The 4 Best Apps for Copywriters

Twenty or so years ago, those in the business of words only had recourse to a dictionary, thesaurus, and their wits. Cut to today and we now have access to a vast array of apps with multiple use cases for copywriters. Below are 4 that can improve and streamline your workload.

Grammarly

Initially, I was apprehensive to give in to the cloud-based typing assistant, but pride eventually gave way to curiosity. Now I always use it to go over my finished work and pick up any mistakes I may have made. It's an incredibly useful tool that expedites editing.

However, Grammarly isn't always "right". While certainly a reliable aid for emails and information-based content, it isn't particularly savvy when it comes to literary flair. So, as it tends to prioritize concision over style, remember not to blindly approve its suggestions.

Jasper-AI

The future is coming so you might as well embrace it—within reason. Jasper is an advanced AI copywriting tool that can produce teems of content within seconds. Just input specific commands and it will rustle up multiple blog ideas or style and topic-specific content.

However, unlike Grammarly, the base plan isn't free and will set you back $24 a month. Additionally. you will have to edit its suggestions carefully. It often repeats words, can resort to pedestrian structures, and Google's next update may punish purely AI-written articles.

Evernote

This note-taking and task-management app is great if (like me) you're somewhat disorganized. It's extremely intuitive to use and keep your work affairs ordered and itemized. The Google Chrome extension enables you to take screenshots with arrows, text, and highlights.

Evernote also syncs seamlessly with other devices so you can switch between them with ease. Aside from its great-value free plan, the paid subscriptions offer many advanced features. If you research a lot and need to properly arrange your thoughts, it may very well be worth it.

Canva

Images have always been a key part of content and digital marketing in general. An eye-catching and brand-conscious snap can make a difference when it comes to user engagement. That being said, Canva isn't a stock photo library, but a free graphic design tool.

Whether you're creating social media posts, posters, videos, logos, or presentations, this multifaceted app can help you craft professional content in rapid time. You can add text, make collages, and build brand identity. For content creators, it's an invaluable asset.

Conclusion

This is just a cursory look at some of the helpful tools that I use to make my copywriting business run more smoothly. There are dozens of useful apps (many of them free) on the market, so don't hesitate to explore. Speed up your process and increase your revenue!
