Hey guys, today one of you asked me to start sharing recordings of the office hour support calls so in case you missed it, heres the full video: https://youtu.be/R_a0weIV748 And a couple clips we made during call:
I've started doing these calls weekly and will make it a habit to upload them to YT so you guys have a free archive of real questions, knowledge, and use cases. That said, if you want the short version of todays call, heres the summary my ai note taker created for you:
Key Takeaways

- Freelancing platforms like Fiverr and Upwork offer opportunities to monetize AI video creation skills
