Hello, my name is Sergey and I’m addicted to automation. I first tried it when I was 18 years old. I built an automated system in a famous online game to level up characters and sell them later. Since then, I have been making a living through automation. At the beginning of my career, I worked as a backend developer and developed a CRM system to automate logistics company routines. The next important point in my career was working for a company that organized business events. During this time, I gained extensive knowledge about communication through COM ports and network interfaces by implementing a web application that integrated with various hardware devices. Then, I finally found a job that aligned with my passion for automation, so I made a decision to switch from a developer to DevOps engineer. So far, I am very happy. Over the years, thanks to my experience, I have learned that true automation, without proper monitoring, can actually make work more difficult and maintenance more expensive.
I have over 10 years of professional experience, with 5 years as a software developer and almost 6 years as a DevOps engineer. My core skills include monitoring and functional programming concepts such as immutability and referential transparency that I use in infrastructure design. These skills help me to build reliable and maintainable systems.
In my work I use:
- Linux, Shell script
- Python, Go
- Prometheus, Grafana, Loki
- Jenkins
- Kubernetes, terraform, docker
- AWS
Having lived in 28 countries over the past 10 years, I am comfortable working in multicultural teams and adapting to new environments.

Business credit is a journey, not a destination. It’s not somewhere you get to, but rather a road you travel down, continually making progress. It’s time to change our mindset from business credit being a thing you get quickly, to being a thing you can start building quickly, and then continue building upon. This is the truth behind fast business credit
Growing your business credit portfolio doesn’t happen overnight. Your portfolio can grow over the life of your business. The key to speed is to get accounts that will build business credit while growing your portfolio at the same time.
Start with a Fundable Foundation. Then, get initial accounts reporting. Knowing which accounts will approve you and report positive payment history is essential.
With a Fundable foundation, you can start applying for initial accounts. These are limited, but as you grow, more tools become available. There are not a ton of vendors that offer credit without an established business credit score, and of the ones that do, even fewer report positive payment history.
Even if they do, they do not always make it easy to find that out, or what they require for approval. Applying for and using smaller accounts that report sets you up to qualify for accounts that are harder to get in the future.
The major roadblock when it comes to building business credit is finding accounts that you both qualify for and that will report positive payment history.
If you just start applying for credit in the name of your business, without knowing if you qualify or if they will report, your progress will be slow.
This is the beauty of the Credit Suite Business Credit Builder. We find the vendors for you and tell you which ones to apply for and when. This saves you an abundance of time.
In fact, we gather all of the business credit building blocks together in one place and tell you when it is time to use each one. We offer lists of vetted vendors as you become eligible for them. This cuts out considerable time over the trial and error method.
When you know specifically which accounts will approve you and report your positive payment history, you stop wasting time on accounts that will do neither.
Once you complete the steps, the initial building process is done. However, you aren’t finished growing your portfolio. That process continues. The Business Credit Builder has a large list of advanced vendors. These vendors extend credit to businesses based on business credit scores, but they may not report.
Still, they are important to your business credit portfolio. They allow you to get supplies you need to serve your clients and pay for them after you are paid for the job. As you grow, you can ask for higher limits. The best part is, you have access to this list for 5 years!
Think of a business credit portfolio as a pool of various types of business credit. You can leverage it to run your business successfully. This “pool” will allow you to further business growth and success.
A well-rounded business credit portfolio can include both PG and non-PG financing. In general, personal guarantees should be avoided, but sometimes you just can’t avoid them. If a personal guarantee will help you qualify for funding or credit cards, and you wouldn’t qualify without it, it can be smart to offer one. This is especially true if they report payments to the business credit CRAs. Then they can help you build your business credit score.
You can get business credit quickly, in the form of vendor credit, soon after you set up a Fundable Foundation. But, you won’t get anywhere on vendor credit alone. You need a variety of types of business credit accounts. The only way to get those is to continue building on the accounts you have and manage them responsibly.

Think about the number of ads you see in an average day. Can you remember them all? Don’t worry if the answer’s no. After all, the average person sees up to 10,000 ads per day across the internet!
Let me ask you an easier question. Think about the last marketing campaign you can remember. The last ad that made you sit up and take notice. What about the ad caught your attention?
Chances are, you’ve got something visual in mind. Whether it’s an image, video, or interactive picture, I bet you remember something about the aesthetic—the graphic design.
See, graphic design is about communication: sending the right message to your intended audience and showcasing what’s special about your brand. Let me show you why graphic design matters in paid ad campaigns and the types of elements you can use to craft stand-out ads.
Honestly, there are so many reasons why visual elements work in ad campaigns. However, we’ve narrowed it down to three main reasons graphic design is crucial to paid campaigns, whatever niche you’re in.
For starters, graphic design allows you to make a great first impression with your target audience. It sets the tone for how a prospect perceives your brand. Do first impressions really matter, though?
Sure. Just think about how much competition is out there, for one thing. Stand out from the crowd by setting a professional, positive first impression with eye-catching designs.
Secondly, graphic design helps reinforce your brand identity. It allows you to tell your brand story in a unique, creative way designed to grab a prospect’s attention. You can use a series of consistent, connected ads to really drive home your desired messaging and shape your audience’s perspective of what your company stands for.
Finally, great visuals speak louder than words. They transcend language and cross boundaries to communicate strong, effective messages to a target audience.
The key takeaway? Graphic design helps you craft content that attracts attention and sticks in a prospect’s mind long after the content disappears from their screen.
Graphic design sounds great, right? It is, but bear in mind some words of caution: While great visuals can do wonders for your brand, poor graphic design can leave a bad impression.
Stick with high-quality, professional graphic elements, and keep your messaging consistent: It takes five to seven interactions for someone to remember a brand, so make it easier by communicating consistently.
Not sure where to start with graphic design? You have two main options. If your budget stretches to it, you might want to hire a professional company to help you design great graphics. Alternatively, there are numerous graphic design tools you can use to create your designs in-house.
OK, so that’s why graphic design is crucial to any successful paid campaign. What elements go into a great ad, though? How do you make different visual elements work together to create a memorable campaign?
Well, while there’s no “magic” formula, there are five key elements you can use to create visually engaging campaigns. You don’t need to use them all in every design, but you should ideally use as many elements as you can to enrich your content. After all, you only have roughly two seconds to grab a person’s attention before they move on, so your paid ads must stand out.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at each element in turn and consider what they are, how they’re used in graphic design, and how they work together.
In graphic design, typography refers to how you arrange text within your advertisement. It’s how you display words to quickly capture someone’s attention and communicate your core message.
Typography tells people why your ad matters, so it’s crucial you choose the right words. However, what’s equally important is the font and the text size.
The font directly impacts the vibe or mood of your ad. For example, a sharp, angular font sends a strong message:
Softer fonts, on the other hand, have a more relaxed vibe:
Size and density matter, too. Large, thick lettering conveys a powerful message, while smaller, thinner letters are more elegant and timeless.
Finally, typography covers text emphasis. Highlighting, bolding, or italicizing some words draws special attention to them, so people quickly know which words to pay the most heed to.
Don’t let typography daunt you. Think of it as how you put words together on the screen. Experiment with different text positioning to ensure the ad is well-balanced, and check out examples of ads in your niche to see what works and what doesn’t.
By “visuals,” I’m talking about the actual images you use to grab someone’s attention. Visuals can include:
Why are visuals so important? Well, they make up the bulk of your ad. Unless you use particularly bold lettering or a lot of blank space (which we’ll cover later), images are central to your visual content.
You can use visuals to convey messages that may be hard to express through words, or you might use visuals to reinforce a written message.
Videos, for example, help you describe how something works in more detail. It’s an opportunity to get closer to your audience and build trust in your brand:
Infographics, on the other hand, help marketers condense complex points into visually appealing content that’s easily consumed and understood. Finally, elements like logos allow marketers to increase brand visibility on social media and elsewhere online.
The takeaway? You can use visuals to craft a consistent brand presence while communicating your core message in an engaging way.
Visuals are key to shaping the overall mood of your graphic design, so think carefully about the type of visual elements you want to include to maximize your ad’s chance of success. Again, it might be worth scoping out successful ads in your niche and seeing what you can learn from them.
Specifically, space in graphic design refers to the space surrounding other elements like text, shapes, or visuals. It’s also referred to as “white” space or “negative” space.
Think of white space as your foundation. You start with a blank or white screen, and you build the other elements around this space. In other words, white space is the canvas, allowing you to balance contrasting elements, draw attention to key visuals, and create the right vibe.
To be clear, there’s no need for the space to actually be white; it can be any color. What matters is that there’s clear space between your visual elements to avoid a confusing aesthetic.
The main point to bear in mind? If there’s not enough space between elements, your design might be cluttered, jarring, and difficult for your audience to make sense of. On the other hand, if there’s too much space, the ad might seem redundant or hollow.
Learning the art of white space is key to mastering how to craft well-balanced, appealing content for landing pages and campaigns.
I can’t overstate how important color is when choosing graphic designs for your paid campaigns. Whether you opt for a bright, vibrant palette or muted, dulcet tones, the color choice affects the whole mood of your campaign.
In design, we can group color schemes into categories based on where they sit on the color wheel. Here’s a simple example of a color wheel:
Complementary colors sit opposite each other, such as yellow and purple. Monochromatic colors, on the other hand, are simply different shades of one color (such as different hues of blue.)
Analogous colors sit beside each other, such as orange and yellow, while triadic colors are evenly spaced across the wheel (such as yellow, red, and blue.)
Graphic design involves selecting a color palette to dictate the mood or communicate an emotional response. Bold colors and warm hues, for example, invoke different vibes from cold colors or softer, pastel shades.
You can play around with different color combinations until you find the one which feels right.
Don’t forget to consider what colors to use for all visual elements and how they might work together. If you opt for black and white text, think about how this might work with the color scheme for your background and chosen visuals. A disorganized, fragmented color scheme can ruin the look of your design.
In graphic design, lines are about more than just connecting dots. Lines have numerous artistic purposes, such as:
Lines are highly expressive tools. They can be:
The type of lines you draw depends on the message you’re trying to send to your audience.
Shapes in graphic design simply mean forms contained within lines, such as rectangles, squares, circles, and so on.
There are two main types of shapes: organic and geometric. Organic shapes are less well-defined. They include natural shapes, such as leaves, and irregular or curved shapes, such as vases. No two organic shapes are the same. By contrast, geometric shapes are more simplistic. They can be 2D or 3D, depending on the form, and they include shapes like triangles, rectangles, and spheres.
In graphic design, you can use a blend of organic and geometric shapes, or you can stick with one category for a more uniform design.
Graphic design is a means of creating visual content. Using a blend of color, imagery, and text, graphic design communicates specific messages in a visually appealing, engaging way.
You can use graphic design to drive home your brand message more effectively through paid ad campaigns. With the right imagery, your ad can stand out from the crowd, which is especially important in a crowded niche. What’s more, professional graphics could make your brand seem more authentic and trustworthy.
Graphic design works great on visual social media platforms such as Instagram, but you can also use it on display ads, landing pages, and Google shopping ads. Wherever there’s an opportunity to add imagery, the right graphic design elements can help you build a consistent brand identity online.
Ideally, you’re aiming to include a blend of elements. The five key elements to choose from are text, color, space, shapes, and visuals. You don’t need to include every element in every ad, but you should use as many as you can to create eye-catching designs.
