• How to outsource effectively without micromanaging

SOP Like a Creator, Not a Corporation

Because complexity is not a badge of honor. Clarity is.

🧠 ONE Smart Idea

You don’t run a Fortune 500. Stop building like you do.

Most SOPs fail for small founders because they're too heavy, too detailed, and too corporate.

What you need instead is an SOP style designed for your reality:

• Quick to create

• Easy to follow

• Built to evolve as you do

Build SOPs for the business you actually have, not the imaginary one you think you should.

📖 Story Spark

A founder I helped had a single VA and a 26-page SOP for posting on Instagram.
It looked impressive—but her VA still got things wrong.

Why?

Complexity overwhelmed clarity.

So we scrapped the corporate style and created a 3-slide SOP deck instead:

• Slide 1: Input (what triggers the task)

• Slide 2: Process (simple steps with visuals)

• Slide 3: Identity Check (her tone + visuals)

Instant shift: posts got done faster, quality improved, and stress disappeared.

Complexity is rarely the solution.
Clarity almost always is.

⚙️ Tactical Application: Mini SOP Deck Framework

Simplify your SOP into 3 slides or pages:

Slide 1: Input & Outcome

State simply:

• What starts the process?

• What is the clear outcome?

Example: “Trigger: Weekly blog outline drafted → Outcome: Blog post scheduled”

Slide 2: Simple Steps

List ONLY the essential steps clearly:

• Do this first

• Then this

• Then this

Use screenshots or quick Loom links if visual clarity helps.

Example:

• Draft blog intro

• Paste draft into ChatGPT SOP template

• Proof, schedule, and hit publish

Slide 3: Identity & Quality Check

The filter questions that guarantee consistency:

Example:

• “Does it sound conversational?”

• “Would I share this personally?”

• “Does this clearly serve our reader?”

Done.

💸 Make Money With AI

Strategy: Sell “Creator SOP Kits” as micro-products.

Steps:

• Create a 3–5 SOP “deck” bundle for common creator tasks (content scheduling, newsletter sending, social post creation)

• Use GPT to draft quick explainer pages

• Add visual templates (Notion, Canva)

• Sell your SOP Deck for $19–$49 on Gumroad or Etsy

• Upsell: DFY customization or personal consulting ($199–$499)

Creators crave simplicity. Sell them exactly that.
