So if you are ready to change your life for the better and finally become an entrepreneur, then make sure that you're hitting subscribe.
1. Browse AI
First on the list is an AI tool that is going to keep you up to date by the minute with none other than your competitors. Browse AI (browse.ai) is a tool that lets you get hour-by-hour updates on what your competitors are doing. I must admit, this one feels kind of sneaky, but you can get notified when your competitor makes important updates, like adding a new product or changing their pricing. Instead of checking back every day, you're going to get an email alert with the keywords and products that you actually care about. This tool is incredible; it almost feels illegal, but you definitely want to check it out.
2. Looka
Do you want to start a brand but maybe you're not comfortable with your design skills? Well, you no longer need to hire a costly graphic designer and go through multiple revisions on Upwork because now we have a tool called Looka (looka.com). Looka will instantly generate hundreds of logo versions for you. If you still can't find the one you love, you can go into the editor and have full control to make it exactly what you want. Not only will this AI tool give you a logo, but it will also provide all the files you need, including JPEGs and PNGs. Once your logo is finalized, it will give you a brand Bible to match your logo's vibe, including brand fonts, colors, and a marketing kit with an email signature, business cards, and more.
3. Copy AI
Copy AI (copy.ai) is like having your own personal copywriter on payroll, except literally at 1/100th of the cost. Whether English isn't your first language or you just don't have the time to write social media captions every day, Copy AI can help. It can write your social content, blog content to attract new customers, ad copy for A/B tests, and eCommerce copy to write product descriptions that entice customers to buy. Another similar tool is Jasper (jasper.ai), which helps with blog posts, web content, captions, video scripts, marketing copy, sales emails, SEO content, and Facebook ads, all at lightning speed.
4. Spin Rewriter
If you want to claim the top spot on Google, you'll love Spin Rewriter (spinrewriter.com). It can rewrite a single article into 500 different articles in about 45 seconds using text paraphrasing AI. Blog content is crucial for SEO and driving new visitors to your website, but writing it can be a full-time job. Spin Rewriter can save you a ton of time, but make sure to add your own spin to the articles to ensure originality and avoid any potential SEO penalties.
5. MidJourney
MidJourney (midjourney.com) is a Discord bot that takes your text prompts and pulls from millions of images to create entirely new, beautiful images. To use this tool, create a Discord account, log into the Discord app by accepting the MidJourney invitation, and use the newbie rooms to test your prompting skills. You can prompt a command by typing "/imagine" followed by your command. The bot will generate four different options after a few seconds. If you prefer to keep your creations private, you can pay for a membership that allows you to create prompts in stealth mode. MidJourney can generate high-quality product shots, realistic mock-up images, and campaign imagery for Facebook ads, making it a valuable tool for your business.
6. Runway
Runway (runwayml.com) is an insanely powerful editing suite that helps you generate social media content for your business. Its video editor is particularly impressive, allowing you to perform complex tasks that previously required a skilled and expensive video editor. You can do green screen effects, remove unwanted objects from shots, and more. Runway simplifies the tedious and time-consuming aspects of video editing, making it like having your own video production studio online and for free.
7. Merlin
If you want to be one of those people with zero unread messages, check out Merlin. Merlin is a free Google Chrome extension that helps you quickly write professional emails in seconds. You can ask it to do anything, just like you would with ChatGPT. For example, you can ask how to respond to an email or what the subject line should be. Merlin takes the guesswork out of coming across as friendly and professional, saving you a ton of time.
8. Mem
Mem (mem.ai) is a note-taking app that organizes your notes all by itself. It understands who your contacts are and what you have going on in your calendar, organizing your notes accordingly. This makes it one of the smartest note-taking tools out there. Whether you're a business owner, working in an office, or still in school, Mem can be a lifesaver. It helps you stay organized, remember key details about clients and potential deals, and makes it easier to close deals.
9. Beautiful AI
A professional presentation is crucial, especially if you're pitching to get your products carried at a major retailer. Beautiful AI (beautiful.ai) creates beautiful slide decks for you without the need to hire a designer. Its designer bot helps you even if you don't know where to start. You just type in a detailed description of what the presentation is about, and it generates a polished presentation to match your vibe. It also offers AI features to help save you time, such as dynamically updating data throughout your presentation.
10. Descript
Descript is a multifaceted tool for making videos and podcasts for your online presence. Content marketing is essential in today's crowded business world, and creating video content is mandatory. Descript automatically edits your videos, generates transcripts, edits your words, removes filler words, and adds video b-roll based on what you said. It can also color correct, replace backgrounds, add text, enhance audio, and create subtitles and captions. Descript is a paid tool but costs only a fraction of what it would be to hire an entire video team.
