Welcome to another super informative edition of The Creatorpreneurs Newsletter! (If you've missed any back issues - Check them out here. ???? )
Today my friendly neighborhood entrepreneurs, I'd like to talk about a website called "AppSumo.com".
AppSumo was created by well-known entrepreneur Noah Kagan in 2010. The platform has expanded since then and today is well recognized in the marketplace as the “#1 software deal site for entrepreneurs”.
If you’re like Lisa and I ... automating busywork, social media management, SEO craziness, video creation... etc. AppSumo helps us quickly discover really cool products that help grow our business and save us time.
Hop over to AppSumo and check them out.

Marc, our 3 kids, and I just spent a week in hot, humid Florida visiting family (for the first time in 2 years!). Naturally, we thought we'd get some work done while we were there. But, not surprisingly, we didn't accomplish as much of our to-do list as we planned.
It's hard to get a lot done when you're "on vacation".
The truth is that some businesses find that sales slow down as summer heats up. That's how it is for us... especially as late July and August hit. Businesses need a way to keep moving forward.
So, as we head into higher temperatures and distractions that keep us away from actual work, here are some ways to keep your customers engaged:
Welcome to issue #3 of the Creatorpreneurs Newsletter. (if you've missed past issues, take a look at them here).
Every week, Lisa and I will show you some awesome tools that'll make your online life easier and show you some unique ways to grow your business... with graphics!
This week, I was asked by one of our awesome Laughingbird Creatorpreneurs if The Graphics Creator could ever import Photoshop files. (alas, as of now... no. But it's not impossible one day ????).
I've been writing for a new niche blog that I'm really excited about. I can't wait to share it with you (I'll give you the details soon)!
Now that I'm more focused than ever on writing, I'm digging deep into the world of blogging and learning a ton during my journey. Along with visual content, keyworded content is also essential to blogging!
That's why this newsletter offers up a free tool that'll help you make more of an impact with your writing, whether it's for blogging, creating ads, or website copywriting. And, be sure to watch Marc's video to find out how to create and use visual content on social media!
Developing products or services, advertising, and blog writing are completely separate jobs when it comes to growing your business, aren't they?
As a small business you know that they SHOULD be individual jobs, but yet you're doing several of them or possibly every one of them by yourself (unless you can pay $$$ to hire help)! And, unfortunately, the #1 way to afford to hire help is to get more traffic and more buyers.... total Catch 22!
When you're selling a product or service online, the most important thing is getting people to click on your link and buy what you're offering (this is called "a conversion"). It can be tricky to get people to buy from you when they can't see or touch what you're selling, but with the right approach, you can make it happen.
A while back, I hinted about my new side venture... and mentioned I'd tell you more soon. I've learned so much more since then that I want to share with you.
By sharing, I'm hoping it will inspire you, give you some creative ideas, and help you take action in making things work for your business.
Check it out to see what I've been doing (or perhaps because you're actually interested in electric bikes... Marc and I have so much fun with ours!).
Honestly, I feel as though I've learned a whole new skill set that I can apply to Laughingbird Software and the Creatorpreneurs Academy blog (more to come on this).
