Avoid These 5 Mistakes While Creating Your Career Portfolio

How would you feel when you get to know you missed deserving opportunities just because of a few minor mistakes?

Frustrating? Angry? Self-doubting?

You don't get to feel any of those negative emotions that's why I am here to help you pointing out mistakes you should avoid before you miss the chance.
1. Not adding email or WhatsApp in your bio

This is the first and foremost thing you should be doing while creating your portfolio, add your email and WhatsApp number or social profile links in your bio. 

What will be the point of putting hard work into creating an attention-grabbing portfolio if you don't give the visitor your point of contact? 

Here is how you can add your email/WhatsApp to your portfolio

Go to Edit Profile -> Social Links section -> Click on drop-down -> Click on Add after filling the input field
2. Publishing Proof of Work without description

Let's play a quick quiz, which one would you trust more? A or B?

The obvious answer would be "B", right?

The same thing happens when a client or an employer discovers your portfolio. A well-documented work always gets prioritized.
3. Mentioning private links in the portfolio

There are many portfolios we have come across that haven't made their work link publicly accessible.

These minor mistakes cost badly, so please check them whenever you are publishing any new work in your portfolio.
4. Keeping your best Proof of Work privately

Always prioritize showcasing your best work to the public, you have no idea how many opportunities passed your way because they didn't see something appealing in your portfolio.

Instead of keeping your best work private, please them on platforms like Fueler, so that your potential clients can discover you through your work and can reach out to you for opportunities.
5. Lengthy bio

No one is interested in reading 100s of lines in your bio, you only have 3-5 seconds to tell the visitor who you are, and what you do. Here is an example,

I have been helping people in setting up an impressive portfolio which has helped them grab well-paying opportunities. Let's get on a call if you are also facing any challenges. Book a free call.

Make Your First $100 Online

Making money on the internet looks easy until you start making it by yourself.

If you search for ways to make money on the internet, you will discover ways like starting a YouTube channel, drop shipping, affiliate marketing, starting your own blog, etc.

These ways were working a decade ago, because there was less competition on the internet. Today if you open YouTube, you will get to know 3 out of 10 people have a YouTube channel, same goes with blog, affiliate, drop shipping, etc.

I won’t say this book will help you discover easy ways to make money on the internet, but I would definitely say that if you choose to pursue any ways from this book, you will start making money within.

In this book, you will get to discover 15 ways through which you can start making money on the internet.

Apart from ways to make money, you will get to know about the skills, inspirations, websites, and the road map to making $1M after you make your first $100 on the internet.

Also, there is a surprise in the last chapter of the book 🎁
What makes you eligible for this guide?

If you are someone who is currently learning a monetizable skill or already has a monetizable skill, you can benefit from this book.
What the heck is “Monetizable skill” now?

Monetizable skills are those kinds of skills for which you can make money, a skill through which you can solve a problem, and for that person with a problem will pay you a certain amount of money.

For example, writing is a monetizable skill, how?

There is a startup who is starting to market their product and they are looking for someone who can write blog, website content, marketing content for their startup, if you are someone who has writing skill you can help them and get paid for that.
Why did I mention eligibility for this book?

The reason behind mentioning eligibility is to make this guide actionable. There are thousands of blogs, books, videos out there on the same topic, but to follow them you need lots of prerequisites.

But, if you satisfy the eligibility of this book, you don’t need any prerequisites to take action.

Just pick the ideas, execute them, and start making money. This isn’t as easy as it sounds, but at the same time, it isn’t as complex as start making money by drop shipping.

*I am not against any of the ways mentioned on the internet, I am just sharing my views on their execution. 
How did I make my first $100 on the internet?

This is a frequent question I have been getting in the last 2 years.

You should be also asking this question whenever you choose to follow any advice on the internet:
Who is this person?

Does he have proof of action?

Has he applied the advice to themselves before sharing it with the world?

There are millions of fake gurus out there who have advice on any problem you have.

So, be aware of what advice, thoughts, and insights you are signing up for.

My journey of making money on the internet started with App Development. I was that kid who used to stay outside class instead of caring about marks and attendance.

After learning Android app development, I started looking for ways to make money out of this skill and exploring multiple ways like landing a remote internship, fixing issues in Apps through Upwork, and taking freelance projects.

Finally, I got multiple clients who paid $5, $10, $15 for minor projects. Starting from there, in August 2019 I landed my first freelance project that paid $500 to develop the user interface of an app.

This is how my journey to making money on the internet started and those days to today I haven’t looked at traditional ways to make money.

The internet has been a true blessing for me and millions of other individuals who have been living a great life by making money on the internet.

If you were to ask how much money I have made in the last 4 years, obviously I don’t have the exact count but to give you an idea, I have paid 2.5M debt and am living a minimal life in a metro city of India.

From this you can make a rough guess about the amount of money I have made.

There is a famous line I often go back to “Once you make the $1 on the internet, there isn’t any going back”

With that let’s dive into this book, 

Skills that will help you achieve freedom

There are 100s of skills that can help you make money on the internet, but are those 100s of skills worth giving time to?

So, instead of making you bored by showing a list of 100s of skills, I will give you a framework to pick the skill by yourself.

In the last 1 year, Artificial intelligence has taken over the internet and giving competition to creative individuals. You also have to keep this in mind while picking the skills.

If you are someone who enjoys learning, who loves working on side projects more often, and who doesn’t get bored discussing ideas, you don’t have to worry about Artificial intelligence.

If you are not matching the above criteria, then you need to be serious about taking action towards the right direction and stop procrastinating.
Now, let’s talk about the framework to pick a skill:
Step 1: Identify what your hobby/hobbies are

(If you don’t have any, what are you doing with your life?)
Step 2: Do you have a hobby through which people are making money?

Is it writing, creating art, coding, gossiping, designing, painting, etc?
Step 3: Search on Google “How to make money by _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _” (Writing, Designing, Coding, Making memes, playing video games, gossiping)

*You can do the 3rd step later on, we will be discovering ways to make money based on your hobbies.

Do you have the skill through which you are going to make money on the internet?

How to get a response on your cold email? [With Examples]

How to get a response on your cold email? [With Examples]

If you understand the psychology behind cold emailing, the first and foremost thing is “Be as humanly as possible”, no overacting. Communicate like the recipient is sitting in front of you or in the same room. 

As per a global survey, it takes 8-10 follow-up emails to get a reply from the recipient. 

So, don’t quit super easily, if the deal can make or break your life. 

Meme Life GIF - Meme Life Potato - Discover & Share GIFs

Suppose, you stopped following up after 3rd time, but do you know, that person might be busy, might be involved in unexpected situations?

If you aren’t getting a response after 4-5 follow-ups,

    Write break-up follow-up

What does that mean? 👀

It means you aren’t writing to get a response, you are writing to intrigue them. 

For example, if you write a follow-up like “Hey David, I don’t think you ever will be able to do this level of sales or achieve this milestone”. 

By writing like this, you force them to reply to your mail, it’s a super-effective hack, later you can easily apologise to them and close your deal. 

Next, if the person is not replying to email,

    Connect with them on social platforms

Engage with their content, attract their attention to you and after 4-5 days of active attention-grabbing, tell them about the mail, it’s most likely that they will check the mail and get back to you. 

The next tip is,

    Change your mood

Before today, I also didn’t know what the heck is this? Try to understand it. 

When you write an email to a prospect, along with words, sentences and contexts, it delivers the mood in which you have written that mail. 

Whether you were happy, excited, or cheerful while writing the mail or feeling sad, or not well, it impacts a lot. 

Because, we humans connect with the stories, the energy of others, that’s why it’s being said that, change your mood while writing the mail. And, unimaginably, you will start seeing the result. 

There are sooo many tips to get a response to a cold email, hope you make the most out of these. 

If you are interested in learning more things around sales, you will love this, check it out.

Special thanks to “Vinay Katiyar” and "Dr.Vedant Gosavi" for sharing these insights. 

Thank you for reading. If you liked it, share it with your friends, on social platforms.

Cold Emails: What they are and Why they are not Spam

Cold Emailing is no longer seen by many as an efficient method of outbound marketing because in their views it has been replaced by spam. 

But this is not the case; in fact, a "cold" email message is still a very effective tool for conducting business, nurturing connections, and acquiring clients. Only if you know how to do it, as getting a response to a cold email is not a guarantee: the first rule is to stay out of the spam folder!
What are Cold Emails?

Any email sent to a recipient with whom you have no prior contact is considered a cold email. It is a message that unexpectedly appears in your email Inbox with the primary goal of starting a dialogue and developing a relationship.

Cold Emails have the virtue of being less intrusive and upsetting than telemarketing calls or the start of a personal conversation between two strangers. They may also not explicitly ask for anything other than to start a connection on a particular, constrained topic that the recipient is interested in.

How should a winning cold email be set up?

A basic template for you to take inspiration from can be:

    Initial greeting:  Hello/Greeting + recipient's first name/first and last name
    Introduction: My name is [your name] and I am/cover the role of [title] at [company name]
    Email Body: (e.g.) We have launched a new product/service [explain what it is and what the main features, strengths, and benefits are, why you should try it]
    Closing CTA: Are you available for a meeting/phone appointment on [add date and time]?
    Leave: Thank you for your time/Greetings/Hope to hear from you again soon

Signature with personal other contacts [Phone, Skype, Linkedin]

Not all setups can be the same, but this is certainly useful as a starting point.
Are Cold Emails Spam?

Spam is choking email boxes, and distinguishing between unwanted messages and cold emails that may have a potential interest is by no means simple. 

However, there are substantial differences between the two:

    Spam uses fake sender names
    Spam doesn’t include contact information
    Spam is impersonal and generic
    Spam is not intended to initiate a relationship but to finalize an immediate purchase
    Spam is one-to-many communication; a Cold Email must be one-to-one

Conclusion

Cold Emailing is a tricky acquisition channel that needs practice, expertise, and a certain level of mastery.

Additionally, because it is always changing, it needs to keep its knowledge up to date in order to stay useful in its operations. However, when properly executed, it is one of the most efficient, affordable, and long-lasting strategies to provide B2B leads.

To do it properly and get the best results, it is often a good idea to rely on professionals in the field who can support you in defining the best message.

Where to recruit them? 

There are numerous platforms for recruiting freelance professionals and there you can find a resume of skills, references, and portfolios helping you with hiring the best choice for your strategy.

If you too are a professional or an aspirant in the digital marketing field and think you can make a contribution to interested companies, Create your portfolio on Fueler now and showcase all your skills!

Hey, Rahul here! As a developer, you know that creating a solid portfolio is essential to stand out from the crowd and prove your worth.

I'm here to show you how to create a powerful Proof of Work (PoW) portfolio to back up your skills and demonstrate your capabilities to employers and clients.

In this guide, I'll help you understand what PoW is, the importance of creating a portfolio, and provide the best tips and tricks to ensure your profile stands out.

I assume you have some knowledge of the technical terms and technologies as a beginner, but don't worry - this guide is designed to make it super easy for you to create an awesome PoW portfolio.

So let's get started and show the world what you're capable of!
What exactly is a Developer Portfolio?

As a developer, creating a portfolio of your work is one of the most important things you can do for your career. A developer portfolio, or proof of work, shows potential employers or clients the kinds of projects you've built and the skills you have. It's a chance to showcase your abilities in a visual way.
What to Include in Developer Portfolio Proof of Work?

Development projects are proof of that as a developer you have built them and you understand them. So your proof of work must include all the necessary things like:

    Description: Give your project a description of what the project is about
    Technologies Used: List the technologies you used to build the project, such as programming languages, frameworks, libraries, and tools.
    Open Source: If your project is open source provide the Link of the project inside the description
    Your Role: Explain your specific role in the project, including what you contributed and what your responsibilities were. If you collaborated with someone you can include them in your project then this work will be visible on both of your profiles.
    [Optional]Challenges and Solutions: Highlight any challenges you faced during the project and explain how you overcame them(this can help your client understand how you overcome problems).

These are some common points your proof of work must have, you can add multiple things like if you have worked for a client, if it was a freelance project, etc. The clear the better. Adding these things makes your profile more clean and simple for your client to judge.
How to Create Proof of Work for Developers

As discussed above in the first paragraph, Proof of Work means proof of the work you have done, evidence, or strong work. In this section, I will give you a headstart about publishing your first proof of work as a developer.


Resumes will soon vanish, Do this ASAP to get Jobs and Gigs

Resumes will soon vanish, Do this ASAP to get Jobs and Gigs

Are you worried about your career because you don't have a good resume and think no one will hire you?

Sounds like you? 

What if I told you that in the future, if you want to get a job, no one will ask you for your resume, but they will ask you for your portfolio?

Sounds untrue? Right.

Proof of Work is a revolution that is happening in the way hiring happens, and slowly and steadily, we are moving towards it where people are getting hired based on their portfolio and not their college and resume.

Many startups and big corporations are already on the boat of hiring through Proof of Work.

Subhash Choudhary, the founder of Dukaan hired individuals for intern positions in under just 10 minutes.

    Let's make it happen!! Internship in 10 minutes!

    Cleared my entire calendar for tomorrow and will be doing internship interviews from 11:00 to 9:30 PM.

    Hired or reject on spot.

    24 slots, Book Now.

    — Subhash Choudhary (@subhashchy) March 31, 2022

What do you think about how he must have evaluated the candidates in only 10 minutes?

The short answer is - By looking at their Proof Of Work.

And authors like Austin Kleon predicted this trend in 2014 and wrote a book titled "Show Your Work," dictating the benefits of sharing your work online.

Even many high-profile people claim that resumes are dying, and one's online presence and proof of work is the new age resume.

So, are you ready to jump on this bandwagon or will you stick with the paper resume?
But wait, what is a portfolio in the first place?

You are saying you have a bunch of skills and are good at them. What do you have to prove?

Here comes a proof of work to your rescue, which is the proof that validates whatever you say.

Your portfolio is a collection of all your best work in one place, demonstrating your skills and abilities.

In a nutshell, saying you know something doesn't necessarily mean you have worked on it. Your work speaks on your behalf and showcases how skilled you are in a particular skill, and proves whether you are worth hiring or not.

This approach helps decision makers hire you for what you can show, not what you speak you know. 

Degrees and certifications from institutions show that you know something but do not indicate that you can do something.

You get identified, judged, and hired based on your work portfolio, which shows what you are capable of doing and what value you can bring to the table, not because of your degree or XYZ college.

"I applied for a Social Media Intern position at a company in the Bay Area, San Francisco and the first thing the hiring manager asked me over the email was to share all the work I have done related to the role I was applying for and then the resume."

What does this indicate?

Proof of Work (Show, don't Tell) Concept

Nope, it is not blockchain proof of work concept, but having something to show others that validates your words.

Discovery, as per individual context, is still a big problem, but it is a massive opportunity in any field like career, dating, food, entertainment, essentially anything.

How will you get the opportunities if people are unaware of your existence?

Having proof of work and actively showcasing them on Fueler makes you and your work discoverable by people from all over the world.

    It builds your credibility,
    Attracts inbound opportunities for you,
    Companies and individuals come to you offering work rather than going to them and asking to hire you.

And it's good to see that many startups and companies are taking this new hiring approach through Proof of Work instead of judging you based on degree or certificates.

I even bagged my first paid internship and some paid writing gigs by showing my work actively on LinkedIn and Twitter ~ Aman Aftab

Relevance of Proof of Work in the Gig Economy

Have you ever heard the words "freelancer" or "freelancing"?

I am sure you have.

But before that, What is the Gig Economy?

The Gig Economy is a market where people hire you on a contract basis for some specific temporary work for a particular period. 

Because hiring full-time employees are expensive for companies, they have to give them bonuses, insurance, and pay even when there is no work and a hundred other things burden them.

Hiring a freelancer involves no burden, and the company enjoys a variety of work and talent because each freelancer is hired based on their portfolio.

The number of people shifting towards this unconventional path is steadily increasing as here, 

    You are your boss, and you are in total control of your time.
    You can charge according to your skill sets and the value you provide. 
    You can work from a laptop by sitting anywhere in the world.
    You decide who you want to work with and what you want to work on.

The Global Gig Economy is projected to reach $455 billion by 2023, up from $204 billion in 2018.

That's a whopping 17.4% CAGR in just four years.

And reports claim that the numbers will only increase, and it is considered the future economic backbone.

Have 3 or more types of POW to showcase your ability.

I need to see some variation to understand how good you are at video editing. You don't need to show all of your work. 

Show me the best work and show a lot of it.”

Make Your First $100 Online

Making money on the internet looks easy until you start making it by yourself.

If you search for ways to make money on the internet, you will discover ways like starting a YouTube channel, drop shipping, affiliate marketing, starting your own blog, etc.

These ways were working a decade ago, because there was less competition on the internet. Today if you open YouTube, you will get to know 3 out of 10 people have a YouTube channel, same goes with blog, affiliate, drop shipping, etc.

I won’t say this book will help you discover easy ways to make money on the internet, but I would definitely say that if you choose to pursue any ways from this book, you will start making money within.

In this book, you will get to discover 15 ways through which you can start making money on the internet.

Apart from ways to make money, you will get to know about the skills, inspirations, websites, and the road map to making $1M after you make your first $100 on the internet.

Also, there is a surprise in the last chapter of the book 🎁
What makes you eligible for this guide?

If you are someone who is currently learning a monetizable skill or already has a monetizable skill, you can benefit from this book.
What the heck is “Monetizable skill” now?

Monetizable skills are those kinds of skills for which you can make money, a skill through which you can solve a problem, and for that person with a problem will pay you a certain amount of money.

For example, writing is a monetizable skill, how?

There is a startup who is starting to market their product and they are looking for someone who can write blog, website content, marketing content for their startup, if you are someone who has writing skill you can help them and get paid for that.
Why did I mention eligibility for this book?

The reason behind mentioning eligibility is to make this guide actionable. There are thousands of blogs, books, videos out there on the same topic, but to follow them you need lots of prerequisites.

But, if you satisfy the eligibility of this book, you don’t need any prerequisites to take action.

Just pick the ideas, execute them, and start making money. This isn’t as easy as it sounds, but at the same time, it isn’t as complex as start making money by drop shipping.

*I am not against any of the ways mentioned on the internet, I am just sharing my views on their execution. 
How did I make my first $100 on the internet?

This is a frequent question I have been getting in the last 2 years.

You should be also asking this question whenever you choose to follow any advice on the internet:
Who is this person?

Does he have proof of action?

Has he applied the advice to themselves before sharing it with the world?

There are millions of fake gurus out there who have advice on any problem you have.

So, be aware of what advice, thoughts, and insights you are signing up for.

My journey of making money on the internet started with App Development. I was that kid who used to stay outside class instead of caring about marks and attendance.

After learning Android app development, I started looking for ways to make money out of this skill and exploring multiple ways like landing a remote internship, fixing issues in Apps through Upwork, and taking freelance projects.

Finally, I got multiple clients who paid $5, $10, $15 for minor projects. Starting from there, in August 2019 I landed my first freelance project that paid $500 to develop the user interface of an app.

This is how my journey to making money on the internet started and those days to today I haven’t looked at traditional ways to make money.

The internet has been a true blessing for me and millions of other individuals who have been living a great life by making money on the internet.

If you were to ask how much money I have made in the last 4 years, obviously I don’t have the exact count but to give you an idea, I have paid 2.5M debt and am living a minimal life in a metro city of India.

From this you can make a rough guess about the amount of money I have made.

There is a famous line I often go back to “Once you make the $1 on the internet, there isn’t any going back”

With that let’s dive into this book, 

Skills that will help you achieve freedom

There are 100s of skills that can help you make money on the internet, but are those 100s of skills worth giving time to?

So, instead of making you bored by showing a list of 100s of skills, I will give you a framework to pick the skill by yourself.

In the last 1 year, Artificial intelligence has taken over the internet and giving competition to creative individuals. You also have to keep this in mind while picking the skills.

If you are someone who enjoys learning, who loves working on side projects more often, and who doesn’t get bored discussing ideas, you don’t have to worry about Artificial intelligence.

If you are not matching the above criteria, then you need to be serious about taking action towards the right direction and stop procrastinating.
Now, let’s talk about the framework to pick a skill:
Step 1: Identify what your hobby/hobbies are

(If you don’t have any, what are you doing with your life?)
Step 2: Do you have a hobby through which people are making money?

Is it writing, creating art, coding, gossiping, designing, painting, etc?
Step 3: Search on Google “How to make money by _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _” (Writing, Designing, Coding, Making memes, playing video games, gossiping)

*You can do the 3rd step later on, we will be discovering ways to make money based on your hobbies.

Do you have the skill through which you are going to make money on the internet?

A student being involved in an internship is likely to gain the maximum experience of his life in terms of learning and eliminating the primary mistakes in the future.

Whether an internship is paid, for credit, unpaid or not-for-credit doesn't change its value. Internships are investments for your future. 

Often, students do not want to pursue internships because they worry that they'll be stuck doing boring tasks like getting coffee or making copies and for the main reason no one wants to work for free. The truth is, although not all internships pay in cash they do pay in other ways.

It is important in the following ways:

1. It allows you to do practical things that we're learning in classrooms. Joining a company as an intern gives you the opportunity to work for hands-on in a professional environment. 

2. As an intern, you're not just there to get coffee or run errands but you're there to gain actual work experience. 

3. Internships help by teaching you more about the career path you are pursuing. Think of it like this –internships are a way to test drive possible jobs and explore different career options.

4. It opens several doors of opportunities. Internships provide you with the building blocks you need for your future. 

5. Many internship opportunities help set the foundation for your career. It is important that you choose your internships based on your interests and career prospects. 

As an intern, you have the opportunity to get your foot in the door with a company. Keep in mind that employers often use internships as a recruitment tool to test out future employees and in many cases, companies hire interns after graduation. 

Your mentor at the previous internship might put in a word for you with your next employer because she happens to know her. Likewise, an internship could open many doors for you. Even a recommendation letter works wonders at places.

It gives you a brief scenario of what you are going to face in the future days of your full-time jobs. If you get to snag a beneficial internship, it can be remarkably valuable towards your career. 

An internship enables you to gain first-hand exposure to working in the real world. You can acquire endless amounts of education in your life, however, that knowledge doesn't always translate to the working life. 

One great thing about internships is that it teaches young professionals about the specific industries and companies they are interested in. Even the experience of trying something new is extremely beneficial. A lot of people get stuck in routines, staying in the same town, attending the same schools or surrounding themselves with the same people. 

In a nutshell, doing an internship exposes you to new people in a more controlled and stable environment. Also, it allows you to implement your knowledge in real life and tackle them.

Internships give you a way to utilize your knowledge base, and expand it, by applying it in situations where the outcome is not the number of marks you score in an exam but something that could affect a whole company. Also, it often gives you the opportunity to attend meetings and events. By interacting with professionals you gain new connections and learn how to communicate in a professional environment. 

Hence Internships are must-do for a college student specially when you are in the field of technology and nothing can replace the hands-on experience ever.

Why Promoting Your Work Will Attract Tons of Opportunities For You?

Working on a project is as much important as promoting it and telling people around you about it.

You would never understand the worth of being vocal about your work until you start doing it.

When people around you start discovering through your work and the value you create, they start getting back to you whenever they come across something that you might solve.

In the era, we are living in, you can not predict from which source or direction an opportunity will come to you.

And, that only happens when you start being vocal about the work you do, the projects you build or create.

It’s you who need opportunities, it’s you who need to make dollars, it’s you who have to achieve your dreams.

That surely means it’s you who have to talk about the work you do and the value you can bring to someone else’s life.

With the help of the internet, you will come across thousands of chances to promote your work and whenever you get that type of chance, never ever miss that.

In Startup culture, people call it promoting your work shamelessly

You don’t have to worry about, what others will be thinking about it because it’s your sole reason to do so.

When you start promoting your work, people start interacting with them, connect with you and ultimately help you attract opportunities.

    Whether you design or code or write, everyone of us have something that needs to be shared with the world.

Promoting your work not only helps you attract opportunities but also help you hone your skills and prepare them for market-level projects.

Just imagine for a second, a person came across your work and they find something that can be done in a better way and connect with you to share their suggestions and feedbacks.

In the next moment, you start working on making it better, unbelievable right? 😉

This is the impact of promoting your work and being vocal about it.

Start it as soon as possible, otherwise, you can’t imagine the number of opportunities you are missing out on.

Please do share if there is anything we can help with.

Five Morning Habits of Successful People

We all admire successful people and we often try to read or know something about them but what are exactly those things which make them so successful in their lives and make them so different from normal people?

So today we have come up with the top 5 habits of successful people which contribute to making them successful people.

    Wake up early in the morning!

Sounds so clichè, right? Nobody likes to sacrifice their sound morning sleep. Exactly! Successful people did so, they ditched their morning sleep and chose to wake up early in the morning.

If you can control your morning sleep, then half of the things are already sorted! Start your day from the early morning when the clock strikes at 5 A.M or 6 A.M.

Leave your comfort zone and embrace your morning. Almost 50% of successful people choose to wake up early.

This habit is the most common. Start your day with the peace of morning with your maximum potential.

2. Make your bed, the first thing to do after waking up.

These are the small things that take us toward something big and once you start implementing it in your life; see how your life changes after that.

Start off your morning by making the bed.

We are so accustomed to procrastinating that we often ignore these little things. Add this simple habit and it works like magic.

Make your bed, just after you wake up. It’s your bed from where you start your day and where your day ends with the same spot.

No matter how your day goes, when you come at the end of the day you can peacefully sleep in your tidy bed. This tidy bed will remind you of your small progress, your little accomplishment.

This simple habit says a lot about the person and person’s personality. Making your bed is like accomplishing the first task of the morning.

At the end of the day, these little things matter the most!

3. Be Grateful.

Always be grateful. Take out a few minutes in the morning and count your blessings.

Be grateful for everything in your life, your job, family and everything.

Detox yourself from negative thoughts, start your day with good thoughts.

Breathe. Exhale and spare a few minutes for yourself.

Start your morning with this basic ritual. Add something healthy to your diet, drink water, and juice.

4. Set your goals to prioritise it for the rest of the day.

As we head to our morning schedule, we get so occupied in our work that we often forget essential things.

Before starting your day, make a to-do list of things that you need to do first.

Set your goals, whatever it is, something that you can aim for daily. It will not only make you punctual but also help you to lead a disciplined life.

Make a goal of anything, either writing, reading something or working on your skills. Do set your goal.

5. Do Reading.

This is the other most common habit of successful people. Take a pledge to invest your time into something productive. Reading is not only good for the mind but healthy for the soul.

Learning something good works like manure for the mind.

Mind is like the garden so feed it with good thoughts so that it can help you to garner knowledge, skills and become a better person.

Most people carry books in their bags, whether you are stuck in traffic or standing in a queue, take out your book and use your time in a productive way.

Well, it sounds hard but it works effectively if you start implementing it in your daily life.

Once you are determined towards your goals nothing is going to stop you. Do adopt these habits in your daily life and make your life better. Who knows the next successful person would be you?



Hangout with people who you are dreaming to become

Hangout with people who you are dreaming to become

It’s very simple to understand for them who have experienced this in their life but at the same time very complex to understand for them who are unaware of this and how much impact this can create.

Don’t worry, let me simplify this for you.

Firstly tell me one thing,

What are you dreaming about?

Want to become the next billionaire?

Want to be selected for the National cricket team?

Want to become a principal engineer?

What actually you want to become and dream about the whole day & night?

If you haven’t figured that out then don’t worry, I understand it’s not that much easy to crack in the world where you are just one tap away from the next new life, new story, a new journey, and because of that, you get new thoughts for your next new dream.

And also do not worry if you are someone who is dreaming to pursue multiple things. There isn’t anything wrong with this mindset. And don’t listen to them who say live your whole life by following one passion or dream. 

    See, we humans are only the creatures on this plant who are allowed to explore and experience different domains, different dreams.

    We are the one who have power, capabilities, exposure to do this. Others are just focused on their food and survival.

So, it’s never late. every new day comes with new opportunities. Take time and decide “What you really want to become?”

And, Hanging out with people you want to become is a fully experimented technique of growth shared by those people who have achieved whatever they wanted to achieve and dream like us.

    Impact of environment on your brain matters a lot. By environment means, people who live in your surrounding, foods you eat, water you drink, air you breath, thoughts you hear, etc. These things play role in how your brain is taking shape, how you are gonna take particular decision. 

People in your surroundings play a major role in your mind’s growth. Because, In reality, they are the one with who you share thoughts. If you live in a surroundings where people are kind of narrow-minded, negative thinkers, non-dreamer, people who are happy with the life they have either it’s in a bad situation or good. Then you should decide sudden shift from that surrounding if you are someone who dreams big, want to do something big in life, want to solve people’s problem, want to explore & experience different peoples and places.

All the best.

Thanks for being with me.

Let me know if you have any queries or want to discuss something.

How to Design a Thumbnail for Fueler Profile?

While uploading your proof of work, did you struggle to create an appealing thumbnail for your fueler profile? There are 80% chances you have. (add some valid date number, it gets attention) 

In this blog, we will discuss Proof of Work thumbnails in detail. Let’s learn the art of creating stellar thumbnails for your Fueler profile that make people click on your projects.
Why add a Thumbnail in the first place?

Courtesy: Project on Fueler.io by Yasin Alyani

To get traction on your project, a thumbnail is one of the most crucial elements to consider.  

First impression is the last impression! 

Without an attractive thumbnail your ideal client will not click open your proof of work and your hours of hardwork will be resting under dust! . 

Now that we have understood how vital a thumbnail, we must understand where it can be seen!

Your POW thumbnail can be on various places like -

    The Discover page.

Every new fueler project lands here, and your thumbnails start to compete with every new Proof of work that’s uploaded. (Screenshot of Discover page)

Courtesy:Fueler Website Screenshot

    Your profile.

Courtesy: Fueler Website Screenshot

A Fueler profile has four sections.

    Projects: Every project that you upload is going to be visible here.
    Timeline: All projects that you upload are going to be visible here as well, but it will be sorted by the date, along with other metrics.
    Collabs: All your projects with the collaborator's account added end up here.
    Stats: This page contains thumbnails of 4 of your projects.
    Three project thumbnails added here are random, but the 4th one depends on the project's views. Your most viewed project ends up here.

You must remember that what you upload will be seen, so you should design accordingly.

Before you start designing, you will have to  make a canvas for designing. A Fueler thumbnail dimension is 1500x1000px.

A rookie mistake in a thumbnail is not having breathing space near the borders. You would have noticed that thumbnails get soft corners after uploading to Fueler, which gives a perfect look. Not having breathing space near borders results in your content on the thumbnail to get cropped..

Safe Area:

Courtesy: A thumbnail which I just created which I will never use

Usually, it depends on different software on how the margin is activated, but for example, in Photoshop, you go to View > New Guides layout > Margins.

Keeping a 40px Margin is preferred.

This helps safeguard your essential aspects of texts and composition in a safe area, and your thumbnail looks Clean and attention-grabbing.

Also guides help you align your elements and images which helps in creating a better composition.

What colours can you use?

Courtesy: ScreenShot of Color Panel from Photoshop

    You can use colour from the display picture or the banner you have used on your Fueler profile.
    You can use brand colours specified by the brands themselves.
    You can also choose some colours from websites like -

           Color wheel, a color palette generator | Adobe Color

           Color Palettes for Designers and Artists - Color Hunt

          Coolors - The super fast color palettes generator!

Or search for a premade palette; if your brand is a travelling based brand, you can search travelling color pallete - Search (bing.com)


Elements

It's subjective and varies depending on your proof of work/project.

You can add images and icons based on your brand. For example, if your brand is based on bamboo, you can add bamboo or bamboo products or icons/illustrations related to bamboo or nature.

Font choices?

Same as you did with colours, you can choose from the brand’s font that is used. You can find that on their website by pressing F12, and you can find what fonts and colours are used with what line spacing and kerning.

Or

Here are some font suggestions that almost work everywhere - Poppins & Helvetica.

Pro Tip from the founder himself (Riten Debnath on Fueler.io) -

“While making your Proof of Work thumbnail, make sure to add the brand's logo so if the viewer or the decision maker is familiar with the brand, it will get his attention and it creates an impact

Optional tip -

You can colour-code your thumbnails for a specific niche of your work.

You can have all the Graphic designing POW Thumbnails in some specific colour and all your video editing POW in a different specific colour. You can do this depending on your niche.

Some don’t: Not choosing pre-installed fonts because they are overused, for example, Times New Roman or Impact or some handwritten font that is barely legible

Now it's time to apply all these tips to your project, so start creating on a blank canvas or use our Free Templates.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Comment Blocking in Python

If you're new to coding in Python, you may be wondering what comment blocking is and how it can help you. Well, comment blocking is a process that helps you organize your code, which is important for readability, maintainability, and debugging.

By using comment blocks, you can separate different parts of your code into logical sections. This makes it easy to quickly find parts of a program when making changes or troubleshooting issues. The block comments also serve as helpful reminders for yourself or other coders who need to make changes in the future.

Comment blocks help ensure that your code remains organized and easy to work with. It also allows you to quickly jump between different functional parts of a program without having to manually search through the codebase.
How to Write Single-Line Comments in Python

Writing comments in your code is a great way to organize it, keep track of your progress, and make sure that anyone else who might use your code can understand it more easily.

In Python, you can create single-line comments using a pound (#) symbol at the beginning of a line.

When you use this symbol in Python, anything that follows the # is considered part of the comment-in other words, it won't be read by the interpreter at runtime. This is useful for adding explanations and context to your code without changing its behavior.

For instance, if you’re writing a function that will calculate the tax on a purchase, you might include an explanatory comment like this:

# calculate tax on a purchase
tax_amount = purchase_amt * 0.085

Including helpful comments like this allows anyone looking at your code to understand what each line does and why it’s there. It also creates an easier path for debugging later down the road.


How to Write Multi Line Comments in Python

If you want to write a multi-line comment in Python, then you can use the triple quotation marks. This is useful when you are writing long comments that need to be broken into multiple lines.

Here's an example of what a multi-line comment would look like in Python:

""" This is a
multi-line comment
in Python """

You can also use the multi-line comment in your code. For example, if you are writing a large block of code and you want to add some explanatory comments, then you can use the triple quotation marks to do this.

The comments will appear after the code block, which makes them easier to read and understand.

Another great thing about using the triple quotation marks is that they allow you to add more detailed comments than a single line of text would allow. This makes it easier to explain what is happening in your code and provide helpful notes for other developers who might be reading your code.


Benefits of Comment Blocking for Python Programming

You might be wondering what the benefits are that come with comment blocking in Python; after all, why bother when it can feel like an extra step in your programming workflow? As it turns out, there are some great reasons to get on board with comment blocking.
1. Testing made easier

Comment blocking helps you to quickly test snippets of code within larger projects, and means you don’t have to keep cutting out desired portions from within a program and pasting them into a new file.

Because comment blocks exist outside of the main code, you can easily pull them out for testing purposes without worry.
2. Improved clarity

Comment blocking helps both yourself and other readers of your code understand your logic quickly and easily; each block is divided from the main program, so at a glance it’s easy to understand which pieces of code are related.

This makes project troubleshooting a breeze for other programmers who may be collaborating on your project.
3. More efficient coding

Comment blocking allows you to keep all your related functions in the same area and significantly reduces the amount of scrolling required when searching through longer programs.

Having the ability to quickly move between related functions can save huge amounts of time in development.
Commonly Asked Questions About Python Comment Blocking

Comment blocking can seem like an intimidating task for the beginner Python coder, but don’t worry—it’s actually not so hard, once you understand the fundamentals.

To help you get started, here are some of the most commonly asked questions about comment blocking in Python.
1. Is it possible to block comments in Python?

Yes! Comment blocking is actually a straightforward process in Python. All you need to do is use the “#” symbol before any text that you want to be blocked, and it will be ignored by the compiler.


2. How will comment blocking affect code execution?

Comment blocking won't affect code execution—in fact, it's completely invisible to the compiler. You can use comment blocking to create notes or reminders for yourself and other coders without affecting the program's functionality.


3. Is everything between /* and */ ignored by the program in Python?

No, everything between /* and */ is not ignored in Python because this is not the syntax used for comments in Python. In Python, single-line comments are denoted by a hash symbol (#) and multi-line comments can be created using triple quotes (''' or """).
Conclusion

Commenting in Python is a great way to organize and simplify your code. With the help of this guide, you've learnt how to block comments to make your code more readable and easier to debug.

By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you can now confidently add comments to your Python code and know that it will be blocked properly. So be sure to practice this skill and enable yourself to comment with ease in the future!


5 Must-Have Technical SEO Checklist Items for Your Website Redesign

Hey Fueler. I've seen many website redesigns cause issues that are easily avoidable with some technical SEO. In this article, I'm going to walk you through 7 must-have technical SEO checklist items to consider before, during, and after your website redesign.

Let's dive in!
Set Up Redirects From Old to New URLs

When redesigning your website, it’s critical to make sure search engines and users can seamlessly navigate from your old site architecture to the new one. 301 redirects are best to preserve link equity.

To avoid losing rankings and traffic, you'll want to set up 301 redirects to forward old URLs to the new, corresponding pages. For example, if your old "about us" page was "/about.html" and your new one is "/about-the-company/", create a redirect from "/about.html" to "/about-the-company/".

Search engines see 301 redirects as a permanent move and will associate the link equity and rankings of the old page with the new one. Without these redirects in place, you risk losing the value of links pointing to the old URLs.

It's also a good idea to check for 404 errors and set up redirects from any old URLs that return a 404 to the most relevant new page.

You worked hard to build that link authority and traffic, so don't let any of it go to waste during your redesign!


Keep Your URLs Clean and Keyword-Rich

When redesigning your website, it’s the perfect time to refresh your URLs and make them keyword-optimized.

Have URLs that are easy to read and remember. Shorter is better, so avoid overly long or complex URLs. For example, “example.com/products/new-red-dress” is easier to read than “example.com/category/women’s-clothing/new-arrivals/dresses/red-dresses/new-red-dress”.

Use important keywords in your URLs, like the product name, service offered or location. For example, “example.com/dog-training-san-diego” or “example.com/buy-electric-guitar”.

When creating new pages during your redesign, take the opportunity to give them keyword-rich URLs. For existing pages, consider updating old URLs that aren’t optimized. Use a redirect to avoid losing any link equity you’ve built up.

Avoid stop words like “the” or “a” in URLs. Don’t use ambiguous phrases that could describe multiple pages like “products” or “services” without clarifying details.

During a redesign, it can be tempting to change all your URLs for a fresh start but that will hurt your search ranking. Only change URLs when necessary and always set up redirects from old to new URLs. That way you maintain the link authority you’ve earned over time.


Improve Site Architecture and Internal Linking

A website redesign is the perfect time to improve your site architecture and internal linking. Your site architecture refers to how your pages are organized and linked together.

Confusing navigation or a messy site structure frustrates visitors and hurts your SEO.

As you redesign, take time to evaluate your current site map. Are pages logically grouped together? Can visitors easily find content? If not, now is the time to reorganize your pages into a more intuitive flow. For example, group all product pages under a “Products” menu, or have separate sections for “For Beginners” and “Advanced”.

Internal links also help visitors discover related content on your site. Link to other relevant pages, blog posts, or resources within the body content or as a “Related Resources” section. For example, on a tutorial page, link to beginner and advanced tutorials on the same topic. On a product page, link to complementary products or how-to guides.

When improving internal linking, make sure links:

    Use keyword-rich anchor text, like “ Beginner's Guide to SEO” rather than “click here”.
    Are contextually relevant to the surrounding content.
    Aren't excessive.
    Point to useful, valid pages. Don't link to pages with little content or that return 404 errors.
    Create a good user experience.

An optimized site architecture and internal linking helps both users and search engines navigate your content.


Optimize Pages for Speed

Optimizing your website for speed is crucial for search engine ranking and user experience. As you redesign your site, be sure to:
Compress Images

Large image files significantly slow down page load times. Compress all your images by:

    Reducing image dimensions to sizes actually used on your page.
    Choosing the right file format for each image (JPG for photos, PNG for logos/graphics, GIF for animations).
    Using a tool like TinyPNG or Kraken.io to compress images.

Minify Code

Minifying your code removes unnecessary spaces, line breaks, and comments, reducing file sizes by up to 30%. Use a minifier on:

    HTML
    CSS
    JavaScript

Minified code loads much faster but is harder to read, so keep non-minified versions for editing.


Optimize Hosting

Your web hosting environment directly impacts site speed. For the fastest load times:

    Choose a hosting provider with solid state drives (SSDs) over hard disk drives (HDDs). SSDs retrieve data much faster.
    Ensure your hosting plan has plenty of bandwidth and memory to handle your expected traffic.
    Enable caching, which stores website data in a temporary storage space called a cache. This allows for faster retrieval of data on subsequent page loads.

Audit and Improve

Once your site redesign launches, audit your speed and performance using a tool like Google PageSpeed Insights or GTmetrix. Look for any additional optimizations to shave seconds off your load time. Even minor tweaks can significantly improve your search ranking and user experience.

Keeping your site fast and optimized is an ongoing process. However, focusing on speed during your website redesign will give you the best foundation.


Update XML Sitemaps and Submission to Search Engines

One of the most important technical SEO factors to update during a website redesign is your XML sitemaps. XML sitemaps are files that list the URLs of your site and allow search engines to discover new and updated content.

When your site structure changes due to a redesign, you'll want to generate a new XML sitemap to reflect these changes. Upload the sitemap to your site at the location specified in your robots.txt file. Then, log in to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools and submit the new sitemap. This alerts the search engines to crawl your new site structure.

The most common copywriting niches are

    SEO copywriting,
    B2B copywriting,

    Ad copywriting,
    Social media copywriting,

    Video script copywriting,
    Whitepaper copywriting

SEO Copywriting

SEO copywriting is a specialized form of writing that helps improve a website's ranking in search engine results.

It is a complex and ever-changing field, but the basics are simple: SEO copywriting is all about creating content that is both relevant and popular.

To write effective SEO copy, you need to understand how search engines work and what people are searching for. 

You also need to be able to write compelling and interesting content that will encourage people to link to your site.

Here are a few tips for writing effective SEO copy:

1. Write for your audience first

Your priority should always be to write for your target audience. What information are they looking for? What questions do they have? Write content that is helpful and informative, and make sure it is easy to read and understand.

2. Use keyword-rich titles and descriptions

Your title and meta description are important places to use keywords, as they help tell search engines what your page is about. However, don't stuff your keywords in – just use them naturally as you would in any other piece of writing.

3. Make sure your website is easy to navigate

Search engines prefer websites that are easy to navigate and understand. That means having a clear hierarchy, well-labeled links, and a sitemap. Making your website user-friendly will not only improve your ranking, but it will also encourage people to stay on your site longer.

4. Use social media to promote your content

Social media can be a great way to promote your content and get more people linking to your site. Share your articles on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and other social networks, and make it easy for people to share them with friends and followers.
B2B Copywriting

B2B copywriting is a specialized form of writing that helps promote a product or service to a business audience. It can be used to generate leads, increase sales, or simply create awareness about a company or its products and services.

But with some patience and persistence, there are ways you can land those first few projects to get your freelance writing career off the ground. In this blog post, we will look into 10 of the best ways to find freelance copywriting jobs. So let's start.
What exactly is Copywriting?

So what exactly is copywriting? Copywriting is writing promotional text for businesses to help sell products or services.

As a copywriter, your job is to craft engaging copy that convinces readers to take action, like making a purchase or signing up for a newsletter.

Copywriting aims to persuade and prompt the reader in a subtle way. You have to be part salesperson, part storyteller. You need to understand your audience and what motivates them to buy. Then, you craft copy that connects with the reader and compels them to act.

The content you create as a copywriter typically includes:

    Blog posts and articles
    Email newsletters
    Landing pages
    Social media posts
    Advertisements

The goal is to produce copy that gets results, whether that’s increasing sales, driving more traffic to a website or building brand awareness.

    Build your credibility by earning great reviews and ratings from clients. Ask happy clients to provide testimonials about their experience working with you.

Pitch to Marketing Agencies and Copywriting Firms

Pitching to marketing agencies and copywriting firms is a great way to find freelance work. Many of these companies hire freelance copywriters to help with overflow work or specific client projects.
Check Their Website

Visit the websites of agencies in your area to see if they mention hiring freelance copywriters. Some will list openings on their “Careers” or “Join Our Team” pages. If they don’t have any current listings, the site may still provide details on the types of clients they serve and the copywriting services they offer.

Use this information to pitch how you can help with relevant experience.
Send a Customized Pitch Email

Once you’ve identified some potential matches, reach out to the creative or content director with a personalized pitch email. Express your interest in any current or future freelance work.

Provide at least two sample copywriting pieces relevant to their clients. Mention your availability and willingness to complete a short test project to demonstrate your abilities.
Follow Up

If you haven’t heard back within a week or so, send a friendly follow-up email. Reiterate your interest and mention any additional samples or relevant experience to strengthen your pitch.

Briefly restate when you’re available to take on new freelance projects. With persistence, you increase your chances of getting a positive response and potential job lead.

Using platforms like Fueler to build an online portfolio will give you additional credibility when pitching to agencies. Be sure to provide a link to your portfolio in your emails so they can quickly see samples of your copywriting work.

With a combination of research, customized pitches, follow-up, and a strong portfolio, you'll be well on your way to finding freelance jobs through marketing agencies.
Networking: The Most Effective Way to Find Clients

When it comes to finding freelance copywriting work, networking is hands down the most effective strategy. Rather than cold pitching or blindly applying to online job posts, focus on building real connections with people.

    Build mutually beneficial relationships. Help others connect or promote their services, and they'll likely return the favor.
    Don't be afraid to tell people what you do. Let friends, family, acquaintances, and new connections know you're a freelance copywriter looking for new clients. Word-of-mouth referrals are powerful.
    Nurture your existing relationships. Check-in regularly with former colleagues, bosses, clients, and mentors. See if they know of any new opportunities and ask them to keep you in mind for future projects.
    Join relevant online communities. Engage with people in copywriting, content creation, and digital marketing groups on LinkedIn, Reddit, and Facebook. Provide value by answering questions and sharing your expertise.

While it can feel uncomfortable at first, networking and relationship-building are skills that improve with practice. Stay authentic, help others, and new copywriting jobs will come your way through the power of your network.

Keep putting in the effort and soon you'll have more work than you know what to do with!
Cold Pitching

Cold pitching, or reaching out to potential clients who you have no prior relationship with, can be an effective way to land new copywriting clients. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:

    Focus on businesses in your niche. Compile a list of companies that could benefit from your copywriting services. Do some research to identify the appropriate contact person, like a marketing director or content manager.
    Craft a compelling pitch. Explain who you are, your experience as a copywriter, and how you can help them achieve their goals. Mention some relevant samples or case studies to demonstrate your skills. Keep your pitch concise and enthusiastic.
    Follow up persistently but politely. Don’t be pushy, but do send a follow-up message if you don’t receive a response. Reiterate your interest in working with them and ask if they have any questions about your services. Provide value by sharing useful tips or resources to build goodwill.
    Be willing to start small. Don’t expect to land huge contracts right away. Cold pitching often leads to small projects at first, like writing a single blog post or email campaign. Do excellent work to earn their trust and the opportunity for more substantial, long-term work.

While cold pitching does require effort and patience, it can pay off by helping you diversify your client base and tap into new opportunities. With practice, you’ll get better at crafting pitches, identifying good prospects, and converting more leads into paying clients. Stay positive and keep putting yourself out there!
Warm Pitching

Pitching to potential new clients is an effective way to land freelance copywriting work. Rather than responding to job ads, do some research to find agencies, marketing firms, and in-house marketing teams that may need copywriting services. Pitch them on why they should hire you for their next project.

Reach out via email or phone and express your interest in working with them. Mention some of the benefits of hiring a freelance copywriter, like reduced overhead costs and access to specialized skills. Discuss a few relevant writing samples or case studies that demonstrate your experience.

When possible, try to establish a personal connection by mentioning someone you both know or commenting on their recent work.

A warm, enthusiastic pitch shows your passion and confidence in your abilities. Keep things concise while highlighting the key reasons you’re a great fit. Offer to provide additional details or hop on a quick call to discuss further. The worst that can happen is they say “no thanks”—but they may come back to you in the future or refer you to someone else.

With consistency and persistence, warm pitching can lead to new long-term clients and help build your freelance copywriting business through word-of-mouth and personal relationships.

While it may feel uncomfortable at first, keep at it—the rewards of landing your first client this way will make all the effort worthwhile!

Stay positive, focus on listening to their needs, and keep refining your pitch. The more you do it, the easier it will get.
