The marketing world is always changing. So making sure you have the right tools to set you up for success in the very beginning is key. Whether you have owned a blog for years and are just looking for some helpful tips to stay up to date, or you are a new blogger and need some guidance, you are in the right place.
Listed below is a list of tools that are essential to make sure your blogger career goes as smoothly as possible. These are also tools that I used when I started my blogging journey and still use to this day!
Content Planning and Organization
Having a plan of what you want to create and post helps keep everything organized from the beginning. From brand deals, regular content, etc. Having a plan for it all will save you so much time and money! I personally like to use Notion and Canva Content Planner to help keep me organized.
Keyword and SEO Research Tools
Understanding all things SEO from the beginning of your career will help your blog get the traffic it deserves. I would recommend seeing what is trending before you post your article and see if there are any low competition keywords you can add in.
Graphic Design and Branding Tools
Create your branding kit from the very beginning! I feel like I sound like a broken record when saying this but trust me. Having a well planned branding kit will help you create your graphics and posts in no time!
Email Marketing Platforms
A loyal email list is more valuable than any algorithm. With email marketing tools, you can grow your list, set up automations, and deliver newsletters or free downloads. These platforms let you create sequences, track open rates, and maintain relationships with readers long after they’ve left your blog.
Analytics and Performance Trackers
Having a system in place to track your analytics and performance will help show you what is working and what may not be working as well. Google analytics is a helpful plugin you can add to your blog for this!
Launch your blog with confidence and have a plan in place of all the tools you want to use to ensure your blog is set up for success. As always, I am here if you have any questions!
