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
BEST 90 EURO'S EVER SPENT ON MY BUSINESS "The value is truly incredible! It makes your business 10 times more professional. Instead of sending 20,000 emails to each client, everything is neatly organized and packaged. It's also incredibly easy to customize. I'm using this for my web design clients, and it's fantastic!" Thanks for sharing this Abi
Omg thank you so much for your feedback! This has made my day. Would you mind leaving me a review on my website? 😇 There's a section at the bottom of this page! www.abiconnick.co.uk/product-page/notion-project-tracker-client-portal
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 :)
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!
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! 💚
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!
I'm a freelance writer and you just saved my life! Thank you! 🙏🏼 I already use Notion for personal reasons, so seeing it applied this way is mindblowing for me.
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! I am very grateful for all of your tips and tricks on how to clean up the design process and I wish you the best of luck in the future :) You've inspired me a lot along the way! -Sophia H
Hey Sophia! Oh wow, I’m glad my videos have been able to help with your presentation! Thanks for sharing 🧡 Wishing you the best for your graduation and your future! X
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!
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 🥺
Thank you very much for this video! I am a big fan of Notion, it is just perfect! And, thanks to your videos, I dared to go for my passion and I now have my graphic design business! And, I am French and I managed to progress in English with your videos. Thank you, sincerely.
You're very welcome! Thing I love about it is that it's just so flexible, you can do so many things with it! This is so great to hear, I wish you all the best with your business, I'm sure you're doing amazing! 💛💛
Little p.s see that you do/have done TH-cam, best way to get clients is showing your creative process and work on TH-cam has worked wonders for me!! So I would encourage you to keep going.

@@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’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😘
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 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 🥰)
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 🙏🏼
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!
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?
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 💫✨
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 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! 😊
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).
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!!!!!
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. :)
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
Yes I did, but contracts are always a tricky subject to talk about because legal advice is always different in different countries. I do plan to make a video in the future though going over what to include- e.g invoice terms, right to terminate contract etc.
Once again, so much value in this video thank you Abi ! Just one question, how do you manage to convince the clients to use the portal ? Because as I experience it, they are veeeery busy and it is pretty hard to make them learn a new tool. Thanks for your work 🙏
Glad the video was of help, appreciate the kind words 😊 Being completely honest I've never struggled to get clients to use it, they normally love it as it makes them feel more involved in the project, the majority of people i've worked with excited to get their branding done. But I would recommend making a quick video running them through the portal to show them that it's really easy and simple to use, Notion doesn't take a lot of time to get used to! I'd also explain to them that it is an important part in your design process, so if they want to work with you they have to do it, This may sound a little blunt or forward but just because they are the client they shouldn't be able to dictate everything, as a designer you need to set boundaries otherwise you'll work yourself into the ground! (and be super stressed)
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 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. 😭
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 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 ?
Hi Abi! I am in love with this template! I have it in my notion, but how do I share client dashboard page with a client without them seeing my entire database and other client projects? Do you make this into a separate workspace for each client?
Hey! So when you share the page with them they only get access to their page, not the whole database, have you watched the walkthrough video you get access to when purchasing the template? :)

But I would recommend making a quick video running them through the portal to show them that it's really easy and simple to use, Notion doesn't take a lot of time to get used to! I'd also explain to them that it is an important part in your design process, so if they want to work with you they have to do it, This may sound a little blunt or forward but just because they are the client they shouldn't be able to dictate everything, as a designer you need to set boundaries otherwise you'll work yourself into the ground! (and be super stressed)
This is the best notion dashboard i've seen so far! Love it!
Glad you like it! A lot of time was spent finalising it, so appreciate it :)
Please do a tutorial on how to create this template or a similar one
This is a game changer, thank you!!!
Great to hear! Glad it could help 😊
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 Abi can u tell me from where u get different and beautiful fonts btw i am a big fan of yours
Envato elements 😊
@@abiconnick thank you soo much
Wow this is great Abi! Do you create a new portal for a new project of the same client or do you add it to the same portal you're working on?
thanks abi your are the best 😭😭😭
Happy to help!

Thank you Tom! Glad you found it useful 😊
@@abiconnick Obviously that was supposed to say job* - that's what I get for watching design videos when I should be sleeeeeping
Purchased!

Thanks you so much This video is so much informative
Just glad I can help! So glad you found it useful, appreciate the kind words 😊
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!
Good stuff! THanks for sharing :D
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.
I love this and am needing this in my business! Is there a way to send a client testimonial to an active client through Notion?
Glad it was helpful :) And unfortunately no there isn't at this time!
@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
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. 😭
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 :)
Love your video's!! thanks this is so helpfull.
Is this the free Notion option?
Love your style of videos! What do you use to edit them and add the cool animations?
you're amaaaaaaazing!
Thank you! 😊
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 😊
Super helpful thanks!
No problem!😊
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 ?
Hi Abi! I am in love with this template! I have it in my notion, but how do I share client dashboard page with a client without them seeing my entire database and other client projects? Do you make this into a separate workspace for each client?
Hey! So when you share the page with them they only get access to their page, not the whole database, have you watched the walkthrough video you get access to when purchasing the template? :)
@@abiconnick Thank you for responding. I got it figured out. ☺
