5 BEST CONTENT CREATION APPS OF 2022

BECOME A CONTENT CREATION QUEEN.

I don't think anyone tells you that being an entrepreneur in 2022 means you also have to be a content creator.

A lot of business takes place online now. People find their hairstylists, lash technicians, favorite beauty brands, coaching advice, life advice—everything online!

The online business world is competitive and fast-paced.

You have to generate a lot of content to stay on top of your client's radar!

Here's the thing: you want to ensure your content is high quality. You don't want to put out half-baked content. That won't reflect well on your business, you know?

So you have to create content, and you have to create good content, but you also have to run all of the other aspects of your business as well! It's a lot, I know.

That's why I've put together a list of my top 5 content creation apps that are easy to learn, easy to use, and will help you make better content for 2022!

Let's get into it.

1. Grammarly

Grammarly is my best friend; I'm not even joking.

Grammarly is basically your spell-checker on steroids. You can use it as a plug-in for your MacBook, smartphone, Gmail, Google Chrome, and more!

What it does is scan your writing and flag spelling and grammatical errors. It also has helpful tone indicators that tell you how your text might sound to your readers. This is super helpful if you have difficulty getting your tone across in your copy. Some people might find you abrasive or have issues understanding your tone: Grammarly will help!

It's also helpful for me and others on my team who aren’t native English speakers! Grammarly always has our backs!

If you pay for the premium subscription, it will also give you clarity, engagement, and delivery tips!

If writing is a weakness of yours, try Grammarly! We use it for every bit of content we write captions, scripts, emails, and blog posts.

2. Canva

Canva is an absolute life-saver, and it makes creating beautiful-looking content super easy.

Creating graphics can be hard work, especially when you put all of your creative energy into other places—like your work! With Canva, you can quickly and easily make eye-catching graphics that grab your audience's attention and boost engagement.

You can even create a brand kit for yourself with a premium account! This includes fonts, colors, and logos that you put together; that way, you can guarantee that all of the graphics you make will be uniform and cohesive.

You don't want to make a bunch of content that looks like it belongs to ten different people, right?

The great thing about Canva, too, is that you can recreate any design you make in different dimensions just by resizing it! You can turn a square Instagram post into a story post, YouTube Banner, thumbnail, and more! It makes creating a lot of content quick and easy.

They even have an option to animate your text and images, which makes turning your graphics into fun videos even easier!

If you struggle with creating unique graphics that fit your brand—try Beauty Social 365 and get a year's worth of social media graphics done for you!

3. Adobe Creative Cloud

Adobe products can seem a little more advanced to some, but if you're making a lot of content for different platforms, Adobe can help you out.

My team uses Photoshop to edit pictures quickly and create gifs from my videos! These assets help our content stay consistent, professional, and personal!

We also use Adobe Premiere to edit all of our videos—IGTVs, our beauty business courses, promotional videos, and YouTube videos!

Premiere has even added this incredible new feature that automatically does captions for you!

We used to upload our audio to a separate software, generate a transcript, and then hand-type captions on every video. Now it's as easy as clicking a button.

If you make a lot of video content and want to make it look more professional, try Adobe Premiere!

4. Google Docs

Listen, if you have a team writing for you—or even if it's just you—you need to be using Google Docs.

For one, all of your documents are automatically stored on the cloud; plus, it autosaves! So you don't have to worry about losing any documents because your browser suddenly freezes, or the power goes out, or you accidentally spill coffee all over your keyboard.

We've all been there.

The other great thing about Google Docs is that it's super easy to share information between team members. Just copy and paste the link, and you can send it to everyone who needs it! You can change permission so people can view, edit, or comment.

Collaboration becomes super easy. Plus, it works with Grammarly!

Google Docs is my favorite way to keep all of our copy organized. Whether it’s script documents, promo material, email drafts, this blog post, or just a bullet list of ideas—this keeps everyone in my team super organized.

5. Trello

Now, I use Trello for basically everything in my business.

I use it to keep track of leads and potential clients, our current students in Pretty Rich Bosses, content ideas for my team, and our content calendar.

There are a ton of apps that you can use to build a content calendar, but Trello is the one that I've found works best for my team!

Trello allows you to create a board for every day of the week and lay out all of the content that you have to post.

We label all of our content based on where it goes: @RealSheilaBella, @PrettyRichBosses, my email list, my text list, our Facebook Groups, YouTube, and Podcast episodes.

Then if you have any team members you need to add to these posts to take care of them, Trello allows you to add them to their specific posts easily.

It keeps things super organized, and best of all—it's free!
