Hello ,

This week I'd want to share a few really fun and interesting Digital Media tips that caught my eye.

Creator Economy Conference

The White House is hosting a conference for creators 😱

It will be held on August 14, 2024 and if you are interested you can apply here https://www.whitehouse.gov/whcec/ You still have time to apply but hurry because the application deadline is this Friday 7/19/24.

Happy First Birthday Threads 🎂

Time flies and it's been a year since Meta launched Threads! 

I admit to not being very active over there yet but that could change at any moment considering they keep rolling out new features. They have 175 million monthly active users now so maybe I'll start spending more time there.  Hmmm… let me know what you think! 

YouTube Thumbnail Optimization 

The next bit of news is coming from YouTube and it is one that you may have been waiting for! Everyone can use YouTube's "Test and Compare" tool for our thumbnails. 

I've been using a similar feature in TubeBuddy and I find it very helpful, especially for getting more views on older videos that didn't perform well initially. Learn more about Test and Compare here

The YouTube version of this does not work for live streams so if you are an active livestreamer like me, you should get Tubebuddy! (affiliate link)

Prime Day is Coming!

Lastly, just a quick reminder that Amazon Prime Day is happening on July 16 - 17 this year. If you don't have Prime, now is the time to sign up. Get Prime Now!

Over the past 12 months, I saved $506 (minus the $139 annual fee = $367) and I must say that I really enjoy all the great benefits of Prime. 

But you don't have to wait to save! You can Shop For Early Prime Deals now! #commissionearned
