- I'm gonna share with you a list of apps
that are gonna help you do a bunch of different things
around your YouTube channel, and we're starting right now.
(intense rock music)
Okay, so the very first thing that we are gonna talk about,
of course, because you're a content creator,
you're making videos for YouTube, is video-editing apps.
Now I know some of you are on iPhones
and some of you are on Androids,
but don't worry, I've got you covered for both.
So if you're on an iPhone,
Videoleap is what you wanna be using.
It's extremely easy to use,
you can add multiple tracks
so that you can make professional quality videos.
You can adjust the sounds,
add all kinds of amazing filters to it,
it's super easy to use.
If you're on an iPhone, you can try it for free,
you're gonna love it.
If you're on an Android device, however,
you'll definitely want to use KineMaster,
until Videoleap comes out with their Android version,
which should be coming out soon.
Now, since you are a content creator, of course,
it's also important for you to make sure
that you are doing your social media, right?
So for that there's a cool little automation tool
where you can schedule posts to Twitter,
and Facebook, and things like that.
It's an app called Buffer.
And one thing that I really like about Buffer is,
in addition to the scheduling part,
I almost got, I got a car coming up here.
(car horn blaring)
Can't do much with social media if you get ran over, right?
Be careful out there.
But anyway,
Buffer makes it easy to schedule social media posts,
and you can also just add it to a queue.
So if you wanna just dump a bunch of tweets in there,
like let's say that you're eating,
you're like, yeah, I'm just gonna do a bunch of tweets,
then you can just add it to the queue
and tell it how often to post those tweets.
It's pretty awesome.
Okay, so you've got your video editing app
so that you can make sure
that you're cutting up your videos,
you've got a way to distribute them pretty much on autopilot
through an app called Buffer.
Now, next thing on our list is Google Slides.
Now I know what you're probably thinking,
you're probably thinking to yourself, hey Nick,
why would I wanna use Google Slides for something?
I'm a YouTuber, I'm not putting together presentations.
Well, as a content creator,
it's important that you do put together
a media kit for yourself,
so that if you start working
with sponsors or something like that,
you can present yourself in a professional way.
Plus, if you're making a video
where you're doing like top 10s or something like that,
then one of the things that you can also do
is you can use the slides as your one through 10 numbers.
If you export them,
you can make them look cool inside of Google Slides
and then just export them out, use them in your videos.
Next on the list is Todoist.
Todoist is awesome because it's a project manager,
it's basically like a to-do list, right,
'cause the name Todoist.
But in addition to it being a project manager,
you can also use it to organize your video ideas as well,
and just mark off the list as you complete the video ideas.
Now Todoist also has a desktop version,
which is really cool,
because with a desktop version,
if you are doing some things on a computer,
some things on your phone,
it just gives you that flexibility
to sync everything up, which is pretty awesome.
Bitly is the next one that's up on the list.
And the reason that Bitly is awesome
is because it allows you to track all of the links
that you're sending off YouTube.
So let's say, for example,
that you are promoting something as an affiliate,
or that you have a sponsor
that is having you promote specific things
and having people click links,
you can see on your end how many clicks
you're actually sending to that affiliate offer,
to your website, to your email list and all that,
so you can start to get a general idea over time,
over how well certain topics convert over others
and what causes people to click more than other things
when you share them in your videos.
I like that fall-back thing that I did before
so I'm gonna do it again.
But the next thing on our list if If This Then That.
Now the really cool thing about If This Then That
is that it's automation,
so you can set it up if you have channel memberships
so that you can get weekly emails,
letting you know exactly how many people joined
your channel memberships.
You can set it up
so that you can welcome new channel members publicly
on Twitter.
You can also set it up to automatically share your videos
and things like that.
But If This Then That, or IFFT, or IFT, I don't know.
All right, here, let's do this the easy way,
it looks like it is IFTTT.
Regardless, it looks like this right here.
But it's really cool
because you get to set up a bunch of automations
to where all this stuff happens in the background.
After you set it up,
all this stuff happens in the background,
without you having to mess with anything,
which is pretty awesome in my book.
Next on the list is an app called Duet.
The really cool thing about Duet is
it lets you use your phone or your tablet
as a second monitor if you are using a laptop
or a computer for anything.
So let's say you happen to travel
and you need a second monitor to live stream
or anything like that,
Duet allows you to use your iPad,
or your Android tablet or phone,
as a second monitor while you're on the go.
