đź“ť Canva’s Dream Lab

Last week, Canva released Dream Lab, a Leonardo-based ai-image generator. Canva Pro users receive 500 credits per month to create several image types from cinematic to illustration, 3D, and more.

P.S. Dream Lab is only available from the Home Dashboard.

🍋 Lemon Squeezy Slashes Payout Fees for U.S.

Recently Lemon Squeezy was acquired by Stripe, allowing them to reduce payout fees on the platform. Starting October 28th (yesterday) there is a 0% payout fee for U.S. banks, and 1.5% fee on international banks. All users are still subject to LS’s 5% fee on all sales.

🪩 Make With Notion Recap & New Releases

If I had to sum up the Make With Notion Conference in one word, it would probably be * bliss *. I have known my Notion Nonsense squad for almost four years digitally and this was the first time we all met in person. Frankly I was so overstimulated from smiling and laughing and nerding out, but I wouldn’t have changed it for the world.

The OG Certified Notion Consultants Squad

In case you missed it, Notion announced / released A TON of new features at MWN, including;

  • Forms

  • Notion Mail (previously Skiff)

  • Offline Mode

  • Custom Icons

  • Database Automations 2.0

While most of these are still under development (yes I already have Notion Mail, and it’s dope), you should see things like Forms and Database Automations in your account shortly, if they aren’t there already.

We’re getting the Notion Nonsense crew back together and are doing a livestream chat on X (Twitter) this Thursday at 2PM CST. For those of you not on X, I’ll figure out how to download it and share the convo out for replay.

 

Accomplish More. Juggle Less.

When you love what you do, it can be easy to take on more — more tasks, more deadlines, more hours – but before you know it, you don’t have time to do what you loved in the beginning. Don’t just do more – do more of what you do best.

BELAY’s flexible staffing solutions leverage industry experience with AI systems to increase productivity without sacrificing quality. You can accomplish more and juggle less with our exceptional U.S.-based Virtual Assistants, Accounting Professionals, and Marketing Assistants. Learn how with our free ebook, Delegate to Elevate, and leave the more to BELAY.

 

Next week, on Thursday, November 7th, I’m hosting a private (and free) workshop on maximizing your company data outside of a traditional CRM.

During the event, I’ll share with you best practices for storing survey data, client feedback, testimonials and other insights that can be used for content and strategic planning.

RSVP here for the workshop. Replay will be shared!
