Find The Winner…Designing An Ad For Myself

by

Another fantastic Glorify Sunday morning session… this time featuring images of myself…

What would I do if I had to create an ad for myself to appeal to small business owners and encourage them to hire me?

What kind of images would I need to create?

Excellent question…

And so, I got to work.

My girlfriend took photos of me. I edited those photos in Lightroom and then imported them into Glorify.

Even though I like all of them, I would probably more variations of the same designs, write different copy, try different headlines and then test them first.

Find out which one works best, gets most responses from people through comments, likes, and questions… and based on that, determine which one to use for a real ad.

Because sometimes we think (and I’m as guilty of it as anyone else) that we’ve hit a home run, only to realize that it’s the worst performer and no one likes it.

So…

I suppose the lesson for today is…

TEST IT…

See how your market, people in your niche respond to it first before you invest a significant budget, only to realize it didn’t work.

And if it doesn’t work, change the message, change the design, change the color palette… whatever it takes until you find the winner.

Anyway…

Here is what I’ve designed this morning.

Now…

Do you want me to share this Glorify project file with you as a Glorify template? I could turn it into a template and give it to you.

If yes… hit me up.

Comment “find the winner” below and I’ll send it to you.

You’ll need those two fonts uploaded in your Glorify Brand Kit.

  • Heading Now,
  • Knockout Bold

…before you can use this project, otherwise it won’t work.

Publishing Is Like A Drug

by

Have you seen the video when Russell Brunson talks about one of the most powerful secret in marketing – making him who he is today… 

What’s the secret?

Publishing!

Here is the thing about publishing you don’t know about… 

When you publish consistently for at least 365 days you not only build a powerful habit but your audience is going to notice that you’re a serious player and they’re more likely to stick around…

Publishing for a long time will refine your style… you’ll also find your voice which for some is a taboo…

Once I heard that publishing everyday is like a drug…

Skip once and start feeling the widraws…

And so anyway…. 

Here is the quick tip…

Keep publishing everyday… 

Consistency is key here. 

Libor…

P.S. You could use something like Systeme.io to start your free blog and start publishing right away. 

Why Systeme and not WordPress or any other blog platforms out there? 

Because it’s easier to use… and not as technical as wordpress.

You can have a free landing page, up to 2000 subscribers on your list, build 3 sales funnels, create a course, have unlimited storage space, set up an order bump, 24/7 email support… 

…even use your own domain name… 

And you can have all of it, everything I mentioned here for zero…

TOTALY FREE! 

No more excuses… saying things like… ohhh this is too expensive because it’s not. 

IT’S FREE for you to start publishing, build your email list of subscribers, and make muney selling whatever you want to sell and begin your journey with what I believe is the best all-in-one tool out there. 

The choice is yours.

Yesterday, even though it was my birthday, I worked my ass off to finish this opt-in page, which I had committed to completing by the end of the week.

The idea is to get you on my email list and start sending you valuable content…

Why an email list?

Simply because it’s a better medium for communication: more reach, consistency, automation, deliverability, and a few other reasons.

For example…

I could create a mini-course on what to NEVER do when crafting images for your landing pages… and then show you what I’ve been doing and take you through the steps.

  • How to plan and design 30 days’ worth of content in Glorify.
  • How to design pro-level product images in lightning speed.
  • What actually makes your social media content turn heads.

I’m 42 today 

by

To be honest with you, I don’t care about age… it’s just a number.

Sometimes I feel it here and there, especially after my inline skating sessions, but compared to when I was 38, I feel great!

You see, when I was 38, I looked like crap, ate like crap, and had almost zero energy most of the day.

Now, I’m killing it!

Anyway, I just want to encourage you. If you think 42 years is old and your life is over, think again.

Think of Donald Fisher and his Gap clothes… he started after he turned 40 with absolutely zero experience in retail.

How about Sam Walton, whose real success began at the age of 44 when he founded the first Wal-Mart?

Or Henry Ford, who was 45 when he created the revolutionary Model T car…

And a ton of more examples…

The thing is, you can become a badass motherf**ker 6 months from now if you give it a shot.

I’ve got way more energy now than when I was 38, and all I did was change three things:

  1. How I sleep. I added an hour to my sleeping schedule.
  2. I started inline skating.
  3. And I eat a bit better. Nothing too crazy.

And that’s it.

So don’t beat yourself up if you’ve just turned 42.

Life ain’t over yet…

Go out there and make shit happen.

Promised Glorify Template Ready For Download…

by

About two weeks ago, I found this quote that I really liked:

“CHANGE WHO YOU ARE ON THE INSIDE TO CREATE THE LIFE YOU WANT ON THE OUTSIDE.”

I liked it so much that I decided to do something with it.

So, I opened my trusty old swipe file with all the magazine ads I’m talking about, like a broken radio that you should start building for yourself…

…and while I was scrolling through those magazine ads, I stumbled upon an idea that developed into this quote-style design.

And then, I liked it even more and decided to expand on it by trying different color palette variations and now I’m giving it away as a template.

The fonts you’ll need to upload into your Brand Kit for it to work are called:

  • Heading Now
  • Matter

If you don’t want to pay for the Matter font, just use another one like Work Sands or Montserrat.

Anyways…

Download this template right now before the edges burn; Watch out though, it’s hot and high in demand…

Download it here for free:

https://app.glorify.com/file/1115496

By the way, just to be clear… the link is also my affiliate link, meaning I’ll get a commission if you decide to join Glorify using the link above.

If you already have Glorify, you have nothing to worry about. Just click the link above and download the template.

Make something good out of it…

Recent Glorify Session… Question Answered!

by

Recently, I designed this simple FB post and received some questions…

One of them was about the color palette…

To which I replied…

The color palette is taken from an ad that used to run in one of the outdoors magazines.

I took a screenshot and opened it in Glorify, where I used the color picker to sample the colors and create my own version of the color palette.

It’s something you can do when you see colors you really like.

Now, to take it a step further, add it to your “Brand Kit” so that you can use it in any project.

If you do that, it will appear in your libraries under the Brand Kit –> Brand Palettes panel.

Select your canvas, go to your brand Kit, Brand Pallets and click few times on the color pallet you’ve just added and see how it changes the look and feel of your design.

Personally, it’s my favorite feature in Glorify.

But anyway…

The takeaway from this short message is…

Have a swipe file of great ads, designs, and create color palettes from it, and then use them in your projects.

For more great tips and hot Glorify tutorials, hop on my email list.

It’s where I share what I learn about graphic design, design tools like Glorify, and what makes great design great… to join in, click the link below…

This post turned into a lesson quickly

by

On August 14th…

Exactly 2.7 months ago, my angel and I got together. It’s our 31st month and it feels like we just started.

Since the time I started pursuing her to this day, there hasn’t been a significant fight or anything that would force us apart. It’s like we’re meant to be for each other.

It’s a weird thing because we’re both from completely different backgrounds, and somehow, despite our differences, we connected and have been living together since the beginning of our relationship.

But why am I telling you this?

Here’s the lesson…

About 3 years ago, I started visualizing her in my life… in all kinds of situations. I would sit down, sometimes for 30 minutes, sometimes for an hour, every day.

Anything from traveling to remote places to hiking mountains and swimming in lakes, to living in a house together. Every spicy, kinky pleasure you can imagine… you bet, I dreamt about it.

And guess what?

It happened.

We’re celebrating 2.7 months together.

We live together in a house.

We travel 2-3 times a year.

We play with each other like two horny teenagers.

We have fun together.

And so, here’s to say…

If you can visualize it, you can have it.

You must have heard that saying before…

I believe it’s true, but here is something you must understand…

You can’t just visualize and hope for the best…

You’ll have great dreams but unless you lift your butt cheeks off the couch and start doing the necessary work to get you where you want to be or the life you want to have, nothing will happen.

So… (and this is the key), instead of visualizing the green pastures and hoping for the best, that one day everything will fall into place, visualize all the hard work that you’ll have to do.

Make a plan, and every day after your important visualization session, accomplish something that day.

Learn how to manage yourself!

If you have bad habits, focus on that first. Change them.

From morning to evening, there is plenty of time, even if you’re working full time, I can guarantee you can find an hour or two to work on your dream.

Whatever the dream is…

Remember, small actions every day will pile up… eventually becoming big things.

But anyway…

Just sharing what I would do and am actually doing right now as I’m building my base online… and learning all these skills like copywriting, social media, graphic design, and how to become a better human being.

It takes time… perhaps a whole life.

But it starts with knowing what you want.

You Don’t Need Photoshop!

by

“How long will it take me to learn Photoshop?”

Well, take a seat, dear friend, because you’re in for quite the journey.

I won’t sugarcoat it—diving into Photoshop, messing with displacement maps, and mastering all those tools (the Pen Tool being the trickiest) or even the simpler tasks like selecting and removing backgrounds from images… it felt like having my wisdom teeth pulled out.

Not the most seksiest thing to play with.

But as with anything worth learning, it’s tough at first before it becomes easier.

Fortunately, you’re in luck.

Nowadays, you don’t have to spend weeks, months, or years trying to master Photoshop to create stunning, high-converting images for your social media, websites, or landing pages.

No, there are much simpler, less complex, and faster solutions out there.

Take Glorify, for example.

This tool emerged seemingly out of nowhere, delivering a powerful punch like a heavyweight champion, and quickly becoming my favorite design tool.

It didn’t take long for me to fall in love with it, and now, I use it 98% of the time. It’s straightforward, it’s fast, and it comes with pre-designed templates that are stunning.

So, even if you’re not a seasoned designer, you can effortlessly create beautiful, eye-catching images with just a few clicks.

As for me, I prefer designing everything from scratch, as you can see in the examples below.

You won’t find such designs in the template library.

This is fantastic news because if you choose any of my templates, you’re guaranteed unique, one-of-a-kind designs that you can easily customize and make your own.

Let me explain what I’m going to do.

Soon, I’m going to send an email to my subscribers with about 70% of my new Glorify templates and give them away for FREE.

This promotion will last for 3 consecutive days. There will be a timer, and when it hits zero, the templates will vanish from the internet, much like a dark cloud after a heavy storm.

You won’t find them anywhere else!

I’m orchestrating it this way because I want dedicated individuals to use them, and I don’t want them to become overused.

So, if you’re not on my list, you’re going to miss out.

01 Glorify Design Session (Template Bundle Coming Up)

by
Glorify templates

Another interesting design from yesterday’s Glorify session.

Somehow, I ended up finishing a project an hour earlier and took that time to design this quote I found in my personal swipe file.

Something I wrote about yesterday.

If you don’t have your personal swipe file and are constantly building it up, adding things to it that you like or things that inspire you, you’re simply missing out…

Not just for the fact that it helps you find new ideas but also, you get a glimpse into what’s working right now.

What people are sharing…

What quotes have been reposted over and over again.

So, no matter from what angle you’re looking at it, building your own swipe file is a must in my opinion.

What I would suggest here is that you start collecting ads, quotes, posts that have big engagement, were either shared a ton of times or liked, or both, and then take inspiration from them.

Actually, anything that went viral, I would collect and see if I could grab some ideas from it… or even recreate it in my own style…

It’s a strategy taught in many courses I went through in the last year… like the 7-Day Shift that teaches you everything you need to know to create viral 7-second videos and what to do with all the followers, where to send them, how to interact with them, and how to set up an automated system that sends pre-written emails for you – promoting high ticket products that will earn you $1600 every time someone purchases through your link…

And guess what?

Once you have it all set up… you can go into your swipe file and start piggy-backing from viral videos, posts, or anything that had high engagement… and then remake it in your own style…

But more about it in the course…

In case you’re interested, I’ll leave a link below.

https://liborbednarik.com/7dayshift

Yes, it is my affiliate link.

P.S. Let me know what you think about the design? Is there anything you would have done differently? Soon, I’ll be sharing a full set as a template with all the pre-designed elements and sizes. When it’s done, I’ll write a quick note and let you know where to get it.

Have fun!

Are You Building Your Swipe File?

by
Swipe File Design

Sometimes I’m surprised by how far I can go in seeking design inspiration.

Take my swipe file, for example…

It took me years to build and contains heaps of great ads I love diving into and trying to understand, especially on Sundays when I’m planning my next week’s worth of content and the things I’m going to design. But even for fun, or purely for entertainment purposes, this swipe file is the number one resource for me, and it always gives me a ton of new ideas for projects…

Whether it’s client work or my own, it doesn’t matter; having such a resource has been life-changing.

Right now, I’m building another swipe file for another passion of mine: sales funnels, opt-in pages, OTO’s, and anything that could inspire me when crafting a new offer.

Anyway…

If you’re into something you love, why not create your own swipe file? On days when you don’t feel like it or can’t seem to come up with anything of value, you can open it up and instantly get flooded with tons of new ideas.

It works like magic.

Give it a shot…

The speech That Turbocharges My Productivity!

by

Few months ago, very close friend of mine sent me a video of Joe Rogan inspiring the living hell of everyone… And I wanted to share it with you because it’s something I’m listening to every morning now, and it makes a ton of differnce in how I tackle my tasks for the day… 

And I’m positive, it’s gonna jumpstart your creative juices too if you give it a shot. 

Watch it… 

It’s short. 

And then watch it again and let it sink. 

If you wonder what’s my numero uno productivity tool that let me keep track of my daily tasks… here is your answer. It’s called Blitzit.app and it’s AWESOME!

5 Color Pallets I Use Instead Of Pure Black

by

I don’t know about you, but pure black is a color I like to stay away from, for one simple reason… If it’s against white, it tends to strain my eyes.

Don’t get me wrong, I can think of examples where pure black is awesome and looks amazing, but as I’m saying, I’ve found a few other colors that I prefer.

It’s a matter of personal choice.

Nothing more.

And so, here are the color palettes I use in Glorify, and I highly suggest adding them into your brand kit.

Starting with…

Demonic

Shadow

Bunker

Cave

Your welcome.

I found they work great in gaming, stargazing, motivation, coding, web design, encryption, hackers, data protection, photography and few dozens of other niches…

The 5 Day Offer Challenge Bonus Arrived!

by

A few months ago, I joined Steven’s 5-day offer challenge and received several bonuses, one of which was this community-driven “Capitalist Pig” t-shirt that has already offended a few people in my circle…

Are you planning to wear this t-shirt?

Hell yeaaaaaah…

And there’s nothing you can do about it…

Yesterday, my girlfriend took a few photos of me wearing it. I then took them into Glorify and turned them into this…

But it ain’t about the t-shirt… It’s about what Steve has done for me… Because what I have learned in the last few months alone is priceless and well worth anyone’s time.

I have only great things to say about this 5-day offer challenge.

After testing a few offers and receiving real feedback, I’m finally on the right track.

There’s no point in spending three months building something no one wants.

First, validate your ideas before you spend months on them…

And then build them…

Rolling Into Monday…

Rolling into Monday with ideas for new design projects.

One of them is for a 7-day course… (a deep dive into a strategy that has put more money into my pocket than anything else I’ve done since I started online.)

Can’t wait to check it off my list… using the one and only, absolutely a beast of a productivity tool there is… Blitzit.app
