Blogging tools are the basic essence of a blogging career. You need to own these like weapon to fight in the online space. People will recommend hell lot of tools but only few of them would be essential for you. Even I wrote in one of my blog about 150 digital marketing tools. But the question is, do we need them all?

The Big and loud answer is “NO”. You don’t need to own them all.

So in this block of content I am going to explain why the above recommended blogging tools by me is advantageous for me as well as for anyone.

When you star a blogging career, you need to own your self hosted blog, so you need the following categories of tools.

1. Web hosting tools.
2. SEO Tools.
3. Email Marketing Tools and finally
4. A beautiful theme for your blog.

These are the four pillars of blogging tools. If you own one tool under all these 4 pillars then it is assured that you can skyrocket your dream of influential blogger.

Let’s understand these blogging tools one by one.

1. Best Web Hosting Provider for Bloggers.

Out of so many hosting service provider, There are only few who stand strong as a reliable and good hosting companies. I have used almost everyone of them at one point of time and finally conluded on these 4 four hosting provider.

1. Bluehost
2. Hostgator
3. Siteground
4. Wpoven

I personally host my snehiltalks website on hostgator. For ecommerce hosting, I prefer WPoven VPS hosting. Also, for my dropshipping stores, that I build on alidropship plugin, I use siteground as it is best for superfast ecommerce. But for blogging, my 1st choice has always been bluehost.

In one of my blogs about how to start a blog, I had explained how to do that using Bluehost hosting. Bluehost is the best blogging tool if we talk about hosting.

2. Best Blogging tools for SEO.

Seo without tool is really a joke. If you dont use seo tools, you are going to miss a lot of value. That’s why I also recommend people to use SEO blogging tools in order to boost your blog traffic. As far as my recommendation, I use SEMrush for all SEO purpose.

You can read my Semrush review to understand how to use semrush. Alternatively, there are many SEO tools, that you need to grow your SEO campaign further.

Other alternative SEO tools that you can use for improving your blog traffics are.

1. SERPStats.
2. KWFinder.
3. Ubersuggest.

I would also recommend using google keyword planner for doing keyword research.

3. Email Marketing Blogging tools.

If you own a blog, you need to own an email marketing tool as well. For a bigneer, it is not a worry factor as almost all email marketing tool company provides free email upto certain counts.

I personally Use.

1. Sendinblue and
2. Mailchimp

For managing my email and autoresponder purpose.

Alternatively, if you want to manage your email campaigns according to user email click behavior then I would say, Drip is the only tool that works awesome based on triggering automation. Usually people call it as drip marketing.

Lastly GetResponse tool is like a cherry over the cake. From landing pages, to handling webinars autoresponders, email automation etc, this tool is one stop solution for everything. I personally love its landing page integration with my email campaign hence use it often for all my live projects.

So, by now, you have a

• Good hosting in your bag to get your domain live to the public.
• With the SEO tool, you can now rank your website and reach your audience.
• The email marketing blogging tools will help you collect emails from your blog visitors.

But, the question is, will this really happen?

Well again the answer is NO. With all the above method, your infrastructure will be open for public but if your infrastructure is not beautiful or highy converting then all your efforts will go in vein.

For this, I can recommend you some of the best wordpress themes that will skyrocket your blog looks without affecting site speed.

4. Website theme to use for blogs

My all time faviorate is Flatsome. Don’t give a second though about any other theme. With the combination of flatsome and elementor plugins, you can create the worlds best website.
