Do you love AI but have no time to learn it? This is the AI image generation app with the smallest learning curve.
An AI Image Generation App That's Easy, Fast, and my #1 GoTo
Read Time: 4 minutes
Working in a job where there's a lot of image creation?
Or do you need to improve the images you have?
The application of AI in marketing is broad, but Hubspot reports that 38% of us already use it for content creation.
Maybe you've tested other image LLM's but found they weren't quite up to scratch...
...Or maybe you're reading this, having not dappled in AI image generation at all.
If you're on the fence, consider this your sign to try Midjourney.
As someone who has tested 10+ AI image generation apps over the past year, I can say Midjourney on a browser is what I use most.
Today At a Glance ๐
It's the easiest to learn
You will generate HQ imagery in 2 minutes
Unlimited imagery for your brand for $144 / year
Worth a mention: A FREE video editing tool I use
Worth your time: The #1 SEO blog generator
Why You'll โค๏ธ It
Unlike most competitors (Dall-E, Canva), Midjourney consistently produces the best images.
This means:
The technology is much easier to learn; and
You get high-quality results faster.
Look mom ๐ฏ
Unlike using Midjourney on Discord, the .com version is designed for you to simply click through what you're looking for rather than generating your own prompts.
Lost? Let me show you...
I'm looking for an accurate depiction of a young girl, standing on a dock in NH summer. This was what Midjourney generated as a starting point.
Midjourney will autogenerate variations, too. This is the highest standard of accurate image generation from AI apps that we have.
Midjourney generates HQ variations. This is useful if you're looking at creating a montage of a similar image.
Again, Midjourney makes it incredibly straightforward to vary an image.
By using Midjourney's variation panel, you can get the exact shot you were imagining.
The total time to create the exact variation I imagined was just two minutes.
Talk about a time-saver. ๐คฏ
Unlimited brand imagery for $144/Year ๐คฏ
Sometimes, things sound too good to be true.
And sometimes, they are just that good.
Midjourney.com has become my go-to app for creating images, whether it's for my clients, this newsletter, workshops, or website banners.
Keep in mind that it's in the alpha stage, so you'll need a paid Midjourney account ($144/year) and have already created 100 images.

Then, you should have access to the .com browser version. Which I prefer because its 100 times easier to use.
An AI video tool Worth A Mention: Descript ๐น โ
Descript, my favorite video editing tool (because I have zero video editing skills and say 'ummm' alot) releases Underlord, its AI editing assistant. โ
...If you're marketing internationally, this one's for you. You'll soon be able to convert your own into 25 different languages depending on target demographic.
โDescript has a free plan that is well worth your time checking out. Bottom line? It'll make video creation and editing easier.
Worth Your time: Claude Sonnet 3.5 โ๐ผ
Anthropic has just introduced Claude 3.5 Sonnet, a faster and better-seeing version of their base models.
Sonnet gets props for visual reasoning tasks, such as interpreting charts and graphs, and accurately transcribes text from imperfect images - even handwriting.
The bigger news, versus this incremental upgrade, is 'Artifacts', which seems to be targeting Notion and business users.
