I am always looking for things that will make what I have to do on a day to day basis easier, and more effective. Starting out a new blog means that you need to update the content on a very regular, consistent basis to bring the readers.
The problem is, who has that kind of time? I really don’t like having to sit down every morning and pound out a blog post for the day, and besides, some days I’m just not all that creative. You know what I mean… some days it’s hard to form sentences… let alone brilliant copy that will be used to increase traffic to your blog, or promote a new affiliate product that you just love!
Here are 3 tools that I use, that will make your daily posting job easier.
- The Time Stamping Feature in WordPress – If you’re like me, it’s nice to be able to write more than one post at a time. This feature allows you to do just that. It will allow you to date articles that you’ve written and posted, to be published to your blog at a future time.
- The Headline Analyzer by Advanced Marketing allows you to see if your headline will attract readers. It’s a great tool (Warning: Don’t get too hung up on it, or this great tool will turn into a great time sucker). I don’t use this for every post, but if I’m stuck on how to start, or the words to use – I will plug it into the analyzer.
…and see what comes out. I used this headline as an example.
- After the Deadline is a new plugin I just found today on my friend Alex’s blog Howto Spotter. He always provides such cool stuff. This is a proof reading tool that will help to correct grammar and pick up some of the mistakes you may miss. It however, could never replace a set of human eyes.
Use it as the tool it was intended for.
Hope these help…
