🐝 My new favorite AI app - Beehiiv AI

This awesome newsletter is powered by Beehiiv, and I have been so happy to be a part of the journey of this awesome company.

This week, they released Beehiiv AI. Now, you can fix, change, expand, or translate text in real-time while writing a newsletter.

A lot of brands and apps are slamming random AI features into their tech stack that don’t often make sense. This is really great and makes a ton of sense.

I am using AI to write about Beehiiv AI on my Beehiiv AI newsletter while sharing a screenshot of the moment I actually used Beehiiv AI. This is so meta.

🖼️ Make your own stock photography with Midjourney.

Finding good stock photography is harder than it seems. Even with sites like Adobe, Unsplash, Pexels, and Pixabay, it can still be tough to find the image you want. However, Midjourney allows you to quickly create stock images to use on your website or social media.

Let’s say you were starting a dental office and needed some good stock photography. These are the prompts you would use:

Stock photograph, a dental office, a dentist smiling --ar 16:9 --s 750

Or maybe you need images for a marketing campaign for your new restaurant.

Stock photograph, a female chef in a modern kitchen --ar 16:9 --s 750

Starting a pet grooming or veterinary business?

Stock photograph, a happy dog on the couch --ar 16:9 --s 750

The point is - sometimes you don’t need a 50-word Midjourney prompt to create realistic stock imagery.

What are you going to create?

🤩 Social media is bullshit; create your own dream life.

I grew up watching MTV Cribs and Pimp My Ride, wanting to have these big wild things in my life. I got over it, and I never really wanted an Impala with a fish tank in it, anyway.

But I thought about the life I wanted, and I worked my ass off to get it. No matter what your “dream life” looks like, you’re going to have to work hard to get there. No shortcuts; just go do it.
