The best 20 Copywriting tools to improve your Workflow x10

(Recommended for both beginners and newbies in writing.)

Tools make your workflow better and faster.

Caveat:?

These tools help your workflow and should not limit your creativity in any way. Avoid over-dependence on any of these tools.

Always strike a balance between using tools and manual methods.

Below is a breakdown of these tools and their functions.?

(I break down these tools into seven different sections.)

I. Readability and Grammar Checker Tools:

Readability and grammar checker tools improve the readability, consistency, and clarity of your writing.?

They include:

1. Hemingway:

Hemingway helps to aid readability and clarity.

Your FK (readability) score on the app should not be higher than 7.?

Aim for a score of 5 for articles.

• You can reduce your readability score by breaking your writing into shorter sentences.
• Use bullet points to enhance readability.
• Limit your paragraphs to a minimum of two to three sentences.

I suggest Hemingway above Grammarly for writers who work on articles regularly. It picks up errors that Grammarly may omit.

Hemingway is also more detailed in fine-tuning your adverbs and prepositions.

2. Grammarly:

Grammarly works best to provide clarity to your writing.?

• It helps remove repetition and fluff.?
• It also corrects spelling and punctuation.?
• It also checks the readability of your writing.

3. Pro Writing Aid:

An editing tool for bloggers, novelists, fiction writers, etc.?

• It corrects grammar and spelling errors.?

It also improves your writing style and structure.?

Other tools include:

15. Keyword everywhere (keywords everywhere)

Keywords everywhere give you additional information under each search result.
