Hi Abi, thanks for another great & insightful video! I'm enjoying & learning so much from your channel! ❤️❤️❤️ QUESTION: What's your process/how do you get your clients to pay you via Wise? I find most still prefer to pay via PayPal and/or don't want to create a new account
Abi there are businesses popping with every new video you upload!! Absolutely amazing to see a designer's process (transparent one) especially a client management system and be able to buy! Kudos to you girl 🥺✨❤️
hahah well this is so nice to hear! Just want to help as many people as I can, plenty of room at the top of all us designers! Appreciate your kind words, thank you!
Third time watching this after the drop. I'm taking down notes girl you're literally the best 😩❤️❤️ PS : please do a video about font licensing and how to deal with their limitations and everything designers should know before using them on client projects :)
OMG Abi!! This is pure gold for someone that wants to start a business but doesn't know how to manage clients and projects. This is amazing! Thank you so much!
Have never clicked so fast on a video. 🤭 I've been waiting for this one for a while! Thanks so much for giving us a peek into your project management system!! I've been struggling on this department so looking forward to learn from you! 💚

Hi Abi! For my high school graduation, I am doing a brand design passion project and I am working with my teacher to create a presentation of designs very similar to how you layout your video timeline on brand design!

@@abiconnick Yes, I'm thinking about it!!! Right now I'm all about TikTok, it's what's bringing me my customers right now. But I'm thinking of sharing my passion for design on TH-cam soon. Thanks so much for your advice!!!
I just found your channel and I am IN LOVE. I never realised how much I really loved Graphic Design until now. Could you do a video on how you present your branding to the client? I’ve seen some people do it through presentations whereas some people just put a portfolio on their website. Thank you Abbi 💛
Welcome! Appreciate your kind words and support! 😊 So i have a video on that subject here: th-cam.com/video/MOlTINHbSLA/w-d-xo.html but do plan to do an updated one soon!
Abi Abi Abi....we need to make a song of appreciation for you....I am....Abi, the one who builds our abilities in an empowering way yaaaayyyy....thank you for sharing this so generously
I always look forward to your videos! You have helped me in so many ways and I can never thank you for! You are so kind, aesthetic, real & down to earth 🥰 Thank you so much for always being honest & encouraging 🥺
spot on girl. This was a great video content and very relatable to someone who's running a creative digital branding service business all on my own. very fun editing style you've got here too!
I’ve been waiting for this Abi😍 I knew it I waited for this video before purchasing notion template from another one. This will solve all my stress and worries. Love you always Abi😘
Oh my goodness Abi this is brilliant! I love this! Thank you for sharing, I'll definitely with be buying this template, and then customize it after my needs and work process 🙏🏼
Hi Abi, Thanks for this video. Got to learn a lot. Just want to know if there is a chance the client may disturb the template flow/ content. Also can the Client feedback section become more flexible allowing more back and forth communication, (the way we get it in Slack).
I looooove these BTS videos! Its such a good insight to see other designers processes and this did not disappoint! Thanks as always for sharing! (Obviously love the design ones very much too 🥰)
Hey! Loved the video made me realise i need something like this to sort clients out and look more professional for sure! I've been using notion for a couple of days now an i cant figure out the sharing feature. How do you allow clients permission to download/upload file, tick boxes and leave answers to questions without giving them full access to editing the data base?
Thank you so much for this! It’s quite interesting and absolutely helpful in creating projects for clients! Really you’re giving back so much to the community, desire to be like you someday 💫✨
So if you have 10 clients you must have 10 different project tracker/todo list spread around ? Do you have a way to have this but being able to as a insider, have everything (tasks) in one database while still showing the clients the same taks page (from databases) you using ? I'm looking to do the same dashboard but I feel like the only way to do so is to create a Master Project Database, which clients only have a filtered viewed on but that comes with problems as its not displayed/editable for guests it seems
It is in one database, the cleint's only get access to their portal though so they can't see others (You only share that page with them, not the whole database)
@@abiconnick Ok thanks for the answer! Of course you only share their specific page, but I mean in one of the client's page (Cool Comfort here for ex.) the "Project Tracker" database is unique for the client right ? So if you want to yourself see ALL the project tasks of your, let's say, 10 clients, you need to open each "Clien portal" one by one ?
Ugh... I SO wish I had found your template before I purchased the one I did... I'm so disappointed with it and yours looks SO much more in-depth and helpful!!!!!
LOVEEE this video. I notice a lot of people are selling Notion templates but don't really show what's included in the templates... this video makes me automatically put your template first in line because I can see what I can expect. Screenshots just don't do justice! I would love to know more about font licensing and your process with that -- like are your clients responsible to purchase their own fonts? Is it included in your price?
Just amazing i learn so much from you, you are a huge source of inspiration and motivationso thank you. I just have a question, what did you exactly put in your goodbye packet document, because i know it's really important to well finish a project but i don't really know how to manage it
Thank you very much for this! If you don't mind, I would also like you to discuss about contracts in the next video hehe. I'm currently editing my contract but I'm not sure what and what not to include like for example, the licensing of fonts, copyright policy, etc. Would love to know ur insights on this :)
No problem, glad to be of help! With contracts it's a tricky subject because different countries have different regulations etc. But I do plan to do a video on it soon as many have asked! 😊
Thanks Abi, you are really creative and we can learn a lot from you💓 We hope that there will be a video explaining some tips for working on freelance sites and how to get our first client on the site.. Thanks
Hi Abi, Thank you so much for making this video. I'm starting out my freelance business and this was very helpful. I wanted to ask if you could show us an example of what a proper contract should look like and entail. I'm trying to work on my contract but just want to know how to properly format it. Thank You🙌
You're so welcome!! I actually have a contract template included within my Free Onboarding Course if you'd like to check it out! Would save you some time :) www.abiconnick.co.uk/onboarding-course
SO SMART! This is the best lead magnet I've experienced. Halfway through the video, I was thinking, "where can I buy this template?" Great job, Abi. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, thank you for the content. How do you usually share tasks to your clients or temporary contractors? if you have only one master database, you clients and contractors will have access to all tasks. How are you managing that? Thank you
Hey! so there's the master database, then within that their are client portals which I share to the client, that way they only get access to their project info and not the whole database (hope this helps!)
@@abiconnick Hey, thank you for replying. YEah, I get what you did. I was more questioning a different scenario when you want to share a certain tasks to a contractor or a client. You might not do this as you might work solo. I asked because you have experience in notion and might have a solution for this. Tks a lot
Sorry I read the question wrong! So I have a team and they all have access to the database as they are internal team members and not freelancers. So I've not had to deal with this issue, but I can't think of a notion feature that would allow what you're asking for. Sorry i couldn't be of more help!
How do you deal with clients who do not like their designs and would like a refund instead of resolving the issue. Or when you would like to cancel a client project altogether?
Being completely honest I've never been in this situation, and I think it's why the brand strategy stage of the client process is so important, if this stage is done well and correctly it should eliminate this risk of this happening because in this stage you get to understand what it is the client wants so you are both on the same wavelength. But if I was in the this situation transparency and honestly is the best policy, just be honest with the client and they should appreciate that.
Hey Abi, Absolutely love this! I wondered if you had a notion template for internal project management, so an area that clients don't see, but you can share with subcontractors or a team. And the ability to set up some you can choose a board to add depending on the project, (website, brand identity) and a check list for each of the projects. :)
Hi Abi, I want to buy this template but I have a couple of questions. 1. Is it possible to customize this template to my needs, so all new client portals will be created as I customized it? I'm not a brand designer, so I'll have to make changes. 2. In the first tab "How to use your notion portal" there's your video. Do I have to record the video myself for my clients or there will be enough of a PDF file that you provided for them?
Hi Aby ! Good video as usual ! In the FAQ section of your customer portal, you mention that you use the "one concept" method (I saw this at 6:55 of the video). Have you always used this method ? What are the pros ?
So every time you send a copy link of the client portal template to clients - a client can make changes and it will be reflected in your master database on your back end?
I'm new to notion, so this might a dumb question. Bare with me. Is a client invited as a guest? The business plan of notion has 250 guests... and that puts a cap at your client number. Is this right?
No, you don’t have to invite the client at all. You publish the page instead and share the page with the client. That way the client doesn’t have to make a login and it’s simple for them
Hey Connick, I observed that as soon as you selected "Brand Identity" the blocks generated automatically. I guess you have customised the blocks to appear based on the package that you select. How did you achieve this?
Hey 👋 so it's the same template that appears no mater what project type you select, but I am working on a v.2 of this template where depending on the project it generates the applicable template.
@@abiconnick If you don't mind me asking how are you trying to achieve that? I am currently organizing my notion for finances, projects, tasks and even CRM. I got college holidays so I can't do it later. 😭

@Abiconnick any way you can demonstrate how you have your permissions set up to ensure outside data isn't shared with clients?
As long as you only share the client portal page with your client they will only have access to that and not the project tracker
Great video. Simple and easy to follow. I am curious to know how did you add a border to data tables.
Hi Abi, Thank you so much for making this video. I'm starting out my freelance business and this was very helpful. I wanted to ask if you could show us an example of what a proper contract should look like and entail. I'm trying to work on my contract but just want to know how to properly format it. Thank You🙌
You're so welcome!! I actually have a contract template included within my Free Onboarding Course if you'd like to check it out! Would save you some time :) www.abiconnick.co.uk/onboarding-course
@@abiconnick Thank You so much!! I will check it out.🙌🙌
do you have any videos showing the clients view of the portal?
SO SMART! This is the best lead magnet I've experienced. Halfway through the video, I was thinking, "where can I buy this template?" Great job, Abi. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, really appreciate it 😊
Hi, thank you for the content. How do you usually share tasks to your clients or temporary contractors? if you have only one master database, you clients and contractors will have access to all tasks.
How are you managing that? Thank you
Hey! so there's the master database, then within that their are client portals which I share to the client, that way they only get access to their project info and not the whole database (hope this helps!)
@@abiconnick Hey, thank you for replying. YEah, I get what you did. I was more questioning a different scenario when you want to share a certain tasks to a contractor or a client. You might not do this as you might work solo. I asked because you have experience in notion and might have a solution for this. Tks a lot
Sorry I read the question wrong! So I have a team and they all have access to the database as they are internal team members and not freelancers. So I've not had to deal with this issue, but I can't think of a notion feature that would allow what you're asking for. Sorry i couldn't be of more help!
How do you deal with clients who do not like their designs and would like a refund instead of resolving the issue. Or when you would like to cancel a client project altogether?
Being completely honest I've never been in this situation, and I think it's why the brand strategy stage of the client process is so important, if this stage is done well and correctly it should eliminate this risk of this happening because in this stage you get to understand what it is the client wants so you are both on the same wavelength. But if I was in the this situation transparency and honestly is the best policy, just be honest with the client and they should appreciate that.
Hi, this is a really great video. I'm wondering how you section your pages into blocks/boxes, I love the way it looks
Does this work better then Monday? And is it also possible to track and create multiple projects under one client?
Hey Abi, Absolutely love this! I wondered if you had a notion template for internal project management, so an area that clients don't see, but you can share with subcontractors or a team. And the ability to set up some you can choose a board to add depending on the project, (website, brand identity) and a check list for each of the projects. :)
Looks amazing, could you make one to include the web development aspect to?
Super helpful thanks!
No problem!😊
Hi Abi, I want to buy this template but I have a couple of questions.
1. Is it possible to customize this template to my needs, so all new client portals will be created as I customized it? I'm not a brand designer, so I'll have to make changes.
2. In the first tab "How to use your notion portal" there's your video. Do I have to record the video myself for my clients or there will be enough of a PDF file that you provided for them?
Hi Aby ! Good video as usual !
In the FAQ section of your customer portal, you mention that you use the "one concept" method (I saw this at 6:55 of the video). Have you always used this method ? What are the pros ?
For most of my time as a freelancer yes I've used this method, it's a game changer! I will create a video on it soon :)
@abiconnick Do repeat clients have a new portal for each project or a combined portal that shows them all of their projects?
New portal, to keep projects separate :)
So every time you send a copy link of the client portal template to clients - a client can make changes and it will be reflected in your master database on your back end?
Have you registrered your business with your Country's Government Rules
or is it essential to get a cotract signed by the client?
Wondering how you or others handle multiple different projects for one client. this set up seems like a 1 to 1 not a 1 to many? thanks!
The project tracker it what makes handling multiple projects easy, I normally work with 2-3 clients a month 😊
I'm new to notion, so this might a dumb question. Bare with me. Is a client invited as a guest? The business plan of notion has 250 guests... and that puts a cap at your client number. Is this right?
No, you don’t have to invite the client at all. You publish the page instead and share the page with the client. That way the client doesn’t have to make a login and it’s simple for them
Safe to say I’ll be buying the template 😅
Ooh thanks so much! Let me know how you get on with it!
Abi! i love it so much!! Just a quick little question! how do you embed the databases and have the colourful names?!
love ya!
Hey Connick, I observed that as soon as you selected "Brand Identity" the blocks generated automatically. I guess you have customised the blocks to appear based on the package that you select. How did you achieve this?
Hey 👋 so it's the same template that appears no mater what project type you select, but I am working on a v.2 of this template where depending on the project it generates the applicable template.
@@abiconnick If you don't mind me asking how are you trying to achieve that? I am currently organizing my notion for finances, projects, tasks and even CRM. I got college holidays so I can't do it later. 😭
Thank you for sharing this 😊
My pleasure 😊
