In partnership with
Howdy!
Every week I share the business projects Iām working on ā Iām excited to hang out with you and 5,318 5,387 others.
Iām asked what tools I use in my business. Hereās my tool list, AI tool list, and money-making ideas to help you with your income stream building. Reply to this email and ask me anything - happy to help. A note: I always use referral links when I have them. I will make a commission if you purchase through the links, so thanks!

Ok, I couldnāt help myself.
I snagged a Facebook page from a random user (now friend) on the internet.
Thereās too much of a gold rush happening on Facebook (more on this in future emails) and I want to give myself a good chance of some growth and $$$.
Hereās the page if you want to follow along.
It has 262,000 followers (about half are in the US)
The page has some strikes from inappropriate content in the past (I wonāt have this issue).
The page is monetized, although itās making very little.
I structured a unique deal where I paid X $ up front and then Iām paying a % of the Facebook ad revenue until we get to Y $ in total payout.
There is plenty that can go wrong with the deal, but Iāve lowered my risk as much as possible.
And hoping that we can do more deals in the future.
Iāll keep you posted!
Just this morning, I was able to finish the transfer of my beehiiv newsletter over to Cliff (the new buyer).
note: beehiiv was great with the process and made the transfer really great. Iām still a big fan of using beehiiv after being a user for multiple years. Iāll share a vid belowā¦
Money should be released from Escrow soon, and I can shift my focus to other projects.
Itās my first deal using Flippa.com to sell and Escrow.com to help settle.
note: while writing this email, Cliff released the escrow funds, niiiice!
If you have questions about these platforms or buying/selling a newsletter, feel free to ask!
Ok our grandma voice podcast is coming soon!
Iāve got the automation 80% there ā just working out the kinks!
I want to test out a Southern Grandmaās voice to be the voice of my local media brandās podcast.
But maybe weāll have multiple hosts over time.
Once I have the automation set up and working well, I can just change out the voice.
Iām excited about it!
The flow will go something like thisā¦
Take our news articles from the past week in our ānewsā category on WordPress (it could also be articles we find on the web).
Summarize them.
Automatically create a script.
Have our presenter (Southern Grandma??) give the summary.
Output Audio File.
Write a Description using Claude.
Upload to Dropbox.

How Iām Using AI this Weekā¦
My goal is to make 100 useful tools to help automate my life & business.
Tool #18: I built a simple automation to check for me publishing new YouTube videos. When it sees new ones, it creates a post on LinkedIn and X with a link back to the video.
This is a simple automation, but I wasnāt doing it!
So now, with no brainpower from me, it will get done automagically.
