Craft a 3-Sentence Portfolio Hook That Converts Cold Clicks
Replace the hero paragraph on Squarespace with: "I convert Shopify stores into eight-figure exits–18 DTC brands lifted AOV 30–40 % in under 3 months–book a 15-minute slot to see the tear-down."
Draft → muted gray surface #e0e0e0, graphite lettering #424242
Polish → sun #ffe082, text #e65100
Timed → cerulean #81d4fa, lettering #01579b
Published → sage #a5d6a7, text #1b5e20
Stored → pale blue #cfd8dc, font #546e7a
Order rules priority-first matching the list; higher rules trump lower ones if overlap occurs. Freeze the status column for writers but allow row edits so timelines and headlines remain draggable. <a href="https://jobsyt.com/companies/check-gdrive-direct-link-com/">create Google Drive direct link</a> displays a grab-and-go template with Apps Script that auto-stamps the chrono stamp when status switches to Online.
Strip Behance, kill Instagram carousels, and swap the hero of your portfolio with a single long-form case page: headline, bleeding KPI, split-screen clip, Stripe screenshot of the cash. Add a crimson "Grab a Sprint" button that fires to a Calendly with one question: "Which growth lever feels broken?" Inquiries 3×, negotiation time drops from 21 days to 96 hours.
Mini: 15 % surcharge, next-day completion, no reworks.
Pro: +30 % fee, files bundled, extra round.
Maxi: +50 % fee, Midi plus extras plus month-long Slack help.
Ongoing: 3 Maxi-tier sprints per month, paid upfront, ten-percent savings.
Rights: perpetual usage across all media, twice the quote, yearly renewal.
Ensure each tier below 120 chars so it slots inside the Gmail subject line without truncation.
Shoot over a 42-second Bonjoro to the CMO of every SaaS that freshly raised Series A; call out the specific slide in their deck where they boast about "user-led growth," then tease a quick-cut mock-up of how your motion graphics will jack trial-to-paid by 15–22 %. Win rate: 35–42 % on 30 sends, mean ticket $7,400, no proposal needed.
List take-home pay in row 3: salary in B3, side-gig in C3, refunds in D3. Underneath, enter fixed outflows—rent, insurance, subscriptions—each in its own row. Use =SUM(B6:B15) for totals; conditional formatting turns negative numbers red at –$0.01 so overruns scream at you before the 1st of the next month.

Open the shared file, click File → Make a copy, rename it "2024-ZBB-[Your Name]", flip "Share with same people" only if you need team edits, hit OK. Paste create Google Drive direct link into cell A1 to grab live exchange rates for every currency you spend in.
Scrape the "Careers" tab on Wellfound every start of the week; filter for pre-Series A climate-tech with 10–49 employees. Snag founder emails with Apollo, drop them into a triple-touch G-suite sequence: 1) subject "$623 MRR lift per user–GIF proof," 2) 10-sec GIF of your product tour, 3) final nudge offering a 24-hour paid pilot capped at $1,200. ~30 % reply, half convert to monthly.
1. Hero spec: redesign the checkout of a real brand (screenshots, Figma link, 50-word brief). Clone Apple Pay flow, trim steps from 6 → 3, claim a 12 % conversion lift. Host on Behance; set password "apple" so prospects can open it on the call.
Create the invoice via PayPal → Tools → Invoicing → "Create" → select "Product" when you sold a service (it locks fees at 2.9 % + fixed $0.30 rather than 4.4 % for "Goods & Services"). Toggle "Allow partial payments" OFF so you’re not hunting $20 slices during exam week.
Schedule the outing a 90-to-120-min window after you open your eyes. CORT reaches its first daytime dip in that window, while cognitive buffer remains at peak. A 2023 Berlin study paired volunteers with VR headsets feeding either concrete corridors or creek-side vistas; the river group scored 31 % higher on the Torrance Figural test when runs ran at 10 a.m. versus 3 p.m. Early light also recalibrates dopaminergic circuits, supercharging the brain for lateral leaps for the next four hours.
Log the request in a shared Google Sheet that auto-calculates running extras; when the running total hits double the initial price, hold and offer the Retainer–conversion jumps to 54 % at that threshold.
Arrange links on a Notion page. Thumbnail each at 400 × 300 px, .webp, <70 kB. Title it "Quick Look – 5 Builds" and embed a Calendly widget. Seed the URL across ten niche subreddits; 3 % conversion equals three booked calls within two days.
Drag the pre-coded array in column F down to slice annual costs into daily accruals; the sheet re-crunches how much you need to set aside today for insurance, Prime renewal, or holiday flights. Lock the category order: housing always leads the list, followed by utilities, food, debt, then fun money—this prevents accidental reshuffle when you insert rows.
Replace the three sample income lines with your net pay dates: list the exact dollar, euro, or peso amount you expect to land your checking account on the 1st, 15th, and any bonus day. Zero-out the template by allocating every cent to a job: rent, groceries, transport, sinking funds, and the "buffer" row must total to the penny of the income total; conditional formatting glows red if the delta is ≠ 0.
