When it comes to blogging, you may sometimes find yourself staring into a blank screen lost for words. Also, known as writer’s block.
But don’t fret because I have 10 blog writing tools that might just do the trick for not only helping you to overcome your obstacles but also for transforming you into a Rockstar writer and crushing it as a web-based business owner.
Whether you wanna start a brand new blog and need assistance with writing content for providing value and turning your words into an income or your blog is already live and you can’t get your into gear – there are certainly some tools on this page to help you level up your writing skills and become a digitalized Superhero. 😉
In fact, these tools will also be beneficial to Press Release publishers and Copywriters, etc. Any type of online content writer can take advantage of the following tools…
Table of Contents
#1 – Daily Page
Daily Page helps you to create a daily writing routine using writing prompts.
For under $4 per month, you will receive a brand new prompt every morning that gives you the whole day to write a response using a clean space free from distractions. Your email responses can be shared or kept private.
If you can write social media status updates, reply to comments, inbox, and even text message your buds, there’s no excuse for not being able to put Daily Page into practice.
#2 – 750 Words
750 Words is a brain-dumping exercise designed to help you to just let it all out and write down exactly what’s on your mind. It’s all about creating a habit of Writing. Each. Day.
You get a 30-day free trial, then it’s only $5 per month.
The best thing about the site is that your writing exercises are kept private between you, and you only.
There’s no blogging, commenting and social media sharing involved, etc. You’re as free as a bird and without the burden of the online world on your shoulders.

Twords is an app for nudging you to write.
This cool tool allows you to track your writing progress through daily graphs, learn practice styles and techniques using prompts (similar to Daily Page), and request community support for helping you to reach your writing goals.

#4 – Swipe File
This isn’t necessarily a tool or an app, but is something you can create for yourself for inspiration. A swipe file is your personal folder to keep stolen scraps lol.
You have 2 options available:
1: You can create an offline swipe file using cuttings from newspapers, magazines, and fliers, etc. 2: An online file created on your computer, laptop or tablet using folders and apps for storing your screenshots, etc.

This clever tool is actually called ‘Hubspot’s Blog Topic Generator‘, and what it does is generate content ideas from just 3 different Nouns you insert into the software.

If you enter your details into the software, you will also receive a year’s worth of ideas.

OK, oTranscribe may seem like a weird tool, but if you’re writing a piece of content that includes a recorded interview, oTranscribe will make the process simple, quick, and easy for your blog.
It’s a free web app that’s currently in BETA.

Twinword Writer is a WordPress blog plugin that’s designed to give you a bunch of ideas to use when you’re stuck on a word.

(I’d like to Thank Chris Luck ‘founder of Marketers Paradise‘ for 9 of the ideas in this article).
Please drop a comment below if you have any questions or feedback on the struggles you face when it comes writing content on your blog. We’d LOVE to hear your thoughts…
I like your article about the different ways to blog, it’s quite interesting. However, I feel that using article writing tools or software isn’t all that reliable, sometimes you need to fix the mistakes that it makes than proofreading it.
I think it’s more worthy to write the article when your fresh and try your best to follow through on your ideas as you’re typing.
Thank You very muchly! 🙂
I wouldn’t say that writing tools aren’t reliable because there are some extremely good ones for motivating bloggers to become great content writers. Tools are there to help both people who are struggling with their content and those who need extra inspiration. There’s a tool for every blogger.
When it comes to fixing mistakes, it’s a good job we’ve got Grammarly (our knight in shining armor, which is another awesome tool I forgot to add to the list) lol.
However, I do agree that it’s ideal to write content when it’s fresh in your head. When you’ve got ideas flowing, you’ll be surprised how quickly you can write a blog post.
Hi Neil,
I’ve been looking for tools that can help me enhance my writing skills. I am on my journey to become a skillful blogger.
After reading your blog, I’ve found a lot of reliable tools. But out of these tools, which is the one that you find most helpful, especially for grammar checking and vocabulary?
Thank you.
Hiya, Mila! 🙂
Good for you! There are definitely a lot of tools out there for helping you to become skilled at blogging. You just need to pick the right ones.
That’s a tough question, considering I love ALL the tools. If you have a WordPress blog, I would say Twinword Writer is an excellent resource to use for your vocabulary.
However, there is one tool I forgot to mention and is the best I’ve ever used when it comes to spell checking, and that’s ‘Grammarly’. The tool is a godsend and I’d be lost as a blogger without it.
It cleans the floor with any spell checker out there, in my opinion.
You really composed a nice list of writing tools that will help anyone. I remember when I first began to write blogs it was so difficult to even write 500 words but now I can crank out 2000 word articles rather easy. This was only possible because of practice. I wish I knew of these tools 3 years back, It would have made writing a whole lot easier for me at least.
Thanks, Yunier! 🙂
I want to help my blog readers as much as possible with building their own blogs. I know exactly where you’re coming from because it can be tough to start out as a blogger and get that momentum going.
Good for you, man! The more you practice writing, the more progress you make and get better at writing with each post you publish. Although some of these writing tools weren’t available to you as a newbie, what really counts is that they’re available today for both beginners to experts.
Yeah, the tools would have made your life a lot easier 3 years ago, but you still pushed through regardless, and no doubt you’re a big success now.
Nice article Neil! Writing Tools are a writer’s best friend after his creativity. The list has certainly provided some of the finest tools available in the market and I know those good things come with a price tag, but please try to increase the number of free tools in your list if possible.
Thanks very much, Megan! 🙂
YUP, I sure agree that writing tools and creativity certainly go hand-in-hand when it comes to blogging. Glad to hear you’ve found value in the list of resources I’ve shared.
High-quality tools will always come with price tags, but isn’t the price worth it for your success at the end of the day? Besides, when you invest in the tools and apply them to your online business, they pay for themselves.
If I increased the number of tools in this post, then it wouldn’t be called “10 writing tools” 😛 lol. But if you look at some of the cheaper tools here, they are affordable for bloggers.
