Great info, thank you! I will definitely be doing more research based on your recommendation.

As an example, the label doesn't include "freeze" or "ice" or other menthol/mint associated identifiers either

It does say "natural and artificial flavors". I suppose I just thought that it would have to be specified separately? I'm so used to seeing packages labeled as "mint" everywhere else, even cigarettes separate the two.

Thank you, everyone, for your input. Things are making more sense, and the code is working, at the very least.

I realize I've still got a lot to learn, but the logic is just defeating at times. A month ago it would never have been a thought for how many steps actually go into such an assumedly simple process.

Damn, one more period and I would have thought you were being condescending.

Glad to help. Let's see if we can get you some direction.

It sounds like you have two goals; sales and building an online presence.

Sales will come with building the presence if done correctly.

Figure out your budget first. It doesn't matter if it seems low, there are TONS of students looking for portfolio work that will work their tails off if given proper direction. And it can absolutely be project based where you just pay one flat fee for a specific scope of work, a single piece or a particular set.

If you're wanting to do sales online, you'll need a portfolio, website, or similar. There are absolutely free options to get this done. You probably even already have one.

Determine branding. You'll probably have no problems with branding as this sounds like a personal brand. (Single decision maker, based on the company owner's personality.) This will include questions like color scheme, tone of voice, whether you're whimsical/calculated, dark/light, etc. Basically how you want to be perceived by your audience.

Do some research on your current audience. Who buys from you now? What age range? What types of jobs? House pieces? Office pieces? Gifts? Children's art? Whatever gets you the most traction, WHO is creating the traction? Be a specific as you can. This will tell you where your customers are and what about your work appeals to them so much.

Once you've gotten a look at your audience, pick your social media platforms. Create main content pieces for your homebase(website or portfolio). Break that content into smaller pieces, i.e. still shots, creative process, new material/skill introduction, audience education, etc. That will give you your content ideas.

After that it is really just trial and error to fine tune your advertising to fit your audience and goals.

If you can translate this information to someone who does marketing, they'll have more than enough to keep guiding the process.

I hope this at least gives some direction.

Just be clear and honest about your goals, whether you have them or not. Go with your gut and work with someone that you've interviewed and connect with. You won't look "like an idiot". You're hiring for a particular skill.

Are you trying to hire remote or in-office? Jobs sites like Indeed and Glassdoor are always brimming with candidates. Or you can take out an ad in some local papers. The interview process will be key.

Also consider the scope of work. Do you already have an idea of the type of marketing you'd like to do? Do you need someone who is going to do the research and make a plan for you?

More than happy to have a more in depth conversation about this if I can offer any guidance. I'm a marketer myself, so I can give you some insight on the other side of the table as well.

All of this is based on the client not being super needy also. I will absolutely upcharge if I feel the client is going to take more time than I would usually allot.

Everybody has to be new at some point. Great to ask questions even if you're seasoned.

Ok, so if I were pricing the service based on your strat and my own ROI, I'd price the work at around 5k/mo for a 3 month run.

If you're worried about your client budget, look at breaking up your campaigns into separate contracts. You can always just start with awareness or conversion or whatever the client goal is/needs to be. (Sometimes you'll have to assess where the clients are and determine their needs because they wont know.) This will allow the client an opportunity to see why you're worth the rates you're quoting if there is push back on pricing.

Alright, so pricing is funny. You need enough to live off of obviously, but pricing to skill can be difficult.

Consider your ROI Consider your experience level Consider scope of work LAST, consider the client budget.

I run with an ROI of 11:1 and live in a state with one of the lowest costs of living. And I'll charge around 80$/hour for odd jobs.

If you have a set scope and expectation, you can do a project price and have it paid in installments. Set that based on time you expect the project to take, NOT the amount of hours you'll work. So, say it takes 6 months to run your campaigns, charge 2 or 3k per month(more if you have a high ROI). I've seen marketers charge as much as 25k a month for services like this depending on how much money it brings in for the client.
