Blogging is a lucrative pastime for many, and these days it’s essential that bloggers keep their fingers on the pulse while they’re on the go. These apps will help you to blog often and well, from anywhere in the world. Get your voice heard!
Use Blogsy
Blogsy is an app created to make blogging easier on your iPad. While it’s not free, it can be extremely helpful if you’re dedicated to blogging, as it effectively takes the place of your current blogging platform’s back end. You can format text using a simple toolbar and easily drag and drop images and videos into your media libraries. The interface is straightforward and stylish, and it works well with WordPress, Tumblr, Joomla, Flickr, YouTube, Facebook, and most other blogging and social media platforms.
Don’t Type, Talk
Dragon Dictation lets you talk to your iPad and convert your speech into text! It’s great if you have a lot to express but not much time, or if you just don’t feel like typing. It’s easy to use, and once you’ve spoken your blog post, all you need to do is copy and paste the text.
You don’t have to be a seasoned blogger for this one. Most people already know that Instagram is one of the most powerful photo blogging tools around. It is extremely popular, and allows you to share artistic, high-quality images with a large online community. Photographers, you need this app.
Organize Your Life
Bloggers need to be self-aware, smart and organized, and nothing helps more than Workflowy. This app is for creative thinkers who like to create more complex, multi-layered to-do lists. This app is great for planning projects or brainstorming. You can create tasks and sub-tasks, and everything you do is archived so you can always look back over what you’ve blogged about or researched.
Connect With Your Audience
Ask for their opinions using PollDaddy. This app allows you to create surveys and polls for fat feedback. It’s easy to use, and the surveys you create are easy to customize and analyse. It is compatible with iPhones and iPads.
Sprout Social
Bloggers will love this. The Sprout Social app clearly displays social media activities, and lets you manage your output, as well as analysing your audience. From a single dashboard, you get an overview of all the analytics and data you will ever need – never be confused about your blog stats again.
There you go, bloggers; share and enjoy. And remember to ask your audience questions, be unique, and make people laugh – those are the best ways to get traffic. Never let your blog be dull!
