How To Create A Color Palette For Your Brand

I have received many questions from entrepreneurs asking how I come up with a color palette as a designer and how I know the colors work together. Well, I am about to share a little secret with you all. 

My secret: Adobe Color App

This is my favorite app on the market as of late because it allows my branding and design process to go a lot quicker. 

Step 1: Find a picture where you enjoy the colors & upload it from your camera roll. It will automatically select 5 colors and then you can move around the circles to go to the colors you want.

Step 2: After clicking the check mark above, save the palette on the screen below. You can share this on social media, email it to yourself or to a client to get their opinion!

Step 3: After saving it, the screen below appears and you want to click on the second icon from the left which looks like a notepad and pencil.

Step 4: The screen below will appear and you want to click on the icon on the right side with the 3 lines with dots on them.

Step 5: This is where you can edit the colors and find the HEX codes. You just click on the designated color and you will find the HEX code for each. You can then use these universal HEX codes in any program that allows you to design and there you have your brand palette! 

How do you design your color palettes?

How I Doubled My Newsletter Subscribers In Two Days

It seems as if everyone is pushing this whole email marketing phenomenon, right? Well everything they are saying is right....you need to have an email marketing campaign no matter what online business you are.

Emails are golden and once you have that email in hand you need to give that little nugget all the value you can muster up!

So how do you go about getting said newsletter subscribers? Well I am going to share a little secret with you but promise you won't tell okay?

FACEBOOK GROUPS FILLED WITH YOUR IDEAL CLIENT!

Did you get that? Good.

That is how I doubled my subscribers within 48 hours but let me tell you, you will be on Facebook for a good 38 hours out of those 48 in order to keep up!

This is what I posted in a few key Facebook groups...

"Comment YES below if you want to know the 5 crucial things to incorporate into your websites landing page & a special bonus!"

That one sentence in 5 different groups amounted to over 100 people interested say what?!?! 

Once you get your target audience interested in something of value, you can't go wrong. I am eager to help people with their brands and websites so offering this in my newsletter was the perfect idea. 

But be warned if you do this, you will be a victim of Facebook for hours and hours on end and you will wake up to 20 something notifications and 20 unread messages even though you caught up before going to bed the night before. 

I had no idea it would grow by that much and I couldn't have been happier with the results. Facebook groups are a powerful network tool that every entrepreneur should be involved in.
