Free Digital Tools to help you easily create new content out of old
Enjoy, and please help spread the word
Okay, I’ve been talking about launching this newsletter for a while. It’s 2023, time to make it happen!
My plan is to send an email every other Tuesday rounding up 2 free digital tools you can use to take your digital program to the next level. Each issue should take just a few minutes to read. Then you can play around with any tools that might intrigue you.
If you haven’t already, connect with me on Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok or Instagram.
I’m always looking for new free digital tools. Have any to share? Hit reply to this email or ping me on social.
Thanks for subscribing — I look forward to learning with you in 2023 and beyond.
Remix (RMX)
I work with political campaigns, businesses, nonprofits and organizations of all shapes and sizes on ramping up their digital programs. And one constant I’ve found across every industry: people LOVE screenshots of tweets. 🤷♂️ 🤣 😂
Taking a screenshot and sharing it is easy enough. But if you want to take your screenshotting game to the next level, download Remix (RMX).
It’s an app (available on Android and iOS) and the functionality is extremely simple: copy the URL of any public tweet and paste it into Remix. Choose your background color (they have default color options or you can input your own hex codes). You can then post directly to social channels right from the app or download it and share it natively. Whatever works for you.
You could easily do this same task in Canva or Photoshop, but Remix is simple, free and gets the job done fast.
Here’s what it looks like when you’re done:
Quick, clean, simple… and free of course!
FREE or FREEmium: Free!
This is a totally free tool from Buffer.
Headliner App
Have a podcast? Or just like podcasts? Sharing them can be… complicated. It’s easy enough to tell folks to head to their podcast player, search for a podcast and start listening. But that’s a lot of steps to get someone started.
Headliner app simplifies this significantly.
Head to make.headliner.app and select what kind of content you want to share. You can choose from podcasts, audio books, radio shows or music.
If you select podcast, you can search for any publicly available podcast.
Select your podcast and even your starting spot (you can start at the top or at 3:44 - whatever makes sense) and then you can easily create an audiogram of up to 10 minutes. (You can share longer than 10 minutes on a paid plan, but if you want to keep it free, that’s the cap.)
You can share a link or upload it right to your social channels, websites, etc…
Want to see it in action? Head here to preview one I made for Step Up Your Social, my podcast of short eps (~10 mins or less) where I share quick, actionable tips to help you take your digital marketing to the next level.
Want to keep listening to Step Up Your Social? Stream all eps at StepUpYourSocial.com or wherever you stream podcasts.
FREE or FREEmium: FREEmium
As mentioned, there are limits on the free version. But the freemium version is quite comprehensive. On the “Forever Free” plan, you can get up to 5 unwatermarked videos per month each up to 10 mins in length. Paid plans start at $7.99/month if you find yourself needing more.
One more thing - I’d really like to get the word out about this little project.
Know anyone who might enjoy free digital tools in their inbox a few times a month?
