Something Big Is Coming Up

by

Yesterday, I started working on a mini-course for Glorify that I’m going to give away as a bonus to those who sign up for Glorify.

I’ve just completed the outline and am about to start working on the videos.

I’m considering giving it away either as a bonus or as an email series spread across 12 days.

Or maybe I’ll do both.

It will be free for people who already have Glorify but aren’t sure how to design anything, so it’s geared toward complete beginners. It will also be a bonus for those who are thinking about getting Glorify but haven’t taken the plunge yet.

So, I’m planning to create a page with an opt-in form. People will enter their email and be automatically redirected to another page that says something like this:

“Thanks for signing up! The first video in the 12-part series is on its way to your mailbox. I hope you provided the correct email address so you don’t miss it.

While you’re waiting for the first video to arrive, please note that you’ll need access to the Glorify design tool to follow along.

I know it’s obvious, but just making sure you know that it’s about Glorify (my favorite design tool) and that you’ll need access to it to follow along.

Lucky you, I’m giving away all my bonuses on this page. You can grab them if you haven’t gotten Glorify yet.

If you already have Glorify, then head over to your mailbox and enjoy the first video in the 12-part series.

The subject line will be:

Glorify 101 – 1/12: Getting to Know Glorify

I’m going to walk you through it, help you navigate, show you my favorite features, and give you access to my color palettes and other resources.

Ready?

Then, let’s go!”

I think this is not bad. There is obviously a better way to write such a message, but for now, just to move on and publish it as soon as possible, I’ll leave it the way it is.

Once it’s up, I’ll test it against another version or, based on feedback, change it, rewrite it, add a few things, or do whatever else needs to be done until I write a message that resonates with people and prompts them to take action.

But as I’m saying, for now, it’s alright.

What do you think?

Do you have a better idea?

Is there anything I should include?

Let me know in the comments section.

How I’m Doubling Down and Eliminating Distractions (1 July Update)

by

Alright, here’s the game plan for the second half of the year:

  • Double down on what’s already killing it.
  • Cut out the junk.
  • Amp up the quality of what’s already out there.

    Case in point:

    • My offer for Glorify needs a slick new pitch.
    • The Glorify template website needs a serious facelift.
    • The Giant Swipe File library of magazine ads? It’s moving to Carrd!

    The offer, even though it’s free, needs to hit harder for a specific crowd. I want this resource to be respected, useful, and invaluable — not something that collects dust.

    Beyond that, I’ll be cranking out updates, maintaining, and cooking up new content for my personal blog.

    I’m also gonna let you peek behind the curtain into my “work/design life” with graphic design videos that show you how I craft killer content, ads, and flyers.

    Expect a treasure trove of tips on how to craft stunning images with simple tools like Glorify and more.

    These are gonna be no-nonsense, silent videos where I capture the magic as it happens.

    You’ll be able to grab the templates and do whatever you want with them.

    More…

    Last week, I stumbled on something that knocked my socks off.

    Ever heard of Martijn Doolaard and his jaw-dropping videos? If you haven’t, drop everything and sprint over to his YouTube channel. His videos are nothing short of spectacular!

    I’ve seen a ton of videos, but this is on a whole different level. I haven’t been this fired up and inspired in a long time.

    What gets me pumped, besides the breathtaking locations and the idea of living a simpler, more fulfilling life, is the sheer quality of his content.

    The storytelling is on another planet. The way he shoots his videos — the framing, the angles, the overhead shots, the colors, every tiny detail, including the sound and music in the background — made his videos my go-to whenever I’m overwhelmed, stressed, and need a breather.

    Even though it’s not about graphic design, making money online, or business in general, I’ve pulled dozens of business lessons from it.

    More importantly, it’s a wake-up call that one day we’re gonna be burried under the ground. Watching Martijn chase his dream is more than just inspiring.

    Alright, enough chit-chat. Time to get back to work.

    Here’s what’s on the plate for this week…
