Looking for blogging content and sitting to organise and deliver to your readers is enough hard work. Producing the perfect blog without the little silly mistakes is even harder. And then there is the website traffic and Google ranking problem that you also should worry about. That’s a little too much for your favourite free time hobby. But what if you knew of tools that could help you with all that?

Easily one of the most useful grammar checking tools for bloggers. Avoid those spelling mistakes you wouldn’t normally see unless you are looking too hard.

Grammarly is easy to install and use. All you need is an add-on install for your chrome browser and the app will feature in all your input areas.

A premium version of Grammarly helps you check on plagiarism while helping you enhance your vocabulary.

Yoast assists you to cover the SEO basics and make sure your post is well optimized. It is extremely easy to use, all you need is follow instructions and you will be good to go.

BuzzSumo can also help you monitor blog mentions in real-time as they happen. A very useful tool to simplify your content marketing strategy.

Templates are in millions here and though not all are free, you only need to pay as little as a dollar to remove some watermarks on some templates.

Additionally, you can as well create a custom banner for your blog post. Canva takes your image and infographics to another level.

This piece wouldn’t be complete without Sumo. Sumo is a wonderful tool that could help with your marketing.

Studies prove that quotes and images are the most shared on Twitter or anywhere. And some of your blog readers would want to share some of the information or images they find on your blog. With sumo, they can do this easily courtesy of the Sumo image sharer. The Sumo highlighter, on the other hand, makes it easy, sharing blog snippets they like for tweeting.

There are additional 10 tools in the Sumo pack, another reason Sumo is a must-have.

As you progress in your blogging, you realize that you have a bunch of old blogs lying lifeless that you may need to rejuvenate.

The tool reduces the time spent trying to remember old posts. Also, if you don’t like feeding your social feeds constantly, this is the tool for you.
