Hey, Anirban here. How are you doing today?

After writing the last edition, some of the subscribers started asking. Hey, as you’ve shared how to become a creatopreneur, why don’t you share the tool stack I need?

So let me share the tool stack you need to be a creatopreneur.

Well, I myself don’t use many tools because I believe in keeping it simple for myself. But it’s not the same for you. So let me help you out.

As a creatopreneur, everything runs with content, right? So the first thing you should be working on is your content.

Use it to capture ideas, draft content, store templates, and organise everything in one place. I use it as my digital brain.

No matter what you say, if you want a simple, distraction-free writing space, this is the best option. It works everywhere.

Good writing is clear writing. Grammarly helps me to fix the grammar, and sometimes my writing conveys the wrong meaning. Grammarly solves it.

Bright helps me to categorise the ideas and write posts, and see what it will look like on the social media feed.

Whenever I come across an idea, the first thing I do is quickly add it to the Bright library, and I note the direction and angle of my idea.

I collect ideas from the survey and the Beehiiv form.

If you want to know the search intent, then Answer the public is your best bet. And secondly, Reddit convos.

Most new creators overthink gear. But my iPhone does the job for me, even if you don’t have an iPhone. Start with anything you’ve once you make enough money, you can upgrade.

I don’t like to make it hard for me, so I use the simple edit app for basic caption adding.

For podcasting and long-form video recording, I use Riverside, the best tool in the market.

For tracking my time, I use Toggl. I can recommend it.

Canva

For designing, hands down, Canva is the best tool. Nothing comes close to this when you’re someone who’s not so good with design but wants amazing designs.

Google drive

I keep all of my raw files on Drive so nothing gets lost. But the 15GB mark is so hard to operate, but it’s reasonable to upgrade, not too costly.

I use Whop as my community platform. It’s sleek and has no upfront cost.

Beehiiv’s link in bio is sufficient.

If I have any important calls, I always record them with Fathom, the best notetaker ever exists in the market.

Nothing comes close to Beehiiv for real! It’s damn good, and I make money with it too.

For the Digital product, earlier I was Lemon Squeezy as I wasn’t able to use Beehiiv, but now I’ve shifted to Dodo Payments and am using their storefront.

For payments, I use Wise, it’s better than anything else in the market + Revolut (We Indian’s can’t have an account, but the clients can operate with it)

At the end of the day, the tool does not make you a creatopreneur. Your consistency does. Pick the simplest stack you can maintain. Then create daily and make a hella a lot of money.
