Creating interesting, viral and informative content is a lot harder than it might appear at first,<\/p>\n
and if you want to be able to do it, you\u2019re going to have to dig deep. In order to become a<\/p>\n
content creation guru, you need to master a wide variety of skills and tools. No, you don\u2019t need<\/p>\n
to wield a hammer or a power drill, but simply to get a hang of a handful of online tools that<\/p>\n
will not only help you create the best possible content, but also attract readers and create a<\/p>\n
loyal following.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The creation of content can roughly be broken down into three basic segments:<\/p>\n
research, writing, and the creation of visual content. If you are not well-versed in all three,<\/p>\n
don\u2019t worry, because mastering the tools necessary to create it is entirely possible. Here is a<\/p>\n
comprehensive list of all the online tools you need to use in order to create brilliant content.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Before you commence writing content, you have to find what it is that people want, what they<\/p>\n
are interested in, what sort of content they seek out constantly. Instead of combing the entire<\/p>\n
World Wide Web, you can rely on these three tools to help you with your research:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Consulting Google is always a good idea, especially if you are researching trending<\/p>\n
topics. On Google Trends you will find which topics are the most researched over a<\/p>\n
certain time period, and in certain languages or locations. It is an extremely powerful<\/p>\n
tool, and it\u2019s completely free. It\u2019s not overly complicated to use either, so we suggest<\/p>\n
you check it out today.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Another useful tool that will let you know what other people are talking about is<\/p>\n
Buzzsumo. What Buzzsumo does is search across various social media sites and<\/p>\n
platforms, collecting the stuff that is viral and most popular among content consumers.<\/p>\n
It allows you to set up alerts to certain keyword if they pop up on the web. Buzzsumo<\/p>\n
also offers you an insight into the popularity and influence of just about anyone. If you<\/p>\n
want to know who has the readers staring at their screens, waiting for their next post,<\/p>\n
then Buzzsumo is good place to be.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nowadays, regardless of the type of content you create and deliver, it is absolutely<\/p>\n
necessary to be present on Twitter. One analytics tool that specializes in Twitter<\/p>\n
analytics is Topsy. Here you will have access to a massive index containing billion of<\/p>\n
tweets. That is pretty impressive, even if you consider Topsy\u2019s partnership with Twitter.<\/p>\n
Can you imagine better source of information on what\u2019s hot and trending on Twitter?<\/p>\n
We can\u2019t.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After you\u2019ve done your research, it is time to start writing, and these are the tools you need:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Coming up with different blog topics can be a real pain, so to help you avoid the<\/p>\n
frustration, Hubspot will create topics for you, based on the terms you enter and which<\/p>\n
you would like to write about. Using its advanced algorithms, it will generate a week\u2019s<\/p>\n
worth of blog titles and topics for you to write about. Pretty awesome, right?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
No matter how much you enjoy writing the content yourself and infusing it with your<\/p>\n
own personal touch, you are not going to be able to do it yourself all the time. We<\/p>\n
suggest you rely on this website, as it is able to connect you with a quality writer in a<\/p>\n
matter of minutes that will assist you with editing, writing or proofreading.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The website hosts a useful tool that will calculate the readability of your article or blog<\/p>\n
post, with the help magic internet pixies. All joking aside, if you want your content to be<\/p>\n
amazing, it needs to read well, and this online tool will help you get there.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The best way to get rid of unwanted stuff, such as duplicate content, broken links and so<\/p>\n
on, is to check the following website. Why is duplicate content such a nightmare?<\/p>\n
Because Google will give the website hosting the duplicate content a lower rating, which<\/p>\n
means your website will have a much harder time finding its way to readers, and you<\/p>\n
don\u2019t want that.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Last, but not least, you are going to need some visual content as well. We recommend these<\/p>\n
tools:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Canva is a simple and effective online tool that will help you create your own visual<\/p>\n
content, even if you\u2019re not a designer. If you still don\u2019t feel comfortable doing it, you can<\/p>\n
choose from their massive database of graphic designs for a very low price.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Infographics have taken the online world by storm in the past few years, and it looks like<\/p>\n
a trend that won\u2019t stop any time soon, which is why you need to check out this website,<\/p>\n
which has tons of eye-catching infographics.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Wevideo is a collaborative video editing tool which also allows you to perform audio editing,<\/p>\n
mind-mapping, comic book creation and lots of other cool stuff. In addition to inforgraphics,<\/p>\n
video content is an absolute must.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And there you have it, a short, but sweet list of online tools that will assist in creating high-<\/p>\n
quality, eye-popping content which your readers will simply eat up. The rest is up to you.<\/p>\n
