Insanely Cool Tools - Substack Edition #23
Best tools in your pocket! 📱
Hello! 👋
Europe is having a heat wave. Today in Vilnius it’s 30°C+, and tomorrow it’s expected to hit 35. Insane! 🥵☀️
It’s a great time to be with family and friends, enjoy the sea, a lake, or just relax.
That’s exactly what I did this weekend - visited my parents at their homestead, grilled some meat, and unwound. Also made it to the beach and enjoyed the sun and cool river water.
But summer is also a great time to get ahead before autumn and winter kicks in. That’s what I’m planning to do starting in July. 😎
I want to focus more on LinkedIn - publish more, engage more. I believe it’s the best platform for getting clients right now.
Also, the sponsorship money for influencers there is no joke. People with 20,000 followers are charging 500-1,000€ per sponsored post.
So if you’re planning a launch, want to grow on LinkedIn, or have something in the works - reach out.
Let me know how I can help, and maybe we’ll find a way to work together.
Other than that, enjoy the summer and the tools I’ve gathered for you! 🫡
