Okay. So it is that time of year again. I create one of these episodes at least once a year where I break down my entire tech stack. So if you've been around here for a while, you may be like, well, crystal, don't you just use the same tools all the time? No, and because we recently did the episode where we broke down why we moved from Kajabi to Mighty Networks, I was thinking this is probably a good time to go kind of behind the scenes and share with you some of the other really cool tools that we've adopted and some that we're really trying to implement more of, now that it's almost been a year since we did an episode just like this. So if you're wondering, what are you using behind the scenes, crystal, to create all your content? That is exactly what we're going to talk about today. So let's get right to it.
Speaker 1:Welcome to the Profit Podcast, where we teach you how to start, launch and market your content with confidence. I'm your host, crystal Profit, and I'm so excited that you're here. Thanks for hanging out with me today, because if you've been trying to figure out the world of content creation, this is the show that will help be your time-saving shortcut. So let's get right to it, shall we? Well, hello and welcome back to another episode of the Profit Podcast. If we have not met, my name is Crystal Profit. I am your podcast coach and content strategist and today, like I said in the beginning, we're breaking down behind the scenes of our tech stack and I wanted to categorize these in ways that would make the most sense to the broader audience here. So we have podcast production and editing, which is super important right. Then we have marketing and audience growth. Of course, we want to go into the details behind those. Then we're going to dive into community building and our membership tools. So I will share with you what I use and some of the suggested ones for building your audience and communities. Then we're going to dive into digital products and course creation and then my digital management and productivity tools. So I mean you can tell we already have a lot going on. So I just want to dive right in and we just we're going to start with the top ones, the ones that are most used, the ones that I log into all the time, and these are our podcast production and editing tools.
Speaker 1:So if you've been around here a while, you know I love Buzzsprout, like they are my people. I have been using them since 2018, since the beginning of this podcast journey and I love a few key things about what they offer that other platforms don't. The first one is dynamic content feature. I mean, come on, like being able to add a podcast ad to all of my episodes with just a click of the button. It makes it so simple, so easy. One of the other ones is I'm able to monetize my podcast with Buzzsprout ads and I can run ads on other Buzzsprout podcasts. So I just love all the native integrations between all the features they have. Plus, I would not get anywhere without their magic mastering and also co-host AI. These are some of the ways that I'm able to cut some of my other costs down for editing tools or having other features with multiple different platforms, and it's why I mean it should be no shocker around here I love Buzzsprout so much and so many of these tools that we're mentioning today. We are proud partners and affiliates with them, and Buzzsprout is the longest one. Now that I think about it, I was going to say, oh, it's one of the longest. I think it is the longest one that I have partnered with, so I'm glad we started right at the top in saying that. But I love Buzzsprout for podcast hosting and people ask me all the time well, what about this one, what about this one? And I'm like, honestly, I can't even do a good comparison because I only I love Buzzsprout. I love Buzzsprout. But I do love to see when people like say in the comments like, oh well, I've tried this and I've tried that and Buzzsprout is clearly the winner. So I feel good in my choices.
Speaker 1:The next one that I use for podcast production is actually Riverside. I'm using it right now to record this here today. I use Riverside for recording my podcast episodes, I use them for my interviews and I love how they've been continuously upgrading their features. So it's really a great interface behind the scenes to record content. And then I have my video editor, jay, or myself, if I'm going into, if he's getting the video or I'm going in to get the audio. It's really cool behind the scenes what you can do in there. You can actually edit inside Riverside too. So if you're kind of on a really tight budget, you could just use Buzzsprout and Riverside and pretty much be good to go.
Speaker 1:Some of the other tools that I suggest as well we have CastMagic, descript, squadcast and Swell AI. So these are other tools and features that I'm not going to go into great depth and detail. I don't personally use these all the time. These are ones that I've used kind of on a rolling cycle. I used CastMagic a lot when it first came out and then ChatGPT like soon followed, like I started getting more familiar with it. But what I do love about CastMagic is being able to categorize things in a really simplistic way that you can't do with ChatGPT. So, for example, if you're someone that records, let's say, virtual events maybe you have virtual meetings or workshops or coaching calls that you do with your clients Cast Magic really is great for you to transcribe those and figure out. Well, what can I do with this to help my audience consume these in a more digestible way? So I think that they have that feature going for them and just other ways for you to grab show notes and quotes and social content. They do that really really well over there.
Speaker 1:And then Descript is a fantastic editing tool. I mean, come on, like they were pioneering before, like editing text was even a thing, like it was so cool to see that, and I know so many of you use this platform. So if you have not checked it out, I highly encourage you, because you can edit a podcast episode like it's a Google Doc, or edit a video like just go through and you're like, oh my gosh, I said the word um so many times. I want to cut it out. You can do that very easily by going in, clicking, you know, remove filler words and all the cool editing things you can do. So I highly recommend Descript. I know a lot of people in this community use it.
Speaker 1:And then you have Squadcast. So squad cast is another great one for recording interviews or your episodes. I know Zach and rock they uh were actually acquired by descript, which is really cool, but they were on the podcast, uh, when they were just squad cast and, uh, I just I still think that they have such a cool feature for being able to record in a high quality studio setting and I definitely recommend them. You should go check them out. And then Swell AI we had Cody on last year, so he's the founder of Swell AI and there's a bunch of really cool clips like cutting that you can do. We actually created some videos about it, so we'll make sure and link to those, but I think just any tool that you can test out when it comes to AI, finding the one that's going to work best for you is definitely the way to go, because some people love this one, some people love that one. So I try to test them all and let you know the best features and which ones you should go with. So go check out Swell AI and see what you think about it.
Speaker 1:Okay, that wraps up our podcast production and editing tools. Now let's move on to our marketing and audience growth. Now, some of these I cannot believe that they exist, because it's like I sat down and said, oh my gosh, I wish that this existed. And boom, there it is Like it's. Oh, I found it. I found it. Creator Hooks Pro.
Speaker 1:This was a game changer for me last year. In the last year, I used it and was just like oh my gosh, like this is the thing that I've been looking for to help me with my podcast titles and my YouTube video titles. So what this is? It's actually a tool for helping you create higher converting episodes, and what I mean by that is like it's a tool that will help you get more clicks based on what you're trying to achieve. So, for example, I could write in this video is about podcasters and wanting to learn how to edit, create. You know so many different, I can't remember if it spits out like six or 10, all these different titles, and then it could be curiosity based, or it could be an open loop, or it could be about a question, or it could be for beginners. Like they have all these different options. So if you know the angle that you want to take for that specific episode, you can say, okay, I definitely want to use this. And I recommend getting on their newsletter, because even on their newsletter, if you're like I don't know if I'm ready to commit to the tool, like just on their newsletter, I get ideas every single week because they give it this score of like well, this is why this specific video performed really well. This is why this one didn't you know and like not so much. And they give like I get ideas for the podcast all the time. Just on that newsletter alone, I'm like, oh my gosh, that's such a great title, I should use that for the podcast. So definitely check it out. Creator Hooks Pro highly recommend.
Speaker 1:Another one for marketing and audience growth is Interact Quiz. So this is a quiz builder for lead generations and I think quizzes are such a fun way to grow your email list. I actually sat down with it was Damaris, over at Interact last summer when I went to the craft and commerce event this is Kits annual event in Boise, idaho and I sat down and she helped me build this quiz. That was super fantastic and it just makes it so easy, and all the AI tools they have on the back end can help you create a quiz in no time. So definitely go check out Interact. I think that they have just a fantastic platform and they have a lot of really great integrations that you can use across your entire business.
Speaker 1:Another one for marketing and audience growth y'all. I would not be anywhere without TubeBuddy. No, that sounds like oh my gosh, like that's a pretty dramatic. It is dramatic because it is a dramatic impact on what we do for our YouTube channel. So there's another similar tool called vidIQ. I have not used that one. I'm not as familiar with it, but TubeBuddy is the one that I've used since probably 2019, 2018, 2019.
Speaker 1:And I love it. I love it so much and it's like my ride or die on the back end of my YouTube channel, like if it's all of a sudden like if it isn't, I'm not signed in, or something happens and it disappears. I'm just like, oh my gosh, where is TubeBuddy? Like I cannot function without this tool, so it helps me with all of the different tags and optimization. It has this checklist that reminds me like, oh, crystal, you didn't do the cards for this, or you forgot your subtitles, or you need to go back and, you know, add in this other thing. Like it is my accountability buddy on the back end of our YouTube channel and I'm so grateful for that. I need all the accountability I can get because I don't remember all these things y'all, like I should. I've been doing. I've published over 500 YouTube videos. I still don't remember. I need the accountability to remind me. Like, crystal, you gotta make sure you optimize this thing so people can find it and they will discover your incredible content. Yes, yes, I will call my content incredible, because I do think that we do a great job around here of planning and preparing and all the things that we do behind the scenes.
Speaker 1:But we cannot talk about marketing and audience growth without giving a shout out to ChatGPT. I mean, come on, I pay for the $20 a month plan. It is worth every single penny, every single penny. I'm using it, my virtual assistant's using it Like I'm using it to plan family trips too. Like I'm using it for everything, literally everything. Like there's not a day this may be sad, I don't know, maybe I shouldn't admit this there's not a day that goes by that I don't have some sort of conversation with chat GPT because I have it on my phone. Like I have it on my phone and I'm like oh, I really need to plan this thing, I need to do this. And I'm like wait, why am I thinking about this? I whip out my phone and I say chat GPT, like help me plan you know the next four emails that I need to write. Or help me settle on a timeline that I need to do for my next launch. Or my webinar title sucks Like I need a better webinar title. Like, help me come up with five more ideas.
Speaker 1:So for marketing, for audience growth, for all of those things, absolutely ChatGPT. If you have not started using it, you should start using it. And we have some fun episodes on how you can use ChatGPT to actually do an interview. That's a fun one. If you miss that one, go back and watch it. It's absolutely worth checking out. But some of the other suggested tools that we have for marketing and audience growth are ConvertHub and Deadline Funnel. I use Deadline Funnel for years and it's one of those tools that is really going to help you feel a lot more authentic in your marketing. Because what happens is you could send someone to a page that has a Deadline Funnel and what will happen is, once the timer on that page expires like it's truly gone you can make offers expire, so you could say you have this offer for the next 15 minutes and after that it's gonna redirect you somewhere else, like it's you can't purchase the thing anymore. So highly recommend Deadline Funnel. It's a fantastic tool.
Speaker 1:And the other one is Sparkloop. Now I use Sparkloop inside Kit and what this is is I can actually make commissions on other people that are promoting their newsletters and they're like hey, you want to give us a shout out inside your newsletter? Great, we'll pay you X amount of dollars. It just depends on what the budget is for that specific newsletter. But I've been looking into this myself. I would actually love to set up a referral system for my newsletter.
Speaker 1:So I have a newsletter called Content Therapy where I send a newsletter to my list every single Friday. It's really fun and I share stories there. I don't share anywhere else and there's actually an audio version, so you can check out the audio version too if you love listening to podcasts. But Sparkloop is a tool that I can use to set up where I'm going to have people. Like if you sign up, you get on my list and then you refer a friend, then I'm going to send you a special gift. Or maybe you refer five friend, then I'm going to send you a special gift. Or maybe you refer five friends, then I'll send you an even specialer gift Specialer, a word, more special. You know what I'm trying to say. But maybe you recommend 10 people, then that's even better. So this is in the works. I cannot wait to use this, but I'm using Sparkloop to set up a referral newsletter tool and I am so stinking excited about it. So those are just some of the marketing and audience growth tools that I use.
Speaker 1:I didn't even mention Canva. I mean I could go on and on about all the ones I love, love, love Canva. I've created so much stuff about Canva already, but I'm just saying these marketing and audience growth tools can really be a game changer in your business. All right, let's move into community building and membership tools. I'm not going to go on a deep dive on Mighty Networks because, like I said, we just did that. We just did that recently. So, again, if you missed this video about why we moved from Kajabi to Mighty Networks, go check it out or go listen to it. Absolutely worth listening to.
Speaker 1:But this is where we host our Podcasters Connect community. You can go to crystalprofitcom forward slash join to learn more about this, but what it is is all of our digital products are now hosted within Mighty Networks. Profit Podcasting, the Ultimate Podcast Launch Toolkit, one Year of Content and One Hour, the Business Booster Bundle All of these are hosted inside Mighty Networks and it's where I recommend people. If they want to build a community and they know they want to have a digital product in a community together, where people can talk and chat and it's not on social media. Highly recommend Mighty Networks. I want you to go check it out because it's really incredible.
Speaker 1:But I want to suggest two other tools for communities If you're looking to do something really different in 2025 and beyond. Hello Audio is fantastic for creating private podcast feeds. I've done this myself and I've seen others do this really cool ways. Whether you're creating an audio podcast that's leading up to your launch, like maybe a private podcast instead of a webinar, or maybe it is a private podcast that leads into a webinar, that leads into your offer. But private podcasts are fantastic ways for you to build an intimate community where you know like, oh, these people had to opt in or maybe they had a purchase to listen to this specific podcast episode. They're just a lot more invested in what you're doing. Therefore, they're probably going to be higher quality leads to lead into whatever you're doing a membership, a coaching or maybe even a digital product. So highly recommend Hello Audio for your private podcast feeds, but you can also host a public podcast with them as well.
Speaker 1:And then another fun one is ManyChat. You've probably seen this on Instagram. You've probably used it on Instagram and they recently rolled out an integration with TikTok, which is super cool. But you've seen this where people say, hey, comment episode below and I'll send you a thing. I'll send you our latest episode or I'll send you a free gift or I'll send you whatever. But it's your way of connecting with your audience in a way where they comment one specific word, and then all of these cool automations happen on the backend, so that your chat bot, essentially, is doing all the work for you on the backend of your Instagram. Highly recommend I think it's really cool on how these work. I've seen all the automations and I think that there's a lot of potential there. Even if you don't have a million followers, it's a really cool tool that you can explore in growing your audience, connecting with your people and just bringing in more engagement to your social media channels.
Speaker 1:Okay, we're moving in. Okay, we got two more to go, two more sections Digital products and course creation tools and then we'll move into productivity and business management. Digital products I'm going to give another shout out to Mighty Networks. We just talked about them for community building, but again, they have made my life so much easier in my digital products. They're all housed in one place and I feel like I can just keep a better pulse on, like, well, what's happening with all of my products, not just this one central one like Podcasters, connect, but what's happening with all of my other things and how are people engaging with my digital products that way? So love Mighty Networks, the other ones that I want to give a shout out is Kit. I'm actually in the process of building out a Kit store and what that looks like is all of my templates and little things that don't really deserve like that fully fleshed out like course product, but it's more like a hey, this is a Kempa template that I use, or this is a spreadsheet that I want you to have that tracks everything, or this is a spreadsheet that I want you to have that tracks everything. Or this is a PDF download that costs you seven bucks. Like that's not really worth me building out an entire product within Mighty Networks, but what I can do with Kit is build an entire product where it has a checkout page, it has like a simple product description and people can actually pay me directly through Kit and it's all set up on the backend for me to receive Stripe payments and it's really cool and I love it so much. We only have a few products. This is actually something we're building out in the next few months where we're gonna have a more robust store where you're gonna have those low ticket digital products that you want to buy, those like $7 for creating a brand template for you, or that tracker that you want to use for your next launch. So highly recommend Kit for all things email marketing, but I think it's really one of those like secret Swiss Army knives for selling things too that I have underutilized. But I'm excited to lean in and use this a lot more.
Speaker 1:Let's cover some of the other digital products and course creation tools that I have used. I've used Kajabi. I used Kajabi for multiple years. I still think it's a fantastic product, but for me personally, when I moved to Mighty Networks, it was for the community aspect, and that's really it. I was really happy with Kajabi and I still think it's a great product. But I also use Teachable. This is another one. This was actually the very first online course creation tool that I used. I still think Teachable is a fantastic product.
Speaker 1:Whether you're a beginner or you've been doing this for a long time and you're looking for something that's really simple and intuitive, teachable is a fantastic. I was thinking of fan plastic. No, that's not it Fantastic place. There we go to create products. Another one is Leadpages. Maybe you've heard of Leadpages, but this is a great one for your lead magnets or getting people to convert. It's fantastic for really simple landing pages. And another one is Thrivecart. So this is a tool that I have used as an affiliate. I haven't used this for my product specifically, but I'm an affiliate for a few different programs and they use Thrivecart and it's so easy. It is so easy. So if you wanna know like what's a super simple tool that I can use just to get my digital product up and running, try Thrivecart. Like, check it out, because I think that it's one of those that's really intuitive and can help you.
Speaker 1:Okay, last one, for digital products and course creation. I put PodUp on here because it's one that I don't think that anyone should underestimate. It is a newer tool and I think that it is very useful for multiple reasons, but I think exploring what you could do for a digital product or courses could be really interesting. I think that you can use it as part of your marketing strategy and see where it can take you, but I think throwing it into kind of that like business umbrella of how could I optimize this to help me make more money or monetize my content is a really interesting way to look at PodUp. So make sure you check it out. Okay, we're rolling into business management and productivity tools.
Speaker 1:Probably my favorite I don't want to say I left like this is the best for last, but it kind of is. It kind of is Because we're talking about Asana. I love Asana. I eat, sleep, breathe. Asana I mean just as much as ChatGPT it's the most used. I mean, I'm in it right now, even when I'm reading this to you today. I'm looking at all of my notes. They are in Asana. I have it on my phone, I have it on my iPad. I love it. I cannot function without it. I cannot function without my Asana. I have a paid plan and I have used it for oh my gosh, 2018, 2019, maybe 2019. That feels more honest if we're thinking truthfully about this.
Speaker 1:2019 is probably when I started using Asana, and it's my project management tool that just keeps everything running smoothly. It keeps the lights on. Let's just call it that. Because I'm in there. My assistant is in there helping me all the time, like we're delegating different pieces of the business, we're mapping out launches, we're looking at the year we're putting when we're going to be out of office. Like this is how we are productive. But even if you don't have someone on your team, it is what I use forever as my accountability buddy, where I'm like oh, let me put some dates in here to hold myself accountable, because there's a lot of stuff that I need to get done and I need to put deadlines on them, and I can do that really easily in Asana Plus.
Speaker 1:I love how, when you complete a task, you hit the check button, there's this little it's like a narwhal that flies across the screen with unicorns and rainbows. It's fantastic. It's so fun. It's so fun. I think that's the other reason why I truly love it. But let me know if y'all want to hear any more about Asana, because we have a bunch of videos already on our channel that you can dive more into my love for Asana. I feel like I need to make another video Like it's we're due, like this is our yearly annual video for our tech stack. Like Asana is probably like we're due for an update. So maybe let me know in the comments if you wanna see how I break all of this down in Asana.
Speaker 1:But the next one for like speaking of like productivity, I use a virtual support wizard from, or virtual assistant from, virtual support wizard. This is the agency that I use and I trust and I honestly could not have done all the things that I've done in the last year without having support, and what I mean by this is having a VA that helps me keep my business running smoothly. So whether it is email support or it's helping you plan your content or schedule your content, or I mean I can only it's like endless. You hear it like. I'm like speechless, trying to think of it because I don't know what I would do. I don't know what I would do without support. It's one of those things where I was really rigid and kind of like I don't want to hire anyone, I should just do all this myself. To now I'm like, oh, please, please, help me with everything, because I've realized the power of delegation and outsourcing things that I am not good at, the things that I know somebody will do this 10 times better than me, probably 10 times faster, and I've really leaned into that. So if you wanna learn more about hiring a virtual support wizard or if you have any questions about it, let me know in the comments or reach out to me on Instagram. But I would love to chat with you about hiring a virtual support wizard. I have a special partnership with them. You can go to crystalprofitcom forward slash VSW to learn more, but I'd be happy to introduce you to Ed and his team over there because they are fantastic, they are incredible and they have so many talented people ready to work with you, and I mean they just I couldn't recommend them enough. They are incredible.
Speaker 1:But speaking of incredible tools, we are talking about ChGPT again. I got to shout it out because it does help me stay super productive. But the other tool that I love is Engie. So we've had Taylor on the show before. Make sure you go listen to that episode where we talked about Engie and all the different ways that it can help you in marketing your content and marketing your business.
Speaker 1:Like coming up with actual campaigns. Like where you can put in like, oh, okay, I wanna run this type of campaign. It'll spit out a list of like oh, these are all the things that you should do. Here's a timeline of by when you should do them and what that can look like to actually like set a budget for advertising or set a budget for this, or how much are you willing to invest in these specific pieces to get this thing up and running? But fantastic tool.
Speaker 1:It actually helped me realize where I was making most of my revenue about a year ago. I was like, oh my gosh, let me look at all the different strategy pieces and I realized the majority, the majority of my business comes from referrals and I had never sat down to think of, well, where is all this coming? I'm like, well, it's just coming, it's coming in, awesome, cool. But once I sat down and actually filled out my business plan and looked at goals and my strategy, I finally have a strategy now for my business, which I'm pretty embarrassed to say I didn't for a long time, but now I have it mapped out inside the tool and it actually is super fun and cool for me to go in there with my assistant and we can look at everything. We have dashboards to track all of our metrics. It's just such a fantastic tool. So again, shout out to Taylor, shout out to Angie, go check out our episode that we did because it was really fantastic.
Speaker 1:But some of the other suggested tools that we have are the Full Focus Planner. I mean this planner by Michael Hyatt is just so cool. I think that because it is a quarter at a time, it really helps you get laser focused on getting the most done that you can in a productive way without burning out. I mean those are all like the check, check, check, win, win, win for you to be super productive and not feel like you have a to-do list that's two miles long and I can't get to it and I get one thing done today and that's all I could do. Check out the Full Focus Planner if you're looking for a planner that can help you stay really organized and hit those big rocks that you want to hit in your business and accomplish your goals.
Speaker 1:The other one is Grammarly. Y'all, I love Grammarly. This episode is brought to you by Grammarly. It's not sponsored, but I'm just saying I couldn't have written the whole outline for this episode without Grammarly, because I use it so much. I use it in my outlines, I use it for my podcast episodes, I use it for, I mean, all of my emails. It's connected to my Google Docs, it's all my text messages, y'all. I use Grammarly on my text messages because I'm a terrible speller let's just be very clear about that and Grammarly helps me. It helps me sound like I'm a much better writer than I actually am and that makes me feel so special.
Speaker 1:But the other one that I want to list is Fiverr. So Fiverr can help you with so many things. So, if you're looking to create simple tools inside your business, I actually saw this productivity thing the other day where they were selling templates that you can download and upload into all of these specific tools and they were selling them on Fiverr. So someone could come in, customize the backend of your business and then it's like boom, you're ready to go. So Fiverr is a great place to look for outsourcing some of those tasks that are very, very specific and very highly skilled. Then I would check out Fiverr and see how they can help you. Oh my gosh, I feel like I rushed through this because we had so much to cover. But this is what happens when, I mean, I didn't even mention Senja. Senja is another fantastic marketing tool. I feel like we should do another deep dive on marketing tools in general and how I use them.
Speaker 1:But I just want to wrap up with really what we're doing over the next few months, because, as we're breaking down all of these tools, all of these strategies, you're actually going to see how all of this works in our business, because what we have coming up. So I'm recording this. We're in the middle of March when this episode goes out and we're in the middle of launching our Podcasters Connect program. So this is hosted on Mighty Networks. It's going to be integrated with Kit, where we send out all of our emails, and then it's going to be like all of this is going to be connecting together, where we host our monthly coaching calls, we do our audits and then we just do a lot of engagement in between, where we ask questions every single week on what can we like. So, for example, this month we're talking about getting to know your audience and ways to engage with them, learn more about them, some of the things that I do behind the scenes in my business. So Podcasters Connect is going to be a big deal in March and we're going to continue to promote this program every single month, and so all the tools that you heard about today are getting integrated into those launches. So if you ever want to see a behind the scenes, let me know. Comment below on what specific questions you have about how we do our launches and how all of these tools play in together, because I know I listed. I didn't even count how many tools we listed here today, but so many of them were briefly, briefly mentioned and I did not go on a deep dive. So if you want to see a deep dive on any of these, please let us know.
Speaker 1:The next thing we have is in April. We are launching our kit digital store and I could not be more excited. We've been working on these. We have been digging through, trying to see like what are some of the tools and templates. Actually, when we launch our annual audience survey report, which is coming so excited. We launched our annual survey in January and we are coming like from that y'all this is coming full circle because we just talked about knowing your audience and everything. Y'all told me that you want more templates, you want more worksheets, you want more PDF guides, you want more things that can help you be actionable in your content. That's where the idea of the store came from and I'm launching it on Kit and I cannot wait. It's going to be so fantastic and I can't wait to show you all the things behind the scenes once we get it up and running, and how you can create your own digital product store and what that looks like. And then in May we're going to be talking about Podcasters Connect again, because we have some fun stuff coming for the second half of the year and I mean, before we know it, we're going to be celebrating a year of Podcasters Connect and I just. It's such an incredible community.

Speaker 1:These tools are only a piece of the equation, because what really matters is you. It's you showing up, it's you creating your content, and I just like to give you all the options that can help you make your content that much better. And in 2025, if you are looking to level up, if you're wanting to explore other ways that you can get better at creating your content, you just need to decide where are those key zones that you really need to hone in or perfect your skills or get better, and hopefully this episode today really helps you.
