The idea of sharing what you offer at no charge or a small fee comes from the heart and is a truly wonderful gift.? However, what many of my clients find out quickly is that it?s challenging to stay in business at this level of service?because there?s no real revenue coming in.
So what can be done to give back and remain prosperous? This can be hard to accept for some, but you must get paid for your work. There?s no way around it if you want a profitable business right? But think of it this way?if you can sustain a certain level of income Wholesale Vikings Jerseys , you can afford to give back to the community!
I?ll use myself as an example. I run a successful business and there are women around the world who can?t afford, no matter how well they?re doing, to take advantage of what I offer. Specifically Cheap Vikings Hats , I would love to share my message with women in regions like Africa. The income I make from my paying clients would allow me to fly myself there and cover the cost of my stay so that I may then share the work at a very low cost to thousands of African women (and other places where they need me).
But would I be able to do this and affect these people?s lives if I didn?t properly charge for the value I give? Look at it this way ? you get paid in one area, then you do something benevolent in another.
My advice is not to see this as all or nothing. Keep your business active rather than shifting to serve those who can?t afford your fees and let that support your charitable desires so you have the funds and support to give back. Obviously, the clients who pay the fee will get more access and more of everything you offer. But they are getting value and the results. Then you take a portion of that money from the value you provide and help those who can?t afford your fees.
Look at this like tithing. You take 10% of your time or 10% of your revenues and share this with people. This is done all the time in church. You are using this 10% to help those who can?t afford what you do to give back to your community Cheap Vikings Hoodies , whoever or wherever that might be.
Your Client Attraction Assignment Is there a group of people you want to help who can?t afford what you do? Think about who you might want to serve and who could gain the most from what you offer. Then start in a small way and test the waters to see how it works for you and those you want to give back to. You can perfect your offering with a bit of practice so it feels good for everyone involved.
Why is a 3 megapixel camera better than a 1 megapixel camera? It really depends on how you intend to reproduce the picture. The reason cameras produce pictures at 72 pixels per inch is that this format is standard in video uses such as television and DVD. So there is no noticeable difference in quality when viewing pictures on a TV or DVD. The difference appears when you are cropping andor printing these pictures. If you are not familiar with the term cropping, I will explain it later. First, let's talk about printing.
Even the most inexpensive of printers these days are capable of printing at 300 dots per inch (dpi). Most are capable of printing at 600 dpi and you can buy relatively affordable printers that print at 1200 dpi and above. You may have noticed that with cameras it's called pixels per inch and with printers it is call dots per inch. The terms are hardware specific Cheap Vikings Shirts , but relate to the same principal. A printer prints a specific number of dots of ink per inch on the paper whereas a TV displays a specific number of pixels per inch on the screen. In either case, combining the dots or pixels creates the picture.
So how does this affect quality? If we're printing a picture that has 72 pixels per inch from a 1-megapixel camera on 4x3 printer paper we've got a problem. (Here is where I have to crunch some numbers, so please bear with me.) Let's figure it out. Four inches times 72 pixels (dots) per inch equals 288 pixels (dots) on the vertical line. Three inches times 72 pixels (dots) equals 216 pixels (dots) on the horizontal line. The total picture would have 288 times 216 or 62 Cheap Vikings Jerseys ,208 pixels. That's way short of one million.
So where did the other pixels go? If you're printing this picture at a store or camera shop that has conversion capabilities, the machine that you are printing on actually crunches the picture down for you. The size of the picture taken by a 1-megapixel camera is approximately 16 inches x12 inches. (16x72=1152 and 12x72=864 and 864x1152=995,328 pixels). The machine makes this picture into a 4x3 by increasing the number of pixels per inch. The 4x3 picture is 14th the size of the 16x12 so there has to be four times as many pixels per inch to reduce this picture to 4x3. Four times seventy two equals two hundred eighty eight pixels (dots) per inch. With more pixels or dots per inch Danielle Hunter Hat , the picture can be reproduced at a higher quality level making details sharper and more distinct. So a 1-megapixel camera can produce a reasonably good quality 4x3 inch picture on a 300 dpi printer. That's what most amateur photographers get with their snapshot cameras. If you try to get larger pictures, then the picture quality begins to deteriorate. Part 2-2 will deal with larger prints.
