Hey friend,

Welcome to another edition of the Future Fortune Newsletter packed with tips, guides, and insights to help you make a better living.

Buckle up because this is going to be a fun one! It deals with a Steve Jobs reunion, using Writesonic for social media marketing, and drunk conversations with ChatGPT. So grab your favorite drink, sit back, and let’s rock and roll.

Alright, let’s get to it 💪….

You could have an unfair advantage in life. You could get more work done in less time, focus more energy on the activities and tasks you love doing, and supercharge your current output. BUT that’s only if you’re an early adopter of AI and tech tools.

For example, if you subscribe to Future Fortune Newsletter, then you know more about AI and tech tools than most normal people. So yeah, you’re a bit weird. But in a good way.

But, don’t just read content and watch videos. Get your hands dirty. Become a master. Learn and use these tools and guides to live the life you deserve to live. Also, help others along the way :)

A Guide on Using Writesonic To Be Steve’s Apples’ Social Media Manager

Look at this chart:

Ever since the end of 2021, there’s been a huge surge in demand for social media managers. With so many social media platforms out there and tutorials on how to do this and how to do that, business owners get a bit overwhelmed. But they still recognize that to grow their business they need to have a social media presence — a pretty good one.

Basically, this is what a social media manager does:

It might be time for you to take advantage of this opportunity. It’s a great side hustle. The average annual rate is $25/hour. Pretty good, don’t you think? Invest 2 hours of your free time every day for 5 days of the week and end up with $1000 in extra cash at the end of the month.

And here’s a quick tip to make even more money per hour: niche-down. Become the go-to expert in one social media channel and for 1–2 industries.

We recommend Canva or AdCreative for creating graphics and illustrations, and Buffer for scheduling content. We’ll show you some tips and tricks to supercharge these tools later on.

But today, it’s all about copywriting. To avoid making this a boring, typical corporate guide, we decided to bring Steve Jobs back to life only for today — not in a Walt Disney type of way.

Now, imagine you’re a top-notch Instagram manager for businesses in the fruit industry.

This quick guide will show you how to leverage Writesonic for Steve’s Apples’ IG profile. Specifically, it’s about creating:

Tools You’ll Need

Step 1: Create a Writesonic Account

Visit the website and open a Writesonic account.

It’s pretty straightforward.

Step 2: Write a Company/Personal Bio

Now, once you’re in the dashboard, type bio in the search bar and select Personal Bios V2.

You’ve got a 600-character limit for feeding your personal info to Writesonic. Be sure to include the following:

Quick tip: Make sure to tell Writesonic what tone of voice you’re looking for so the output is as personalized as possible.

This is the info we created for Steve Job’s personal bio:

And this is the option we ended up choosing:

Writing a professional bio follows the same process. The only difference is that instead of directly writing the tone of voice in the “Information” box, there’s a single-select field for choosing a tone of voice.

Step 3: Choose Some Media

Got an image or graphic ready to go? Okay! Move onto the next step.

Btw, this is the one we chose:

Step 4: Writing Post Captions

Now, click on the menu icon in the top-left corner and write Instagram into the search bar. Choose “Instagram Captions”.

This follows pretty much the same process as Step 2.

Provide a clear description about your image in the Description box and pick the tone of voice.

This is the caption we chose:

Quick tip: Looking for more results similar to an output you got? Copy-paste that output in the Description box and click Generate.

Step 5: Write Hashtags for Your Post

Bet you noticed that the Instagram Captions tool gives you some hashtags. But you can also use the Trending Instagram Hashtags tool to see if you might replace or add some hashtags to the post caption.

Input the same image description you used before and click generate.

This is the output we got:

We decided not to use any of these hashtags because they’re not really relevant to the post.

Quick tip: Use the Trending Instagram Hashtags tool and only use its output if it’s actually relevant + has some connection to current trends. This will help you start popping up in other people’s feeds more often.

Btw, this is an image of Steve’s Apples’ potential IG feed (yeah, we imagine he would have liked to pull a prank on Bill Gates):

Step 6: Trying To Make Your Post Go Viral

Now, once you start making more attention-grabbing posts, you’ll need to make sure that you integrate trending topics into your posts.

These are some of the tools we recommend:

Step 7: How To Get Clients

First off, niche down. Become the expert in one social media channel and for only 1–2 industries. Do you prefer Facebook? Twitter? Instagram? LinkedIn? TikTok? Choose one. Then, think about your favorite hobbies. Are you a food lover? If so, focus on food industries. Follow your passion. Once you know for sure what you’re going to focus on, start doing some outreach!

For example, we recently found out about a social media manager who’s focused on the contractor industry. Plus, he does this as a side hustle. He gets clients doing cold outreach on Facebook. Plus, he also shared the same script he uses when contacting strangers.

Give it a go and start crushing it as a social media manager!

Do you remember the last time one of your friends texted you while they were drunk? Drunk people say the most randomly hilarious things.

Well, how about using ChatGPT to recreate these moments whenever you’re feeling down? Input the next prompt into ChatGPT if you ever need a laugh this week:

I want you to act as a drunk person. You will only answer like a very drunk person texting and nothing else. You will deliberately and randomly make a lot of grammar and spelling mistakes in your answers. You will also randomly ignore what I said and say something random. Do not write explanations on replies. My first sentence is 'how are you?

And check out ChatGPT’s first response, hahaha:

heyyyyy!! im fuuunnkinkg gr8!!!11 wud abt yoo? sippin on som reallllyyy goood stuf righ nowwwww! lolololololwassup wit u? got any plans 2nighhhhttt? 😜😜😜

Check out this chart. More and more people are becoming digital nomads.

This is the perfect opportunity to create a tool for them. How about creating a niche marketplace for them. Maybe somewhere they can buy and sell digital nomad-exclusive gear such as daypacks and toiletry bags and you get a commission for each sale. Here’s a quick example of a niche marketplace for the yacht industry: https://www.boatsbyowners.co/. Check out this quick tutorial to get things started:

AI power-up: Use Writesonic to create a lot of SEO-optimized articles for your niche marketplace blog. That’s a guaranteed way to get lots of traffic.

And that’s it for today! Have a great weekend.

Take care,
