Good morning and Happy Independence Day to you 🇺🇸 

Today’s the day we became the land of the FREE, and with that in mind, we have an offer for you…

• If you forward and refer this newsletter to just ONE person, just one other person, we will send you an email directly with a AI ChatGPT Cheat Sheet for beginners.

With all the hype and noise around AI, it makes it tough to follow it all, let alone learn how to use the product itself.

It can be frustrating, even when you are trying to figure out where to start.

Just so you know, we love it and use it for hours every week.

We currently use this Cheat Sheet to help us with our weekly editions and its such an awesome tool to use if you are just getting your feet wet with using AI.

After doing some research, we sourced this online and it could be sent directly to you if you refer someone that you know to join On The Fly.

*Please check out the bottom of the email for more as we provide the referral link to share. This way, you get credited for the referral and then an email will be sent directly to you with the AI ChatGPT Cheat Sheet.

Here’s whats on the menu for this week:

🤝 A digital networking hack that deals with those DM’s.

💰️ The difference between a bull and bear market.

🗣️ A visual food for thought on dopamine and passion.

And a lot more…

The inevitable DM: As most of us know, DM’s are a constant in our society.

We DM people to say hello, to sell a product, to say something funny and of course, to network.

What about networking?

If you’re going to DM someone for the first time and you’re having a tough time trying to figure out what to say, use this approach:

• Greeting → Compliment → True Purpose. Done.

For example:

Hey, my name is _______ and I really enjoy the style of your social media page. It’s super creative and I am going to use it as inspiration for my next project. I am reaching out to you to see if you have availability on your calendar so I could learn more about what you do and how you have gotten to where you are in your career. Thanks.

What the heck do you mean by a Bull or Bear market?

Short & Sweet: The two terms describe how stock markets are performing in general.

• Bull market: A market that is on the rise and the conditions of the economy are generally favorable.

• Bear market: A market that exists in an economy where most stocks are declining in value.

Why It Matters: Because stock markets navigate in a bull or a bear market.

It’s important for individuals to know what market we’re in so they can make informed investment decisions when buying stocks.

Let’s go a bit deeper via story-telling with ChatGPT.

Major Moves 🗞️ 

🐦️ TWITTER:

• Well, this is some BIG news for a BIG company.

• “On Saturday, owner Elon Musk tweeted that Twitter would combat “extreme levels of data scraping,” by limiting accounts that don’t subscribe to Twitter Blue so that they could see only 600 posts per day. Once you hit the quota, almost any act on the site would trigger a “rate-limit exceeded” error.”

• What’s BIGGER news than this? How about an app called “Spill.” A former employee of Twitter created it to build a social platform for diverse communities from the get-go rather than as a afterthought.

💡 scriptic:

• Gaming and AI continue to ride the same wave. Just ask Scriptic, who raised $5.7M in funding to create games based on generative AI.

• “The funding brings the company’s total seed round to $8.2 million, following an initial investment of $2.5 million from Vgames, Moonfire, and angel investors including Unity founder David Helgason and Twitch co-founder Kevin Lin.”

• Even when AI gets more into gaming, we keep you informed.

🚛 UPS:

• Well, this is nice to read about.

• “United Parcel Service (UPS) reached a tentative deal with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters…During a hard-fought day at the bargaining table, the #Teamsters reached [a] tentative agreement with UPS on three major economic issues,” the union announced in a Twitter thread, “tearing down the 22.4 two-tier wage system, establishing Martin Luther King Day as a full holiday for the first time, and ending forced overtime on drivers’ days off.”

• What a back and forth this has become 👀 

💸 happyfuncorp:

• This is happy news for one company.

• “In the latest development, HappyFunCorp — a product engineering house that designs and builds apps and more for the likes of Apple, Disney, Amazon and Twitter — is getting acquired by Canadian firm Tiny for $30 million. Tiny is based out of Canada and is publicly traded there with a current market cap of around $500 million.”

• We can’t get over the name of the company still 😆
