Since my birthday on January 2nd, I have recorded three consecutive episodes of the podcast. In today’s episode of “Vista’s Little Voice (opens in a new tab)”, I want to talk to you about the topic of templates.
What is template (opens in a new tab)? According to Wikipedia’s Interpretation (opens in a new tab), the so-called template, or template, usually refers to a reusable template with fixed content that can build multiple different instances.
Speaking of templates, I think everyone should like them! From Blog Template (opens in a new tab), Presentation Template (opens in a new tab), web design templates, resume templates, note templates and even life planning templates…etc., you just need to enter some keywords to search, and it should be easy to find various templates on search engines such as Google, Baidu or Bing.
It seems that with a template, we don’t have to use our brains. We can extend and develop ideas according to the template’s style, which is convenient, fast, and less error-prone. Well, templates certainly have their advantages and can save a lot of time in conception, but I would like to remind everyone: we should choose templates carefully, not be limited by their fixed styles, and try to create our own new pattern of life based on the accumulated experience and foundation of our predecessors.
From presentation templates, web page templates to resume templates, why do you need these templates? The reason is very simple. This is because many people feel that they lack aesthetics and have no art design ability, so they hope to seek external assistance.
At seven o’clock last night, I was teaching at the “First New Teacher Training Camp (opens in a new tab)”, and I happened to share with you the marketing and publicity skills related to course enrollment. During the two-hour online course, I also talked to the students about the concepts and techniques of promotional materials, course promotion, and sales page design.
If you are interested in the design of product sales pages, I recommend you first read the articles I have written in the past, such as: How to turn the sales page into a money printing machine? Start with “setting goals” and “calls to action”, How to write sales page copy? Take the “Content Power: The Super Power of Building a Brand” online course as an example and Master the four principles to make your sales page eye-catching and profitable.
Of course, there are many ready-made templates for product sales pages. There are also many sales page design software or online services to choose from, which can help us shorten the time of designing the page, such as Canva (opens in a new tab) or Brizy (opens in a new tab), which are tools that I like very much and have paid for.
If you want to know more about sales page design tools or tips, please feel free to contact me! In addition, courses on product sales page design are also expected to be offered this year, so stay tuned.
In addition to giving lectures yesterday, I also read a new book. This is “Notion Life Management Technique: Starting from 0, Create Your Own All in One High-Efficiency Digital System (opens in a new tab)” published by KBA Group. The author is Ms. Mu Yangni (https://nomadni.com (opens in a new tab)), the co-founder of the well-known e-commerce company.
This book claims to be Notion (opens in a new tab)’s first complete guide in Chinese. It provides practical explanations and automation efficiency tips, hoping to help readers grow from work to dream reality, and grasp the most comfortable life balance. What’s even better is that the book also comes with 27 original templates created by Muyangni.
Of course, as the founder of Taiwan’s largest note-taking community (opens in a new tab), I am no stranger to the software Notion. To be honest, it is more like an old friend that has been with me for several years. Notion is quite powerful and is no longer just a digital note-taking tool. Therefore, I agree with Ms. Muyangni’s statement that it is a productivity software, and I also think it is very suitable to use Notion to build my own life management system.
Unlike other computer books, which are mostly heavy, this new book is not too long, and it is printed in full color, making the content easy to understand and easy to read. If you are interested in learning Notion to build your own digital note-taking or management system, I am happy to recommend this book to you.
In recent years, Notion has grown rapidly. Both Notion officials and other Notion enthusiasts have developed countless templates for this software. These templates are beautiful, generous, and easy to use. They are indeed worthy of a try by interested friends!
However, I also want to remind everyone: Notion is still a tool after all. It is important to be pleasing to the eye, but what is more worthy of our thinking is how to use it skillfully to maximize efficiency, so that our lives can be slow and fast, and be leisurely!
If you are interested in Notion, please leave a message and let me know! Maybe in this new year, we can form a study group and build the best life management system together.
