How You Pictured It

This week I'm sharing my newest favorite tools and softwares in my creative small business. I'm talking time management, AI, and SOP tools to get back hours and make your life as a creative entrepreneur easier. Here's what I'm loving lately:
1. Descript - A powerful software used for recording podcasts, audio, video, and screen sharing. It also transcribes the audio and creates a script. You can then edit directly from the transcript, eliminating the need to work from waveforms and timelines!

2. Otter.AI - Joins Zoom calls to create summaries, transcripts, and notes. Helps with keeping track of conversations without the need to write notes. Allows for easy referencing and searching through the transcript or summary. Can pull screenshots from the call for additional context.

3. Tango - A tool for creating standard operating procedures or tutorials for how to do something on the internet. It records each step users take on a web page, transcribes the process, and provides directions. Procedures can be shared via a link and include pictures of the steps taken. The transcription and directions can be edited and altered.

4. Reclaim.ai - A tool for time management and scheduling. It helps figure out where different tasks fit into a schedule, saves time, and allows for time-blocking. It automatically schedules and rearranges tasks as needed and locks in certain time periods to prevent others from scheduling during those times.

5. Cast Magic - A one-time purchase software that uses chat GPT AI technology to process long-form video or audio content. It can generate episode summaries , show notes, and help you share your content with things like instagram reel ideas or captions.

6. MissingLettr - A tool available through AppSumo that helps repurpose content by creating drip content for social media based on long-form blog posts. It breaks down the content into multiple social media posts, which can be customized and makes repurposing content so much easier! Get more traction out of the content you are already creating and drive traffic to your long form content.
Bonus: AppSumo - A platform for software developers to launch beta versions of their products or gain a large number of users at once by offering discounted or lifetime prices. This is a great place to find new softwares!

Anything that helps me save time AND do my job as a creative entrepreneur better is worth checking out! Let me know if you try any of these tools!
