Running a successful blog was once considered a big deal.
People would spend months searching for the right niche and then a few more months creating a good SEO strategy that can help them create a blog. In most cases, the strategy and keyword research would take a long time, followed by overall optimization, along with user experience, and the list goes on.
The good news is, things have changed.
Now, all thanks to technology, you can easily start your blog, optimize it, create content, and enhance user experience without wasting a lot of time.
To give you a context, I started my blog just three months ago. But I haven’t written a single blog on my own, and I don’t have a team. I am relying mainly on AI and tech tools for everything, and now the blog has decent traffic, and I get some sponsor ad deals here and there.
So, what kind of tools am I using?
If you are curious, then keep reading. This write-up will cover some of the important tech tools that every blogger must know about, or at least try.
Writesonic
Starting our list with one of my favorite AI tools. This tool can single-handedly replace any other AI tool in the market. The best thing is that you can start with the free version, and if you like it, you can upgrade.
This tool mainly consists of 80+ AI-based writing and content creation tools. With just a single prompt, you can easily generate the kind of content you need. Since this tool is mainly designed to support content creators, you can write blogs, articles, product descriptions, ad copies, web copies, and other options.
Moreover, you can translate your content into other languages so bilingual readers can also benefit from your work. This feature is especially important for US-based content creators, as the US population consists of 20% Hispanics.
You can guess the importance of the Hispanic audience by the way they are treated by businesses in the US. For instance, Optimum is an established internet brand offering its service in the US. The brand has dedicated Opimum en Español for their Hispanic customers so they can seek guidance as well.
ChatGPT
Adding the OG to the list, ChatGPT is still one of the best tools to consider for blogging.
Now I know most people will instantly think that AI content will not rank, and your work will go to waste. However, in reality, ChatGPT is an ideal option for research. From creating and listing the best topics based on the interests of your readers to evaluating the content on competitive websites, this tool can save you a lot of time.
Some people even recommend using AI for creating blogs as well. However, it is better to just get a basic overview or create some highlights that you can expand later. The best thing is that ChatGPT does not limit your blogs to just one niche or topic, as it can offer details on every topic.
Canva
You want to start a blog or create content without adding media. Big mistake.
As a blogger, I realized that a blog with media will bring better engagement and have a lower bounce rate. Most readers, when they land on the page, get intrigued by the media, videos, images, and GIFs, so they spend more time rather than bouncing to other sites.
Canva is an incredible design tool that is ideal for beginners.
This tool can help users create media, i.e., images, videos, gifs, and posters. Moreover, Canva also has an AI feature so you can create images with the help of a single prompt.
AI Summarizer
Adding a summary after every heading is a great way to boost the value of your content. In terms of blogging, when a complex post is covered, it is preferred that a writer should simply explain each concept by the end of the heading.
This eventually helps the user to skim through the content more easily, boosting the overall engagement and reducing the bounce rate. However, summarizing each concept and heading is nearly impossible.
This is where you can use an AI summarizer. This AI-powered toolkit is ideal for summarizing content into concise and smaller paragraphs. Moreover, you can also use this tool for paraphrasing and refining your content so the reader can understand it easily.
Hemingway App
If you are a blogger or have written content before, you must be familiar with the Hemingway app. This app mainly helps in optimizing the content for the reader.
If English is your second language or you do not know how to improve the readability of your content, this is an ideal tool for you. By pasting your content in this tool, you will be able to skim through the content and spot issues that are making your content complex as well as challenging for the reader.
The paid version of this tool also comes with AI features so you can further refine your content and enhance its readability.
Simply put, blogging can be hectic and time-consuming if you’re doing everything manually.
However, if you are utilizing the tools, it can get easier. The above-mentioned tools are some of the best when it comes to assisting in your blogging journey.
