I am Praphulla Kumar- a professional content writer based in Delhi (India) with 9 years of experience in content writing, editing, proofreading, and marketing. I started my content writing journey accidentally back in 2011 in Delhi with a small firm. Since then, I am in this field. I worked a lot to gain fair command over content writing & marketing.
All professional content writers unanimously agree that content writing is no longer an easy task. It demands 100% dedication from the professionals involved in this task. One needs to conduct a lot of research and analysis work to come up with a great piece of content that is capable of influencing the reader’s mind and preparing him/her for taking certain actions.
These days, SEO professionals constantly demand the uninterrupted supply of fresh, unique, SEO-friendly, and easy-to-understand content. They need freshly prepared advertising materials to promote a brand on the web and meet its ambitious objectives. Normally, an experienced content writer is expected to write a minimum of 3000 words or more per day with absolute perfection. To achieve such an ambitious target, reduce the number of manual endeavours in content writing and significantly boost his/her contribution to the employer, every content writer must familiarize himself/herself with the best content writing tools that are detailed here below:
- Google Docs/MS Word Online/Yandex Disk
Objective: For writing content easily & comfortably
While a large number of content writers still use the offline version of MS Word, Ubuntu and other similar tools to write content on a PC or laptop. But these days, it is unwise to use offline MS Word to write content. Your content is saved on the system and you need to use that particular computer or laptop if you intend to use the written content. Furthermore, you need to spend extra time on content editing and proofreading. If a particular system breaks down all of a sudden due to one or more reasons, chances are higher that you lose access to saved files on it.
Just use Google Docs, MS Word Online or Yandex Disk for content writing, editing and proofreading. These 3 are the cloud-based drive platforms for content writing and marketing experts. You can use them to create content easily, proofread them in real-time, eliminate complex grammatical errors from your write-up & increase the overall content quality quickly. Just save files on these platforms and access them at any time and from any location. It also helps to maintain the privacy of content & prevents its unauthorized use or stealing. Nobody can use the created content until & unless a file is shared.
Objective- For Keyword research & analysis
These days, content writers are expected to be familiar with different SEO terms so that they can come up with SEO-ready content every time. Frankly speaking, keyword research & analysis is a time-consuming task if you do it manually. On the other hand, busy & senior-level digital marketing experts may not help you every time in this regard. So, this tool is a helping hand for all professional content developers. To search suitable & trendy keywords, just type search terms in the tool's search box. Soon, it will suggest a lot of keywords. It's a real pal for all novice content writers as well.
Objective- To check grammatical mistakes
It is often said that no one is perfect except the god. These days, Content writers work under tremendous pressure to come up with high-quality content in bulk every day. So, they write content speedily and naturally make silly grammatical mistakes. Writing error-free content has now become the call of the modern-day Internet marketing. Busy SEO professionals will not review your content every time for grammatical errors & send it back to you for further editing & proofreading.
If your content is full of grammatical errors, it dilutes your prestige as a content writer in the eyes of your seniors or anyone who reads it. To avoid criticism & awkward situations, use Grammarly. It will help to eliminate different grammatical mistakes from the written content & make it more interesting. If you use Google docs for content writing, just add Grammarly’s extension to Google Chrome and activate it. It will automatically track errors in your write-up & offer suggestions to fix them. Grammarly is available in Free & Premium versions. The free version helps to track & eliminate basic grammatical errors. Premium subscription enables you to trace advanced errors & make your content more authentic.
Objective- To see content's uniqueness
Despite Google's attempt to crackdown low-quality content on its platform, still, Plagiarism is rampant. Even today, many content writers do the copy-paste job to meet their daily targets. Generally, small & medium scale companies don't want to burn their hard-earned money on buying premium Copyscape tools. They rely on free plagiarism detection resources for this work.
Content watch.ru is a nice plagiarism detection tool. Originally, it is available in the Russian language. But you can use it to see the uniqueness of English language contents. It will show all possible references and resources from where your content writer has copied the content, twisted words & written a new low-quality content.
If your content scores a minimum 60 points in this plagiarism checking tool, consider it a selling material. If not, you need to write it again. With this free tool, you can examine the uniqueness of advertising materials maximum up to 7 times through one IP address. After that, it blocks your request for a content uniqueness check. Don't worry, just use a VPN to relocate to a sham IP address & start using the tool once again.
Objective: To write content speedily
Expectations from content writers continue to skyrocket with each passing day. SEO professionals, team leaders & company owners always expect you to write more content in bulk & sit for extra times whenever necessary. Even if your typing speed is awesome, writing 3000 words or more per day is a burdensome task for even the most experienced & professional content writers. It will eat up your peace of mind little by little as it is difficult to create unique content every time on the same topic.
Google voice typing tool is a boon for all content writers. With its help, you can quickly write content & easily meet 3000 words every day even before the work shift comes to an end. You just need to have thoughts in mind & speak clearly using Google Voice Tying tool. Your voice is immediately converted into text on Google docs. With its help, you can write content in bulk.
The problem with this method is that if you don't pronounce words clearly, there will be lots of bizarre & mind-blowing mistakes in the content. You need to read the content carefully to eliminate blunders & make it ready to be used by SEO professionals. I have been using Google Voice Typing tool for content writing in recent times. It has increased my productivity up to a great extent.
Objective: To evaluate the content readability
Use it or other similar tools to improve the overall readability of the content you write. Today's Internet-savvy audience is quite choosy & demanding. They love to visit websites loaded with easy-to-understand content. They will not open a dictionary at first to understand the meaning of difficult words used in the content & then read it. So, content writers must write unique & appealing content in simple language right from the beginning. Using this tool, you can easily determine the overall readability of the content & make necessary corrections as suggested by it.
