Bloggers, regardless of experience or niche, will need a set of blog tools to write, attract their audiences and optimize their websites. Here are five essential tools to run a blog smoothly.
Keyword Research Tools
Contents
Keyword research is all about finding the best keywords to use in an article or blog post. Adding the right keywords will help people find the information they want and give you more traffic and revenue in the process.
Image Editing Tools
All content should come with eye-catching graphics and images to appeal to the visitors’ senses. A blog post that’s only made up of blocks of text will not generate as much attention as one that has pictures and illustrations.
Image editing tools can be as simple or complicated as you’d like, depending on how professional you want your website to appear.
Productivity Tools
Productivity tools can give you the focus you need to churn out interesting and well-made blog posts in a timely manner. These tools or apps help draw away distractions and let you become more productive. For example, there’s a productivity app that sounds off an alarm every 45 minutes to tell you to rest before continuing.
Writing Tools
Basic writing tools include word processors and apps. There are also advanced writing tools that give you an outline that you can fill in easier with content. Some of the best writing tools are on tablets and computers since they have a bigger screen (so you can write more comfortably).
A Computer and an Internet Connection
This may sound obvious, but every blogger should have a computer that’s connected to the internet. It’s an important device that can do everything, including edit images, keyword research and write. The same can be said of a mobile device, but then bloggers can write and create content more efficiently with a laptop or computer.
