@LeilaHormozi True, but sometimes, I thrive when I am alone. It gives me insane amount of clarity.

It is interesting how a client comes back to you after flirting with other designers and agencies once they realise that the value you were adding to their business was just incredible.

Thumb rule -> Just continue to add incredible value, and the client is bound to come back.

Great product with bad distribution -> Will die soon

Average product with great distribution -> High churn, but will still make money

Great product with great distribution -> Unstoppable

Distribution, not product, is the name of the game.

An extraordinary B2C product designer will be an extraordinary B2B product designer,

BUT,

An extraordinary B2B product designer might not be an extraordinary B2C designer

It is easier to build for the savvy once you have built it for the masses.

The fourth most addictive thing in this world that no one talks about is to be around a group of smartest people out there. You be around such kind of people once and you will never be able to go backwards. The craving will just keep on increasing.

Of course the first three are→ heroin, carbohydrates, and a monthly salary.

93% of entire web traffic is still driven by search engine. SEO is and will always be one of the biggest channel of driving traffic and generating leads.

@shl Expensive labor helps you command higher pricing for your product / service which eventually makes them much more profitable than cheap labor.

7) CTA:
Have too many CTAs (call to action) and the user will get confused and drop off. 7 out of 10 business websites fail to have a proper CTA. Having clear CTAs with the right placement and the right frequency is the key to increasing your conversion rates.

A good website is a great story told in a chronological manner where the layout enhances the website's message and usability.

[Thinkin Birds @Thinkin_Birds]

6) Layout & Navigation:
Layout holds great importance from user experience point of view. A website needs to have

a) right arrangement of all it's visual elements &
b) navigation for people to browse through the website efficiently.

A hero section should have two main objective:
1. Communicate the value prop clearly
2. Have a stellar hook to get people to scroll further
