How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.

Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Am I The Right Person For A Home Based Craft Business?
Nine important questions you must answer honestly
I have been where you are, and in fact, I revisit to this spot quite regularly.
This is the place where the rubber meets the road. Dreams and bank accounts collide,
and visions for the future are often hindered by the vague memories of the past.
Am I good enough?
Do I have what it takes?
Will I make enough money?
Will the lifestyle suit my personality?
Your personal inventory and evaluation, although daunting, can be a great place to start
with your new business.
Your first lesson is all about settling this issue once and for all. Once completed, you will
know if you “have it” or not, and you can then proceed in the right direction.
First Things First
1. Begin by asking yourself the most important question of all: Why do you want to
be in a home-based business? Take time to think about this and be honest with
yourself. You might find it helpful to make a list of what you are looking for: is it
more time, freedom from a boss, a chance to be at home with the kids, a desire
to create business for yourself, etc.
2. What kind of experience do you have in management? Were you the leader at
work, in a community project, church related activities or school programs? What
type of skills did you develop that would be useful to a home based business? If
you do recognize some weaknesses, can you think of ways that you can
compensate or overcome them? For instance, can you hire someone to do those
items or contract it out to another company?
It is important that you face reality here and tell it like it is. HOWEVER, be as
honest with yourself about your strengths as you are about your perceived
weaknesses.

3. Do you have the space you need for a craft business? A craft business can
create a good deal of clutter, and requires ample storage space. You will need
room for a desk, a larger flat surface for your workstation, and room to store your
materials.
It can be a great idea to create a floor plan of your work and storage area,
calculating the square footage you require, and deciding what space you have, or
can locate, to accommodate your needs.
4. Who do you know that is involved in business? Either they own a retail business,
run a business from home, or have done so in the past. Do you have
relationships with people who can mentor you and teach you by example? Are
you willing to find those kinds of people if you are not presently connected to
them? What would you do to connect and learn from them?
5. What equipment would you need to purchase or rent for your new business? Do
you own a computer; fax machine, desk, and car for deliveries? What craft
making tools do you own, and which ones do you need to buy to get the business
going? You may not need everything on day one, but do you have a plan for how
to acquire what you need as you move along?
6. What about the licenses and permits required to run a business from home in
your city? Have you checked with the municipalities for pertinent information?
Are there any by-laws that limit your business activities in your residential area?
Have you checked to see that your business name is cleared for registration?
Typically, the chamber of commerce has good information regarding these issues
for start-up businesses, and if not, they will know where to refer you for the right
information.
7. Have you detailed a one-year budget including both expenses and projected
revenue? This is tough, because you really have no idea. To insure you have
worked from the worst-case scenario, be conservative in your revenue
projections and as thorough as you can be in estimating expenses. Will you be
able to survive is you don’t break even the first year? If yes, how will you do it?
What is your plan?
8. Have you done a good analysis of your competition? What makes them great
and what are they missing? What do they offer that is attractive, and where can
they improve? Don’t just examine pricing. Pricing is not always the best way to
compete. Look at everything from selection, to delivery methods and production
time to customer service standards. Where can you jump in and capture some of
the market with your unique strengths?
9. What are the goals you have for your business? What do you want to
accomplish in one year? Three years? Five years? Is this a family business to
pass on to your children, or an investment business to grow and sell in a few
years for profit? What kind of money do you want and need to generate to make
the business a profitable use of your time and energy?
The more you can think through these points and answer clearly, the higher the chances
are that you will be successful in your venture. To be honest, I believe you would not be

7. How To Get More Customers & Make More Sales For Your Craft Business
reading this if you didn’t already possess what it takes to be successful. The biggest
challenge you face is to know yourself and your abilities and finding the people or
systems that will ‘pick up the slack ‘where your talents or energy wanes and partner with
you toward success.
You have your hands full and you will need to take time, probably on a few occasions, to
complete today’s assignment.
Take your time, grab a piece a notepad and write down your answers, thoughts and
feelings on questions 1 -9 above.
Write them down!!!!!
I can’t stress strongly enough the difference you will find answering these questions by
writing them down rather than just reading through and answering thins in your head.
Writing will get your brain thinking way more than you can ever achieve just mulling it
over in your mind so get ready to start planning

Prepare To Succeed In Your Home Based Craft Business
Draw a roadmap to take you where you want to go
It is not always a straight path to get where you want to go. In fact, the curves and
turns, detours and obstacles are what make the journey a mysterious and magical
event.
Your first step in your home-based craft business is to plan to be successful. As you
know, many new ventures fail, and oftentimes it is because they failed to create a plan
for themselves. A plan will keep you focused on what is important and less distracted by
the interruptions.
So let’s get started.
1. Determine for yourself if your love of making handicrafts is a hobby or if you
can see yourself producing under time deadlines, in large amounts, to appeal to
the other people’s preferences and with materials that fit in the customer’s
budget.
2. Fortunately, many craft components and tools are so small that you won’t need a
real estate agent to help find a big warehouse for your business. Many people
operate their craft from the kitchen table or a room in the basement.
3. Before you actually launch your craft business, you would be wise to do some
research. Figure out where you are going to sell your handcrafts. Will you sell
them online through your own website, to friends, at local markets, through Etsy,
Artfire or eBay? Make a list of the retailers in your area or city that you envision
carrying your line of hand crafted goods. Go visit each one and see what they
carry. Talk to the owners/managers and find out what sells and what doesn’t.
Talk to other customers and listen to their opinions about designs, price and
selection. Be a SUPER SLUETH.
4. Write down your ideas – every one of them! It doesn’t matter if they are good
or bad at this point. Get them recorded. And don’t forget to write down what you
learn in your “spy” business- you’ll be using that information for sometime in the
future.

9. How To Get More Customers & Make More Sales For Your Craft Business
5. Determine if you are going to begin full-time or part-time in your business.
Full time may be your goal, but before you burn your bridges consider:
Do you have enough cash to keep yourself comfortable for the first year of
business, without draining every dollar you have in savings?
Are you prepared to focus everyday on what you used to enjoy as a pastime?
Will your body cooperate with the positions required to work with tiny objects
for hours at a time?
Will your family offer their support or do they expect a certain financial
contribution from your work?
Can you work in isolation and enjoy the time as quiet and to yourself, or do
you need interaction with others to stay motivated?
Do you need the benefit plans afforded from working in a larger company?
There are of course other considerations, but this is a good start.
6. How well do you get along with your new boss? That means YOU. When we
leave a job, it’s easy to think that working for ourselves is easy, but in reality, it
can be a tough slug. You may be a slave driver, a perfectionist, or a
procrastinator. These characteristics don’t always make for the easiest working
relationship. You will have to find a way to make peace with the new head
honcho, and tell her when you need some time to yourself!
7. Do you need to borrow money to get your business off to a good start?
Because of the seasonal aspect of sales, you may be able to enter the market on
a shoestring budget. But if you intend to capitalize on Christmas season, or
tourist months, you may need an infusion of cash.
Make a list of possible resources and make some calls. Find out what you will
need to provide to get assistance.
8. Prepare a budget. You want to be as thorough as you can be, even though your
knowledge of the industry is limited. See below for a sample worksheet to serve
as a guide.
9. Prepare your family: Teach your family what “Do Not Disturb” means when you
are working. A lot of home-based businesses suffer due to lack of good
boundaries with friends and family. They don’t always remember that you are
working, and it is your job to teach them.
You are off to a great start. In your next chapter we will talk specifically about how you
can find your niche in a crowded marketplace; how you can be unique and have a style
that motivates people to want to buy from YOU.

Find Your Unique Customer For Your Craft Business
Every business needs a USP – Unique Selling Position
I have good news
………I have bad news.
Let’s go with the bad news first:
There are many competitors in the craft making industry. They too, want to sell their
designs to the public and make money. Some of them are good at what they do and
actually make some great stuff. Some competitors have more money than you do and
can advertise more than you can.
Whew! Now that we have that behind us, here’s the good news:
You are a unique person with a creative perspective and your passion will be a
reflection of your person and your skill. Your customers won’t care about how much
money you have or don’t have. They care about if you know about them, please them,
price for them, and design for them. It’s all about them! SO, the better you know them,
and what they want, the more you can target them specifically and build your business.
What is a USP?
USP stands for “unique selling proposition”, or you could say, “unique selling position.”
What it means is this:
In the marketplace, you have to have a reason to be. There must be something about
you that is a reason for your products to exist; for you to compete with others for market
share.
Are you going to position yourself to be the cheapest? Will you have all your materials
imported from Greece? Are you going to offer free shipping? Will your trademark be
pottery animals? Whatever you decide to become the focal point, the selling point for
your business, is your USP.

12. How To Get More Customers & Make More Sales For Your Craft Business
How do you find a USP?
You won’t find an effective USP drinking coffee and eating a donut. You can dream up
what you want about your business, but to be successful, you need to base your USP on
what the market demands.
Your business will be successful if you are meeting a need, solving a
problem or making life better for your customer.
You will need to do some market research to determine what is missing for the
consumer and how you can help.
Look at what’s being sold in the market and what you could improve on.
Maybe it’s just something as simple as being quirky and everything you make is Orange
and you create your own brand identity as part of your USP.
Whatever it is you need just a little something that will make people remember you and
your work.

13. How To Get More Customers & Make More Sales For Your Craft Business
How to Begin Your Market Research
Marketing research is a science of its own, but every new business owner needs to have
some basics down pat. Here are a few steps to take toward determining your USP:
1. As we mentioned in Chapter 2, going to the places where you expect to be
selling your merchandise and asking questions and *really* listening, will be a
real eye opener.
2. Get your hands on at least 20 different magazines published within the past year.
Take note of the styles, the prices. Go online; look at the sites that are similar to
what you want to do. Note the styles, prices and variety.
3. What type of person is likely to buy your product – describe them in as much
detail as you can; how much money they make, where they live, their age, family
status, education, gender, and buying preferences.
4. What are people buying? Thanks to the internet these days then finding out
what’s selling well is easy. Just check out some of these links to see what’s
popular. Take a look at the links below to get an idea of what’s selling well.
Top Sellers on Etsy.
Popular Craft Items on Ebay
5. Once you have an idea of what you want to design and sell, make some samples
and take them to at least 10 different local retailers – Ask the merchants for
feedback. Be open enough to HEAR what they are saying.
Remember, they want to sell your product. In fact, they want you to be smashing
success as it means more money for them.
Do your homework and get ready! In your next chapter, you will learn some of the
basics of craft making. Prepare yourself a table to work at, and book some time to
yourself;; it’s time to start crafting.
