INFLUENCER 101: Tools, apps and sites you can use on your Creator Journey.

Hi hello hi there hello there hello hi! It’s me Aunty Wes, bringing you a list of tools, apps and sites that are going to help you on your Influencer or Creator Journey. 

There are so many apps, these are just a few that can help streamline your creator journey in 2020-more.  Speaking of more - I’m gonna be bringing you more influencer tips, tricks, hacks and such this 2024 so hit that follow, like and share button for exclusive access to the gigs.

I popped a story onto the gram asking creators what are the apps they can’t live without, i got quite cool responses so here is a list that is in no particular order:

CREATING

This is aimed at design: hundreds of creators and influencers use CANVA because of its easy-to-use templates and presets. If you aren’t a “designer” per se but want to “design” posh posts for a more streamlined look and feel of your socials like reel covers or for your media kits or for your proposals etc, CANVA is a one-stop-shop for all things design. 

LIGHTING

I had no idea that this app existed but word on the street is many creators are diving into the importance of lighting and obviously we know that natural lighting will help make your content pop but more so, understanding the positioning of the sun; if you're someone that is shooting content in real time and you want to know the position of the sun maybe SUN SURVEYOR could help you. It can assist you plan your content ‘cause it’s gonna help you know about where the sun is going to be and when sunset and sunrise will be. 

SCHEDULING

I often get asked about a scheduler. Creators, a good thing to invest in is a brilliant scheduler. In one sitting you can schedule all that needs to be posted on all the respective platforms and tick. It’s done. There are literally hundreds of scheduling apps available for you to use but cool apps and websites that deserve a mention are LATER.COM and METRICOOL.

I use LATER.COM however, what I like about METRICOOL is that it has a cool analytic system for you to peruse your content from all different types of angles and can run reports to help you just keep an eye on things. META also lets you do scheduling natively; so scheduling within the META website on desktop may be something that you might want to use, especially if META is the only platform you post on. 

WORKFLOW MANAGEMENT

Workflow management for creators can be a massive task and a cool tool you could use, especially if you're needing a central place to assist managing tasks, is CLICKUP. CLICKUP has a nice way of helping you stay organized, on task and on time through Its robust system, you can also have multiple team members. So if you are looking for a way to keep yourself organized in the new year, to manage your tasks and give yourself due dates, assignments and deadlines, you may want to give CLICKUP a go ‘cause I think this could be really helpful for you. Other honorable mentions are ASANA and LITERALLY KEEPING A DIARY. 

'til next time,

Adios!
