Rent Your IP on a Short-Leash Contract You Can Cancel in 30 Days Ditch the typical 3-year exclusive clause with a 30-calendar-day license. Insert in section 4(b): "Either side may end with 30 calendar days’ email notice; upon exit all IP revert back to you, licensee must kill use, destroy or ship masters, and pay any unpaid royalties within 7 days." Cap the territory to a sole outlet–e.g., "Amazon US only"–and cap the SKU count to a max of five products. Collect 12 % of net royalty, remitted every 30 days, with review rights 1× per 12 months on 10 days’ heads-up. Require Q sales reports in .xlsx format, auto-generated from the partner’s Shopify or WooCommerce admin, shot to ip@yourdomain.com by the 10th day after quarter-end. Bolt on a liquidated-damage clause: $2,000 per day for ongoing use after termination, plus legal fees. Store the deal on HelloSign; keep a executed PDF in a private Google Drive folder visible solely with your intellectual-property lawyer. Re-use the same shell for each new partner–swap SKU list, royalty rate, and market in under 15 minutes.

Secure the rule in cloud storage permissions. Set Google Drive to "view only" for the client until the second signature is captured. The moment it lands, an automated Zapier script upgrades access to "comment" and pings Slack. Zero manual toggles, zero leaks.

Hide the key in an shell variable, not ever in the repo. Swap it each 3 months; one click within the Bunny dashboard invalidates all active URL in one go. Track abuse by adding the visitor’s IP onto the protected path–if the token is replayed from some other address the signature flunks.

Minute 25–30: Pick one. Dot-vote with Sharpies; each voter gets three dots, no dot bigger than another. The stickie with the most dots becomes the prototype target. Assign owner, deadline, and metric before the timer screams.

Want a UI? Open the zero-cost Bunny FTP explorer, context-click the file, hit "Generate signed link," pick 1 h, 1 day, or 7 days, and copy. The panel writes the token automatically. Plays for MP4s, ZIPs, APKs up to 5 GB sans throttling.

Queue orientation tasks in a Trello board duplicated from a "50-task starter kit"; the VA completes day-one setup in 94 min, average. Record Loom videos for anything done more than two times; total training spend stays under $120.

Drop the file, copy the 33-character ID, plug it into this skeleton: https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1A2B3C…&confirm=t. Slap that string behind any CTA button–nary an extension, no opt-in gate, no 24-hour wait.

Pick a Zero-Code File-Host That Offers Password & Expiry Controls Pick convert Google drive Link to direct link in case you require 256-bit AES locker with per-file passwords and timed-death counters down to the single hour. Drop, flip "lock & expire," set a 12-character floor PIN, select 72 h window, grab the URL–finished. Nada API keys, zip scripts.

Map the approval chain in the onboarding packet. List two columns: Client Signatory (max one name) and Studio Signatory (the person who holds the color palette, typography, and motion bible). Send a DocuSign template that enforces the sequence—client signs first, studio second. If the second box stays blank, the file stays on the server; the deadline clock pauses, and rush fees kick in automatically.

Generate Instant Download URLs in Half a Minute Open the file inside your cloud storage, tap the three-dot menu, pick "Get link," flip the permission to "Anyone with the link," grab the URL. Replace /file/d/ with /uc?export=download&id= and strip everything after the file ID. The new string closes with &id=YOUR_FILE_ID; drop it into a new tab–download kicks off immediately, no preview page, no sign-in prompt.

Keep the grid wall within arm’s reach of your desk; closeness drives daily review. Refill empty slots from the holding pile only on Fridays; this limits WIP at 25 and blocks assumption sprawl. After four weeks the done ribbon should outweigh the grid 2:1; if not, tighten experiment scope or up the evidence bar to 3/5.

Anchor every royalty deal to a 3-year limit plus built-in reversion if sales fall below 80 % of the trailing 12-month mean. This lone clause has kept Melbourne creative house Marra&Co from being gobbled by two back-to-back acquirers; founder S. Marra still approves every colorway, yet bulk income leapt from 1.2 M to 7.9 M AUD with zero extra hires.

LinkShield: Chrome extension → right-click any file → "Limit Link" → enter the number → click "Activate". Link returns 404 once counter hits limit+1; counter clears only if you manually toggle off. GSheetQuota: Make a minimal Google Sheet with columns: URL, Limit (250), Current_Count (formula =COUNTA(IMPORTRANGE("opt-in_sheet","A:A"))). Publish sheet as TSV and feed it to a lightweight PHP endpoint on your server. When tally ≥ cap, the script patches the .htaccess rule and kills the route. Pabbly + Condition: Trigger: Fresh entry in your opt-in Google Sheet → Action: Filter by Zapier (only proceed if row number = 250) → Action: Drive API → Move file to a private folder that has "Prevent viewers from downloading" enabled and no public shares. Link dies instantly because the resource key changes.

Reclaim half-used quotas: Quota Guard keeps a exportable log of every lead that triggered. Import the list into your ESP and tag them "fulfilled" so the future campaign ignores the gate and sends a new asset instead of the gone one.
