[💡wfunhome] Tuesday Tools Roundup 🛠️ (October 10 Edition)
Oct 10, 2023 12:01 am
Yo Work Fun Nation,
It’s time for another Tuesday Tools Roundup, where I share Tools and Apps that I’ve personally tested, so you don’t have to!
Here’s how this goes. Every Tuesday, I’ll share only a couple of tools para you don't go insane.
Marami talagang basura apps out there that don’t really work and are just cashing in on the gold rush that is AI (sometimes, they're just calling it AI-powered daw kahit hindi naman.)
Ako na mag-reresearch kasi hobby ko talaga mag-discover the apps.
I’ll share only the stable ones that won’t likely go out of business agad and those that have huge potential kahit bago, and are truly useful for Pinoy freelancers like us.
Got it? Good.
Showspace is a website that offers FREE portfolio creation powered by AI.
How is it useful for us?
It helps freelancers showcase their work and accomplishments in a professional and effective way. No arte included.
Freelancers can easily build their portfolios and create projects in minutes, not months or years, with the help of AI. The platform also provides features to control who sees their work and track when their portfolio gets viewed.
HINT: pwede mo lagay sa LinkedIn mo to and trigger lead gen workflows.
It also stops you from overthinking too much.
Lastly, many freelancers in the Philippines have a tendency to underestimate their value and lack an understanding of their worth.
Showspace aims to showcase the significance of their own achievements and encourage them to compete with candidates from established companies.
Price: FREE
Decktopus.com is a website that helps people create professional presentations and documents easily.
If you're the kind of freelancer na mahilig mag present, palaging nauutusang gumawa ng presentation, or you get paid to present, this can be a huge time-saver.
Last September 22 I was asked to speak online in front of a group of medical oncologists (Doctors specializing in cancer treatments). Mga 40+ silang nag-attend, but surprisingly only 3 were not shy lol.
Eto yung output ng Decktopus:
To be honest the slide design wasn't really that good. I still switched to Canva to make it look like this:
I also used ChatGPT to give me a cool-sounding talk name, hahaha.
But I used Decktopus pa din (the FREE Credits) kasi their research and notes are really spot on, and you can really target your audience properly, and even get a presentation specifically for the length of time you have to talk.
Super useful pa din kahit baduy yung visuals haha.
PRICE: $14.95 a month (not sulit at this point) but you have free credits of up to 5 Decks. Use the free credits if you need to present in a hurry, lalo pa if may 5-figure paycheck ka for a 45-minute talk. (just saying lang hehe)
And that's it for our tools portion.
Oh yeah, and by the by, so happy na may magstart taking action na from my email yesterday.
One less person na snowflake! Congratulate natin si Cloe! (yun o, special mention hehe)
Para sa mga perfectionists pa din and gusto talaga nila na they're armed with all the best practices and don't want to take too long with trial and error tapos magburn out na before getting their premium clients...
C2GL or Cold to Gold Leadgen is now open!
Ano yang Cold to Gold CoaSh?
This is a 4-week boot camp for freelancers who NEED to have consistent clients and move away from their feast/famine cycles and into their fat pipeline era.
You’ll learn:
Different kinds of outbound and when to use each
Target Dream Client persona build
Basic list building without Sales Navigator
LinkedIn pre-connection strategy to up your acceptance rate
Basic cold emails that get opened
LinkedIn + Cold email outreach flow
Simple scripts that get replies
And that's not all, may after sales support pa sila. Which is really what you want.
You can research the info from different places online, but what's more important is access to the experts and the community of like-minded people. You'll also be in the know sa mga cutting-edge best practices in the industry agad.
Wala nang "I hope the day finds you well" in your emails once you enroll (haha please lang ha)
Short video lessons and hands-on workshops
Private Slack community where you can view the videos, ask questions, vent your frustrations, and share your wins
And support from and with a B2C+B2B Leadgen Community where the magic happens
Kala mo naman sakin to no? hehe
That's not my course guys ha. I simply believe that everyone on my list, including you can benefit.
Especially you nga e, if we're being honest hehe.
It's backed by our email data. Almost 70% of new subscribers who answer my welcome email survey say na inconsistent sila sa prospecting.
Yes, this is also because I'm an affiliate, (just being fully transparent, but if you use my name, I'll get a commish, yehey!) but I would be out of my mind if hindi ko to i-recommend sa inyo guys.
Are you kidding me? this is totally right up our alley to help more Pinoy
freelancers work less and earn more while having fun.
Where's the fun component, you ask?
Kasi if you're not struggling so much with outreach, you'll actually see it like an awesome game, like I do.
I see the challenges as levels sa isang good mystery game, and I'm trying to figure it out like I'm Sherlock Holmes.
Think of it like this:
Parang fitness level mo sya when you're doing things. The more fit ka, the more you enjoy going places and travelling.
For example, hiking up to Mt. Pico de Loro.
It's a relatively easy hike up there and the views are totally amazing. but if hindi ka fit you will totally hate the experience.
Di ko alam why I'm ranting, wala naman actually nag-rereklamo. Hehehe. Ewan ko ba, I find your lack of objections disturbing lang.
Mag-reklamo naman kayo para may pupuntahan mga rebuttals ko hahaha, parang awa mo na ! hehe
I've come prepared pa naman with a laundry list of why this course is important and why you should get it before it closes on Thursday night October 12.
Pero waley e. Kaya ako na lang mag monologue.
I was one of the very first buyers ng course myself, and I liked it so much na meron akong sponsored contest inside of SAAS Marketing PH for 2 lucky people. Find the contest mechanics there na lang.
So uulitin ko lang:
C2GL or Cold to Gold Leadgen is now open!
They close on Thursday, October 12. Use SHODEN sa checkout if you like. Then tell me para I can get you that sweet, secret bonus. hehe
Cheers!
