🌟 here's what I really think, the full monty 🌟


✨ A Conversation Starter? ✨

I admit it enthusiastically. I like to talk. You probably knew that.

Yet it's a rare treat when someone really wants to know what I think about all the things... AI, TikTok, authenticity, social media marketing... You know! The things! 😃

Thank you, Lorraine Taylor for the opportunity to share about all this and more.


Here's some links* you might find useful:

ConvertKit
Wherever I'm forced to use MailChimp or (worse) Constant Contact for a client, I feel even better about making ConvertKit my go-to email marketing platform. Their company culture is aligned with my values. The platform is also feature-rich, intuitive to use, and solid... and I like their support.

Tella.tv
A new video app that I'm growing to depend on. It's vaguely like Loom but much more flexible because it records your screen capture separately from your talking head video. The result gives you the freedom to design our own video layout (or you can use one of their templates). For example, I like stacking my images above my video in a TikTok-friendly vertical format, like I did on this TikTok about Taylor Swift. I highly recommend this video app.

AI Creativity ChroniclesWeekly AI Tips to Spark Your Marketing Mojo 🎨 From Photoshop Panic to AI Video Power 🚀 Back in 1989, journalists worried that Photoshop would “end photography.” They said we’d never know what’s real.
