Hi All, I thought I'd share a few different tools I use to help me in our business, along with what I use them for. Feel free to add your own list in the comments too. 🤗 1. Monday.com (free version) - to do list & tracker I use monday to build out a really comprehensive to do list, and then also have an upcoming events section - this helps me plan my work more effectively and I can see everything in the one space. They recently released a new feature that allows you to have multi-level boards which has also been great. I did move over to Notion for a short period and really loved that too, but moved back to Monday because I just needed an easy "to do" list that I could move around and group items etc. 2. ChatGPT (paid) - content writing & brainstorming I use ChatGPT like a search engine these days and to help me find / explore information - I have a good history built up and so use it to also help me pull together articles and posts - I've trained it over the years for my tone of voice, but have started to transition more over to Claude 3. Claude (paid) - brainstorming, automations & creating documents samples / templates I've only just started using Claude about a month ago, so am still learning how to optimise it. The first thing I had it do was go through and clean up all my files in on my laptop - it was amazing! I just saw that Claude have released some new workflows and automations to help with Small Businesses so I'm excited to learn more about these and see if I can use them in our business / help others set them up in their businesses. 4. Google Suite (paid) - emails + general ops management This gives us our custom emails @milkingducks.com + @duckduckpig.com.au emails as well as access to google drive where we try to store all our important docs so they're in the cloud not on our devices. 5. Canva (paid) - content creation We use Canva to create social media tiles, slide decks, anything creative really. 6. Square - POS for our roadside stall + markets

Hi All, I've started using tiktok and find it really easy to record and edit within the platform, but was struggling with batch recording to then be able to schedule posts, and so I feel like I just figured out the best way to do it (for me) and thought it might help others too. If you record in the TikTok app, you can't schedule the post or download the video without the TikTok watermark unless the video has already been posted. If you record in TikTok Studio, you can download it without the watermark and without posting, but it doesn't have all the same features i.e. captions. So, I've started recording and editing in the TikTok app, posting to private, downloading (without the watermark), and then uploading into TikTok studio so I can schedule the post. I know this sounds fiddly, but honestly, it's saving me so much time / mental load from needing to remember to post directly from the app. It also means I can download and use the video for Instagram as well or other platforms - I recently used TikTok app to record & edit a recent LinkedIn video because I find it so much easier / faster to use. Hope this has been helpful, and if anyone else has any tips, please feel free to share them!
