The Ultimate List of 85+ Free (or Low Cost) Blogging Tools

I get this question daily, “Sue, how do you…” (fill in the blank with the latest problem that has been causing you to tear your hair out)

  1. Thanks for putting this together and including us, Sue!

    I'm a big fan of Leadpages as well! We've been seeing some real success using their exit pop-ups on our site; making it well worth the investment.

    I'm going to have to check out some of these free stock photo sites – you can never have enough great photos to use

  2. Hi Sue,

    Thanks for including my Blog Name Generator 😉

    Editorial Calendar sounds like a great tool, I will have to check it out.

    One of my favorite tools in your list is Hemingway. It can have such a positive impact on your writing. I love the way it pushes you towards simpler sentences.

    Great work as usual.

  3. [ Smiles ] Nice selections, Sue.

    Thanks to you, I have learned about "Picography" and "PicJumbo".

    I having been using "Pixabay" for quite sometime.

    And, you would be pleased to know that I follow your blog via "Feedly"(As a matter of fact, I use "Feedly" to follow everyone; I am one of those rare bloggers who do not follow blogs by subscribing to it via email).

    Do enjoy the rest of your day!

  7. Hi Sue,

    I stumbled across the headline analyzer tool yesterday . I do have many more free image sites' list from Marianne Manthey (you may know her), but many other tools are new to me.

    As you know now, I'm using Hemingway since I last read about it at SuccessfulBlogging. I was looking for it in this list and it's there. It's a great tool, IMO. BTW, I read this in a tweet. If you edit your comments before posting, you're a grammar nerd. 🙂

    I use FocusatWill since a few days too. Before, I tried it on and off and then stopped using it.

    I found another free tool yesterday — write-boxappspot.com

    The good thing about it is, it saves in MarkDown though you write in simple text, and it is an in-browser text-editor. It also backs up what you type, to Dropbox and Google Drive, both. Nice, isn't it? It's quite light too.

    About fiverr. You don't get something valuable for just 5 or 5.50 bucks. You need to get extra gigs for getting some good things done, which can sometimes go to $30+. But, it's a nice start and still a great site.

    Reply

    • Oh, thanks for the info on write=boxappspot.com, Raspal! I'm going to go check it out now.

      Fiverr is definitely more expensive than when I first started using it when it first came out.

      Thanks for the helpful comment.

  22. Thank you Sue for this huge list Sue.

    I am new to blogging and glad I stumbled upon your site while curating a post about "how to make money with a blog".

    Definitely, Feed.ly and Triberr have my attention. Useful to connect with more like-minded bloggers like you. This will shape for the better my blogging journey for sure.

    So many valuable tools here that I didn't know about.

    I am considering Longtail pro against Market Samurai. I have tried MS, not bad. But, which one to choose. Can you share your opinion?

    On a last note. This comment was written and edited using Hemingway app. Awesome app. Thank you Sue. Please keep it up!

      Thanks so much for your comment! Triberr gets you appreciably more traffic (always a great thing) so go ahead and join. Look me up there.

      I've used both Market Samurai and Long Tail Pro. I personally think Long Tail Pro is easier to use and gives you just the info you need. I use it exclusively now.

      Nice use of Hemingway 🙂

  24. Hi, Sue,

    Oh, goody – I love blogging tools. 🙂

    Really like LeadPages and Grammarly myself, (as well as Long Tail Pro), and will be checking out Wordoid. Sounds so helpful. I used to use Smush.it but switched to EWWW Image Optimizer. In 2014 I switched from free stock images to unique and original so that I rank for my pics also.

    I occasionally use Coffitivity and think that’s such a neat background noise app. Had never heard of FocusAtWill or Noisli, so thanks for the recommendation – will be checking those out! Fun stuff!

    Talk soon,

    • Hi, Carol,

      I love blogging tools also – I had so much fun pulling together this list.

      Check out the free 30-day trial of Focus At Will. I have a subscription and you get to choose between 10-14 channels. I personally like the "spa music"! You fill out a one question survey as to how productive you were after the timed music (I set it at 55 minutes). It really works well.

      Thanks so much for the info on EWWW Image Optimizer.

  26. Hello Sue,

    Great list.

    I think by far my fave blogging tools have to be any list-building tools – SumoMe, Mailchimp (and I absolutely love their 2000 subscriber starter plan. So easy on a beginner's pocket).

    I have actually been toying with the idea of using a feature opt-in box on my blog. I will navigate over to Plugmatter and see if this will work on my site. I used to have the SumoMe hotbar at the top of my blog but it hardly converted visitors as much as my pop-up did. Oh well, I will test the opt-in box definitely.

    Cool tools & tips Sue !! Thanks for compiling such a handy list.

    Reply

    • Hi, Gertrude,

      SumoMe and MailChimp are terrific since they are free – a great way to start for a newer blogger.

      I think you'll be pleased with Plugmatter and having a feature opt-in box. A feature opt-in box converts at 5% – 9% where a sidebar opt-in converts at 1/2 of 1%. Huge difference!

      Thanks so much for your comment,
      Sue

  27. Wow, what a list Sue!

    I am surprised by the huge list of image sites, never realized there was so many. Here I was using one or two. I've been missing out 🙂

    Also like all the writing resources. I could use some of those.

    Couple I could add, unless I missed them. Insights from google for site speed test and other site info. Only one I use actually. Also, Woocommerce is a great shopping cart plugin for WordPress.

    Thanks for sharing. This is getting bookmarked. 🙂

I'm going to hold onto this post so that when I have more time I can check some of these sites out. One weekend alone I went through a ton of free image sites so I do see a lot of them on this list.

    I downloaded Social Warfare thanks to you. I think I prefer it to SumoMe's social plugin because it allows you to disable the share buttons on the homepage, which I don't like.

    I have been using Grammarly for a few weeks and really like it. It is free, but you have the option to upgrade for a fee. You also get a report each week with stats about things like how many words you wrote during the week, the percentage of mistakes you compared to other Grammarly users, etc.

  60. Sue, what a BRILLIANT round-up! I am a bit in awe of your ability to seamlessly use so many tools at once. But why am I not surprised? You're a master of productivity!

    2.5 additional recommendations:

    1) "Kill Newsfeed" for productivity. This Chrome extension is free and makes your Facebook newsfeed vanish on your computer. So if you're a chronic FB checker or need to get on there for business reasons, you spare yourself the madness of seeing all those comments and can get straight to work.

    2) Peek.UserTesting.com for user experience. You get a free 5-minute video of a REAL person using your website. So you can easily see what works and what doesn't for ACTUAL HUMANS IN REAL TIME. So cool.

    2.5) Pinterest for free stock photo round-ups. This one gets a half point because it's a "tool" I created—namely, a Pinterest board with every free pic site I've come across. It's SO helpful for keeping track of everything!

    As far as photo sites go, Unsplash is my favorite, but a few additional sites for your list are Minimography.com, StockSnap.io, and CreateHerStock, which is a free sign-up to receive monthly photo packs of women of color, which IMO are decidedly difficult to find in our whitewashed media culture. (That's a whole different story…) <3

    Wow, this really is the ultimate list! You mentioned a lot of my favorites like Pexels, Pixabay, Canva, Hello Bar, Triberr…I can go on here. 🙂

    I would like to add to your list – BeFunky is a great photo editor. It's free but you can also upgrade of about $40 a year. What I like about it is you can directly grab pics from pixabay – which saves from downloading pics to our pc. It came in handy when Canva was down yesterday. 🙂

    Thanks for this list – I've already passed it along! Enjoy the rest of your week.

  78. Hi Sue,

    Wow! You really over deliver! Thank you so much for these tools.

    Question: Do you know a tool or program to easily set up a membership program?

    I see so many that are SO INVOLVED and so expensive. It seems a rather simple idea.

    Do you have any recommendations on setting up a Membership site?

    Thank you!

    Dave

    • I use a simple but useful site called ValueAddOn. Other plugins wouldn't work properly, so I took it off-site.

      Thanks, Dave,

  79. Hi Sue Anne

    Hope you are doing very well.

    PicJumbo, Unsplash, and Pixabay are the tools I used for downloading the pics for my Laptop and for the guest posts and I also gonna to take try to other mention sites for more quality pics.

    For Keywords, I used Google Adwords Keyword Planner and KeywordTool.io, and these tools work fine for me.

    Google Analytics is really an awesome tool to track website statistics.

    And thank you so much for sharing so many other tools on the list. It is like all the stuff I got at one place.

    Thank you, Sue

  84. Hai!

    Thanks for this amazing article! 🙂 I have personally used Writerack and DIggDIgg and they are simply great! Have to start using other tools as well. I am surprised that you use 63 of them! Maybe because I am just an amateur and at the starting stage. Looking forward to some more great tips! 🙂

  86. I had to bookmark this list (too many of them). Thanks for doing the homework on our behalf, Sue.

    One that immediately stood out for me was Wordoid. I have relied on it several times to generate catchy domain names, and the service works surprisingly well!

    In fact, my website's name (Listiller) was a mashup of words generated by Wordoid. It didn't make much sense in the English language, but i was heavily into creating Listicles at the time I bought it. So it was love at first sight (and still is to this day).

    Pixabay also has a WordPress plugin, which I wholeheartedly rely on while publishing new posts. I will certainly keep the rest of these items in mind.

    Thanks a ton, Sue 😉

    You have compiled a list of tools that every blogger should be using to skyrocket their Blogging Business.

    I gave a try to Hemingway & Cool Timer because I was new to them and found them the best tools ever.

  107. Wow, what a great list, Sue. I'am especially appreciate the free stock photos. Actually, I'am a photographer and travel blogger, so I use my own pics. But I come often in situations where I need a very specific pic. In this case, I'am using those free stock photos. Pexels was the only database I was familiar with.

    Thank to your list, I have now much more resources.

  113. Thanks for this list. I always trying to find royalty free photos for my posts. Beyond Pixabay and Pexel I didn't have much else. I never knew there were so many other free stock photos. I will be sure to check out some of the other tools as well.

    Thank you so much,

    We've used a bunch of free pictures from Pixels, PixaBay, and others. It's incredible how talented these photographers are, and even more incredible that they're allowing these photos to be free.
