  • STOP Sifting Through HARO Emails (Do This Instead!)

    Help A Reporter Out (HARO) can be a great way to get in front of new audiences and establish your expertise. 

    But it can be SO time consuming to sift through those long emails. It doesn’t have to be.
    Today I want to highlight a Make automation that saves me a TON of time when it comes to finding HARO stories to reach out to.

  • Quick Tip: Capturing Text from LinkedIn Carousels

    There are LOTS of great tips on LinkedIn these days, especially in the carousels. But the problem: you can’t easily get data out of the carousels. That means you can’t put them in your notes app, or even click on the links for more details.

    Here are 2 ways you can do it: one using macOS’s native image to text feature, and one using a great shortcut by @yaymacsparky .

  • Free Webinar: Repurposing Content for Your Podcast

    ***REGISTER HERE FOR ACCESS: https://podlift.me/repurpose-webinar ***

    Trying to Create Content Everywhere is Exhausting!
    Depending on the guru of the day, you need a podcast, you need to be on TikTok, you need to be posting on LinkedIn. And don’t forget your own blog and newsletter! Trying to create content for all of these properties can lead to burnout fast.

    But what if there were a better way? There is! Content repurposing isn’t new, but with the right system in place, it can turn your content creation process into a well-oiled machine.

    There’s a reason I’m able to publish 3 podcast episodes per week, 3 newsletters, and post on LinkedIn daily. And that’s my content flywheel.

    In this 60-minute webinar, I’ll show you how to:

    Capture content ideas as easily as possible
    Build your own content flywheel from content you’ve already created
    Keep track of everything with a little automation (with free resources)
    Create a 2-way street where you’re repurposing for, and from, your podcast.
    …plus a Q&A session where you can ask any question you’d like.
