Nearly 9 out of 10 marketers<\/a> use content marketing as a marketing strategy.<\/p>\n

You already know the benefits if your small business or startup leverages content marketing.<\/p>\n

No matter your industry, writing is essential to reach an audience and market your company<\/a>. As we previously wrote<\/a>:<\/p>\n

If you’re not creating content on the web, you don’t exist on the web. A 140 character tweet is content. A 1,000 word blog post is content. A commend to a blog post is content. Your website is content.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Content is king, and nearly every marketer constantly searches for content marketing unicorns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Without content, we can’t share our stories<\/a> or tell people why they should become customers. Some brave brands have taken content marketing to an extreme by experimenting with troll content marketing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Doing content marketing effectively<\/a> takes skill, patience, and the right tools.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, tools can improve written content.\u00a0Many<\/span>\u00a0free and paid paraphrasing tools can help you paraphrase<\/a> content to ensure you never create duplicate content. Tools to summarize text can save time if you need to quickly understand long articles.<\/p>\n

1. Workflowy<\/a><\/h2>\n

Some people sit down and start writing.<\/p>\n

But this method doesn’t work for everyone. Many people we need outlines to organize research and ideas.<\/p>\n

While outlines can be written on virtually any word processing software<\/a>, Workflowy is an app that major entrepreneurs and CEOs love for its simplicity.<\/p>\n

There’s no catch; it’s free to use.<\/p>\n

You can even tag your bullet points to make reorganization easier. This is handy when writing pieces that can be organized in several ways. That’s pretty much the only bell or whistle on the site – with no extra settings, you can completely focus on outlining your writing.<\/p>\n

Workflowy also has an app that syncs with the website for those of us on the go\u2014although it’s undergoing a redesign to become more user-friendly.<\/p>\n
