Blogging Tools You Need for Being a Successful Blogger

Free Blogging Tools: Blogging is fun and successful when one knows what tools to use. Handy tools are now available on phones that we use every day.

Not all the tools can be effective but here I will be sharing the most popularly used free blogging tools that I use every day. Once I used these tools, they turned handy and I found them worth sharing.

1. Grammarly Keyboard

As good as Grammarly as in browser plugins, the Grammarly Keyboard is available in Play Store. You can use Grammarly as a guide and editor in terms of grammar.

It not only eases the work of finding spelling errors but also simple grammar errors. It provides possible correct spellings and grammatical structures that best suit what one has entered wrongly.

2. Canva

It is a cool application that you can use to create beautiful pictures for blog posts, social media, and other platforms at the click of a few buttons. With it, one can create beautiful and intriguing images both for blogs/websites and promote them through social media.

Here are some of the pictures I created using Canva. These two pictures were used in my other blog Dzongkha.

3. BuzzSumo

Understanding what topics and types of content generate top social media engagement is vital information for bloggers. BuzzSumo is an in-depth blogging tool designed to help writers discover relevant topics, top influencers, and other key data including social media insights.

Bloggers also use the BuzzSumo tool for content inspiration by researching competitors and trends.

4. Yoast SEO

Yoast SEO is a popular WordPress plugin to optimize a website and blog content for search engines. You can accomplish everything from the technical aspects of SEO to improving the readability of a page using this handy plugin.

I have been using Yoast SEO for the last several years and there was no looking back since then.

5. MonsterInsights

To put it simply, MonsterInsights is a dead-simple Google Analytics plugin for WordPress—that allows you to view your GA data directly within your WordPress dashboard.

Moreover, MonsterInsights allows you to easily connect your WordPress blog with your Google Analytics account (without hiring a developer or requiring no tech knowledge).

With the click of just a few buttons in MonsterInsights, you can set up relatively sophisticated event tracking, eCommerce tracking, form submissions, and more features that’ll help you better understand your blog readers as you grow.

6. OptinMonster

As any new blogger will know, building an email list is essential to eventually learning how to make money blogging.

OptinMonster is an effective tool for capturing the email addresses of your readers. You can set up OptinMonster on any page of your blog (they have an incredibly easy-to-use WordPress plugin too).

Their tools give you the ability to even A/B test different messages to learn the most effective ways to incentivize your readers to join your list or even complete a purchase.

Not to mention the fact that with their opt-ins you can design pages to perfectly match your blog layout aesthetically.
