Drink with style; get 50 custom coasters with free shipping for $9!
This week's deal is on 50 custom drink coasters for only $9.
> These babies are from StickerMule, which means they're quality.
StickerMule makes quality prints from your designs. We've featured sales from them in the past that have always sold out. This time around they're offering 50 drink coasters, printed to your specifications, for only $9 - and that includes free shipping in North America and the EU. That's an incredible price. Save on coasters for a wedding, create a prototype for a brewery client, or just put your smiling face or an in-joke on a set of coasters to give to friends. At only $9, why not?
Normally this order would cost $65, which is totally fair for the quality prints that StickerMule makes - but for this week only, get 50 coasters for 86% off at just $9. Get it now and think about what to do with them later. It'll be great.
Save 99.9% on 2600+ elements from BilberryCreate and master a warm, delicate style!
This week's deal is on over 2600 design elements from Daria Bilberry's BilberryCreate Studio!
They've got a soft, whimsical style that is incredibly useful.
All 2600+ elements in this bundle go together beautifully, from fonts to swatches to illustrations to backgrounds to templates and more. Daria Bilberry is famed for her delicate, warm style and this bundle will instantly give you mastery over this look. You could conceivably make an entire career creating branding, marketing and wedding invitations with just this bundle. Not that you should, but you totally could.
Normally BilberryCreate would sell the elements in this bundle for $4200, but this week all 2600+elements are just $9. That's nine dollars for all two thousand and six hundred plus elements. That's incredible value, and if you sell one project with these elements you've already made that money back at least ten-fold.
How to be yourself, whatever: Rachel Presser on being "The Toad Lady"
We constantly hear that we should "be ourselves" and "authentic." The only problem is when most people tell us that, they're telling us to be the person they think we are. That's not what it means to be yourself.
Rachel Presser of Sonic Toad Media couldn't be mistaken for anyone but herself. She makes games and she loves toads, and she makes that absolutely clear. She does a great job of recognizing who she wants to work with, and she knows that watering herself down means working with the wrong people. She shares her freelancing philosophy with Kyle in this week's episode.
We're sponsored this week by Gusto! Manage payroll, taxes and HR from one simple management tool so you can be the boss you always wish you had! Check out their three-month free trial.

Turbocharge your toolkit with 197 premium fonts for only $15! 99% off!
This week's deal is on a massive collection of new fonts to play with.
> The quality and diversity of these fonts are both very, very high.
Whether you live and breathe fonts or you just want a few options so you've got the right tool for the right job, you're going to find a lot to like here. 52 premium font families, 197 unique fonts. I'm enamored with the stately elegance of Golden Bird, the warm and inviting script font Just Because, the austerity of Elena and the stylish brutality of Knowhere, but you're going to find a few new favorites here.
Buying every one of these premium fonts separately would normally add up to $1163, but this week you can get them all for $15 at a savings of 99%. That's chump change for this much variety in your toolkit. Don't miss it.

Get an insane 2000+ design resources for only $12 at 99% off!
This week's deal is on an incredible amount of gorgeous elements.
> Seriously, there's a whole lot of variety here.
Illustrations, brushes, watercolors, textures, business cards, patterns, backgrounds, objects, actions... You could spend a happy afternoon just going through this bundle and imagining all the things you could do with it. Wanted to give a summery watercolor vibe? This has got you covered. Want to sell people on pumpkin-spice lattes in the fall? There are a host of elements for that here too. Honestly, just the watercolor swatches ALONE are worth the price.
Everything in this bundle would normally sell for $1600 at under a dollar per element, but for the next week, all 2000+ are just $12. That's a laughable price for this amount of great stuff. Sell one design with one element and it's already paid for itself.
