1
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Britney Saunders and welcome to Big Business. This

2
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: is one of my bonus episodes. Be sure to catch

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: my main episodes on Monday. But today is Wednesday, and

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: I'm here with a bonus episode. Today, I'm going to

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: be sharing with you some of my favorite apps that

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: I couldn't live without in my life but also in

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: my business.

8
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: So pull your notes out on your phone.

9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: You're going to want to write these down because you're

10
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: going to want to get these things. Okay, you heard

11
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: it from me first. How many have I got? One, two, three, four?

12
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to say five. I'm going to chuck a

13
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: little one on the end there for you.

14
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 2: Okay.

15
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: So app number one, which actually is an app, but

16
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: I use it on the web. It's a lot better

17
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: on the web than we use it on our laptops,

18
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: is a app or website called Miller Note m l

19
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: Anote Miller Note. If I didn't have miler Note, I

20
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: don't know how he would run our business. To put

21
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: it simply, Miller Notes is live like a digital whiteboard.

22
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: It is very visual and you can use it individually

23
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: and you can create Millanote boards they're called boards with

24
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: your entire team, so it's interactive, So myself and all

25
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: of my staff are on our Millanote account. You can

26
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: then have your own private little areas. You can have

27
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: big shared boards. It's like if a whiteboard was on

28
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: your computer. You can drop photos on there, you can

29
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: have to do lists on there, you can write comments

30
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: to people, you can tag people.

31
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: It's just the best, and it.

32
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: Is so so visual, and it's how we run our

33
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: entire business. We plan everything on Milanoe, from our photoshoot

34
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: run sheets to our collection drops. We plan it all

35
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: out and it's just it's so good. It makes everything organized.

36
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: It's all in the one spot, and I just I

37
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: couldn't live without it. And every time it's also very

38
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: like a visually appealing like you can make it really cute,

39
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: like it's really customizable. And every time just say, like

40
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: on my stories or in a video of ours, someone's

41
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: seen it and they go, what's that, because like they

42
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: see it on our screen, They're like, what's that thing?

43
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 2: It looks so organized.

44
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: It's great if you want to be organized, It's just

45
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: like a visually appealing whiteboard. And I can't stress to

46
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: you enough, especially if you have a business, you need

47
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: to get Milanoe. I found out about it honestly probably

48
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: four years ago, like that's how long we've been using it.

49
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,119
Speaker 1: You just pay a monthly subscription, I think, and it's

50
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: just the best. So just type Millane into Google. Also,

51
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: I'm not sponsored by any of these people, but if

52
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: you want to sponsor me, here I am. But yeah,

53
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: Millane runs our business and I couldn't live without it.

54
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: That was my stomach and my throat. This is a

55
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: bonus episode. Just leave it in there, all right. The

56
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: next app that I can't live without? And again it's

57
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: an app, but it's also a website or going back

58
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: to Milanoe. By the way, you can download the app

59
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: for Millane on your phone, but it's nowhere near as

60
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: good as.

61
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: Using it on the computer.

62
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: I just thought I would point that out, a big

63
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: one that I'm sure every business owner out there already

64
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: loves and uses. And again, we couldn't run our business

65
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for this one. Canva Canva Canva Canva

66
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: c a n va for any of you that don't know.

67
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: Did you know that Canva is Australian owned and founded

68
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: by a female.

69
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: Which is so cool. It's honestly taking over.

70
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: I feel like all of your graphic designers out there

71
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: are gonna absolutely hate me. But Canva is taking the

72
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: fuck over from the other programs that are also amazing,

73
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: like you're Adobe Suite.

74
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: For those of you.

75
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: Who don't know, Canva is just making graphics and everything simplified.

76
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: You don't need to learn how to use a big

77
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: fancy program to use Canva. It is graphics made simple.

78
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: We use it for everything, all of our email marketing,

79
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: like our edms that we send out every single week.

80
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: They're all designed in Canva and imboarded straight into Clavio.

81
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: Shout out to Klavio or Clavio as well. I guess

82
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: that's another little app that I couldn't live without. That's

83
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: what we use for our email marketing platform, Klavio, Klavio.

84
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: I don't know the right way to say it begins

85
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: with a K, but yeah, Camba. Any graphics that we

86
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: need for our stores. If we're doing a sale and

87
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: we want to make a little graphic image. We make

88
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: up all of our staff on boarding, welcome packs and

89
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: you know, PDFs and everything, we make it all in Canva.

90
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: It's just fucking fantastic. Couldn't recommend it any higher you

91
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: need Canver if you have a business, we just pay

92
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: for a pro account so that you get all the fonts.

93
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: There's thousands of fonts, there's thousands of images. And the

94
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: cool thing is like the library in Canva, Like you

95
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: can type in grass background, like if you need a

96
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: photo of grass, Like there's thousands of photos in there

97
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: for you to use. It's not like with other programs

98
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: where we have to go and find a photo and

99
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: then import it in there. Like, It's got libraries of everything, fonts, colors, shapes, graphics.

100
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: It's just the best and I couldn't live without it.

101
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: Hello, it's producers. And here I have a little tip.

102
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 3: You can also do your resumes on Canvas and that's

103
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 3: how I've done my resume for the last few years now, yep,

104
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 3: and honestly changed everything for me in terms of like

105
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 3: how to for business interviews or get my documents in order.

106
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 3: It's like I cannot rate the program.

107
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: And the cool thing with Canber as well as it's

108
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: got templates for everything, so you can go on Canva

109
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: top resume.

110
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, can change like the template colors and everything. Yeah,

111
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 3: what you want.

112
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: It's fucking great, Like I'm sure there's heaps more in

113
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: canvas that we don't use as well, Like there's to

114
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: do lists, schedules.

115
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 3: I've made, like radio backgrounds and imaging your canvas everything.

116
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: It's great if you don't have canva, you need it

117
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: for your business or even for your personal life. Honestly,

118
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: you can do invitations like you can type in wedding invitations,

119
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: party invitations, anything.

120
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 2: I fucking love it.

121
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: The next two apps are video editing apps for your iPhone,

122
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: so they're actual apps. We use two, and I kind

123
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: of like one more than the other, but they are

124
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: literally the same. So fun fact, I'm sure everyone would

125
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: know this, but all of the content that you see

126
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: on our fate social media and my social media, everything

127
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: is filmed on iPhone. We do not use professional videography

128
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: cameras for anything. Everything is iPhone. I think that's the

129
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: coolest thing ever. And we edit all of our so

130
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: we shoot all of our content on our camera roll.

131
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: It's another good tip for all of you business owners

132
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: out there. Don't ever film in Instagram or TikTok. You

133
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: know how it allows you to film in there. It

134
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: kind of feels easier film everything on your camera roll.

135
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: It's going to be the best quality and you've got

136
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: it there forever, whereas if you film in Instagram and

137
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: post it, it's kind of gone.

138
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: You know, you don't have the raw footage.

139
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: So the two apps that we use to edit, my

140
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: personal favorite is called in shot just all one word,

141
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: really easy to edit. It's just like cutting and shopping

142
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: and pasting and adjusting the volume. The great thing about

143
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: these apps as well is you can generate the captions

144
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: on there, so you'll like press auto generate captions. It'll

145
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: go through the whole video and put the captions on

146
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: it for you. And the other app that we use

147
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: to edit is called cap Cut. In Shot and cap

148
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: cut they're essentially the same. I just prefer in Shot,

149
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: but I know capcut has a lot more cool features

150
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: and like quirky editing features. But they're two great apps,

151
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: and I'm pretty sure they both have like a free version,

152
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: and then you can also upgrade to the pro one

153
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: as well and get a few more features. The next

154
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: one that I have for you is a content scheduling

155
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: app which is called Planally plan only it's.

156
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 2: Just an iPhone app.

157
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: And once we've edited all of our videos and stuff

158
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: in inshot or cap cut.

159
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 2: We then chuck it into Planally.

160
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: You link it to your Instagram account so that it

161
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: kind of lays out your feed, and then you can

162
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: schedule in all of your social media posts. Because we're

163
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: doing multiple posts a day, and because we shoot our

164
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: collections far ahead and stuff, we're not just like editing

165
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: something and posting it straight away. We might edit something

166
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: but it's not coming out until next weeks. Then we'll

167
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: schedule the post in for next Wednesday night at six o'clock.

168
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 2: Let's say.

169
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: My one piece of advice is though with any scheduling app,

170
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: you can jump on the app store and search Instagram

171
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: scheduling app can use any of them. We just use Planeally.

172
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: Do not get that app to automatically post your content

173
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: for you. I've tried that because you can literally set

174
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: it up yep six o'clock on Wednesday, and it will

175
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: post it to your Instagram account for you. And when

176
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: doing that, we noticed the videos get no views. It's

177
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: almost like Instagram can tell that it's been posted by

178
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: a third party. So what we do instead is we

179
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: scheduling all of our posts and the app gives you

180
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: a reminder like six o'clock goes ding if fate has

181
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: a scheduled post, then all you do is quickly jump

182
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: into planey and manually post it yourself from there. So

183
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: there's a little hot take for you because I don't

184
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: know the apps can do it for you, but it

185
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: hinders the performance. So always make sure you're manually doing

186
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: the post. And then the last one, I mean, there's

187
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: a lot more apps, but I feel like I'm sharing

188
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: with you the best ones that we use.

189
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 2: The last one, I feel like it's a no brainer.

190
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,359
Speaker 2: It is Shopify.

191
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: That is the web platform that we use for our website.

192
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: It is a Shopify store.

193
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: You can completely build and customize your website yourself with Shopify.

194
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 2: I feel like all of these are an AD.

195
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: I swear none of these are an AD. These are

196
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: all things that I genuinely pay for. We use Shopify

197
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: as our web host and it's just great. You can

198
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: fully customize your own website. It's very overwhelming to begin

199
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: with to get your website looking the way that you want.

200
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: And then it's great because you can go back in

201
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: and edit your website whenever you want. Whereas if you

202
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: have someone build your website for you, then you're going

203
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: to have to contact that person every time you want

204
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: to change a banner, whereas Shopify makes it really easy

205
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: and I couldn't recommend it more, especially if you have

206
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: a product based business. It's just fantastic. So those are

207
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: my apps, slash websites. There's a whole lot more, And

208
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: maybe you have an app that I don't have yet

209
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: and you might want to let me know about it,

210
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: So feel free to send in on my Big Business

00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: live without? Because all these ones I've told you about today,
