Part 1: Free Alternatives to Paid Tools for Content Creators in 2024
The rise of AI is the great story of our time. Those who succeed in mastering it will steer history.
INTRODUCTION
As a beginner, you might feel overwhelmed with the variety of tools available in the market. I had the same issue when I was starting seven years ago as a blogger and digital content creator.
Refrain from falling for the misconception that expensive tools are always better. There are free alternatives that are more than sufficient for beginners and can match up to the paid tools in terms of functionality. However, paid tools offer many benefits, too. Itβs more cost-effective to start with free tools as a beginner and then invest in paid tools once you get the hang of it.
NOTE: To add more value and as a USP of my blog, at the end of this blog post, I have designed and attached a cheat sheet/carousel of the tools discussed here.
Also, Iβll share this monthβs bonus tip or best productivity tools that are cheap, effective, and a game changer, which I personally use, prefer, and insist you all try. So do check them out and use them.
Here is the Bonus tip for you all:
Bonus Tip: One great AI Productivity Writing tool I recently started using for day-to-day writing and tasks such as plagiarism checker, grammar checker, Quillbot-Flow , paraphraser, summariser, and translator is QuillBot .
I wanted to try something similar and cheaper than Grammarly.
I took up its yearly premium for around $4/month(58 % off). The price is literally dirt cheap compared to Grammarly(12$ per month) and other writing and productivity AI tools I have used in the past.
Personally, itβs UI and UX is very simple and easy to use. So I just wanted to share this awesome, productive tool with you all. Do check it out and use it in your day-to-day writing tasks.
