  1. 1

    Plan the month

    A calendar and a bank of ideas make posting consistent.

    After this step: A planned month of content.

  2. 2

    Write the posts

    Captions and bios that sound like you.

    After this step: Posts ready to publish.

  3. 3

    Add video

    Short video reaches people that text can't.

    After this step: Video content and clips.

    Video & Audio

    HeyGen

    Create professional AI avatar videos, voiceovers and multilingual content without cameras, actors or editing software.

    Freemium · Free

    Is it right for me?

    Best for: Marketing teams, social media creators, online educators, sales teams, product marketers, customer-support teams, internal communications, training departments, multilingual brands and agencies producing video at scale.

    Consider another option if: Filmmakers seeking detailed timeline editing, users wanting fully open-ended cinematic generation, people uncomfortable with synthetic presenters, businesses without permission to use a person's likeness or voice, and users who need unlimited video production at a low fixed price.

    Video & Audio

    Fliki

    Create narrated videos, social clips, presentations and multilingual content from text, blogs, images or PowerPoint files.

    Freemium · Free

    Is it right for me?

    Best for: YouTube creators, faceless channels, bloggers, marketers and businesses that want to turn text, articles, presentations and ideas into narrated videos with AI voices, avatars, captions and translations.

    Consider another option if: Professional film production, advanced video editors requiring 4K exports, users needing unlimited generation, businesses needing detailed timeline control or large collaborative team features.

    Video & Audio

    Opus Clip

    AI clipping tool that turns long videos and podcasts into captioned, vertical short clips for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.

    Freemium · Free

    Is it right for me?

    Best for: Podcasters, YouTubers, interview shows, webinar hosts and marketing teams who want to repurpose long-form video into Shorts, Reels and TikToks without editing each clip by hand.

    Consider another option if: Creators who need a real video editor rather than a clipper, users wanting permanent free exports (free clips expire in 3 days and are non-commercial), anyone editing music videos or cinematic footage, and teams needing more than the minute-based upload allowance.

    Schedule and keep it going

    Queue posts so you publish consistently, not just when you remember.

    After this step: A month of content queued.

    Marketing & Social

    Best for: Solo creators, small businesses and freelancers who want dependable scheduling and honest analytics without enterprise complexity, and teams who need approval workflows on unlimited seats.

    Consider another option if: Agencies wanting deep social listening, sentiment analysis or unified reporting across dozens of brands (look at Sprout Social or Hootsuite), users who need Pinterest-tailwind-style features, and anyone who wants flat pricing regardless of channel count.
