hi hi Queen, welcome back to my channel. Venance here for the best branding, business, and content creation tips. Make sure to subscribe to my channel, hit that bell so that you are notified every time I post a new video.

In today's video, we are going to dive into the 10 best apps I use to monetize my social media. If you want to use these apps to turn your content into cash, these are the apps you need. Guess what? A lot of these apps are free, okay? You don’t got to pay for some of them. You got to pay just to step it up a little bit, but you can use them for free.

Let's get into it!

Let's start with the first app, which is my favorite app—FaceTune. I love FaceTune. What would I do without you, FaceTune? Hey FaceTune, what would I do without you? With FaceTune, a lot of what I do is like whenever I take my pictures, I use FaceTune to make the picture look clearer, make the picture look crispy, make my face look better. Like, if I have a little pimple, you know, I take it out on FaceTune. I really, really love FaceTune so much.

You can smooth your skin, you can whiten your teeth, you can remove little pimples if you have any—like, FaceTune is so freaking good. Like, I'm so, so happy that I found FaceTune, and I've been using it for years. And I have FaceTune 2, and I do a payment—I have the yearly subscription for FaceTune. And I love it. I love it. I love it.

Second app I use is Tezza, and Tezza is what I use to create the perfect aesthetic feed. Lately, my feed has not really been giving aesthetic because I'm just focusing on creating the best content that I can and not really focusing so much on like how my page looks.

Tezza—the secret to having that perfect aesthetic page is to use the same filter. Tezza literally has the best filters. If you want to give like, oh—literally has the best filters. And I’ve used all the apps—Tezza filters, babe, it's the best.

The secret to making it work: You have to use one filter for all of your pictures. And you can like, move them around. Like, some of the pictures you can have more, some of the pictures you can have less of the filter. But you can do a lot more with Tezza.

I really like it because you can give a different vibe for all your pictures. I went to Cameroon, I used a specific type of filter, and it gave a different type of vibe. And then there were other times where I had a different type of vibe as well.

If you want to change your vibe every time—I see some people's feeds, it's like different every time. So if you want to do that, great. But for me, I kind of like to have the same consistent look just so people start noticing me and understanding how my feed is.

The next app is Canva. What would I do without Canva? I love Canva so, so much. I have created everything and anything on Canva. Canva—you can create stories, you can create posts, you can create ads, you can create websites.

What can’t you do with Canva?

I don’t know what I was doing before I found it. Everybody knows Canva, but with Canva, you can literally do everything.

Canva is one of the apps that has changed the game for me and really, really helped me with the inside things of my business. Like, I don't use Canva a lot on my Instagram, but I use it for the business side of what I do.

So I love Canva so much, and I recommend that you get Canva if you don’t have it. And make sure you actually pay for it. Don’t do the free version because it's a little limited. You cannot do transparent backgrounds without actually having the, you know, the monthly payment—or you can even do the yearly if you use it a lot.

But I love Canva.

But there’s also the free version if you want to use the free version.

Number four, we got Lightroom. Lightroom is my secret weapon when it comes to editing because it makes my pictures crispy, crispy, crispy clear.

Lightroom is so good because you can also have templates. So you can like, from one picture to another, you can literally copy the edits from one picture and put it on another picture. So that makes it really, really easy for you to edit all the time.

Like, this is one of the apps that truly changed the game for me.

If you're not editing your pictures with Lightroom—please, you need to. You need to do that ASAP.

Now, let's talk about FaceApp.

So sometimes when I'm editing my pictures, and I feel like my makeup is not truly giving—it’s not giving what it needs to give—I use FaceApp.

So FaceApp kind of makes my makeup look better. I use FaceApp just because I like how my face looks in some of the ones—like, I like "Cute," so I always use "Cute."

And I only use it on two.

Please do not FaceApp your face and look like a completely different person.

I have seen some pictures, and I’m like, babe, you FaceApped it. It looks FaceApped.

When you're looking at your FaceApp picture—if it looks like you FaceApped it, bring it down, babe. We don’t want to look crazy.

Just do it at two maximum. Never go to three. Three looks insane.

I don’t always FaceApp my pictures, but when I feel like my makeup is not really hitting, I’m going to use FaceApp.

But that’s one of the apps that really makes my face just look bam! Okay?

FaceApp.

Number six is Instagram Reels. I love Instagram Reels because sometimes if I don’t have like editing apps, I just use Instagram Reels.

It makes it super, super easy.

And you know what happens when you actually use Instagram Reels to edit your Reels?

You are going to get more Engagement—sometimes the app likes you to use all of the tools inside of it. Like, it actually wants you to use the features in there and not use another app to edit and then download it. On Instagram, sometimes it wants you to edit on the app because you get more engagement, likes, and views on your pictures, videos, and Reels when you're using the in-app tools. So that's why I like Instagram Reels.

But another ultimate one is CapCut—I love CapCut. I did not mention CapCut in here, but I'm going to add CapCut as number seven. CapCut is the next one to edit your videos. I don't know what I would do without CapCut. CapCut—hey, I love CapCut so much. You can edit videos, your Reels... If you're someone that does not know CapCut, especially for newer content creators, CapCut is the best thing to use.

But CapCut is connected to TikTok, and TikTok got banned. So when it got banned, we couldn't use CapCut. If TikTok gets banned again, CapCut is also going to get banned. So just keep that in mind.

Eight, we got Plann—that’s the app that you use to schedule and plan your posts, to really plan out my feed. You can also use Tezza to do this. So you can either do Tezza or you can do Plann, but Plann is one of the apps that I’ve used for so many years, and it really, really helped me stay organized with my pictures. You can even schedule posts as well.

So if you have two pages and you want to schedule posts on one page, you can use Planoly to do it. I always recommend not to schedule because I feel like your posts do not perform as well. So if you can post manually—like have it there, then click the button and post—it’s going to make more sense. It’s better than actually scheduling it.

But your feed looks really nice, and you can move things around to make sure your posts look really, really good. Okay? So Plann is such a good app to use for that.

The next app is called Linktree. For beginners, I also still use Linktree. Linktree turns your followers into customers, so you can have links on your website that take them to different places. With Linktree, you can really make it look pretty—like a mini website.

If you have a Shopify store, this is a feature they didn’t have before, but now they do. So now, you can actually link your products from Shopify. See how you have your Linktree? You click on your Linktree—boom—and you get all your links there. Now you can click on the store—look—you can add your own products on your Linktree, and it makes it so much easier.

Because I was praying for this, okay? So now you can do this, and I'm going to show you how. Here’s how you do it:

You go into your Linktree—now you have the links, and you have a store option. You’re going to add a product, okay? It's so easy. Then, you're going to go to your website, copy your product exactly, and then just paste it here and add it. It’s going to say "Finding your product"—now the whole product is here, the price, everything. Then, add the product—boom. And then it should just pop up on your store.

Now, how amazing is this? Something they didn’t have before, and now they do, and I’m just like—oh my God, thank God!

So yeah, this is also an app that I’ve used for so many years. Just link it in your bio, and that’s how you build your income streams. You can have your audience go to different links on your Linktree—your YouTube channel, your website, your email list. It's so nice.

I love Linktree, and I actually did a campaign with them—it was really, really nice.

And then lastly, we have Shopify. With Shopify, you can start selling digital products and connect your digital products directly. I use Shopify for my website, and it’s so, so amazing. You can run ads from your Shopify store, and basically, have your audience go there and purchase.

Shopify is probably one of my favorite platforms for digital products, mainly for selling to your audience. It’s very user-friendly, really easy to edit. I think they also have templates, so it makes it easy to customize everything.

Because I feel like a lot of websites are just so hard to use, you know? But Shopify is easy, and it's so beautiful. I love the templates as well. It’s really, really good for selling to your followers.

Those are all the apps that I use. They are so, so, so important to use for monetizing, making your pictures look amazing, staying consistent, and creating beautiful videos and Reels.

So these are all the apps that I use when it comes to monetizing my social media—on Instagram specifically, but also YouTube and TikTok.
