✦ CHAPTER 6: TOOLS & RESOURCES FOR VTUBERS ✦

🧰 “Work smarter, not harder.”

If you want to grow efficiently as a VTuber, you need the right tools in your toolbox. This chapter covers essential programs, apps, and resources to streamline your workflow, save time, and increase your content’s quality — even if you’re a one-gremlin team.

✦ PART 1: Scheduling Tools

Content creation is already hard enough. Don’t let posting be another battle.

A good post-scheduling app will let you plan your content ahead of time, save time on cross-posting, and stay consistent even when you’re sick, tired, or busy.

⭐ Recommended App: B-Plan

🔗 https://app.beplan.io

B-Plan is my top recommendation — and not just because I’m partnered with them (though I am). Here’s why:

• Made for creators, not corporations
• Works like Buffer or Fidesha, but better
• You can post to Twitter/X, Instagram, TikTok, Threads, BlueSky, and Discord
• VTubers were their first testers, so the dev is actually listening to our needs
• The dev is super responsive and open to adding features — like YouTube Community post scheduling (which is coming soon!)

💸 Price: Around $15/month

🌟 Worth it? Absolutely, if you’re taking content seriously. It saves hours of time.

Optional Alternatives:

• Buffer – Clean interface, limited on the free plan
• Metricool – Offers analytics + scheduling, but not as flexible
• Later – Mostly for Instagram / visual content, not VTuber-optimized

If you’re just starting, free tiers of these can help — but I recommend B-Plan long term.

✦ PART 2: Video Editing Tools

Clips and Shorts are one of your biggest growth tools. But editing takes time…

unless you have the right program.

⭐ Recommended Program: Wondershare Filmora

🔗 https://filmora.wondershare.com

Filmora is hands-down my favorite video editor for VTubers. Why?

• User-friendly interface — perfect for beginners
• Insanely fast compared to Adobe Premiere or DaVinci
• Smart tools like:
  • Silence detection (auto-cutting quiet parts)
  • Drag-and-drop effects
  • Easy meme captioning
  • Presets for social media dimensions

💸 Price: Around $20/month for premium features

🌟 Worth it? YES. If you want to make Shorts quickly, this is a lifesaver.

Other Options:

• CapCut Desktop – Great for free edits, but limited control
• DaVinci Resolve – Powerful, but has a steep learning curve
• Adobe Premiere – Industry standard, expensive, slower for simple projects

If you’re making content regularly, Filmora will save you literal hours per video.

✦ PART 3: Social Platform Upgrades

People always ask me: “Is Twitter Blue / Instagram Premium / Threads Verified worth it?”

✦ Here’s my honest answer:

If you’re just here for fun — no, don’t worry about it.

But if you’re treating VTubing as a business or long-term career?

Then yes, invest in the tools.

Why? Because:

• Twitter Blue / Premium boosts your visibility in replies and search
• Instagram Premium boosts you in Reels feeds and recommendations
• Threads Verified gives you early access to features
• These platforms prioritize paid users in the algorithm — it’s in the code

Even just $8/month can shift your reach, especially if you’re consistent.

Is it fair? No.

Is it real? Unfortunately, yes.

So if you can afford it and you’re serious? Do it.

✦ PART 4: Discord Tools

A lot of VTubers are running full communities on Discord now — and you need tools to help.

🔧 Tools to Try:

• HammerTime – Lets you convert timezones for collabs and events
• BePlan (again) – YES, it even lets you schedule Discord posts
• SapphireBot / CarlBot / MEE6 – Role reaction, server automation, Twitch alerts, clip-of-the-day, etc.

If you’re running events, redebuts, or collab-heavy Discords, scheduling + timezone bots are non-negotiable. Trust me. You’ll thank yourself later.

✦ PART 5: Organization & Planning

Let’s talk about my favorite tool on earth: Notion.
