My New Year’s resolution is to take my small business more seriously. Right now, I sell stickers of my art as a “side hustle,” but it’s my dream to take the gig full-time. Taking things to the next level means putting together a portfolio to showcase my best work and getting my paperwork in order. Here’s how I’m going to do it on the cheap.<\/p>\n

I know Adobe’s Creative Cloud has some of the greatest document and design apps out there, but I can’t afford\u2014and simply don’t need\u2014all that. I’m going to use UPDF to create a portfolio and manage my contracts, invoices, and order forms since it’s only $47.99 for life with code HOLIDAY20 at checkout (reg. $59.99).<\/p>\n

This is more than a PDF editor<\/h2>\n

When I first decided I wanted to create a design portfolio, I thought I could just use Office apps and save as a PDF\u2026I was quickly mistaken. The design tools just aren’t made for that, and I quickly got frustrated.<\/p>\n

With UPDF, I’m starting a new PDF file and laying out my best sticker designs. I can add images, text boxes, and annotations, and nothing moves when I don’t want it to. This is going to be an amazing asset to send to new clients.<\/p>\n
