Stage the assets: one sub-folder per level, a single Apps script that records the payer’s email on every copy event, and a 120×600 web banner exported as transparent PNG. Moments later the banner sits inside an newsletter, the script is approved, and the first $3 tip triggers the receipt plus the shared-drive invitation. Nil additional tinkering–scale to ten thousand simultaneous clones without hitting the 750-gig upload cap.
Keep the main bucket private; just the individual asset requires Viewer status. If you revise the graphic, commit the fresh file with the identical name and pick "Replace" so the public URL remains unchanged—zilch dead links later.
14-second trick: feed the original URL into https://sites.google.com/site/gdocs2direct/ and press "Generate direct address".
Mass shortcut: tag ?key=YOUR_API_KEY to https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/FILE_ID?alt=media; replace FILE_ID for each doc–curl or Sheets formula can spew out hundreds in under a minute.
Expiry play: add &expires=1700000000 (Unix timestamp) inside a tiny proxy script on Cloudflare Workers; the link vanishes without touching the source file.
Size watch: anything above 100 MB spawns a warning page; compress with ps2pdf -dPDFSETTINGS=/ebook input.pdf to keep below the threshold.
QR in 3 s: slap the final URL into https://api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code/?size=300x300&data= plus the string–print-ready code pops instantly.
Mirror the cooked link to clipboard.
Hit https://tinyurl.com/app → feed → edit suffix → wrapped; total clock time: 12 s.
Probe: open an incognito tab, feed, hit Enter–file lands in Downloads within two seconds.
Drive Browser Download Instead of Preview
Tag export=download to the file URL and fix the ID parameter to id=FILE_ID; the full string becomes https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1Ab2C3De4Fg5Hi6Jk7Lm8Mn9Op_QrStUv&export=download. Slap this into any anchor tag: Google Drive public direct link. Browsers see the header Content-Disposition: attachment, leaping the viewer and dropping the document right in the local Downloads folder.
Create a Public PDF Link in 15 Seconds
Ctrl-click the file → "Get link" → flip "Restricted" to "Anyone with the link" → copy the URL → replace /file/d/ with /uc?export=download&id= and delete everything after the next slash. Drop the new string–visitors pull the doc on the first click, zero preview page.
Snatch back 15 GB for free by wholesale-picking Gmail files in Drive
Open drive.google.com/drive/quota, click the 15 GB bar, flip to "Gmail" and press "→" adjacent "Attachments copied to Drive". The grid flaunts every .docx that arrived in Gmail and was auto-saved. Select the master box once–Drive selects 100 files at a go. Hit ⇧+↓ 20 times to mark 2 000 docs in 12 seconds. Tap Trash → "Send to bin" → "Nuke". Typical bulk of 2 000 email files is 1.3 GB; loop until the meter stops.
Nano: 15 % surcharge, next-day completion, zero revisions.

Maxi: +50 % fee, everything in Midi plus 30-day support Slack channel.
Ongoing: 3 Maxi-tier sprints per month, prepaid, 10 % discount.

Keep each tier under 120 characters so it fits inside the Gmail subject line intact.
Flip the default "Anyone with the link" permission to Editor, add /clone to the folder address, and paste the result behind a PayPal-hosted Donate button. The donor pays, arrives at the folder splash, clicks Add to my Drive, and the whole resource tree is theirs–no extra add-ons, minus Zapier zaps, zero code.
Craft a 3-Sentence Portfolio Hook That Converts Cold Clicks
Replace the hero paragraph on Behance with: "I scale Shopify stores into 7-figure earners–18 sites lifted AOV 34 % in a quarter–grab a free teardown to see the breakdown."
Track the request in a collaborative Google Sheet that auto-calculates total upsell worth; when the grand sum hits 2× the original quote, stop and offer the Retainer–conversion jumps to 54 % at that threshold.
Mine the "Careers" tab on Wellfound every Monday 6 a.m. PST; filter for early climate-tech with 10–49 employees. Snag founder emails with Hunter, drop them into a 3-step G-suite sequence: 1) subject "+$623 MRR per user in 7 days–video inside," 2) blink-and-you’ll-miss-it GIF of your motion mock, 3) final nudge offering a one-day paid pilot capped at $1,200. 27 % reply, more than half convert to monthly.
Color-code shared folders so teammates quit messing with the rogue asset
Right-click the team space → "Pick color" → choose #B50E0E for live assets, #0B8040 for drafts, #FAD165 for legacy. Stick the key in a 3-row Spreadsheet anchored at the head of every folder; freeze the Sheet to suggest mode so only leads can revise the color map.
Drop a 38-to-45-second Vidyard to the CMO of every SaaS that just bagged Series A; reference the exact slide in their deck where they boast about "product-led growth," then show a 3-frame mock-up of how your kinetic typography will boost trial-to-paid by 15–22 %. Win rate: 38 % on a batch of thirty, average ticket $$6.5–8.5 k, sans contract needed.
