LIVE RECAP: What We Covered Tonight (For Anyone Who Missed Out)
LIVE RECAP: What We Covered Tonight (For Anyone Who Missed Out)
Tonight’s live session was all about getting everyone properly set up, confident, and ready to create — and it turned into one of the most practical and eye-opening trainings we’ve had so far.
Here’s a full breakdown of what we covered:
Technical Setup + Screen Recording
We started by testing audio, video, screen sharing, and the new screen-recording tool.
Had a few sound issues (as always!) but got everything sorted so everyone could hear clearly.
I’ll be setting up the full system for SKOOL tomorrow so everything’s smooth for future sessions.
Canva’s New Upgrades (Massive Game-Changer)
I took everyone through Canva’s latest updates — and these honestly replace several paid tools:
Video editor upgrades
Email templates + sequences
Built-in forms
Website & landing page builder
Better animations & transitions
You can now:
Build an email funnel
Capture subscribers
Create landing pages
Design video content
Edit your branding
…all inside Canva.
I also showed how I’ll record a tutorial to walk everyone step-by-step through the new features.
AI Tools for Image & Video Creation
We explored a stack of AI tools:
GPT Chat / Claude / Lemon Slice
How I create high-res images
How to edit or manipulate photos
How to build content fast with scripts
When to use each tool for different strengths
Affinity Studio Overview
Then I showed you my favourite free alternative to Adobe:
Pixel vs vector graphics
Logo creation
Retouching
Advanced image manipulation
I explained why you still need manual skills, not just AI — this is what separates creators from button-pushers.
Social Media Content Creation
I demoed how I’m using Croak and AI to create:
Headshots
Promo images
Carousels
Sequences
Website-linked posts
I also shared how I make small income from views, how analytics works, and how to target:
Age 35–44
Age 45–54
Age 25–35
Plus the importance of joining local business groups to promote your services completely free.
Business & Traffic Strategy
We talked about learning to:
Create your own content
Drive your own traffic
Use analytics to see what’s working
Build an advantage by developing skills (not outsourcing everything)
I shared my methods for understanding search terms, real traffic sources, and why skill beats “luck” every time.
Digital Income, Platforms & Selling
We discussed:
How some creators earn huge incomes on platforms like SKOOL
The role of YouTube
Affiliate marketing
Building your own ecosystem
Whether to release merch, T-shirts, templates, etc
Pricing tiers for when the community grows
Canva Video Creation Tutorial
To wrap up, I showed:
How to create polished videos in Canva
How to edit: cuts, transitions, music, overlays
How to repurpose for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok
Using Canva forms for email capture
Why branding consistency matters
And I encouraged everyone to practice and share progress inside SKOOL.
