Hey Reader,

I hope you had a great weekend!
​
I decided to spend some time in Denver, CO before the holiday craziness kicks in and man did I pick a great time! The weather has been absolutely amazing and I've spent so much time enjoying outdoors that it almost makes me miss living here.... almost.

But let's leave my feelings on Denver for another time & jump right into this week's newsletter!

✈️ TRAVEL TIPS: TSA Pre-check Not Showing on Boarding Pass

Ever checked in for your flight & noticed that your boarding pass doesn't identify you with having pre-check? Here are some common reasons why it may not be showing on your boarding pass & what you can do:

1. Your name on your booking doesn't match with your Known Traveler Number (KTN). This could be that any of your names didn't match or maybe were put in the wrong order. You can call or chat with the airline to try and get this resolved.
2. The KTN was not input during booking. When I traveled for work and corporate booked my flights this happened all the time. Fortunately, you can manage your booking and go back and add in your KNT and your boarding pass will update appropriately.
3. The KTN was input into the redress box on accident. The redress box is typically listed first, but when booking or managing your flight, there is a specific box for "Known Traveler Number" in which to put your number. If you put it in the other box, it won't identify you as having pre-check.
4. Your pre-check is expired. Whoops! Be sure to renew your pre-check or global entry every 5 years.
5. The airline doesn't participate in pre-check. Some airlines have not signed on to participate in the program.
6. Your flight started internationally even though your layover is in the US. This happened to me on a United flight from Cape Town to Dallas-Fort Worth with a transfer in NYC. I had to leave security to re-check my bag & then get back in line. My boarding pass didn't show pre-check & the line was insane so if I didn't get in I wouldn't make my flight so I skipped talking to an attendant. As I got to the front I finally figured out how to update my booking with my KTN and my boarding pass updated but I stayed in the general line & didn't risk it! Not sure if it's because I booked it in South Africa that happened, but always check all your boarding passes.

Also, I don't have CLEAR but I've seen lots of people online who have both. Super curious about anyone's experience using it vs Pre-Check.

🤳 REPURPOSING YOUR CONTENT

We all know the benefits of repurposing our content but putting it in action is a whole other ballgame!

Since becoming a full-time content creator last month, I really wanted to create a better system for re-sharing my TikTok content (my main creation platform) onto my other platforms.

After some research I came across Repurpose.io & I was blown away!

In one evening, I had all of my accounts connected & workflows created to easily repurpose my backlog of content (525 videos) plus any NEW content onto my YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest and LinkedIn.

You can choose to repost your content manually, or automatically, change the thumbnails, attach links (like for pinterest), set your posting schedule, and even select specific hashtags.

Oh and did I mention it works for podcasts too?

I was really dreading creating a system for this because going through my phone and finding original videos so that they didn't have watermarks is a chore in and of itself - but repurpose.io reposts with NO watermarks saving me so much time.

So if you struggle with reposting your great content on your many platforms - checkout Repurpose.io. I've been using it for 2 weeks and love it so far.

It's even backing up my videos to Google Drive for me, automatically, so I never lose any of my content to the will of these companies.
