I had to build a 𝟯𝟬-𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝘀 for a presentation next week. There was ZERO chance I was spending hours inside Canva or PowerPoint. Also… I was on a flight, mid-movie (Formula 1 with Brad Pitt — hubba hubba 😏). So I wrote the copy then built the slides 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 using 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸.𝗮𝗶. Here’s the quick rundown 👇 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸.𝗮𝗶? An AI tool that turns written content (Word docs, pasted copy, outlines) into a structured presentation fast. It creates slide titles, bullets, and flow so you’re not starting from a blank deck. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁? - Free: $0 - Plus: $19.99 p/m annually or $24.99 for one month - Pro: $199.99 p/m annually, or $249.99 for one month 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗮 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼? - Skips the blank-slide phase - Cuts hours of manual slide building - Lets you create a solid first draft anywhere (yes, even on a plane) - Frees up time for strategy, reviews, and actual marketing work 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱: 1.

𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗘𝗦: - In order to download your slides, you can't be on the free plan, so you'd need to pay $24.99 for 1 month. - GenSpark.ai does MORE THAN JUST SLIDES and is worth time spent playing around the platform. - You can download slides as PowerPoint and/or Google Slides in order to tweak them into perfection. Or if they are perfect already, you can download as a pdf. (Sample slides shown are from my actual presentation and were produced in minutes. I did not change them at all so you can see the quality of what was produced.)

Don’t hate the player, hate the game. 😏 In this week’s Tech Tool Friday, I’m breaking down one of the fastest ways to create a fully customized song. The days of paying someone thousands of dollars to write a song for you? Pretty much gone. And yes, I know AI is a touchy subject for some people who are worried about it replacing jobs. That’s not my lane. I just share tools and information that help you be more creative, work faster, and get better results. Use them or don’t, it’s totally your call. The tool we’re talking about today is Suno (suno.com). Suno is an AI-powered music creation platform that lets you generate original songs (vocals and instrumentation included) using simple inputs like text prompts, mood or genre descriptions, or even uploaded audio. You can use it right in your browser or on mobile, and it also includes a built-in audio workspace if you want to tweak things further. At its core, Suno takes an idea in your head and turns it into a complete music track…fast!! How Much Does Suno Cost? Suno uses a credit-based subscription model: 🆓 Free (Basic) Tier - Cost: $0 - Credits: 50 credits per day (1 song “costs” 10 credits and Suno will give you 4 options for that song) - Usage rights: Non-commercial (you cannot use the music commercially on this tier) - Best for: Testing the platform and free exploratory use. 📈 Pro Plan - Cost: about $8–$10/month (cheaper if billed annually) - Credits: ~2,500 per month (~500 songs) - Usage rights: Commercial use allowed - Benefits: More credits, priority generation, longer uploads, and advanced features. ⭐ Premier Plan - Cost: about $24–$30/month - Credits: ~10,000 per month (~2,000 songs) - Usage rights: Commercial use allowed - Benefits: Highest capacity, best for volume and professional usage. Notes about credits: - Daily credits reset on the free tier, monthly on paid plans. - Credits don’t roll over, but paid users can buy extra credits if needed.

Starting Friday, January 2nd I’m kicking off a new weekly series inside this community focused 100% on practical AI tools for marketers. I know I've already started this habit a few weeks ago, but I'm making it more routine. Every Friday, I’ll break down one specific AI tool I use to save time, save money, and boost creativity on real marketing projects. For each tool, I’ll share: - The name of the tool - Where to get it (link / access details) - Pricing (free / paid and what I’m on) - Exactly how I use - Any promo codes or discounts I’ve found My goal: take the overwhelm out of “AI for marketing” and just show you what’s working in the real world so you can plug it into your own work fast. How you can get the most out of this: - Check in here on Fridays for the new AI tool post - Ask questions in the comments about how to adapt it to your projects - Share your own tips if you’re already using the tool - Comment what type of tools you want next (copy, ads, research, analytics, etc.) First AI tool drops January 2nd. See you then!

While your competitors are booking expensive film crews 💸 You’re over here typing prompts 💰 Same vibe. Wildly different price tags. For this week’s Tech-Tool Friday, meet Sora 2. If you haven’t experimented with it yet, this is your nudge. I’ve been using Sora 2 since the beginning of October, and the improvements in features and ease of use are noticeable. Cost: Free if you already have the $20/month ChatGPT membership. How to Get Started: 1️⃣ Create an OpenAI / ChatGPT account (Plus plan / $20 p/m) 2️⃣ Download the Sora app (iOS) and log in with your ChatGPT credentials 3️⃣ Set up your profile/character • Sora captures your face (quick head turns) • Records your voice (a few spoken lines) That’s it. You’re ready to start creating videos. I won’t dive into how to make videos here, since YouTube already has that covered in depth. A Few Helpful Notes: • Features differ between desktop and mobile, so test both • There’s currently a daily cap on video generation (~fifteen 15-second videos in a 24 hour period) • You can generate 3 videos at once • Prompt quality matters • I often use Claude to help structure prompts (lighting, time of day, location, camera angle, director style, video type, emotion, on-screen text, etc.). Not required, but the results are noticeably better. • On-screen text spelling can be hit or miss, so use sparingly, unless you are a VERY patient person. • All videos will be generated with the outfit you are wearing during your profile set up. In order to change your outfit in the videos, you can: - Specify what people are wearing in your prompt. It can be as easy as: “wearing a business casual outfit”. - Change your profile video as often as you want. How to Use This For Marketing: - Create a "series" for people to binge watch on socials - To create a storyboard for your marketing team for a larger endeavor - Tip: Quickly add a professional outro for branding via Descript or Capcut. Bottom line: If video has felt “out of reach” because of cost, time, or complexity… it’s worth revisiting that assumption. If anything, Sora is fun to play with on a personal level.

If you use DM's in LinkedIn then I've got an amazing tool for you!💡 It's called Kondo. A few of my business friends and I met with the owner last night for him to walk through the platform with us. (Booking time with him is EASY, there is a button to access his calendar after you sign up.) ...and I'm HOOKED!😍 The premise is to use Kondo similarly to e-mail: 1) Your GOAL is to always have your "inbox" clean and empty 2) You check it daily and reply to new messages. 3) You file contacts into "folders" (tags) to reference later OR 4) Archive the contact/conversation (can be accesses at anytime after its archived) How to do it: 🎯 1) Use this link for 2 MONTHS FREE (Until Dec 9th): https://app.trykondo.com/teams/9cc32ac7-d7fc-4e73-b0e3-c65878556b22 2) Pick the plan you want (no credit card needed for the 2 free months) 3) Watch the intro video 4) Book a call with the Founder, or click ? in bottom right for more videos and practice tools Costs after 2 free months: $288 Basic Annual Plan $384 Business Annual Plan $480 Enterprise Annual Plan ‼️TIP: You'll want to archive all your old messages first. We all archived anything older than 3 months. That took my DM box from 2000 messages down to 816 messages. 😆 Let me know if something like this is helpful. I will keep the tools coming! Also, DM me in LI if you want help.💓
