth to explain core concepts. Before proceeding, however, it is important to distinguish between two common uses of the stock market: investing and speculation. Speculation, on the other hand, is akin to gambling.
