[00:00:02] Tiny tech Tuesday.
[00:00:06] We're gonna tame the tech tiger.
[00:00:11] Under ten minutes, I'm gonna make 222 videos.
[00:00:18] Hey there, Bradley Charbonneau. It is October 17, 2024, and today I'm gonna talk about tiny tech Tuesday. What in the world are you talking about, Bradley? This is based on. I have three coaches, three business coaches, and all three of them have said it's pretty consistent. They want me to do what I love. They want me to do what I'm good at. But the big thing is, and one of them says it's to respond to the invitation, and I think this is a hard one, this is sort of what are they asking? And are you listening? And I don't always listen. I kind of just do whatever I want. But now with tiny tech Tuesday, what I'm going to do is I am going to create a set of videos under ten minutes each one. And I'm going to have a database of them geared towards, mostly geared towards authors, entrepreneurs, and creators. But when I think about it, a lot of the tech questions I get are from family and friends, and it's about personal stuff, and it's about, like, the one I'm, the page I'm currently on here, if you're looking, if you're watching this on YouTube. And it's stuff where the thing is, I do my homework. I often read the manual. I dig deep into how things work. Another thing I'm a huge fan of is saving money, and not just saving money, but sort of saving money intelligently. How can I find a one time. They're usually called lifetime deals. How can I, like a limited lifetime deal? How can I find a lifetime deal instead of this monthly fee? That's one of my favorites because I will happily pay whatever. Here's an easy number. I will happily pay $100.01 time forever for something that I'm going to use for a long time, as opposed to even if it's $5 a month, right? What's that? 20 months. Okay. Two years. So if you think I'm going to use this thing for more than two years, so after 20 months, you could see that you're getting it free, you know, in a way, you paid an initial fee, but you're not locked into that monthly fee, which, by the way, can increase, and you pretty much had nothing to do with it. So I'm very much into the lifetime deals. I'm into personal development into efficiency, effectiveness, fun. By the way, I'm going to do a lot of stuff on fun, and what I wanted to do today I wanted to have a quick walk through some, some of the software that I use as a teaser here for teaser for tiny tech Tuesday so that you can have a little tantalizing taste. Oh, I just made that one up. Tantalizing taste of what's gonna come around every single Tuesday. And again, the reason I do Tuesdays is because, as my coaches will tell you, I also need to, and this is just my personality type, I need to create and I need a regular system for it. I need a system for the insanity. I need a structure for my creativity. And for me, that comes in the form of frequency, which is then often, how often do I do things? And so it's sort of how often do you do the thing and why? That's sort of my story. And for this, I'll send you, I'll show you a page where I'm going to talk more about it. But in a nutshell, I want to give you a little teaser. In the past, I don't know, ten minutes, I just opened up. There's got to be 20 plus tabs here. I'm going to open up in the next few minutes and just give you a sneak peek, a little tease of what is going on here. That what we could offer here, what I'm going to be offering at tiny tech Tuesday. Okay, here we go. Okay. This first one, this is. And I'm not going to tell you everything about them. That's what the course, that's what the program is going to be for. The program is not free unless you stick around until the end. And I'm going to give this crazy coupon because I'm also. Another thing I'm really doing is I am playing around with testing and coupons and links and clicks and attendance and all that good stuff. So here I'm going to. I'll give a coupon at the end for the first 22 people. And if you think I'm going to stop with the alliteration and the t words, I'm not. So as you'll know from many of my books, I love alliteration. I love playing with word games and plays on words and stuff like that. So there we go. Okay. I'm going to take a very short time and go through a bunch of these. Here we go.
[00:05:04] This is the one. When I thought about which one to show first, it's this one. This is wise. It's wise.com dot. I will happily send you a link and this will also be a part of my thing. I'm not only going to show you how to save money, I'm going to show you ways to make money. So, especially if you're listening to this and you're thinking, oh, how do I make a little side income? How do I do a little, you know, side gig? Or I have lots of options for that, lots of ideas and lots of ways to make some side money which could turn into real money. And one of them is through the commissions, right. And through affiliate links. So, for example, a lot of this stuff I'm going to be showing. I will never show you something I don't use and love myself or I don't have, or I've tried or read the manual eight times and know how to do it. Most of the programs, I dig in deep and I know really well why I use them, what the real strengths are, what the weaknesses are, and why you should or should not get it right. So here we go. A lot of this stuff will be related to authors and entrepreneurs and creators, but frankly, in my honest opinion, we are all creators. It's just a question of allowing that part of our personality to come through. So if you'd like to create more, I'm your guy. Here we go. This is wise. I better speed this up because I've got like five minutes left and I want to get through 20 of these pages. Ready? Here we go. Wise, this is, it's sort of super duper Paypal. PayPal started out as a peer to peer, a person to person payment system. And this is just, this company started out, I live in the Netherlands. I used to live in the United States. And sending money back and forth, currencies, banks, transfers, that's how this company started out. But now they have a personal program where you can have a card, you can have sort of a credit card, you can even use it for your business. I use it for my business. So here's just one fun thing. You can have multiple accounts in multiple currencies and even bill people. A company I know right now, they just switched over to wise and now they can build their, their british clients in, you know, british pounds. So pretty cool. Like, I take euros and dollars and I can have euro accounts and dollar accounts and I better speed this thing up. Here we go. Next step, Asana. So here's another fun one where I'm not just going to show you how to use it, I'm going to show, to potentially show you how to use it to sell things, to also to sell an Asana template. Like I could offer a template, says here, for example, I could offer a TTT template. Here's a hundred tasks you could do to run your business, right? And I would give it in an Asana template and I would build it in an Asana template. Asana is a task manager, and then you can sell that, but also you can use it for yourself.
[00:07:48] Next up is this is a. This is kind of tricky, but this is a URL forwarder or a redirect. And it does so much more. This is one of those companies where one of those services, you're going to say, how did I exist without this? But before you get it, you're going to be like, what in the world is that? That's that. This one's probably similar. This is sweet, dash. This is. Wow. This thing is powerful stuff. I'm not, I'm super deep into this one yet, but pretty awesome stuff. It compares with stuff like infusionsoft or honeybook or something like that.
[00:08:22] Teachable. This is another one where I know some tricks in here. For example, VAT, you know, VAT value added tax and how that works. But the biggie, and this one is saving money, earning money, and then saving administrative and financial administrative hassle. So yes, it's a learning management system, but behind the scenes, the way they do their finances. Wow. It is some time saving. Awesome stuff. This one. Okay, this one's a little out there. This is called growthworks. I'm a huge fan of this. Basically, I am a magician who's sometimes a mathematician. And this is my math. This is my math class where I structure my creative ideas. This puts some system into my creativity. This is growth work. Super awesome stuff.
[00:09:11] This is Mailerlite. This is my go to email service, but also website builder, landing page builder, funnel system, surveys and quizzes. This thing does so much.
[00:09:23] This one, sendfox. This is one of those where it's like Mailerlite. It's just a one time fee, though. One time, I can't remember, $39 or whatever. Instead of like mailerlite, I probably pay that every month. Right?
[00:09:35] This site is Appsumo. This is. I love this place. This is where you can go down a rabbit hole if you want. This is. You can. Speaking of lifetime deals, I'm often going to Appsumo to share those lifetime deals with you. One thing I'm going to be doing at TTT is I'm going to show you which deals are good and why you should use them.
[00:09:54] This is a great appsumo deal. For example, pay one lifetime deal, dollar 29, right? So for example, tidy Cal, it's competitor to calendly and this thing does pretty much everything calendly can do and more. And it only $29 for once. Right. How are we doing on time, Lulu? This is pretty amazing. If you would like to publish books and this is really neat. I use this for some of my smaller programs where we want to print one book. Right. Lulu's awesome for that.
[00:10:24] Social bee. This is, is unbelievable, the power of this thing. This is like publish once and share multiple, multiple times. Right. Social B does a great job of that. Next. So this is little out there. This, I don't think this is even around in the United States, but this is kind of crypto wallet ish thing. A french guy turned me onto this and it's pretty cool. It's a little daring. If you're conservative financially, you might, might scare you to death. This one is Libby. Libby is if you. Oh, back to the United States. If you do live in the United States and you have a library, cardinal, you should absolutely know about Libby. It is awesome. Speaking of saving money, more money saving here, this one is Reedsy. This is a marketplace for authors and author related services. But also big secret here they have a fantastic book production tool. Alright, I'm going to speed this up. Find a way. Voices, pretty much the only thing you need to know if you're doing audiobooks. Speaking of audiobooks, this headliner, this is, I love their tagline, audio to audience, right? They will take your audio and just make it amazing. It's really cool. If you do audio books or any kind of audio and not video. That's that. If you do have video.
[00:11:39] YouTube, I'm a huge fan of YouTube. Haven't really got on the TikTok bandwagon. I'm a YouTube fan. I could tell you why this one, Castos, this is where I host my podcasts and I have lots of reasons why and why it's awesome and what the pros and cons are. There's a new one. This is opus. This is just insane what this thing does. So again, you've got your long get your ten minute video or ten minute audio. It will chop out ten clips or more and it'll create, I can't even explain what it does in 20 seconds here. This one is my new best friend. Love it. Opus. Okay, now we're getting into fun stuff. Chat, GPT, you've probably heard of it. I can show you how this can help you with your books and with your like me, I'm a creative guy, but I'm not necessarily such a structured guy. So that's what chat DBT does. Draft two. Digital is sort of like find a way voices. All you need to know for publishing your book worldwide in multiple, multiple distributions. On the other end is Kindle direct Publishing. This is your Amazon world, canva. This is all, everything crazy. It's just like Photoshop on steroids and online. And should you or should you not get the pro account?
[00:12:49] Google, this is a partner center with Google. If you think Amazon is the whole world, it's not. And there are many other publishers out there that Google Play is one of them. Claude. Claude is like a chat GPT thing, except it's different. And why? And why do you care?
[00:13:07] And mid journey. Mid journey is super fun with creating images. This is, again, with creative guy that I am. I want to see visually what I'm talking about with words. And mid journey can help me make it super fun. Speaking of which, last but very much, not least is Leonardo. It's like midjourney with images, except, I don't know, it just, it does a different job, let me put it that way. So compare the apples and apples and play with Leonardo and wow, this is fun. Okay, that's it. I'm trying to keep this under ten minutes, so I gotta run. This is a tidbit teaser of what Tuesdays are going to be like. I'm going to do a ten minute video, less than ten minute video each and every week. Oh, oh. Coupons. I said I would mention coupons for the first 22 people who sign up. And you have to use the lifetime plan. You'll see. So again, I talk about lifetime deals, right? So I have a lifetime deal, one price and you're in there forever. And I will do, guaranteed, I will do at least 222 videos over the next. How many weeks is that? That's like three years. I probably will do more than one a week if you use the. I need a t word. Let's go with tarantula. The first 22 people who sign up with the word tarantula as the coupon code will get the lifetime deal. Remember, you have to put in the lifetime deal.
[00:14:29] You'll see the two options, the lifetime or the monthly. You got to put in the lifetime dollar amount and use a code tarantula when you go to the checkout. And. And it will be absolutely free. And you will be locked in forever, or at least 222 weeks, which is pretty close to forever. And if you are too late and you're watching this and the 22 are gone, use the coupon code tiger and I will make 222 of those available, and I will chop that price down to 75% off. So 75% off if you didn't get the tarantula deal, if all those 22 are gone, and I think those are going to go pretty quickly, when those are gone, use the code tiger. I'm going to have 222 of those, and you will get 75% off. Again, choose the lifetime deal. Choose the one fee, like, for all time in the dollars. You'll see there's dollars, and there's a place for euros, but do the dollar one for the lifetime deal for Tiger and get 75% off. Okay, I think I'm over my time. I need a clock. That's what an app I need. I need an app like a. That'll show me the time that I've already been recording. And there's probably something, and that's the kind of thing I will figure out and do and probably have solved by the next time I do a video. Okay, this has been Bradley Charbonneau. A little bit of a different week, month here on the 17th. I'm also going to be publishing this as my Thursday Thunder video as well as my repossible podcast. So if you're listening to this, go check out the YouTube version, and I will see you next month. Hope you're having a great 17th, and until then, keep creating. Bye for now.
