Artlist
BEST MUSIC SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE
Artlist is a crowd favorite among creators because of its royalty free licensing. Once you download a song, it's yours to use for whatever you want, whenever you want. Use the songs for commercial projects, YouTube, personal projects, anything. To me, this is what makes Artlist the best site for music. It has a wide list of quality songs and the annual subscription gives you unlimited downloads.
With this link, you can get your first 2 months free!
Artgrid
BEST MUSIC SUBSCRIPTION PROFESSIONAL STOCK FOOTAGE SITE
Artgrid is a great option for getting professional, high quality stock footage for your videos. They have monthly or annual subscription services with unlimited downloads and huge library of clips. I'm a big fan of the fact that you can get a subscription to download LOG footage of each clip.
Production Crate
QUALITY VFX AND GRAPHICS FOR VIDEOS
I've been using ProductionCrate for years now. It's an incredibly affordable annual subscription that offers unlimited downloads on awesome overlays, visual effects, motion elements, sound effects, and even music. Whether you sign up to create some professional looking action films with VFX or you use the subscription for YouTube animation, I think you'll find the site is well worth the money.
MotionVFX
FANTASTIC PLUG-INS FOR FINAL CUT PRO
If you're looking for Final Cut Pro and now Davinci Resolve plug ins that are high quality and well worth the money, the consensus it out that MotionVFX offers the best options. They have a wide selection of titles, effects, transitions, templates and more. I've made the mistake of going to cheap route with plug ins in the past and now I've realized buying high-caliber plug-ins like the ones you'll find in MotionVFX is hands down the route to take.
TubeBuddy
INCREDIBLE GROWTH TOOL FOR YOUTUBE
My channel isn't that big, but I can confidently say I probably wouldn't even have 1000 subs yet if I didn't have TubeBuddy. It streamlines everything so I know how I should create my titles, descriptions, tags, etc. If you have a lot of videos that need updating, you can use the bulk processing feature that allows you to change titles, descriptions, and other paramaters across all your videos with the click of a button. There's a free plan to start, but the real benefit comes from getting the pro version.
Geniuslink
BETTER LINK TRACKING AND MANAGEMENT
Geniuslink is a great way to shorten the links you put out there and allow you to track them to see how they perform with extremely detailed analytics. It allows you to keep the same shortened link even if you switch up the URL of the video. It's also an incredible tool for affiliate marketing as it routes the 'clicker' to the appropriate store based on their location.
