AI Vocals Extractor + Bank For E-commerce

Extract vocals and instruments from audio, banking for e-commerce, email response auto-drafter, and more

Greetings from The SaaSsy Entrepreneur, a weekly newsletter that injects a healthy dose of digital steroids into your life and business πŸ’‰

Today we'll cover 5 useful tools and 5 interesting links.

βŒ›οΈ TL;DR

  • Proactive AI-powered email client - EzMail

  • AI-powered vocals extractor - Lalal.AI

  • Engagement booster - Woobox

  • Banking for e-commerce - Highbeam

  • Sell digital products & services - Suprlance

 

πŸ› οΈ Productivity

  • Auto-drafts responses for incoming mail

  • Learns and applies your writing style

  • Works on both mobile and desktop

Pricing: Free (for now); there’s a waitlist.

My 2 cents: A novel and interesting approach to tackling email reply fatigue. I'm still on the waitlist so I can't vouch for EzMail yet but it's promising. It automatically drafts a response to an incoming email based on the context. All you have to do is review and send. Time saved, thank you very much.

🎨 Creativity

  • Extract vocals from music

  • Lossless and fast separation of instruments

  • Desktop apps for Mac, Windows, and Linux (Ubuntu)

Pricing: Free starter 10 min + 50 MB uploads; lite pack €15 for 90 min + 2 GB; plus pack €30 for 300 min + 2 GB uploads

My 2 cents: A perfect tool for an unforgettable karaoke night 🎀 Kidding aside I'm sure it has some other uses but that's the first that came to mind. Musicians anyone? By the way, Lalal.AI did an excellent job on the couple of songs I uploaded.

πŸ“ˆ Marketing

  • Run giveaway and contest social media campaigns

  • Collect leads via pop-up forms, quizzes, polls, etc.

Pricing: From free to 249/month; the standard plan at $32/month (billed annually) seems the most reasonable.

My 2 cents: As annoying as they are, the pop-ups are an effective marketing tool for lead generation, upsells, audience segmentation, and so on. Thus, I would neither dismiss nor abuse them. Woobox has all the tools a marketer needs to launch such campaigns.

πŸ’° Money

  • Banking for e-commerce

  • Checking & savings accounts

  • Physical & virtual cards

  • High revolving line of credit (LOC)

  • 4% APY, 1-2% cash-back, FDIC insured

Pricing: Free

My 2 cents: Highbeam is highly regarded in the e-com space. I first heard of them from e-com expert Nik Sharma. It provides store owners with a holistic view of their finances on top of standard banking features.

πŸ’» Business

  • Sell digital products & services

  • Write blogs and newsletters

  • Alternative to Gumroad

Pricing: Free basic; extra features from $9/month to $29/month; $49 lifetime deal; still in beta.

My 2 cents: Suprlance is the latest Gumroad competitor. It's got a long way to go to catch up to more established players. But it's got potential. The store setup and product creation were relatively easy. Still, I won't be jumping on board just yet. I'm quite happy with Stripe Checkout for now.

πŸ”Ž Rad reads & resources

Growth in Reverse Newsletter is a must-read for creators. Every week Chenell reverse engineers the growth story of top creators. Each issue is packed with inspirational examples, exact numbers, and actionable hacks.

Godly.website - Astronomically good web design inspiration from all over the web. It's one of the best collections of inspirational website designs I've come across in a long time. E-commerce, portfolio, landing pages, it's all there.

LearnPrompting.org - A great resource to learn prompt engineering. It's a free, open-source course on communicating better with artificial intelligence. Although, it's a little technical and dives deep into prompt composition, hacking, tuning, tooling, etc.

4-3-2-1-0 Technique to Find Your Niche - A simple technique to figure out your niche: list 4 strengths -> 3 sub-strengths -> take top 2 -> pick 1 in greater demand -> find point 0. What's point 0, you ask? Francis explains it better than I would. It's short, too.

Plugins, widgets, and scripts for Carrd sites add extra bells and whistles to Carrd-powered sites. Carrd is a great drag-and-drop builder. But it's not perfect. Some extra functionality and features require coding knowledge. Unless you can plug-n-play pre-built no-code widgets and scripts. You see where I'm going with this, right? πŸ˜‰

Let's play a little, shall we

The name of the game is "Guess the number of replies" 🎰

Simply reply to this email with your best guess of how many people reply to this email in one week. Whoever guesses the correct number wins the prize pool money πŸ’° The counter resets every week, btw.

If no one guesses the number I'll double the pool and the show will go on. Heads up, I'll be posting the # of active newsletter subscribers on Twitter and LinkedIn occasionally.

If by the year's end, the game is still on I'll donate the money to a charity of y'all's choosing.

May the odds be ever in your favor!

Current prize pool: $30
