And then The Blogging Entrepreneur was ready to network!

2–3 minutes

First the Front

This is the front of my new business card, highlighting my two website URLs and my self-imposed nickname.

Then the Back

This side highlights my overall self-branding (not a specific arm of my business). It is my goal to create a way to introduce myself to other professionals rather than promote a specific product.

Now the Discussion

I was working on my class essay when the mail came! I am now ready to network with other professionals!

Made using linen materials, I ordered a small stack of cards from VistaPrint. I have always been a fan of their options, mostly. I will say that the quality has often been better than when I ordered elsewhere. I suspect it is because they are such a large company.

Now, the real dirt of it all. I wanted a way to introduce myself to professionals. Not just one aspect of my business but the entirety of myself! Ever since I purchased my bio domain name, I knew it was time to create a real card for myself.

The coloring of the cards is much better in person than the photos shown. I suspect I should have found another way for them to sit up while I took the photo. I used the edge of my monitor. 😅

I thought the brightness would light up the card for better visibility. Instead it distorted the coloring. 😬

It is okay, though. You get the gist of the intention. I have professional business cards to hand out to contacts now. That makes things feel a little more authentic. I am an entrepreneur, and I am credible. This is a good thing.

I am improving my business communication approach, too. I am learning to spot important points in my thought process. I am becoming more succinct, just not right at this second, apparently.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the design I chose! I altered an existing design on the website to give it the appearance I wanted.
