Most small businesses don't fail because the product is bad. They fail because the first screenshot looks amateur.

Three things I see every week on Instagram:

1. A logo that was made in five minutes

If the mark looks like clip art, people assume the work is clip art too. A tight, simple mark beats a busy one every time.

2. Five different colors, none of them on purpose

Pick two. One dark, one accent. Use them on every post, story, and highlight cover. Consistency reads as money.

3. Type that fights itself

One heading font. One body font. Stop mixing script, neon, and all-caps on the same grid.

If you sell something real and your page still looks like a side hustle, that's the gap. Fix the identity first. Then ads actually have something to land on.

I take a small number of brand projects at a time. Briefing is $47, credited toward the work if we proceed.
