My suggestion is to do side by side comparisons: Taplio vs LI with Sales Navigator, Taplio vs ChatGPT4, using formats from Other succesfull posts from other people, are cover what Taplio does that cannot be done. That way it does not appear as a sales pitch.
" Hello Dear Brother" I hope you are doing well I Am a regular viewer of your KZread Channel. I have seen all your videos and your content qualities are very good. But i found some problem on your channel. This is your channel : (Become A Writer Today) What is your plan about your KZread Channel ?
Hey Bryan, very nice video. I share your view. I don't see much value in the scheduling nor the AI as you can pretty much do it directly with LinkedIn and Chat GPT. For the engagement def helpful but is it worth the price tag? Not sure!
It's useful if you spend a lot of time creating LinkedIn content, otherwise LinkedIn itself is ok
Im shocked that anyone would use either. both send your intellectual property to a server. There are other options.
Hey man, just dropping by to say this was informative - thanks.
Solid video!
what about languagetool?
What a waste of time. Doesn't answer title.
But usually doesn’t publishing or writing a book takes a hells worth of time? So if you keep rewriting or somewhat reviewing your work how long does it usually take?
depends how quick you write
Use AI to make better AI
For those interested in American literature, one would consider Ambrose Bierce. In a crowded field, I don’t suggest he’s unfairly omitted from this list, but a too 20, certainly.
good suggestion
Washington Irving must be read by anyone trying to get a view of American literature.
Ngl, thx for the advice, this really helped me a lot in improving my essays, keep it up ^^
Thank you so much for this review, I love how you broke down each features.

Am a Kenyan copywriter😊😊.l love turning boring words into golden goodies that customers love and open their wallets with smile 😊to buy.
Thank you very much, this video was very insightful. A crash course on Obsidian. Just what I needed.
OmniOutliner has a one-time payment option as well, with 19,99 euros for the essentials and 99,99 euros for the pro version.
As of May 2024, sadly, I'm turning off Grammarly (free version). They have begun highlighting virtually everything in all the colours of the rainbow (Premium suggestion: "in all the rainbow colours") suggesting you pay them to replace the colour of your personal style and paint everything AI grey.

Great video. I am a proofreader and have been looking for a good citation checker to use. I will definitely check out QuillBot. I also enjoy proofreading myself first then comparing it to Grammarly and Word or Google docs checker, to see what else I have missed. Thanks of sharing.
A great selection. I like Krtchum but wouldn't put him up with the greats. I'd switch in Robert Aickman.
for sure
Good video. Edgar Allan Poe gets left out all to often. Also, Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote The Scarlet Letter, which has been called the best novel ever written by an American. And lesser known Nathanael West, who wrote among the modernists.
Thank you so much Brian for this video an 'ting. It is very helpful and informative, nice one cuz.
bad video
I start to develop digital zettelkasten using Personal Information Manager software called "MyInfo 8". Basically, this software is like folder-root as in windows explorer. So, I just create a Notebook (i.e., basically a file ) and name it "A1", this file is similar as a "wooden box", where code "A" is for my "research" theme. In this "Notebook", there is section, I name it 1, next section is 2, etc. So, then, if i need to write an idea, I create a note (i.e. a card), and name it 1. From this combination, I'll have an address like : "A1/1/1" for idea1, and then I put this address in Index file or in reference note. The code "A" is asigned as my "research". If someday it is not enought, then I just create another Notebook and name it A2, A3, A4, and so on. For other theme or category, for example my interest in religion, I can make another Notebook and name it, B1 (for example). Then, I would have an address like "B1/2/1.1a.1 xxxxx" So, the "B1" is actually the Notebook file, 2 is the section, and 1.1a.1 is just another idea that relate to one idea. I found this method, actually a year after I learn zettelkasten. This idea is similar with analog zettelkasten in a way that visibility. Other digital zettelkasten using other software like Notion etc, to me, it's not intuitive. The good thing why i use digital zettelkasten is, I can review it anytime, add/delete notes or revise my idea if necessary. Hope this year, I can gain more cards and ideas.
Awesome video. I've been trying to decide which AI software to assist me with proofreading. I'm a freelancer, and I'd just like to use some software, not an actual proofreader, since it's less cost effective. I know I'd still have to review everything, but which would you say is the most advanced AI software for this purpose? I don't have a specific budget, and I'm writing writing articles on a PC.
Peter Straub has passed, sadly.
Nobody loves Ambrose Bierce these days 😞
this does not work.
Awesome content. Thanks for the tips Brian
Sherlock Holms is well known all over the world. He is the greatest man of the 20th century. We love him very much. Thanks to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I'm from Kazakhstan.
Very well, time to put that to the test. You just got fired as a teacher didnt you? Or maybe you thought you had something? In order to be right, you need to change these. So go do your thing exactly as you said to replace with
I appreciate you sharing this great info. I didn't see anything about rewriting. It's only a grammar corrector, right?
Just a grammar corrector.

Thoughts on Colum McCann? I have only read "Let The Great World Spin" but it lives among my top faves. Also Donal Ryan? I have only read "From a Low and Quiet Sea" which I picked up in Ireland and actually loved but would not put it in my Cat 1 list.
Very nice advice on markdown-based note-taking apps. However, there are way too many cuts and edits in the video. By the way, I assume that you keep your notes in your Obsidian vault and then open them with iA Writer when you need to, right? And How good is Sublime Text? I have not heard about it before, and it seems quite expensive at $100 for a 3-year license. Anyway, good video overall!
yeah that's it, I haven't used Sublime text as much as it's more for coding, but it can do the same thing
Would you say listening to instrumental music helps you study/focus? I like to listen to instrumental pop while I focus, and it helps me study for long hours. Am I really processing the information?
Probably music without lyrics. Lyrics can become overly intrusive . But do what works 😀
Subbed to you and needed this , will check out all of these books to be honest. Would love to see money mindset wise your favorite novels 🤔 just an idea , salute !
Good recommendation
Thank you so much for this review! I’m considering this site and starting a career in freelance writing as an additional career to archaeology! Digging is fun but my body won’t be able to do it forever! I’m not trying to become an artifact too soon!
Keep going !
Hey Bryan, very useful video. Great to see concrete examples of the Zettelkasten method, especially from a near-neighbour. ;-)
Watched the first 5 minutes of this and it actually put me off getting this. 2/3 of the corrections it suggested were simply wrong. "The problems are't finding a good idea..' - Needing the s on problems removing and are't changing to isn't. It didn't see the s as a problem, and made no sensible suggestion for are't. 'For a book, it can take years and a series to see fruition in the form of an engaged readership.' - it wanted you to change 'in the form of' to 'as'. This changes the tense and the sentence now makes no sense. I get it's a tool, and that you can ignore suggestions. But it is surprising how rubbish it was frankly. If someone without a good sense of English used this, I could easily see how they could turn writing that made sense, into writing that made no sense.
My parents are John and Sylvia featured in Pirsig’s book.
Moby Dick. Never did a book turn me off reading. Luckily I recovered eventually.
Cn you please suggest with the replacement, that would be better..thanks! 👍
I'm not sure about this website. It seems pretty cool but I didn't go to school for writing beyond high school, I'm a musician that's looking for a job outside of music right now and my teachers always told me I was a good writer so I thought I might be decent enough at it to do some stuff on the side. I might try this out, they do have a 30-day money-back-guarantee so it might be worth it just to try. I just wonder how easy to is to actually find a few jobs and how time consuming they really are. Great video though! Thanks for the info.
As a writer of the school of the "No.2" pencil university..I like old school though not entirely "old school" . Have you got alot of flack about this?
Book name?
