How to Pay with PayPal Without an Account. I use PayPal a great deal. It’s an easy and convenient way to invoice clients; it is also a great way to pay for my supplies and software needed to complete design projects. Payments received via credit cards or a PayPal account is available instantly, which has significantly increased my turn around time. I am no longer waiting 2 or 3 days for a merchant account to send funds to my bank. The money arrives in my PayPal account as soon as a client sends payment. As awesome as PayPal is, I still have a few clients tell me they have trouble using it. PayPal does allow you the option of paying without a PayPal account. In the screen below you can see the link: “Pay with a debit or credit card or bill me later”.

After clicking this link you will be taken to a page that will allow you to enter all your information along with your credit or debit card information. When you complete the form, simply click “Pay” and you are done. I hope this helps. © 2013, AriesGDIM / Tami Highbaugh-Abdullah. All About #SMM / Social Media Monitoring Tools. Now that you have set up your profiles on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn (and other places) you need to monitor them. Sure, you could log into all of them and check them individually but why do that? I mean really, who has time to be checking several different pages for social media engagement?

You don’t if you are busy running your business. If you are serious about marketing via social media platforms it is time to look into some Social Media Monitoring tools. I know, I know, you aren’t sure if it will be worth your time to even learn a new tool or platform. Flowtown – Social Media Marketing Application © 2011, AriesGDIM / Tami Highbaugh-Abdullah.

Today I received a call from a potential client asking me to give him a quote for a CD cover. When I told him we should schedule a time to discuss the full scope of expectations for his CD cover he asked me if I just had flat rates for design…. when I said…. No the caller seemed surprised so I explained why I give design quotes instead using flat fees.

Why your graphic designer should give you an estimate for your design instead of a flat fee When a potential client calls asking for a design I ask them what their design vision is… sometimes I have them sketch out their design or send me example images that convey the feeling or message they want to communicate to their users. We normally discuss the importance of color psychology, I explain the level of difficulty or ease of the design and then give them an estimate based on the time I think it would take to create their vision.

Worried about failure? Of course you are—everyone is. But fear no more, for science is here to help.

According to new research appearing in the journal Science, writing about fears of performance anxiety directly before performing can significantly reduce failure due to that anxiety. To arrive at this conclusion, researchers gave 20 students an exam, saying they'd get money for good scores. Half the students were then given several minutes to write down their worries about the test while the other half sat quietly. In other words, your therapist was right: It's good to let out your fears. photo (cc) via Flickr user matsuyuki.

Five Ways To Improve Online Influence Measures. Regular readers of my posts here and at BrandSavant know that I have, on occasion, raised questions about various measures of online influence. No, they are not perfect, and in some cases are downright meaningless. Lately, though, I’ve been hearing that still, small voice in my head: “Don’t bring me problems, Webster – bring me solutions.” There are some positive aspects of these measures (Klout’s focus on topics of influence comes to mind), and while the easiest stance to take would simply be to dismiss these measures out of hand, I think it’s more productive to (in the words of former President Bill Clinton) “mend it, don’t end it.” With that in mind, here are five ideas, ranging from minor tweaks to major overhauls, for improving online influence measurement. 1.

Some of my issues with online influence measures are largely due to semantics. 2. This (along with #3, below) would begin to address what I call the “Seth Godin” problem. 3. 4. A. 5. Tax Law Changes Delaying Refunds, Will You Be Affected? Seems as though every year there is some tax law change that can delay our tax refunds. This year is no different… only this year the delay will affect anyone who: • Files a Schedule A (itemized deductions) • Teachers taking the classroom expense deduction • Parents taking the Higher Education Tuition Deduction • Those who are Repaying their First Time Home Buyers Credit (taken on 2008 return) • Those taking credit for the purchase of an Electric Vehicle The reason for the delay are late tax law changes made by congress in late December that has caused the IRS to reprogram their processing system for accepting paper and electronic tax returns.

Tax filers claiming the above deductions or credits will have to wait until Mid to Late February before their returns can be accepted. This doesn’t mean you should delay filing your return with your Tax Preparer. For the rest of us who don’t claim any of the above, the Tax Season Officially Started January 14th, 2011.

Bloggin Tips. Tami Highbaugh-Abdullah (AriesGDIM. Tami Highbaugh-Abdullah, IMMS - Owner of Aries – Graphic Design & Internet Marketing / AriesGDIM, established in 2002. Tami felt a need to create AriesGDIM to assist small businesses with an opportunity to "Stand OUT" from their competitors with bold professional branding development via print, websites, logo design and online brand management. In October of 2002 Tami was laid off from the American Trans Air; a direct fall out from the 9/11 tragedy of 2001. Tami seized the opportunity to start her own company and control her destiny.

Her goal was to assist those who wanted to start their own businesses by providing them with business setup solutions, bookkeeping, and tax preparation. Soon after starting her business, Highbaugh Tax, she realized many of her clients had little or no professional branding. AriesGDIM was born, her clients loving her unique style spread the word and soon Tami was servicing not only local clients but others across the U.S. and as far away as Bermuda.
