6 Tool Types every Freelancer Blogger or Writer
should try

• Blogging, content writing or even articles its
  all about writing engaging, relevant and
  interesting text. Many freelancers have made that
  into their main income source, including me. It
  is viable, but it can be difficult at times.
  There is so much content out there that writing
  an original, value-adding article is just as hard
  as it sounds.
• Thankfully, a lot of tools can help you along the
  way. Creating a platform, understanding your
  audience and visualizing your articles are all
  aspects of being a writing freelancer. Here are
  some of our favorite tools, divided in six
  categories

1) Blog creation

• First off, you need something to create your blog
  with. There are tons of free tools out there, but
  none is as popular and as versatile as WordPress.
  According to W3Techs, WordPress account for
  almost 25 of all sites on the Internet. Thats a
  ton and theres a reason for it. With over 40,000
  plugins, many of them free, WordPress gives you a
  lot of freedom for designing your blog. And its
  not just design either. Loading speeds, security,
  SEO and much more can be improved with WordPress
  plugins.

2) Analytics

• Google Analytics is THE tool to use for
  understanding your audience. It can help you
  analyze and utilize a ton of information. When do
  your users tend to visit your site, where do they
  browse from, how did they get to your page? These
  and many more questions and their answers are
  essential to creating your business strategy.

3) Image Libraries

• Yes, you need images as a writer. Just look at a
  newspaper nowadays almost half of the front
  page is usually covered by a photograph or other
  visual elements. Pictures draw attention and tell
  a story of their own. Think of pictures as your
  visual headlines. You can get free (and
  stunning!) images at sites like Unsplash Pixabay
  or Flickr.

4) Infographics

• Speaking about visuals, infographics have the
  ability to relay a ton of information,
  concentrating the main points of your article
  into a single image. Piktochart and Easel.ly are
  both really great tools for creating
  infographics. More importantly they dont cost
  a cent. Piktochart is where you want to go if you
  have no experience with creating infographics or
  design. Its tips and tutorials are on spot.
  Easel.ly is for the experienced image creators
  among you. With this tool, you can show a lot of
  creativity without preset templates.

5) Text checkers

• You probably have a simple text checking tool
  like Microsoft Word already. And thats important
  nobody wants to fix all your punctuation and
  typos. But things like the Hemingway App help you
  go the extra mile. It highlights overly complex
  sentences and marks those annoying passive voice
  phrases. In short, it makes your text better to
  read. Go ahead, try it out!

6) Books and articles

• The most important and traditional tool for
  writers is, and remains, reading. Even in the
  Internet age. Be curious, ask questions and seek
  explanations. No matter what type of content
  youre creating, learning and knowing more is the
  main prerequisite for a good piece. Happy
  writing!
