So here's the power tools to help you leverage your time
and energy, always want to use the right tool.
Sometimes if you're trying to do a job with the wrong tool,
you get frustrated, you lose, you kind of give up.
So use the right tool.
Definitely gonna try to automate repetitive tasks,
you know, enhancing the content quality
without getting too bogged down in the tech.
So all of these are gonna be very simple, easy to use tools.
Like, are you gonna be able to do everything on the tool
right as you open it?
Maybe not, but I think within an hour or two,
you get really familiar with it.
You'll feel like you're in control of it.
These all are designed for people who are not video editors,
people who are not, you know, authors or, you know,
content writers, the goal is to like, you know,
kind of save like for your average person,
like just to be able to use.
So it just helps you go a little faster.
And at the end of the day,
like we're trying to help you share your message
and get away from some of this busy work.
So these are the tools that we would recommend using
just to save some time and help get you back
to focusing on your content and getting the message out.
Like we're talking with Robin,
leveraging his time to just capture the content
and then using other stuff to automate.
So the first thing is the one
you may have already known about,
but over in Tribe, we have the GPT.
I know you guys have been using this.
If I head over here, there's the AI tab.
So you can ask this to write a lot of different content.
These are some prompt ideas I put here.
So where you can say,
hey, give me five hooks for an Instagram reel
about helping people stop renting
and start owning their home.
And then you can keep, you know,
getting specific about that
and just kind of having a conversation with it.
It may give you those five viral,
we've trained the AI, this particular AI bot
on what a good viral hook looks like.
So it has some good context for you.
So hopefully you can just ask the question
and the first couple of versions should be pretty good.
You can say, hey, help me write a script
for a 30 second video on this topic.
What are common mistakes that people make with X
and how can I explain them in a post?
Same thing.
So just kind of, you guys get the idea.
These are great little, just ideas to get focused.
The other thing you can do is say,
hey, I'm planning out my content for the week.
Like, hey, give me the content calendar
for the next two weeks when I'm focusing on,
you know, entrepreneurship or digital marketing
or pick a topic.
And what that will do is it will just give you an outline
of like, hey, here's like, you could do this on Monday,
this on Tuesday and go through each of those.
AI is your friends.
You get, you'll kind of get to know how to leverage it.
But when I'm not feeling creative,
I start all these projects with AI
because it's always ready,
very willing to just jump in no matter,
it doesn't have a bad attitude, doesn't have a bad day,
but always has some helpful things to share.
Video editing, highly recommend Descript.
I'll drop these links for you.
And it's just a great editor.
The goal with this is, I think I've shared this before,
maybe where you drag your,
you just drag and drop your video from your phone
or from your webcam into this.
And the entire video gets transcribed.
So you see like a Word doc on kind of context on the left.
And on the right is the video.
So as you edit the kind of Word doc on the left,
it actually edits the video for you on the right.
So if you delete a sentence,
it will just take that part of the video out.
So you don't have to put the video on a timeline
and cut it and move things around.
You just work on what's the content,
and then it will sort of do all the cuts for you.
And when you're done, you can actually publish it from here.
It'll export the video for you.
It does the caption,
since it went ahead and transcribed everything,
you can see it's putting the captions
all highlighted nicely there and makes it look great.
This is something, if you just look,
this little studio sound checkbox that's over there,
that's gone away now, is amazing.
I don't know what they do to it, what magic it is,
but we have crazy audio processing things.
I will still bring it into Descript,
push that button and export again sometimes,
just because it's so, so amazing.
Marcello is giving me a thumbs up.
So you've tried it.
It just goes from sounding like you're like an echoey room
to like this really crisp podcast mic.
It's pretty cool.
So those will all make it sound really good
with an iPhone, a webcam,
something that you already have.
And it's worthwhile getting to know this tool,
because the learning curve is very small,
but then you can do quite a bit with it
once you kind of know it.
They also have some cool AI things as well.
If you jump into it, they can search through your script
and try to remove the ums and ahs, cut things.
You can export it, you know, in different formats,
all kinds of stuff.
So there's one, I haven't tried this personally,
but it's kind of a new feature with them,
but you can put your script like to the right of your camera
and just read the script looking kind of off camera
to the right.
And when you're done, it will like take your eye.
Balls and like move it back to the camera.
I don't know if that works or if all of a sudden it looks really cross-eyed.
Oh, Michelle says she's done it.
Awesome.
Okay, great.
Yeah.
So, you know, there's all these little tools that you're like, oh,
that's how everybody's doing, doing this.
They're just using the right tool and it makes it go a lot faster.
So for the scheduling, we are using Vista social.
I think it's like 20 bucks a month.
It's a great way to, to buy back your time each month.
So you can plan, schedule, automate all these things.
The goal would be to take it from Descript, let's say, um, download the video file.
You can add the music in Descript.
You can add the captions, do all the editing and stuff in Descript and just
take the end file and, and upload it one time to Vista social.
So I'll just give you a quick behind the scenes here of what this looks like.
I'll create a new post.
I will come in here.
I didn't mean to do this, like maybe right on the fly, but you
can upload from your computer.
We'll see if I can grab a quick file here.
So it uploads the file one time, and then I can click over to the right here and,
or down to the left here and see which channels we want to send this to.
I want to send it to Instagram, YouTube shorts.
I want to send it to X.
I want to send it to, and we'll just do all of the things and TikTok.
So now we're going to eight different places and you can see
all these lit up on the right.
So I can write, here's my awesome description.
Don't use that.
But if you hit the little, I think there's like a little thing here, you
can actually use some AI right here to say what you want to say and then have
it be, make it funny or make it promotional or make it catchy or inspirational.
You can make it, once you write something, you can hit a button to
shorten it to make it longer and it will use AI to, to process those for you right
here, and then you've got the video, we've got this, you can do hashtags
and things like that, and then it will take that and then you can, if you want
to, you want to feel like you're really in control of it, you can click on each
of these icons and see what it's going to look like on the platform.
So you can see here, like, it's gonna look a little different on X YouTube
shorts will look good and it's placing all of the icons and stuff around.
So you can kind of see what it's going to look like on that platform.
And then on each of these, you can go further and let's say on Instagram or
like you, you were here and you, you know, linked to something like Google.
That will work on Facebook.
Of course, it'll work on X.
I think it works on, it doesn't work on YouTube or Tik TOK, but as what you can
do in here is like, just go in here and actually delete, you know, the link here
or say Lincoln bio at that point.
So you can do that and then you can publish it right now.
I can hit schedule.
It'll even do, you can do like a queue system where you just add it to the queue
and it will put it at some point for you.
You don't have to think about when to post it or any of that.
And of course you can go through and go through each of these things.
So it does little warnings.
Oh, you need a video title.
Great.
You know, just try to get a trial and like, see if it, if you like it.
One of the cool things as well.
Yes.
Is you can go to reports here and run like a nice social media performance
reports so you guys can see what we're working on for, let's say like last week.
I can, you know, just pull what, what we did.
Let's say like the 29th.
This is fine.
So I'll just leave it there, but you can see how many followers posts,
but the engagements, like I can keep scrolling down, see where the followers.
Oh, we went up on, you know, YouTube.
We went, you know, a little bit, you've kind of stayed the same on X audience
growth here, you can see which, which posts I think you actually run this
report called post performance and then see everything that you're doing.
So I got 9,000 impressions in the last few days.
This is kind of a weird, sorry.
It's just bothering me.
Let's do the fifth.
We'll just do 26 of the first.
We do everything in a week.
I just highly recommend keeping a week is something that's maintainable.
So you can see we posted 15 times, which was 44% less than the week before.
It's okay.
So everything's kind of down.
Cause we did like, we probably did less posts and then you can see the
engagements and if you keep going down, you can actually see which posts
this one got eight and you can sort them.
So which one was the most impressions?
Oh, this one here.
And if you click on it, it'll take you right to it and just check it out.
I'm like, oh yeah, that was an interesting one.
And you may see there's, you know, I could sort by comments, for example.
Most of these aren't getting any comments, but this one did.
You can also from this platform.
So that's, there's like reports and analytics, and then you can also go to
your inbox and you can reply to every single one of your platforms in one place.
It's almost like an email inbox.
And I can now quickly like jump in and see all of these posts and I can quickly
just reply from here and then just send it out so I can quickly just clear these out.
They'll get off the list and then you kind of get to zero inbox zero.
And then you can keep, you know, and so the batch replies, super cool.
Yeah.
Just to see all your comments, you make sure you don't miss anything ever.
Cool.
So that's, that's Vista social check it out.
And I think, I think there's like a, I think it's like 19 bucks.
I think that's what, what it is.
you. This one was by far the cheapest and it seems to work the best.
