How to get opportunities | #156

This is how it helped me

Jan 31, 2025

Hi, I'm Pranav
I create content on YouTube where I share my processes and learnings.
Every Friday, in this newsletter, I share my process, thoughts, stories, ideas, and weekly recommendations.

I have made over 50 projects till now. It has given me a lot of opportunities. One of the best things I did while making proof of work was to create permissionless projects.

Permissionless projects are the kind of projects that you don’t ask for permission to make and make out of your passion and genuinely want to solve something.

So, how does it help make permissionless projects?

Let’s say you see a startup with a YouTube channel or a YouTube creator posting videos and not making good thumbnails for them.

Now what you do is, create better thumbnails for videos, reach out to them, share your work with them, and tell them that I have made better thumbnails for you, you can hire me as a full-time graphic designer or pay like a freelance project.

The same applies to any other project, such as writing, video editing, or website design. Figure out what someone is not doing well, improve it, and pitch it to them.

This is the best hack I have followed. Pair it with a public building, and they are a deadly combination. Here’s what I wrote about building in public.

Here are some of the permissionless projects I did:
