@klinttips: Nobody told me that every stage of a channel has a small set of tools that do the job. If you pick one per stage, you stop guessing and start publishing. This one picture is the whole stack, one row per stage: 🔎 Research: YouTube Studio, Perplexity, NotebookLM ✍️ Scripts: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini 🎬 Record + Edit: OBS Studio, DaVinci Resolve, Audacity 🖼️ Thumbnails: Canva, Figma, Photoshop ⚙️ Automation: n8n, Zapier, Make How to use it: pick ONE tool per row and stick with it for 30 days. Most of these have free plans or free tiers, so you can start at $0 (Photoshop is the paid one, and Canva or Figma can replace it). Check each tool's current plan before you rely on it, because limits change. Mistake to avoid: don't try all 15 this week. Choose 5, one per stage, and publish your first video with them. Save this post so you can find it when you start your next video. Send it to a friend who keeps saying "I'll start my channel soon. #youtubetools #youtubeautomation #aitoolsforcreators #yta #youtubetips
