(Newswire.net — May 5, 2018) — Running a blog can be a tedious task. Deciding what topics to write on, carrying out the necessary research and then putting together a post that’ll attract people and get them to read it and share with others can take a lot of time and energy.
Even though the first and most important thing to do is to simply write well, so many other things come into play that could determine the success of any one post or the blog as a whole. The good thing is that there are many tools on the internet designed to help bloggers just like yourself, and here are a few of them you should definitely check out:
1. Canva
What of you could produce graphics so attractive that they look like they were made by a professional, in about than 20 minutes or so? With Canva, you can do just that by modifying any of their many templates and getting your own unique combination of the various elements they have available.
2. Quora
If you’re ever stuck looking for topics to write on, try checking Quora. It’s the largest question and answer site, and that means it’s a great place to see what people in your niche are asking about, and also to get a variety of views from the answers. You can follow topics that interest you, and you can also search for specific keywords when you need material for a post.

4. Grammarly

Apart from making your posts difficult to follow, it’ll give your readers the strong impression that you do not take your blog as seriously as you ought to, or you would have checked for errors more thoroughly. And if you don’t take your blog seriously, why should anyone else?
5. Yoast
