How to Find Helpful Tutorials
There's a method to seeking out the right tutorials. And once you know this research trick you'll be able to find anything and learn anything online.
The beautiful thing about the internet is that
there is so much information readily available from people who have been
generous enough to share their knowledge.
Customers
often contact me struggling to figure out a new software program or how
to create a specific project with one of my templates.
The questions asked are usually vague or broad in scope and almost never hone in on the very first obstacle at hand. Instead the customer is focused on the end result they want instead of breaking the project down into logical and sequential steps. And that's really the basis for what I'll be talking about here.
THINK SMALL
The first issue most beginners have is thinking about their project in it's final form and then asking questions based on the end result they're looking for.
It kind makes sense right? If you're trying to design planner stickers for example, you might naturally try searching for tutorials on 'how to design planner stickers'.
This approach though likely won't bring up an abundance of results, and the ones you do get aren't as likely to address your specific needs.
Instead of thinking about the project as a whole, you need to break it up into a series of processes. And then search for tutorials for each specific process.
There will be an abundance of tutorials showing you how to do each step as a general process, rather than a project specific tutorial.
