Free Tools You Must Know As A beginner influencer & Content Creator
Pro Tools or Pro Creator
Many beginner level creators in social media circle long to have pro tools. They think if they have these expensive pro tools they can become successful as these big creators. if you are a beginner lover creator or a small influencer please listen to me. The pro is not in tools. It’s in person. It’s in creator. You don’t need to put a hole in your pocket to become a pro level creator. The software and online tools have come into a point where there is a very subtle difference between pro and free tools. In this video I am going to introduce free software and tools in five major areas of content creation.

Operating System
Graphical Design
Live Streaming
Video Editing
Audio Editing.
What is best Free OPERATING SYSTEM?
For Operating System I would like to recommend Ubuntu. Ubuntu is a free and open source operating system. For comparison Windows 11 cost you around 130 to 200 U.S. dollars. Worst case is Windows 11 even don’t run in old PCs. I have a fairly a decent PC, but my PC don’t run Windows 11. Once the official windows 10 support ends I don’t know what is going to happen. But why Ubuntu? Ubuntu is a highly established operating system in Linux ecosystem. Ubuntu has active development cycles, regular bug fixes and security updates. Ubuntu has a large user base and active online support community. If you run into any problem, most probably it is already addressed in internet. Ubuntu has just released 22.04 a long term support version. It will be supported for five more years. I have dual boot in my PC. Windows 10 and Ubuntu 22.04.

What is best Free GRAPHICAL DESIGN tool?
For a graphical design tool I would like to recommend canva.com. Canva is a one-stop free tool for any kind of graphical design needs. Canva offers hard to believe free features, large collection of designs and templates and it is very easy to use. Canva also offers a slide based video creation that will be used for info-graphics kind of video. It has so many inbuilt apps that will make your content shine. You can access Canva through canva.com. However Canva also offers free mobile and desktop apps. I use Canva all the time. I do have a video in my channel about creating YouTube banner using Canva. Watch it if you need. I also have Canva pro affiliate link in my description. You can use that also if you like to.

If you are a bit more adventurous and want to use a standalone software like Photoshop, use GIMP. It has all the potential to satisfy a beginner level creator.

What is best LIVE STREAMING Software?
For live streaming I would like to recommend OBS Studio. OBS Studio was designed as a live streaming software. But it is a mistake if I just box OBS Studio as a live streaming software. Over the years OBS Studio has adorned with other features which live streamers and content creators really need. So obs studio is now a live streaming software, a video recorder, an audio recorder if you will, screen recorder and a virtual camera creator. OBS Studio has large free add-on modules and it is compatible with windows mac book and Linux. OBS Studio with all its features and add-on extensions it’s a highly versatile software.
