A big part of being a content creator is constantly exploring new ways to stand out and engage your audience. Strategizing how to grow your followers and make more money every month can be overwhelming. One way to do this is to stay on top of new creator tools that will help you get the most out of your platforms.
The best new tools for creators in 2023
1) The best new tools for making money
Influencers get paid in various ways. You can use an affiliate site and get paid when fans click your links. Some people start their own Patreon, where people can receive bonus content from you for a fee. There are even creator programs on apps that pay based on how well your content performs.
One new way to monetize your platform is by using a cash-back tool for purchases, provided you make if you make valuable content, of course. Swaypay, a service for TikTok creators, pays you back for buying items from certain brands. All you need to do is create TikTok videos promoting the brand and the item.
Creators can earn anywhere from 10-50% back on what they spent on the items, based on the quality and engagement the video gets. If you’re already a regular consumer of brands on the platform, you can get reimbursed for your purchases just by creating content.
Another unique tool creators can use this year is Pearpop, which allows creators to connect with brands looking for new content around specific challenges and earn money once the content goes live.
2) AI tools to help your content flourish
Content creation comes with an endless to-do list of tasks to keep growing your platforms and creating. In 2023, some creators are turning to AI tools instead of spending thousands hiring copywriters or video editors to help polish their content.
New tools like Jasper.Ai and Copy.Ai can help write short, engaging copy that fits your brand voice. Jasper.AI offers a free trial, with plans starting at $45 a month. Copy.Ai has a free version for users who need 2,000 words or less, a month.
With video content prioritized by Instagram and TikTok’s algorithm, AI tools can help you get creative, regardless of your skill level.
Some of the top new AI video editing tools include Capsule (which has a free version) to help you record and edit videos. Gen-1 creates videos for you based on the text you share with it. Finally, Nova (which has a free version) can help you edit TikTok videos using its AI.
3) Try using a hashtag generator to help find your audience
Hashtags are a gift for increasing engagement on your content. Making your content easy for people to discover and search is essential on TikTok and Instagram. The audience is what shows brands you’re reputable.
