$200.

Every month, I pay roughly $200 for my favorite AI tools to cover...

1 - Ideas. 2 - Writing. 3 - Videos. 4 - Decks. 5 - YouTube. 6 - Research. 7 - Avatar.

If I had to replace it with humans, that would be over $50,000 per month.

We tend to forget we will in a golden age of scale: one person doing the job of 1,000.

This is how I'm able to grow my Linkedin, my employees' Linkedin, my YouTube, write my newsletter, post on Threads + X, and record daily AI vertical news on TikTok, Linkedin, Reels & Shorts.

I must duplicate myself thanks to tools. Here's the list (and a bonus at the end):

​EasyGen, $59

☑ Go from draft → to Linkedin post in 3 clicks.

☑ I usually generate 5-7 times before I love the result.

☑ I generate images for my ghostwriting clients in seconds.

I wrote 2x guides about "how to start" and "how to generate images" with EasyGen.

I also compared it to other AI tools for the same application.

Black Friday code: BLACKFRIDAY2024 (50% off the Annual plan).

Opus Clip, $29

☑ Go from YouTube video → to 40+ short clips.

☑ Clip Anything, from sports to podcasts to speeches.

☑ I generate videos for my ghostwriting clients in seconds.

It's the best AI video editor on the market.

Gamma, $10

☑ Go from idea → to an entire pitch deck.

☑ Generate slides, or even websites, as fast as possible.

☑ I generate marketing reports for my sponsors in seconds.

It's the best AI slide generator, with over 20 million users.

Spotter Studio, $49

☑ Go from a blank canvas → to a prepared YouTube video.

☑ It's about everything before actually shooting your video.

☑ I generate thumbnail ideas, storyline concepts & find YouTube outliers.

It's the best AI to start & scale your YouTube channel.

Synthesia, $29

☑ Go from a 2-minute video of you → to having an AI clone.

☑ Generate any video with your clone without recording yourself.

☑ I made over 30 million views with my AI clone news on Linkedin.

It's the best AI avatar I've tried.

Perplexity, $20

☑ Go from question → to an entire "Googling" AI session.

☑ Answer questions way better than Google, ChatGPT, or any other AI.

☑ I find topic ideas for my ghostwriting clients, on any given trends or news.

It's the best AI to find answers to your questions.

ChatGPT, $20

☑ Go from prompt → to any task.

☑ You must know how to prompt though.

☑ I made a free GPT 'Prompt Maker' to help you.

It's the best LLM on the market for any kind of task.

(maybe not the best for certain specific tasks - like writing)

Bonus tools

Canva, $20

The simplest tool to design things, like carousels.

Ideogram, $20

The simplest AI to generate images.

The best AI to correct your writing (pro tip: download the computer app, not the Chrome extension).

Bottom line

Tools are an investment, AI or not.

"Am I gonna use it?" - "Are they actually making a difference?" - "Should I really pay for it?"

But the same goes for coaching: you can fast-track yourself to be an expert, or do it yourself.

My mission is to master AI before it masters me. I want to be on top of it, at any given time.

My mission is to make sure I can transfer this expertise to you – so you master it even faster.

✗ Not AI to code faster.

✗ Not AI to drive autonomous cars.

☑ But (generative) AI to create better content.

Because content is the future of the workforce: I believe most of us will be some sort of freelancer. We must be able to share what we do best, educate others on our skills & missions, in the future era of personal branding.

AI helps me be a content creator AND successful at my job.

I want you to too.
