Subscriptions I pay for as a content creator 💗

I don’t regret paying three subscriptions as a content creator and using them daily!

— Grammarly [~$100]

I got it because it made my content creation process faster and is great for answering emails.

— Canva [$120]

I use it to create graphics & monthly freebies.

— Wix [$150]

This is where I host my website/blog.
