Don't overthink it.
Grab the right tools.
10x your productivity, get off the creative plateau, and automate your content creation.
I get asked all the time, What should I use for video editing? Or email marketing?
Honestly, I have a few go-to tools I can confidently recommend for any type of product- or service-based business, even for content creators with personal brands. And I’d love to share my top picks with you.
Some of the links I’m sharing are affiliate links. This means I might earn a commission if you choose to use them. But, I promise, I only suggest stuff I use myself and genuinely believe are top-notch.
Plus, I’ve even snagged some nice discounts with a few of these companies for you. Win-win! 😎

A.I. VOICE CLONING
ElevenLabs
Okay, don’t freak out, but yes, voice cloning. What do I use this for? For me, primarily for podcasting and voiceovers on reels, especially when I’m feeling particularly too busy (or lazy) to record them myself. Try it out, you’ll be shocked at how good it is!
A.I. PODCAST & VIDEO PRODUCTION
Descript
If you’re thinking about starting a podcast or Youtube channel but dreading the editing, fear not! With Descript’s Text to Speech, you can turn your script into a video or an audio clip, using your very own voice clone! And this is going to blow your mind: you can trim, extend, or re-arrange your podcast by editing your script like it was a word doc! Better to just see it in action:
REPURPOSING LONG-FORM VIDEOS TO MINI CLIPS
Opus Clip
Got a Youtube video or a podcast? Then you’ve probably gone through the frustration of manually selecting clips to create previews for them on social media! Opus makes it easy with ready-made templates and by automatically detecting highlights in your long-form content.
