Howdy Reader! Sorry, this email is a day late, BUT I've got a new FREE resource for you! Since I started on this creator journey, I’ve been fascinated by creating images. From videos, motion graphics, stock photos, and templates, I’ve probably dipped my toe in almost every area of visual marketing. AI image generation is what excites me the most. FINALLY, we’re to the point now when you think of a visual in your brain; you can come really close to creating that on the screen. It’s been a total game-changer for my business. Many of you know my favorite generation tool right now is Midjourney. We use it for all our presentations, blog posts, and social media. Now, I’ve put together some of my favorite sref codes (these are like style cheat codes) for holiday images in Midjourney. Here’s an example. I did a simple prompt, “Santa standing on a roof top besides a chimney”, and applied sref code, –sref 3863503132 Pretty cool, right? Here’s the same prompt with another one of my curated codes. –sref 3173207666) See the possibilities? Since you’re already my email friend, you can have direct access by clicking this link. I get it. Midjourney’s doesn't have a free plan. Their cheapest plan is $10 a month, but no other platform right now has the control and flexibility it does. BUT if you want to create eye-catching images and maintain consistent styles, I think Midjourney is your best bet. So take a look at this curated gallery of codes and let me know what you think. AND if you like it and want to share it with a friend, can you use this link to my landing page? That way, I can continue providing them great content like this resource. See ya around the interwebs, -Jeff |

Howdy Reader! Quick heads-up: there’s no live show today, I’m in beautiful Orlando for Podfest. But next week? We’ve got a great one planned… I don’t come to Podfest just to sit in sessions (though there’s plenty of excellent content there). It’s also my yearly creativity boost: catching up with friends, swapping ideas in hallways, and refilling the tank. Last year, Paul Gowder and I did a show on the ROI of live events. Here are a few takeaways and why I’m bullish on conferences in 2026:...
Howdy Reader! AI is everywhere right now. And strangely enough, instead of making content better, a lot of it feels more polished, more automated, and honestly… more forgettable. That’s why this week on Creator News Live, I’m having a conversation I think a lot of creators need right now. I’m joined by Paul Gowder, who’s been building online communities for over 25 years, long before algorithms, feeds, and automation were part of the plan. We’re talking about: Why audiences are craving more...
Howdy Reader! A couple of emails ago, I shared a concept from Natalie Nixon that hit me right between the eyes: Impact over Output. I love creating, and I’m all for smart systems and repurposing, but cranking out more, more, more can lead straight to burnout. So I’m taking it a step further: Impact over Income. Money matters. Bills exist. But too often, I’ve let revenue potential dictate my goals. The forehead-slap realization? If I focus on helping people and genuinely moving the needle for...
