Processes are your secret weapon.

Whether you want to improve your personal productivity or business efficiency.

Processes are the way.

//THREAD//
What is the process?

The (linear) process is a sequence of steps you have to take to get the wanted result.

e.g. The process of brushing your teeth consist of:

1. Going to the bathroom
2. Applying toothpaste
3. Brushing you teeth for 5 minutes

Simple.
Why to even care about some processes?

1. Following a process you make the mistake just once, then you update the processes and avoid it next time (it's antifragile)

2, It will free your brain capacity

3. You can outsource easily as you have the exact steps defined
Examples of processes I use (workin on)

- New client acquisition (from the first contact to getting a review from (s)he)

- Website making (from mood board to implementing google analytics)

- Client outreach

Whatever you do, a good process may help you a ton.
What to use for processes making?

- Notebook
- Notion.so
- Special apps

Processes are basically checklists (at least in the freelance context) so you don't need a special app (too complex)

I love the Notion.

But the notebook will do the work as well.
What are the stages of setting up a process?

For our purposes, let's call them

1. Mapping
2. Documenting
3. Rethinking
4. Optimization

Let's dive into them.
Mapping.

Pick up a task you want to process.

It should be something

- nontrivial
- high ROI
- you somehow struggle with

Once you have an adept, you're ready for the next stage.
Documenting.

Documenting is about writing down the steps you take doing the task in real-time.

Write down how you do it.

Step by step.

Nothing hard.
Rethinking.

Now, you have a rough idea of how you actually do it.

Ask yourself questions such as

- How to do it better?

- Can the process be outsourced? why not?

- Are there some missing steps?

After this stage, you have the first draft of your process.
Optimization.

Next time, do the thing following EXACTLY the process you made.

Write down your thoughts/failures and implement them into the process afterward.

Make a process in a way, that a person you'll (potentially) outsource it to will know reasonably well what to do.
Bonus tip: @NotionHQ databases are epic for using and maintaining processes.

Thanks for reading!

Ten months ago, I've started learning about making websites.

Today, I work full-time as a freelance web designer.

I've learned a ton and want to share the knowledge.

So you can start making beautiful landing pages and make an easy $1000 per month.

// A THREAD //
The internet is full of terrible landing pages.

Owners of those lose hundreds of $.

Every. Single. Minute.

Solution?

Someone who will offer them a better landing page for a fraction of what it will save them (often in the first month).

That someone maybe you.
What will you learn?

- How to create a working landing page from scratch
- Design basics
- How to do outreach and communicate with clients

We will use Elementor+ (drag and drop editor) so no coding skills are needed!

If you are a website designer you are as good as your tools are

Here're some tools I find the most impactful

// A THREAD // Image
Miro is a whiteboard with many relly awesome templates.

I use it for:

1. Filling a lean canvas with the client before we start to do anything
2. We have workflows there, so we know what steps to take when designing a web

Link: miro.com
InVision is whiteboard as well.

I use it for:

1. Creating mood boards
2. Drawing the wireframes
3. Creating the structure (mobile and desktop)

Link: invisionapp.com

PS. The purpose is similar to Miro so you can stick to whatever suits you better. I use both.

It's a Game of Numbers

You don't have to be

- most creative
- most original
- super skilled
- lucky

to make a $2000/month online

You just need to understand the power of math.

// A THREAD //
Say, you start making websites (like me).

It takes you one month to learn the basics and get first reference from a friend who you made websites for free.

Then you start to outreach.

You target cleaning companies and propose a website for $600 ( very cheap)
You are terrible at closing and people don't trust you as you are new

Fortunately, there is still some math to do...

You start to outreach to 15 clients a day first thing in the morning (2 hours)

That's 450 clients/month

Let's say just 10% of them are interested

3 tools that will make you a better copywriter.

Actually much better.

Fast.

// A THREAD //
The Hemingway App

Mr. Hemingway said:
“Imagine that you take every word from a place where a word costs you $1”

Hemingway app will help you to get rid of useless fluff.

I use it for the first round of editing and couldn't recommend it more.

2. Grammarly

Make sure there are no typos in your copy.

Grammarly is a super user-friendly way how to do that.

There is also a chrome extension that allows you to review your texts (tweets included) as you write them.
