ConvertKit [archive] reposted this
I wrote a 100-page career guide to sell to designers, but I've decided to give it away for free. Two reasons why I think it makes sense: - I'm joining ConvertKit → Soon to be Kit as their new Director of Product Design, and I'm going to take testing out the product _really_ seriously by giving away my guide as a newsletter. To get the newsletter when it launches next month, sign up here: https://lnkd.in/d-TNkH6c (ignore the landing page; it's a little out of date) - I just finished my first cohort on Maven, and it was an amazing experience. I want to double-down on in-person teaching instead of digital products because of how much I can learn from the feedback and questions. This will serve to make my content better and more helpful to all of you. Students found the tips and frameworks very practical and were able to start implementing them at work right away. If you're interested in joining the next cohort, starting in November, sign up here: https://lnkd.in/dnvcfR5h My summer was crazy. I helped deliver a big project on time for my previous employer, prepared and taught my first Maven course, interviewed and landed a new role, and flew out to the States to meet the team at ConvertKit. As a designer, I had a very successful summer. As a dad and a husband, not so much. I won't try to do so many things at once again, and definitely not whilst my kids are on vacation. At least I have a couple of weeks off now for family time. How's your summer going?
Been interested in taking your course for a while, but haven't been able to due to certain roadblocks. Hopefully sometime soon. Kudos on the new role and can't wait to check out the guide!
I think I know you pretty well at this point and can't imagine you're anything other than a kickass dad and husband. the minute you launch your guide I will forward and repost for you.
You're quite a role model Dan! I've done the opposite this summer and abandoned content creation to grow my second baby but now reading this I can't wait to be back and continue developing my course. Congratulations on the role, it's a dream job. ✨️
congratulations on your first maven cohort Dan!! 👏
The guide and course both look great Dan! Can't wait to learn more from you as you step into your new role at [the artist formerly known as] ConvertKit! 🎉👏
Congrats all around Dan and enjoy the down time. Our summer has flown by, and it wasn’t nearly as busy as yours!
Well done Dan Winer 🙌
Congrats on the new role and the successful launch of your Maven cohort! It's amazing that you're giving away your guide for free and focusing on in-person teaching—such a valuable way to connect and learn.
Enjoy the well-deserved 2 weeks. Excited to hear more about your newsletter and role at CK!

2moCongratulations, Dan and thanks for offering to share your book! I tried joining the newsletter but the button is stuck in loading state. Is it working fine or is there a problem on my end?
