Email is the #1 most profitable marketing channel. It generates $36 to $44 in revenue for every dollar spent. But most freelancers have no idea how to write captivating copy, segment lists properly, or craft campaigns that convert.

Making the Rounds

  • TikTok projected to hit $13b in yearly ad revenue by 2026. With over half the U.S. population now using the app, TikTokā€™s ad revenue is set to nearly triple in the coming years, going from $5.04 billion in 2022 to $13.79 billion in 2026.

  • Adobe announces Firefly suite of generative AI image tools. The new feature makes it possible for users to create AI-generated images similar to DALL-E 2, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion. Adobeā€™s also introducing a ā€œDo Not Trainā€ tag for creators who donā€™t want their content used to train the Firefly model.

  • Instagram launches Reminder ads for events. Running ads for a live event? Now users can opt-in to in-app reminders. If someone clicks the ā€œRemind Meā€ button, theyā€™ll get three reminders from Instagram: one the day before, one 15 minutes before, and one when the event is starting.

Working For Yourself

10-Minute Trick to Boost Your Creativity

Ever wish you could generate killer new ideas on-demand?

Us too.

Sadly, science still appears to be a ways off on that one.

But there is another science-backed creativity technique gaining popularityā€¦

Thatā€™s been shown to boost divergent thinking in as little as 10 minutes.

Itā€™s called ā€œnon-sleep deep rest.ā€

Non-sleep deep rest (or NSDR for short) is basically a state of deep relaxation without falling asleep.

Meanwhile, divergent thinking is all about combining existing elements in new waysā€¦

A process thatā€™s facilitated by the increase in ā€œdopaminergic toneā€ triggered by NSDR.

Now, the way to experiment with this technique is simple:

Lie down on the couch or bed, turn off the lights, and close your eyes.

Set a timer for 10 minutes.

Donā€™t worry about controlling your thoughts or focusing on breathing.

Feel free to let your mind wander.

(just donā€™t let yourself fall asleep!)

Then once your time is up, direct your mind to go into creative exploration and see what new ideas come to you.

If youā€™re curious to know more and would like to experiment with a guided NSDR meditationā€¦
