Hi Harsh, this is epic mate. Great job putting this list together. I would also like to add Thrive Landing Pages to your landing pages list, I know it’s part of the TCB plugin but it’s awesome and I’ve had much success with it. I’ve definitely found a few other useful tools to check out so thanks again.

  What a coincidence as I’m currently playing with Thrive landing pages. Currently I use Leadpages for creating landing page & I might add Thrive one if it’s really as simple as they claim it to be. 🙂

Hi Harsh,

Thank you for compiling a comprehensive list for blogging tool.

I am actually looking for a keyword difficulty tool to check how competitive a keyword is.

Do you know a good tool for that?

I know Moz has it but it’s pretty expensive and its bulk check function isn’t very robust.

Any input is appreciated.

Canva has been such a life saver so far. Goggle Analytics, Feedly, Buffer (life saver) and Buzz Sumo. Phew! There’s so much to know and we have to keep learning and adding the right platforms that work for our individual blogs/websites.

Thanks again for this awesome post. I appreciate it.

Thanks!
