Planning to start your own YouTube channel to earn money online or grow your business? Not sure which tools, programs, software, or subscriptions to use? Stay tuned.
One of my YouTube subscribers recently asked me,
“Hey, which software should I start with?”
So, I suggested a few free options.
But then he said,
“I don’t mind paying for it. I’m okay learning from scratch. I just want to stick with one tool.”
That response really stuck with me. He sounded passionate and determined to start something serious. That’s why I decided to write this post. Here, I’m sharing all the tools I use — ones that are simple, affordable, and full of creative options. With these, you can easily go from basic edits to creating masterpiece-level content. Let’s dive in!
🎬 Wondershare Filmora – Easy Video Editing for Everyone
If you’re just starting out, Wondershare Filmora is a game-changer.
I tell every new creator, “You don’t need a complicated editor to make great videos.”
Filmora is simple to use, packed with effects, drag-and-drop tools, and powerful features — even green screen!
I started with this, and honestly, I still use it because it saves me time. It’s affordable, and they offer a one-time purchase or yearly plan.
👉 If you want to edit fast and create pro-looking videos without the learning curve, this is for you.
Next up — Canva.
🎨 Canva – Thumbnails, Graphics, and So Much More
I use Canva to create my video thumbnails, end screens, channel banners, social media posts, and even blog graphics — all in one place.
The free version is great, but Canva Pro unlocks magic tools like background remover, brand kit, premium templates, and more.
👉 If you want everything to look clean and eye-catching — without hiring a designer — Canva is a must.
✍️ Grammarly – Write Smarter, Sound Better
Now, let’s talk about writing — because your scripts, descriptions, and even titles matter.
This is where Grammarly comes in.
I use it to proofread my video descriptions, titles, blog posts, and social media captions. It catches grammar errors, improves clarity, and even suggests tone changes.
Trust me, “It’s like having a second brain when you write.”
The free version is powerful, but the Premium plan takes it to another level with advanced suggestions and plagiarism detection.
👉 If words are part of your content (and they are!), Grammarly will save you from embarrassing mistakes.
🔍 YouTube Video Information Generator – My Own Quick YouTube Data Helper
I recently created a tool called the YouTube Video Information Generator.
Many people ask me, “How can I quickly get video URLs, embed codes, thumbnails, and upload dates?”
So, I built this tool to do all that in seconds — saving you the hassle of digging through YouTube’s interface.
Whether you’re managing videos, doing SEO research, or creating content, this free generator makes your workflow much easier.
👉 If you want accurate video info instantly and want to work smarter, this tool is a must-have.
