Upload your business logo to your Canva Account. Ps. You don’t need a Canva Pro account for this

Step 3. Add your business information.

Add your client’s details and your business information.

Remember to copy and paste your client’s information, and also your business details, such as:

Name.
Address.
Email.
Phone number.

Also include the payment information your client will use to pay for this invoice:

Bank name.
Account holder name.
Bank account number.

Step 4. Add Your Items.

Write down each product or service that your customer is buying from you, and don’t forget to add each item’s price as well

Step 5. How to calculate invoice subtotals? Let’s learn to calculate them

Each of the lines on your invoice will have a subtotal.
To calculate it, all you need to do is multiply:

(Your Item Price) x (How many items a.k.a. ‘Quantity’) = The result is your subtotal.

If you need a little extra help with this, remember you can watch this in-depth step-by-step guide on how to calculate each field of how invoice. Follow the easy steps and you’ll be ready to go!

To calculate your sales tax, all you need to do is multiply:

(Your subtotal before tax) x (your tax numeric value) = the result is your sales Tax.

So for example, if you have an 8% tax, your tax numeric value is 0.08. So all you need to do is multiply:

(Your subtotal before tax) x 0.08 = the result is your sales Tax.

You can substitute the number 8 with your actual tax number.

BONUS. How to calculate Sales Tax? (with decimals)

If your sales tax has a decimal value, just add the decimals after your first number, like this:

8.55% sales tax example

So, just multiply:

(Your subtotal before tax) x 0.0855 = and the result is your sales Tax.

You can substitute the number 8 with your actual tax number.

Step 7. Sum your Grand Total.

To sum your grand total, all you need to do is add:

(your subtotal before tax) + (your sales tax) = the result is your Invoice’s Grand Total.

Step 8. Share your Invoice with your Client

Now that your invoice is ready, this is the perfect time to send it to your client. A friendly and polite message will always be a great idea for communicating to your client that the invoice is ready.

You may draw some inspiration from the example below:

6 Simple Habits for a Successful Home-Based Creative Business

kittymogulbusiness — Fri, 08 Mar 2024 17:02:19 +0000

If your dreams of creating a successful creative business include you in your PJs and cozy warm coffee on some days, while also having blazer days, making your way through the city lights to catch an important business meeting: you’re in the right place! And no, you don’t have to choose one or the other: you can have the best of both worlds, and I’m about to show you the HOW.

Step 1: Start Believing

If you have been living your life with a creative mind between your ears, chances are you’ve already experienced your fair share of creative disappointment, often coming from getting too excited at the beginning of any new creative project or endeavor. Please don’t be discouraged if you ever feel confused by your own creative fire. Let me let you in on a little secret:

Success doesn’t require you to be The Most Talented or Skilled: It’s about never giving up on your BIG dream. As simple as that!
– Kitty Mogul

So now, let’s dive into the 6 simple secrets you can start today and really start pushing the needle in your creative entrepreneurial journey!

Step 2. Create a Routine

Creating a daily or weekly schedule will aid in consistency and help you stay on target. Establish goals, list the things you must complete each day, and make a timetable that works for you. You’ll be more productive and efficient and move closer to your professional goals if you maintain a routine.

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
– Albert Schweitzer

Step 3. Stay motivated and focused

Yes, it’s not just you: working from home can be distracting with various temptations and potential interruptions. So to help yourself, try to reduce distractions and set up a concentrated workspace to stay focused. Include inspiring phrases, a vision board, or a playlist that gives you energy in your environment. Discover what inspires and motivates you to continue consistently pursuing your business goals.

Creativity is Intelligence Having Fun!
– Albert Einstein

Step 4. Embrace and celebrate your small steps and achievements

Consistency doesn’t mean you have to make huge strides every single day. It’s about taking small, consistent steps towards your objectives. Break down your bigger goals into manageable tasks, and tackle them one at a time. Even the smallest advancements help your business advance in the long run.

Step 5. Adapt and Learn as much as you can

As a creative entrepreneur, you might find it hard sometimes to rigidly stick to a plan, since your nature is to get easily distracted. So you may embrace that flexibility feature of yours, by being adaptable and always open to learning. As you progress, you’ll gain insights and feedback that can help you refine your strategies. Embrace change, be willing to adjust your approach when needed, and continuously seek opportunities for improvement.

Step 6. Keep Track of Your Progress

Keep a record of your accomplishments, milestones, and lessons learned along the way. Regularly assess your progress and evaluate what’s working and what isn’t. This will help you make informed decisions, identify areas for growth, and celebrate your achievements. Seeing how far you’ve come will motivate you to stay consistent and keep pushing forward.

Step 7. Keep believing in yourself: you’ve got this!

Any home-based business startup requires industrial amounts of self-confidence. Trust your skills and the value you bring to the table. Have faith in them. Even though you can experience self-doubt or disappointments, keep in mind that perseverance is generally rewarded with success. Have faith in your vision, and let your passion and tenacity motivate you to reach your objectives.

Developing your own artistic style sets you apart from others in the resin crafting community. Experiment with different color combinations, try out various mold shapes and sizes, and explore different finishes like glitter or metallic effects

Understanding the basics

Resin crafting involves using a two-part epoxy resin that needs to be mixed in specific ratios. Different resins have varying curing times and properties, so it’s important to understand the characteristics of the resin you’re working with. Additionally, familiarize yourself with safety guidelines, such as wearing gloves to protect your skin from irritation and avoiding inhaling resin fumes.

Be mindful of your own safety

Resin can emit fumes that may be harmful if inhaled, so it’s crucial to work in a well-ventilated area or wear a respirator mask. Protect your eyes with goggles to prevent any accidental splashes, and wear gloves to avoid direct contact with the resin, which can cause skin irritation. Prioritize your safety while working with resin.

Invest in quality materials

Using high-quality resin, pigments, molds, and tools will make a noticeable difference in the final outcome of your crafts. Cheaper materials might result in inferior quality products that may not meet customer expectations. Investing in quality materials ensures better craftsmanship and customer satisfaction.

Practice makes perfect

Resin crafting is a skill that develops over time. Don’t get discouraged if your initial attempts don’t turn out as expected. Keep practicing different techniques like layering, embedding objects, or creating different finishes. The more you practice, the better you’ll become at creating beautiful resin crafts.

Build a good portfolio

Presentation is key when showcasing your crafts. Learn basic photography skills, such as lighting, composition, and staging. Use natural light or a lightbox to capture your crafts accurately. Clear, visually appealing photographs attract potential customers and make your crafts more marketable.

Build a unique style

Developing your own artistic style sets you apart from others in the resin crafting community. Experiment with different color combinations, try out various mold shapes and sizes, and explore different finishes like glitter or metallic effects. Aim to create crafts that reflect your personality and resonate with your target audience.

Invest time in learning how to market your business

Social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest can be powerful tools for promoting your resin crafts. Create an account or a dedicated page for your business, and regularly share high-quality images or videos of your crafts. Engage with your followers, respond to comments, collaborate with other creators, and use relevant hashtags to expand your reach.

Set up a pricing and profit structure

Calculate your costs accurately to determine the appropriate pricing for your crafts. Consider the cost of materials, packaging, and the time you invest in creating each piece. Research the market demand and analyze your target audience’s purchasing power to strike the right balance between affordability and profitability. It’s important not to undervalue your work.

Customer service is Key

Providing excellent customer service is essential for building a loyal customer base. Respond promptly and professionally to inquiries or messages from potential buyers. Address any concerns or issues that customers may have, and strive to exceed their expectations. Pay attention to packaging your crafts securely to avoid damage during shipping.

Consider legal and financial aspects of your business structure

Before starting a resin crafts business, familiarize yourself with local regulations and requirements. Some jurisdictions may require permits or licenses for home-based businesses. Keep detailed records of your expenses, sales, and profits for accounting and tax purposes. Consult with a professional if needed to ensure you comply with legal and financial obligations.

Your resin crafts business can thrive!

Remember, starting a resin crafts business from home requires patience, persistence, and continuous learning. Enjoy the creative process, embrace feedback, and adapt to market trends. With dedication and passion, your resin crafts business can thrive.
