5 Must Have Blogging Tools Every Blogger Needs

Here are some of my favourite apps that I use every day to help me manage my blog.

Squarespace

I’ve recently made mention that I migrated from WordPress to Squarespace as my content management tool and WOWZA have I been missing out. Squarespace is easy to use, secure and doesn’t require any updates! After just a few weeks of using Squarespace, It has already proven to be one of the best choices I made.

It allows you to focus on creating content, rather than spending most of your time updating plugins!

Flodesk

Every blogger should invest the time in starting an email list. Not only do you have another way of communicating to your audience. Social Media algorithms are constantly changing and your audience is not always seeing all your content, this is where having an email list you can directly have access to can increase your engagement. 

Flodesk is by far my favourite email marketing platform, it allows you to set up workflows and landing pages. It’s an intuitive platform not to mention it’s a designer’s dream! Flodesk has many done for you templates so you can create captivating emails in no time.

Airtable

I’ve used every project management tool under the sun. Airtable is my latest obsession and oh man I’m loving it! Airtable makes it easy for you to log your content ideas, keep track of each task and schedule your content. Airtable also makes use of handy automation to help you save time! Airtable is what you’d get when ClickUp and Google Sheets had a baby! It’s the best of both and has been extremely helpful without me feeling overwhelmed with another project tool I need to maintain.

Canva

What kind of blogging tool must have listed would it be without one my of favourites! Canva is an incredible tool that makes non-designers create attention-grabbing designs to share on social media platforms, create email freebies, media kits and so much more. Canva is also always releasing brand more features to help you be the best creator you can be! Theblogsocial.com has plenty of helpful tips and tricks if you’re not too familiar with the platform.

Plann Instagram Scheduler

Next up is my favourite Instagram scheduling tool! Having a scheduling app like Plann allows you to batch create your content and gives you more time to spend focusing on other parts of running a successful blog. You might be thinking what makes Plann different to all the other scheduling tools? Plann is all about community and listening to what its users want! The app is intuitive and easy to use.

There are so many things I love about Plann like their media library, built-in caption ideas and planning reels.
