Canva is my go-to app for designing consistent and branded images for sharing on social media, in my blog, as well as my email newsletter. Canva is a must-have tool for content creators looking to monetize their blogs by creating digital products. Canva's pre-made templates make it possible for bloggers to create and launch products within just a couple of hours. I am on the paid plan, especially since I also use Canva for multiple creative businesses.

I've been creating blogs and professional websites on the Squarespace platform since 2013. I love how Squarespace makes it incredibly simple, easy, and seamless to focus on content creation.

&nbsp;
With Squarespace, you can have a brand new blog ready to go in an hour. You can add your brand colors and fonts and it will auto-populate various color combinations for website pages. Now, instead of spending time fixing the backend part of my website, I get to spend time creating content for my website visitors.

As a multi-passionate content creator who loves to combine my love of songwriting, family photography, brand/web design, and content creation, I've saved COUNTLESS HOURS&nbsp;(no kidding here) creating, curating, and editing my creations with my TourBox Elite. My husband gifted me my TourBox after hearing me talk about how editing photos and designs on my computer was causing carpal tunnel pain.
&nbsp;
TourBox is designed to speed up and improve any content creators' experience in video editing and color grading, photo retouching, and drawing. It simplifies the creative process and makes it more efficient and seamless.
&nbsp;
You can create presets for your most-used tasks and steps and save each preset and shortcut for each app you use. I love using mine in Lightroom, Photoshop, Affinity Designer, Affinity Publisher, and Logic Pro.

&nbsp;
Just like you have keyboards for stickers and GIFs, you can now have one for content! I use my Boards app for my frequently-used Instagram hashtags, FAQ's, initial DM messages for new Instagram subscribers, workflows, and links to all my freebie landing pages. You can access the content you need by switching keyboards on your device and clicking on the one you'd like to share or use.
&nbsp;
Gone are the days of opening multiple apps searching for content in different places, and copying and pasting over and over again.
