As a musician, creating engaging content on social media is just as important as creating great music. Having professional-looking videos and social media posts can help elevate your music career and increase your fan base.  As a musician myself, I was looking for an inexpensive way to make this happen. I needed a tool that offered video templates and social media post templates that were customizable and professional-looking. After trying quite a few out I decided to go with Placeit by Envato.

In this post, I'll go over how using Placeit helped elevate our social media presence, decrease the amount of time I spent creating posts, and allowed me to produce professional looking ads on a budget.

Placeit has a wide variety of video templates that can be used to create music videos, lyric videos, promotional videos, and more. On the left is one example of a Instagram promo that I did for a new single the band had coming out.  All the templates are easy to customize. You can change the text, the colors, and even add your own images or video. You can export the video with music from their royalty free library or without music and add your own. 

In addition to video templates, Placeit also offers social media post templates. These templates are designed to help you create eye-catching posts that stand out on your social media feeds. Social media posts are an excellent way to promote your music and connect with your fans. The templates are easy to use, and you can customize them to fit your brand. Placeit's social media post templates will help you create professional-looking posts that will help you attract new fans and keep your current fans engaged. This is an example of a story post I used on Instagram and Facebook.

Besides all the cool features the pricing of the platform is truly affordable. You can purchase templates individually or sign up for a monthly subscription with unlimited downloads. You can also choose to go the annual subscription route, which provides you with the best value. No matter which option you choose, you will have access to a wide range of templates that will help you create professional-looking content.
