@masonwenlaunch You should build a system that keeps the work still going even when you're not active here.
Anyways, wishing you the best in your wedding and it's preparation

Week 7 of the #FramerChallenge S2: $6,850
Taking off the next 2 weeks starting Friday for the wedding, so revenue will slow before I'm back at it mid-June. Still not sure if I'm on track to hit the $100K goal, but I'll figure that out when I'm back.
Client work - $6,850
Running total: $53,668 — 54% of the total.

@david_bassey_ true. businesses that treat writing as leverage win while those that treat it as filler get ignored.
English
Every business needs writing.
The ones that figure how to use it effectively:
- sell their services without sounding salesy
- build a solid brand that works for them
- become the go-to choice in their niche
The ones that don't usually end up creating contents with no positioning behind them.
Good writing is not just communication, it is leverage.

Some designers spend more time prompting than actually designing.

I just packaged 102 viral writing templates into 5 Claude Skills.
This is everything you need to:
• Write scroll-stopping hooks
• Create X content for yourself
• Ghostwrite content for high-paying clients
Comment "social" and I'll send it across (for free).

@pizzaboy I guess hiring is as hard as believing anyone on LinkedIn.

@adriankuleszo @designme Love this.
Congratulations on this milestone, Adrian.

Meet the new @designme
This redesign has been on the backlog forever.
Client work always came first, the team was busy, and our own site kept getting pushed to “later”.
So I finally sat down and built it myself.
Took 4 weeks and roughly 300 hours.
But it’s finally live.
The old site did the job, but it didn’t really show what DesignMe has become.
The new site has 41 pages, 8 articles, deeper case studies, clearer services, and a much better foundation for where we’re going next.
Really proud of the team and how far we've come.
No more single landing pages and sticky sidebars.
And this is just the beginning ↓

Happy children’s day to all the cuties around the world.
If you woke up in the morning and found your cute kid locked in on here, what would you do?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@KrisAnfalova The design industry is being raided by design thieves.
Really sad.

Found a "designer" who stole my shot, cropped my name, and claimed it. Turns out their entire portfolio is stolen from other designers. 🤦♀️
Friendly reminder: this is my original work (attached). Always ask for proof of work before ordering a design!

Most design agency founders treat content like it’s just a creative task.
But in reality, it’s an operational one.
I had a conversation with a design founder recently, and he said:
“For me, X is currently more about self-discipline for daily posting than actual work or business.”
That mindset is the problem.
Content is no longer just a side activity or something you do when inspiration comes.
It’s one of the easiest ways to sell to your target audience, build trust at scale, and position your brand consistently online.
The founders winning today treat content like part of the business operation itself.
Here’s a simple system you can follow to make content easier and more sustainable:
David Bassey 🦄@david_bassey_
Content easily scales your design business more than anything else Yes, you're a designer. Yes, visuals are your greatest strength. But visuals are no longer enough. Everyone has access to good tools now, including the freelancer who started designing last year. So what actually distinguishes you? Positioning. Experience. Perception. And content is one of the easiest ways to build and communicate all three. How? - Educational content: The best sales often doesn't feel salesy at all. People naturally resist being sold to. Teach something about your workflow, design thinking & pain points, etc. The more you teach, the more people assume you are knowledgeable, and the more you seem like a solution. - Authority content: This kind of content builds trust and credibility. Share your business journey, client work, systems, process, team operations, case studies, wins, and lessons from experience - Personality content: People connect with people, not portfolios alone. Your experiences, beliefs, struggles, journey, and communication style make your brand memorable beyond the visuals. As an extra: - Subjective/ contrarian takes: From my experience with clients, many are afraid of being called out cos of their philosophies. So they rather be like the bandwagon. Your independent thinking is an edge for you when sharpened well. Do it well and you attract people who align with your perspective. Design agency founders... A design business today is no longer built on good design alone. Design gets people interested. Content makes them trust you, remember you, and eventually buy from you.

@Brave_josh1 Honestly, no matter how long you work for someone, you'll never make enough to get financial freedom.
English
I spent 16 years of my life working in traditional jobs with nothing to my name
Even though I worked in top industries like banking & finance, FMCG, hospitality, and security
I couldn't boast of anything cause 95% of what I was earning was going back into transportation and clothing to look good as a banker
The other 5% wasn't even enough to do anything for myself or keep up with life generally.
But after I made the decision to transition into crypto in 2019
Trust me aside from the assets I have to my name right now
I have developed capacity to learn new things daily, network with people I bever would have imagined if I was still in the 9-5 system
Also, building an agency and charging in 7 figures wouldn't have been thought about cause my thinking in the traditional space was just too low
Like you mentioned if you choose to make a career from this space then you've got to stay locked in
Cause without that focus it will be difficult to make anything good from here beyond the degens, trading or airdrop.

This is bullshit imo There’s almost 0 value in having a real job right now if your goal is financial freedom and I’m tired of seeing people who already make a lot of money (not only wale here) say that you should do crypto “on the side” Yes if you look at this as an investment then by all means don’t renounce a stable income in the hope that you’re gonna make “easy money trading”. Those days are gone But if you look at this as a career and as an investment in yourself and you think you got what it takes, then by all means go all in Because most people who made something out of this (wale included) have taken that leap of faith And yes it’s different now as compared to 2021 but at the same time if you believe in yourself, you invest in yourself and you want financial freedom, probably the best decision you can take is to quit your job and go all in here IMPORTANT: your personal circumstances must dictate what you can and can’t do. when you have a family to support and people depending on you is not the same thing as not giving fuck in your 20s. This should be common sense

Week after I quit my 9-to-5:
- Already working on a client Framer project.
- 3 leads from X.
- 2 more leads from my personal network.
- Planning my first template.
This is just week one.

@Marii_crypt 1 year? For a crypto job, that's really rare to see.
Well-done, Mary.

one year in, and this is my longest client contract yet.
it hasn't been smooth sailing
crypto jobs can be extremely volatile lol, and there were moments i feared losing this one too.
but he stayed. through the uncertainty, through my hard seasons of rebuilding from scratch.
here's what one year managing his socials from 10k to 40k taught me:
your value isn't just in deliverables. it's in the relationship you build around them.

@VadimCarazan This is the loop I've seen most designers stuck in. You make everything clean but to your own taste and forget you aren't even the end user.
Design for and with the user at heart!
PS: Love the designs of the house.
English
while finishing my house the interior designer suggested something “because it will look great in photos.”
that was a wake-up call.
too many designers design for their portfolio, not for the client. the best work I’ve ever done was never the most award-worthy. it was the most useful.
