3 tools

to speed up content production

Turning an Activation Session (a strategic interview) into brand building asset can be time consuming.

After all, there's a lot that goes into it:

Picking the best gems that won't only build thought leadership, but also lead to conversions and ROI
Turning them into multiple formats - short videos (for YouTube shorts, Instagram Reels, Tiktok...), long videos (for YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn), social content, tweets, image quotes, emails, articles, podcasts...
Editing and designing, to stay on brand and grab attention
Scheduling and posting - there's no "one ring to rule them all" and each scheduling tool lacks one feature or another

And if you don't have the right tools and the right systems, this part alone can take over your entire day.

We've managed to reduce the time it takes down to 3-4 hours, and here are the tools we use to do that:

Fathom

Fathom allows you to effortlessly capture & share key moments from your Zoom meetings

As a CSI (Certified Strategic Interviewer) you're not only engaging in a conversation but you're also focusing on Activating their Expert Gene and when that happens you want to capture the moments so you can go back to them and turn them into brand assets that drive results.

Fathom allows you to do just that.

When you hear a good soundbite, when you see their eyes light up, you simply click on Insight and Fathom marks that time stamp for you so you can get back to it quickly later on.

It also records the call, transcribes it and integrates it with other apps (like Slack and Drive) so you can easily delegate that part of the work without the constant back and forth.

Check out this quick 90 sec. demo:

Fathom does require a paid Zoom account, but for all its features and time savings, I think it's worth it.

Descript

All-in-one audio & video editing, as easy as a doc.

One of THE most time consuming activities of video editing is trying to find that section in the timeline... or trying to cut a section without cutting words... or worst of all - removing all the ums and ah's and in my case - all the "right?"

This is where Descript comes in.

This brilliant tools allows you to edit video by editing text.

So you take the Transcript from Fathom, add it to Descript, do a Search for the highlights you marked in Fathom and boom! You have all the Shorts you need and your editing is done.

But Descript does a lot more than that.

With one click you remove all the filler words
With one click you create audiograms - just highlight the section you want, go to Publish > audiogram and you're done.
It's all kept in the cloud, so you can access it from any computer
You can share the project with your client so you can approve your assets before you go through the trouble of exporting > uploading > waiting...
The new version - storyboard - allows for fancy editing without messing with timelines or layers
You can record your screen and incorporate that into your videos
Overdub allows you to record your voice by TYPING words rather than speaking them (talk about eliminating pauses, ums and "right?")
and most importantly than all, their support is superb.

Here's what it looks like:

Turn these liabilities into assets

Your biggest expense as a content creator is the monthly / yearly fees you're paying to create your content, like the 3 I shared with you above.

How would you like to turn these expenses into income generating assets?

You can easily do that when you're using them as tools in your CSI offers. Rather than only using them for your own content creation, your podcasts, your socials... get them paid by your clients as you offer your services to them.

Not only will you not pay out of pocket for them, but you can also expense them in your taxes because now you're writing them off as a business provider.

And here's the cool part - start today and you get a paying client by the end of the week to pay for all of it and then some.
