I love this. I'm a very non-competitive, sharer. I'm happy to be working on my own but I love helping others succeed. I find we aren't as easy a type to come by and I'm so glad to have found you!

weyyy it’s so good to meet you :) I was just talking the other day about the reason i never really got into screen printing was that there was always a queue to get to the printing stuff and I didn’t want to compete/wait 😆❤️

I can't subscribe! Ugh! It keeps telling me there is something wrong with Stripe? But I am not using Stripe. Can someone help me?

Ahh sorry you’re having difficulty! If trying on another browser/device (eg. switching to trying on your computer instead of phone, or vice versa) doesn’t work, then Substack support is super helpful :) On desktop there’s a little chat box in the bottom right. Good luck! xx

Can I just ask a quick Q - when you post the jobs how long do we have to respond before you send over the details. Thanks

Katie Chappell's avatar

Also, I don’t send over the details :) it’s up to the client to contact you if they want to discuss further 🥰

Oh so the Google form we fill in goes straight to the client? I thought in your video it said something about you put them all on a form and send over but maybe you meant the Google form. Sorry - I just figured if they’d already hired for a job from last week it might be too late to send or if there was a rough guide of how long was too long after the job was posted. Thanks

I am overthinking this I think 😂😂🙃

The client is presented with a spreadsheet that shows everyone’s applications/portfolio/contact info etc, and then they get in touch with whoever they like :)

Applying early boosts yer chances because the client is more likely to see your application. I hope that makes sense! x

i’m over explaining this but the client gets the link when we post the job, so it’s up to them how often then go back to look at the spreadsheet. I don’t wait a set amount of time to go “tadaaaa” it’s more like - “right, i’ve posted it so keep looking at this spreadsheet to see who’s applied”

claire jones's avatar

Thanks that makes sense! So if they haven’t hired or found a fit they can go back and check submissions? By George I think I’ve got it! 😂

Oh wow! Fits like a glove. How about help with putting together the portfolio side of things for live illustration? 😁 you’ve obviously found the right way of putting it together … and I’m convinced mine is terribly put together!
