Postcraft Templates for YouTubers: Turn a spreadsheet into a quarter of on-brand posts

Turn a spreadsheet into a quarter of on-brand posts — bought once.

YouTubers pay monthly for screen recording, captions, clipping and scheduling before the channel earns a cent. One-time tools fix the cost of production at the price of a single video's ad revenue.

The tool this job usually means renting is Canva Pro, at $12.99/mo — roughly $156 a year, every year. Postcraft Templates does the job for a one-time $19 — running locally on your own machine.
