How to edit like a pro using your iPhone
You already have everything you need to create quality content.
I want to start the newsletter by thanking you for joining our team of founders, I wouldn’t be able to do this without you.
Let’s recap, I have so much news this month. I have been invited to a lot of events in the city (NYC) and it has been amazing. As I shared with you, these past 30 days I attended my first brand dinner by UGG x Extra Butter and the opportunities that come from events like this are unreal. I might be working with UGG in the future and just getting to talk with someone from their team gives me a lot of hope and motivation.
I have been sending some founders to events in the city as well. If you live in NYC or are about to visit the city around Oct-Dec, I highly advise you to join our team of founders to attend brand events. Last week, Ally (Head of Partnerships at Monday Creators) and I attended a really cool brand event at a penthouse. I’m crossing my fingers to work with the brands at that event. We were able to meet the PR teams from BOOT BARN, FOREVER21, LEE JEANS, MARLOWE and many more. I will post a reel today so you can get the full picture. Make sure to watch MondayCreatorss & Ludjero.closet IG story tonight.
Before we jump into our topic, let’s check out what’s happening with our community this week.

Sherin’s started a GoFundMe to help her family in a very difficult situation. She is from Lebanon and she’s living with her mom in Tanzania at the moment. Her dad had a stroke back in May and since then things have been very hard for her family especially because her dad was the bread winner in the family. With everything happening in the world + the never ending war, things are getting even harder for her family. Please read more about Sherin’s story and if you can support her in anyway she would be greatful.

Alright, now let’s get into it.
How to edit like a pro using your iPhone 📱
I used to think that in order to create high quality content, I would need a very expensive camera or to pay someone to shoot for me. Turns out everything is already on your iPhone if you know how to use it. I will share these camera tips with you and I’m sure they will help you create better content.
Here is how you should set up your camera settings:
Watch this video to see how I shoot majority of my content.
If you noticed in the video I’m shooting in portrait mode, but this is totally optional. You should try both and compare which one is your favorite.
What’s next?
Now that you know how to use your camera you might think it’s over, but we are just getting started. If you have been posting content without editing outside of Instagram or TikTok maybe it’s time to change that.
Here is a list of Apps you should download to edit your content.
1- Canva
2- CapCut
3- VN
4- PicsArt
5- Videoleap
6- Lightroom
The ones that I would say is a must are number 1, 2 and 3. These 3 apps are free and you can accomplish a lot by using their free version.
I’ll end today’s newsletter by sharing with you how I edited these pictures using Canva:
Every time I use this editing skill my content reach 10k-50k+ accounts. This single post reached over 50K accounts on instagram and it was a carousel post.
Canva is by far the easiest app to use and create high quality content. I’m going to show you how to use Canva to create this clone effect.
