Productivity and systems
How to organise your work so it doesn't depend on memory: routines, checklists and processes written once, used every time.
Dan's free newsletterUN-BLOCK Yourself!
What unblocked me, sent to you too: productivity systems, Notion templates, AI put to work, automations, Google and marketing. 1-2 emails a month, with something you can apply right away.
- Free, 1-2 emails a month
- Ready-to-use resources: templates, workflows, prompts
- Written by me, from real projects
Six topics, one question: what's blocking you?
Every email starts from a real block, from my work or my clients', and ends with a system you can copy.
Notion
Templates and structures I use for clients, projects and content, ready to duplicate into your workspace.
AI in practice
Where AI actually helps a small business: prompts, agents and automations that give you hours back, not demos.
Automations
Ready-to-import n8n workflows that connect your store, email, CRM and ads without manual work.
Google Ads & Analytics
What Google changes, what matters in your account and how to measure properly without drowning in reports.
Marketing and email
Campaigns, newsletters and pages that sell, with examples from real projects.
Every email, in three blocks
The block
A concrete problem that eats time, money or patience. Usually one I've had myself.
The system
How I solved it, step by step, with the tools I use every day.
What you take away
The template, workflow or prompt, ready to use. Plus what didn't work, so you don't repeat the mistake.
Until the first email, read this
Google Ads
How I connected WooCommerce to Google Ads Customer Match with n8n, automatically, before Black Friday
The Google Ads buyers list had 0 members. I connected it to WooCommerce with n8n and the Data Manager API: every completed order now reaches the list automatically, hashed with SHA-256. The steps, the normalization rules and what broke on the first test.
Instagram and DMs
Instagram DM automation: a guide for businesses and personal brands
What a late DM reply costs you, what a business or personal brand can automate on Instagram and what a flow that brings in clients looks like, without sounding like a robot.
Before you sign up
How often will I get emails?
1-2 a month. When I have nothing useful to say, I don't send.
Does it cost anything?
No, it's free. Sometimes I'll mention a DanBlocks product or service when it fits the topic of the email, but most emails are resources.
Who is it for?
For founders, freelancers and personal brands who want to work in a more organised way and grow without adding extra hours. You don't need to be technical: I explain every step.
