Subject: Design Skills = $$ + Smart
July 11, 2025

Design skills are a craft that make you money—and you can learn them for free.

Before I give you an income-boosting tip about design, let me first remind you about our call!

The Meet-Up happens tomorrow (all welcome, free, and unscripted).

Just bring your curiosity—and your passion for freedom, growth, and upgrading your lifestyle.

That will be my main topic tomorrow. And you can ask any question.

Details:

  • 🕗 20:00 (8pm) Central Europe Time
  • 🔗 One-click Zoom access (A Zoom link will be sent out 1 hour before the call)
  • ⏱️ Length: 1h to 1.5h max.
  • 💬 Q&A: Ask me anything!

Now, design skills…

A superpower you don’t need to waste years in a classroom to learn. YouTube is your primary go-to university.

Years ago, I met a girl from back home. After her three years at Multimedia Design, she “graduated.”

But she couldn’t even set up a decent-looking WordPress site. Teacher’s or the school system’s fault?

Probably both. There are less sucky ways to get smart.

Here’s what I’m currently reading these days (and a tip for you):

Practical UI 2nd Edition. (Super-easy read)

I’m currently working on an iPhone app, so I want to raise the quality of my work. This book has been gold for basic design principles.

If you read it, you can raise your hourly rate.

That’s it. No more wisdom for you today. Swing by tomorrow if you want to level up (or just hang out).

John.
