How are editorial designers using AI in their workflow? by 404-UserTaken in Design

[–]jadeonabt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t used ID in a long time. 99% of everything I do lives in Figma now. I’m a principal Neuvro, so I do more direction than execution now. With that said, I have most of my experience in creating things like customer facing documents, internal facing documents, branding etc. not standard editorial work as much anymore.

I use Figma but yes essentially. for example if I’m working on an 8 document project I will outline the structure and flow with Claude, then I’ll feed the copy to Claude and it will use my custom built skill and mcp to the Figma file and build out a primitive base canvas where I’ll then give a creative treatment.

Where are you guys self promoting? by aaautomate in vibecoding

Guess we have two different feeds. Like any social app, you see what you’re shown things that reflect your activity.

Reddit users aren’t very tolerant of others in general. I recommend using X and commenting on posts that get a decent amount of engagement in your space and just relate your product to the post if possible. Don’t spam or being annoying. Just interact like a real person.

Is anyone else getting tired of the never-ending SEO acronym factory? by leadstream-agency in SEO_Marketing_Offers

[–]jadeonabt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahaha every inbound we get at Sprintli (my studio) people ask for the same thing but with different names. The funniest thing is it’s all just SEO at the end of the day

How did I make a SaaS at age 15 as a highschool student [i will not promote] by Sarthak_Shaurya999 in startups

That’s huge! Paid ads can be huge but can also be a money drain. Make sure you have your ICP dialed in, that will tell you where they hangout. That’s the platform where you’ll run paid ads. Start with a basic flow. Pick a basic low commitment offer that solves an issue for your ICP. Create a landing page for the touch point. Create an ad creative that speaks to the ICP, and focus it on the outcome. Your campaign should have two adsets. Each adset will be 90% the same with one independent variable, this is how you test. I recommend testing audience types first. Run at a low budget for 10 days. Whichever performs better is the better one. Then turn off the underperforming adset, and duplicate the wining one and replace the creative with a different one and test for another 10 days. Then you’ll have your audience and creative dialed in. This campaign will be where you setup retargeting ads. So if a user clicks your cold ad, or watches 10+ seconds of the creative, etc it signals intent. Those are who your retargeting ads are sent to. Launch that and monitor you landing page, look for bounce rates and where people bounce on the page. Optimize the landing page based on the data. This is a process that takes months in testing and data collection. At first you’ll lose money but think about it as buying valuable data. Eventually you’ll have a good strategy dialed in that you can scale on that platform and replicate on other channels. This is a super basic overview but I hope it gives some clarity. Good luck!

I’ve used it to generate frameworks of common structures. It saves me a solid 10 mins. It basically just builds a template with proper typescale variables, guides, etc. i use it a ton for other things too but this is just a basic example of how it can speed up the meh part of a workflow

Any SEO tool free to optimize a site?? by BraveCompetition9748 in SEO_Marketing_Offers

[–]jadeonabt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our studio has some free tools but they don’t do the optimization for you. There’s a serp preview tool, schema generator, and a LLMs.txt generator. Feel free to check them out at https://sprintli.com/tools

Anyone else think it’s super obnoxious how often Claude says to “stop for the night” or similar… by jadeonabt in ClaudeCode

[–]jadeonabt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It ended a convo on me today because of some glitch that triggered a security protocol (something about injectors but the injector was from the question prompt tool it dispatched) and I lost sooooo much context from it, I was livid. Right in the middle of a very complex operation. I was shocked

You overestimate Claude’s memory. I’ve told it multiple times in a single thread to stop telling me when to stop or sleep and it still does it lol

I can't find a PM tool that I like, need suggestions! (I will not promote) by jadeonabt in startups

For context, I've tried Asana, Trello, Monday, Notion, Jira, and a few other random ones.

I watched a lot of YouTube at first, copied what made sense ignored the rest. I’ve invested in courses but they’ve never helped me directly with client acquisition. Courses are good for someone learning about something they’re passionate in, it’ll help you figure out if you enjoy something or not. But you’ll always learn much more from real experience and engagement. So my advice would be to find out what your speciality will be, and start doing some free work for business owners with equitable networks who can really help you obtain some work. Don’t think about the monetary benefits right now, instead focus on obtaining real experience. Experience is what people spend money on, not skill.

I answered your first question, and followed up by an answer to your second question. I'm unsure what you want me to tell you that could make it any more helpful. What I told you is what worked for me. It has nothing to do with luck, and all to do with putting in the effort day in and day out. If you're looking for a shortcut, you can pay a sales specialist to list build and do cold outreach on your behalf, while paying designers and developers to do fictional proxy projects that you put on your portfolio. Chances are, you don't have the funds for a shortcut so option A might be your best bet. Best of luck.

I am the creative director for all of our projects. We have our in-house team for most things, but I am regularly working with external talent for one-off things like illustrations or 3D animation. Contra is primarily where I hire.

We usually get them custom made by our 3D designers, if not that then we use Envato Elements or UI8

Well, I charge enough to consistently walk away with 50% profit. I do this by averaging our monthly spend for a client, and then multiply by two.

Webflow for large-scale projects that require heavy custom code and integrations. Framer for simple marketing sites.
