Featured tool: Playbook for Midjourney 🤓
Midjourney is a powerful tool to generate AI images. Playbook is a creative way to organize your design files. What happens when the two combine?
Meet Playbook for Midjourney! Now you can generate images and have them automatically added to your Playbook boards.
Playbook even uses AI tagging and organization to group your art iterations for you and add relevant tags.
Here’s how to do it: first, create a new Discord server and install Midjourney. Then connect your Playbook board to Midjourney. As you generate art, you’ll see it auto-stored on Playbook.
This is a great way to generate unique graphics for your business’ marketing materials on LinkedIn, Instagram, flyers and more.
How to use Instagram Stories to grow your business
If you’re not using IG stories for your business, you’re missing out on customers.
Why? Because IG stories are ephemeral, lightweight content that make it easy to show an authentic and relatable side of your business. So how do you exactly do this?
The key is behind-the-scenes footage. This could be stories of your physical office space, employees and product. It could also mean taking people along your entrepreneur journey, sharing the challenges, small wins and progress.
After you post, track your story analytics using IG’s analytics feature. See who consistently watches and engages with your stories, then reach out to those people via DM.
Ask them for feedback on your business or business idea, and see if they want to try out the product or feature. Be sure to follow up with these followers to see what their experience is like using your product!
Try out this targeted stories to DM approach, and let us know how it goes 🤓
