In Case You Missed It 💜

In partnership with

Happy Tuesday EduCreator!

Happy Veterans Day 🇺🇲 

I can’t believe it’s already (basically) mid-November. I start this year saying it was going to be the best year ever and it surely did not disappoint. 2025 is ending with a bang and I have a strong feeling 2026 will be an even better year ever!

Here are some wins I’m celebrating:

Win #1: This weekend I went to a Hackathon event hosted by FaithTech, a global community of Christian tech professionals and enthusiasts. Turns out my AI skills and comfort with vibe-coding tools like Lovable made me a prime candidate to help lead our team to victory! 🥳 

Win #2: This newsletter is officially monetized with ad revenue! HUGE THANK YOU to you for opening these emails and clicking on the ads. This simple quick action is helping me earn a small income that definitely helps with keeping the lights on. I really appreciate your support. 💜 

Use this link 👇️ to start your newsletter for free. If you need any help getting started, just reply to this email and I’d be happy to set up a call with you (no charge) to answer any questions and share tips so you can monetize asap!

Win #3: I tagged Beehiiv in a post I wrote on X about earning almost $100 in ad revenue my first week. The CEO and main Beehiiv account saw the post, reposted it and even asked me if I would post it on LinkedIn so they can sponsor it. Both posts are doing very well impression wise which is a great reminder that sharing results is always a good idea.

New Publishing Schedule

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday: 🔥 Your AI Edge - get updates every 48 hours (except for weekends because I need time with family) on the latest trends and news in AI for Creators and Educators.

Tuesday: In Case You Missed It 💜 - a summary of highlights, both personal and professional from the last week. This is my opportunity to write to you (more) from the heart and share what’s happening in real time.

Thursday: Community News 👥 - This is more than a newsletter, it’s a community. Membership is 100% free and it always will be. If you do want to upgrade to premium membership, you can do so at any point here.

How to Support My Work

Remaining a subscriber to my newsletter, opening it up as often as possible, and when you feel so inclined, clicking on the advertisements, allows me to earn a small income from this newsletter. For now it’s not much, but trust me every bit counts!

Here’s an example of an ad that sponsors my work. All you need to do is click on it and I get a small revenue share, which is awesome as a newsletter writer! 👇️ 

Find your customers on Roku this Black Friday

As with any digital ad campaign, the important thing is to reach streaming audiences who will convert. To that end, Roku’s self-service Ads Manager stands ready with powerful segmentation and targeting options. After all, you know your customers, and we know our streaming audience.

Worried it’s too late to spin up new Black Friday creative? With Roku Ads Manager, you can easily import and augment existing creative assets from your social channels. We also have AI-assisted upscaling, so every ad is primed for CTV.

Once you’ve done this, then you can easily set up A/B tests to flight different creative variants and Black Friday offers. If you’re a Shopify brand, you can even run shoppable ads directly on-screen so viewers can purchase with just a click of their Roku remote.

Bonus: we’re gifting you $5K in ad credits when you spend your first $5K on Roku Ads Manager. Just sign up and use code GET5K. Terms apply.

Clicking On Affiliate Links 🔗 

Another way I earn income from creating content that is both educational, and hopefully inspiring, is by using affiliate links. I recently became qualified to earn commission through Amazon’s Affiliate program. 🥳 

Click on this button or any of the products below and any purchase you make helps me earn commission through their program.

Also, many AI tools are expensive and use credits for usage. Clicking on the links below and signing up for the free version of these tools gives me more credits. We both win!

Last Week’s 🔥 Your AI Edge Issues

You have probably seen me a lot more in your inbox. Use the poll above to change your subscription preferences if it’s too much.

I’m using Beehiiv’s powerful automation feature to automatically push subscribers that “opt out” of the Your AI Edge editions to their own segment which is excluded when these are published. Very convenient and allows you to personalize your experience.
