10 Best Productivity Tools for Every Smart Business Blogger

Modern businesses are simply businesses that are able to survive in a modern marketplace where most consumers are in some form of debt.

Popular businesses are either long-standing companies that have been around for decades, or are in the entertainment industry.

Smart businesses are ones that are able to do more with less, and that is where productivity tools come into play. In this article, we cover the idea of business blogging because it is a universal tool that almost all businesses will find useful in one way or another.

Business Blogging For Your Business

The Australian Writings company was originally founded to help students with their homework, but their writing services expanded to business blogging several years ago to cope with the demand for business blog posts. Business or sponsored posts are more popular than ever, which means they must be drawing positive attention to businesses in a big way.

Here are a few great examples:

The small business blog is a self-funded blog that pays it writers with the money they make from advertising. You have to admire just how many articles this company has put online over the years.

This company is in the business of teaching people coding. Their blog and online posts have become so popular that they are now fully funded by donations from learners–they don’t even charge for lessons or posts anymore.

The company was originally founded to help people find finance, but it has now expanded to the point where the company makes more money from its blog than it does from matching users with finance deals. Their pieces on wealth building are especially popular.

None of these blogs would exist if their writers were unproductive, lazy, or if they were quitters. Each of the blogs has achieved with most others cannot, which is that they each earn money and make a profit. Here are ten tools you may use to help make you a more productive business blogger. They are not in any particularly order; each is as useful as you make it.

Mac users have WriteRoom and Windows users have ZenWriter. It allows you to write on your PC or laptop without the distraction of notification, apps, or other things on the screen.

5 – E.ggTimer.com

If you have never tried working to a timer, then you need to seriously consider it. You will be surprised how quickly you can work with the help of a timer as an incentive. It actually makes you a little uncomfortable, which is one of god’s most powerful productivity incentives (with the exception of hunger, which is often more of an incentive). Consider giving this tool a try and working to a timer. E.ggTimer is free, and if you want to download and use timers, then try the downloadable versions of the famous online-stopwatch clocks.

6 – Teux Deux

https://teuxdeux.com/

Price – $3 per month

It is a to-do list app that beats out “Remember The Milk,” by a very wide margin. It puts your tasks in a format that resembles a calendar. Instead of having long to-do lists or lists hidden behind day/time tabs, it puts them all in one place. Oddly enough, if you enjoy RPG games, you may like the way that this app is laid out. Take a look at a few screenshots before you decide to invest in a subscription to this app.

7 – Paper Rater

If you are a fan of the Hemmingway App, then you are being conned because it simplifies text to the point where it is only suitable for children.

It beats any and all other spelling and grammar checkers and rating systems.

8 – Pocket

Price – Free, or $4.99 per month

Some writers will get nothing out of this tool because they write plans for each article. If you do not write a plan, and you simply skim from one resource to another while picking up what you need, then the Pocket book marking tool will allow you to do your research in advance and store it in a way that allows you to call up each resource on command and in order.

9 – Pablo
