I am always looking for ways to reduce file sizes on images, for the same reason. I'll give it a try. Thanks so much! I am always looking for ways to reduce file sizes on images, for the same reason.

]]> Comment on How To Barter & Trade Services Without Being Cheated by DesignBuddy http://designbuddy.com/how-to-barter-trade-services-without-being-cheated/comment-page-1#comment-208 DesignBuddy Mon, 30 Apr 2012 02:44:09 +0000 http://designbuddy.com/?p=1711#comment-208 Hey Tammy, thanks for the comment. Just a suggestion...but what I like to do when work is slow, is to post an ad in craigslist's "barter" section, mentioning that I'm interested in trading my graphic design services for other services or items. I make sure to list the services or items I'm willing to trade for. That is how I was able to acquire a very nice 55 gallon fish tank. I traded a brochure design for the tank.

I like the idea of using a collateral down payment, just in case you never wind up getting that guitar. I might try that approach the next time someone wants to barter.

Thanks for checking out my blog babe...and yeah I agree...if we ever have a daughter, she has to wait until she's 18 before shes allowed to play around with pole dancing lol. Just another reason why it's probably so much easier having a son. If anyone is reading this and wondering why Jess says “when we have kids”…it’s because she is my lovely girlfriend / fiance.

When we have kids, they definitely aren't going to be playing with "pole dancing kits"...not at 10 years old, like the manufacturers intended.

Yeah, fortunately most people have no issue with paying an up front retainer. I've found that things like testimonials, a professional website, proper communication, and quality work all help establish the trust needed for people to invest their money up front.

It's easier for a mechanic to not require a down payment because they won't release your car until you pay them...or a property maintenance company because if you don't pay they can put a lean on your property. Because of the unfortunate reality that there are dishonest people, clients need to understand that some small business owners simply have no choice but to get money up front. Thanks for the read.
