When I started blogging, I was totally unaware of how many great free resources were available. Over the past few years, I’ve gradually built a bookmarks folder filled with amazing blogging tools. In this article, I want to share with you the five that I use most often.

If you’ve been blogging for years, you might have already heard of most of these, but if you’re new to blogging, I think that this list is really going to help you out. It’s exactly what I wish I had from day one.

Lastly, I want to emphasize that I don’t have any kind of affiliate connection with any of these websites. I’m recommending them because I truly find them helpful.

Grammarly

Grammarly is a freemium program that checks your articles for proper spelling and grammar. It’s basically like having a personal proofreader, but without having to pay a dime.

No matter how good you are at proofreading, almost everyone lets one or two mistakes slip through. Grammarly catches them.

The paid version also includes stylistic suggestions and a plagiarism checker. I used to have the paid version, but these days, I think that the free version does more than enough.
