WEBVTT - The Apps That I Cannot Live Without

0:00:04.200 --> 0:00:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Hi, I'm Britney Saunders and welcome to Big Business. This

0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:10.200
<v Speaker 1>is one of my bonus episodes. Be sure to catch

0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:13.040
<v Speaker 1>my main episodes on Monday. But today is Wednesday, and

0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:15.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm here with a bonus episode. Today, I'm going to

0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:18.720
<v Speaker 1>be sharing with you some of my favorite apps that

0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't live without in my life but also in

0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:22.439
<v Speaker 1>my business.

0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 2>So pull your notes out on your phone.

0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:26.279
<v Speaker 1>You're going to want to write these down because you're

0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:28.800
<v Speaker 1>going to want to get these things. Okay, you heard

0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:32.440
<v Speaker 1>it from me first. How many have I got? One, two, three, four?

0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to say five. I'm going to chuck a

0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 1>little one on the end there for you.

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:39.320
<v Speaker 1>So app number one, which actually is an app, but

0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 1>I use it on the web. It's a lot better

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:43.640
<v Speaker 1>on the web than we use it on our laptops,

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 1>is a app or website called Miller Note m l

0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Anote Miller Note. If I didn't have miler Note, I

0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:57.720
<v Speaker 1>don't know how he would run our business. To put

0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 1>it simply, Miller Notes is live like a digital whiteboard.

0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:06.000
<v Speaker 1>It is very visual and you can use it individually

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 1>and you can create Millanote boards they're called boards with

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 1>your entire team, so it's interactive, So myself and all

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 1>of my staff are on our Millanote account. You can

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.319
<v Speaker 1>then have your own private little areas. You can have

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.480
<v Speaker 1>big shared boards. It's like if a whiteboard was on

0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.320
<v Speaker 1>your computer. You can drop photos on there, you can

0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:27.640
<v Speaker 1>have to do lists on there, you can write comments

0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 1>to people, you can tag people.

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 2>It's just the best, and it.

0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Is so so visual, and it's how we run our

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:37.880
<v Speaker 1>entire business. We plan everything on Milanoe, from our photoshoot

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:42.479
<v Speaker 1>run sheets to our collection drops. We plan it all

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.880
<v Speaker 1>out and it's just it's so good. It makes everything organized.

0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 1>It's all in the one spot, and I just I

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 1>couldn't live without it. And every time it's also very

0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>like a visually appealing like you can make it really cute,

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>like it's really customizable. And every time just say, like

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>on my stories or in a video of ours, someone's

0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>seen it and they go, what's that, because like they

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 1>see it on our screen, They're like, what's that thing?

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 2>It looks so organized.

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 1>It's great if you want to be organized, It's just

0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>like a visually appealing whiteboard. And I can't stress to

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 1>you enough, especially if you have a business, you need

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:16.120
<v Speaker 1>to get Milanoe. I found out about it honestly probably

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 1>four years ago, like that's how long we've been using it.

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.119
<v Speaker 1>You just pay a monthly subscription, I think, and it's

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>just the best. So just type Millane into Google. Also,

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sponsored by any of these people, but if

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 1>you want to sponsor me, here I am. But yeah,

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Millane runs our business and I couldn't live without it.

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.520
<v Speaker 1>That was my stomach and my throat. This is a

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.079
<v Speaker 1>bonus episode. Just leave it in there, all right. The

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 1>next app that I can't live without? And again it's

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 1>an app, but it's also a website or going back

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.920
<v Speaker 1>to Milanoe. By the way, you can download the app

0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 1>for Millane on your phone, but it's nowhere near as

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:50.800
<v Speaker 1>good as.

0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:51.800
<v Speaker 2>Using it on the computer.

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I just thought I would point that out, a big

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.960
<v Speaker 1>one that I'm sure every business owner out there already

0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>loves and uses. And again, we couldn't run our business

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:04.000
<v Speaker 1>if it wasn't for this one. Canva Canva Canva Canva

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:06.240
<v Speaker 1>c a n va for any of you that don't know.

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Did you know that Canva is Australian owned and founded

0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:11.360
<v Speaker 1>by a female.

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.280
<v Speaker 2>Which is so cool. It's honestly taking over.

0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 1>I feel like all of your graphic designers out there

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 1>are gonna absolutely hate me. But Canva is taking the

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:22.240
<v Speaker 1>fuck over from the other programs that are also amazing,

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:23.680
<v Speaker 1>like you're Adobe Suite.

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 2>For those of you.

0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Who don't know, Canva is just making graphics and everything simplified.

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:32.440
<v Speaker 1>You don't need to learn how to use a big

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 1>fancy program to use Canva. It is graphics made simple.

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 1>We use it for everything, all of our email marketing,

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>like our edms that we send out every single week.

0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 1>They're all designed in Canva and imboarded straight into Clavio.

0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Shout out to Klavio or Clavio as well. I guess

0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 1>that's another little app that I couldn't live without. That's

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 1>what we use for our email marketing platform, Klavio, Klavio.

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know the right way to say it begins

0:03:56.720 --> 0:04:00.080
<v Speaker 1>with a K, but yeah, Camba. Any graphics that we

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>need for our stores. If we're doing a sale and

0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 1>we want to make a little graphic image. We make

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 1>up all of our staff on boarding, welcome packs and

0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, PDFs and everything, we make it all in Canva.

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:16.919
<v Speaker 1>It's just fucking fantastic. Couldn't recommend it any higher you

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 1>need Canver if you have a business, we just pay

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 1>for a pro account so that you get all the fonts.

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.560
<v Speaker 1>There's thousands of fonts, there's thousands of images. And the

0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.120
<v Speaker 1>cool thing is like the library in Canva, Like you

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:31.039
<v Speaker 1>can type in grass background, like if you need a

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.479
<v Speaker 1>photo of grass, Like there's thousands of photos in there

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.840
<v Speaker 1>for you to use. It's not like with other programs

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:37.479
<v Speaker 1>where we have to go and find a photo and

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 1>then import it in there. Like, It's got libraries of everything, fonts, colors, shapes, graphics.

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:45.200
<v Speaker 2>It's just the best and I couldn't live without it.

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.320
<v Speaker 3>Hello, it's producers. And here I have a little tip.

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:52.000
<v Speaker 3>You can also do your resumes on Canvas and that's

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.920
<v Speaker 3>how I've done my resume for the last few years now, yep,

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 3>and honestly changed everything for me in terms of like

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:03.719
<v Speaker 3>how to for business interviews or get my documents in order.

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:07.160
<v Speaker 3>It's like I cannot rate the program.

0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 1>And the cool thing with Canber as well as it's

0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 1>got templates for everything, so you can go on Canva

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 1>top resume.

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, can change like the template colors and everything. Yeah,

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:16.440
<v Speaker 3>what you want.

0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:19.560
<v Speaker 1>It's fucking great, Like I'm sure there's heaps more in

0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 1>canvas that we don't use as well, Like there's to

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 1>do lists, schedules.

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 3>I've made, like radio backgrounds and imaging your canvas everything.

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.400
<v Speaker 1>It's great if you don't have canva, you need it

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.880
<v Speaker 1>for your business or even for your personal life. Honestly,

0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.839
<v Speaker 1>you can do invitations like you can type in wedding invitations,

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:37.760
<v Speaker 1>party invitations, anything.

0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:38.640
<v Speaker 2>I fucking love it.

0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 1>The next two apps are video editing apps for your iPhone,

0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 1>so they're actual apps. We use two, and I kind

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.160
<v Speaker 1>of like one more than the other, but they are

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.839
<v Speaker 1>literally the same. So fun fact, I'm sure everyone would

0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 1>know this, but all of the content that you see

0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:00.880
<v Speaker 1>on our fate social media and my social media, everything

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 1>is filmed on iPhone. We do not use professional videography

0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.839
<v Speaker 1>cameras for anything. Everything is iPhone. I think that's the

0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 1>coolest thing ever. And we edit all of our so

0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.160
<v Speaker 1>we shoot all of our content on our camera roll.

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:14.920
<v Speaker 1>It's another good tip for all of you business owners

0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 1>out there. Don't ever film in Instagram or TikTok. You

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:19.680
<v Speaker 1>know how it allows you to film in there. It

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.159
<v Speaker 1>kind of feels easier film everything on your camera roll.

0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:23.760
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be the best quality and you've got

0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.400
<v Speaker 1>it there forever, whereas if you film in Instagram and

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:28.200
<v Speaker 1>post it, it's kind of gone.

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, you don't have the raw footage.

0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 1>So the two apps that we use to edit, my

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.479
<v Speaker 1>personal favorite is called in shot just all one word,

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 1>really easy to edit. It's just like cutting and shopping

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 1>and pasting and adjusting the volume. The great thing about

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:47.600
<v Speaker 1>these apps as well is you can generate the captions

0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.600
<v Speaker 1>on there, so you'll like press auto generate captions. It'll

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:52.200
<v Speaker 1>go through the whole video and put the captions on

0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:54.440
<v Speaker 1>it for you. And the other app that we use

0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:57.080
<v Speaker 1>to edit is called cap Cut. In Shot and cap

0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:00.240
<v Speaker 1>cut they're essentially the same. I just prefer in Shot,

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.200
<v Speaker 1>but I know capcut has a lot more cool features

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.840
<v Speaker 1>and like quirky editing features. But they're two great apps,

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 1>and I'm pretty sure they both have like a free version,

0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.280
<v Speaker 1>and then you can also upgrade to the pro one

0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 1>as well and get a few more features. The next

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.080
<v Speaker 1>one that I have for you is a content scheduling

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 1>app which is called Planally plan only it's.

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:21.200
<v Speaker 2>Just an iPhone app.

0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:24.080
<v Speaker 1>And once we've edited all of our videos and stuff

0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:25.840
<v Speaker 1>in inshot or cap cut.

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:27.440
<v Speaker 2>We then chuck it into Planally.

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:31.400
<v Speaker 1>You link it to your Instagram account so that it

0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:34.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of lays out your feed, and then you can

0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.840
<v Speaker 1>schedule in all of your social media posts. Because we're

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:41.200
<v Speaker 1>doing multiple posts a day, and because we shoot our

0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:44.680
<v Speaker 1>collections far ahead and stuff, we're not just like editing

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:46.880
<v Speaker 1>something and posting it straight away. We might edit something

0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:48.640
<v Speaker 1>but it's not coming out until next weeks. Then we'll

0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.680
<v Speaker 1>schedule the post in for next Wednesday night at six o'clock.

0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Let's say.

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 1>My one piece of advice is though with any scheduling app,

0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.520
<v Speaker 1>you can jump on the app store and search Instagram

0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:01.400
<v Speaker 1>scheduling app can use any of them. We just use Planeally.

0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Do not get that app to automatically post your content

0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.000
<v Speaker 1>for you. I've tried that because you can literally set

0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 1>it up yep six o'clock on Wednesday, and it will

0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:13.000
<v Speaker 1>post it to your Instagram account for you. And when

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:16.000
<v Speaker 1>doing that, we noticed the videos get no views. It's

0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.560
<v Speaker 1>almost like Instagram can tell that it's been posted by

0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:22.360
<v Speaker 1>a third party. So what we do instead is we

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 1>scheduling all of our posts and the app gives you

0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.760
<v Speaker 1>a reminder like six o'clock goes ding if fate has

0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:30.960
<v Speaker 1>a scheduled post, then all you do is quickly jump

0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:34.280
<v Speaker 1>into planey and manually post it yourself from there. So

0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 1>there's a little hot take for you because I don't

0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:38.240
<v Speaker 1>know the apps can do it for you, but it

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:41.040
<v Speaker 1>hinders the performance. So always make sure you're manually doing

0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.240
<v Speaker 1>the post. And then the last one, I mean, there's

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:44.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot more apps, but I feel like I'm sharing

0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:46.800
<v Speaker 1>with you the best ones that we use.

0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:49.560
<v Speaker 2>The last one, I feel like it's a no brainer.

0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:51.359
<v Speaker 2>It is Shopify.

0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:56.199
<v Speaker 1>That is the web platform that we use for our website.

0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:57.600
<v Speaker 2>It is a Shopify store.

0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:02.720
<v Speaker 1>You can completely build and customize your website yourself with Shopify.

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 2>I feel like all of these are an AD.

0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:05.680
<v Speaker 1>I swear none of these are an AD. These are

0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.360
<v Speaker 1>all things that I genuinely pay for. We use Shopify

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.280
<v Speaker 1>as our web host and it's just great. You can

0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:15.079
<v Speaker 1>fully customize your own website. It's very overwhelming to begin

0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:17.520
<v Speaker 1>with to get your website looking the way that you want.

0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:19.679
<v Speaker 1>And then it's great because you can go back in

0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:21.960
<v Speaker 1>and edit your website whenever you want. Whereas if you

0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:24.680
<v Speaker 1>have someone build your website for you, then you're going

0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:26.360
<v Speaker 1>to have to contact that person every time you want

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:30.520
<v Speaker 1>to change a banner, whereas Shopify makes it really easy

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.000
<v Speaker 1>and I couldn't recommend it more, especially if you have

0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:37.360
<v Speaker 1>a product based business. It's just fantastic. So those are

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.360
<v Speaker 1>my apps, slash websites. There's a whole lot more, And

0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:43.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe you have an app that I don't have yet

0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 1>and you might want to let me know about it,

0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:47.600
<v Speaker 1>So feel free to send in on my Big Business

0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.360
<v Speaker 1>podcast DMS. What are your favorite apps that you use

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:52.240

<v Speaker 1>live without? Because all these ones I've told you about today,

0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I simply cannot live without. So if you don't have

0:09:57.720 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 1>any of these and you do get them, I hope

0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:01.760
