QuoteNotes

🪶 I was once afraid of people saying, “Who does she think she is?” Now, I have the courage to stand and say, “This is who I am.”

— Oprah Winfrey

ToolNotes
🔥 My weekly recommendations on tools and tech that I have found to be helpful to the online entrepreneur. Asterisks (*) show affiliate links.

1. Reap Easily create viral shorts with automated captions for LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube from your long-form video. I tried it out with the 48 min Sounding Board video and created this 1 min clip. And it spits out a text blurb to add to the video description or social media post.*

2. Lu.ma Stand-out by using this app to create events, send SMS invites, and chat with your attendees right from the Luma iOS app. It also collects tax/VAT for paid events.

3. Smartrazor Speed up editing your YouTube videos using this AI tool. Test it with the one month free trial.

Suggest your favorite tool for running an online business and get your business mentioned in the next newsletter edition if selected.
