This browser extension and mobile app packs in a bunch of excellent features. Right off the bat, this tool can help you find relevant video topics and even recommend great titles. Utilize A/B testing capabilities to find the best thumbnail for your video and update videos in bulk when you have too many to sift through individually.

Redirect Tracker

Not every CTA is created equal. Some will link you to what you’re looking for. Some may just be spam. If you’re ever unsure, use Redirect Tracker.

Links can send you all over the place. Some links are shortened so you don’t have any hint of where it will take you. Simply copy and paste your link into this tool and find out where it’s trying to send you.

Frame

Doubling down on your own video efforts? Video takes a bit of collaboration. Rather than sending emails back and forth with various video drafts, try Frame.

Jargon Grader

Cutting down on jargon keeps your content from getting too bloated and cliche. Much of the time, jargon serves no real purpose and we’re better off without it. Use Jargon Grader to see where you can trim down your use of jargon.

Just copy and paste your text into the writing field, and all the jargon will be flagged for your review. Use it to craft better messages your readers will appreciate.

ZenPen

Writing a blog may be straightforward, but that doesn’t make it easy. Sure, the ingredients are well known: brainstorming, research, writing, editing, optimizing, publishing, promoting, and revising. But cooking up a blog post from these ingredients takes time and serious effort. To help with the writing portion, look to ZenPen.

This tool is a simple and distraction-free place to write. It has a minimalistic interface without all the features of a standard text editor. If you’re looking for something simple, then this is as bare-bones as it gets. Featuring full-screen mode, dark mode, and a place to input your target word count, ZenPen offers a perfect place to write.
