On Friday night, I sorted out my best bookmarks from the rest and went from approx. 4 billion to about 30 that I actually use. (Rock n roll, I know.🤟🎸)

Here are my writing ones. 12 websites that I always use when I'm writing and how I use them...

🧵🧵🧵

#copywritersunite

1. My go-to for transcribing interviews, but I also love to use it for videos. Say, if a client sends me a video to refer to or I want to copy a video script structure, I'll press record on Otter, play on the vid, put my feet up and feel like a genius.

otter.ai/home

2. 🎩 h/t to @wordmancopy for sharing the only tools you'll ever need to breathe life into your creative processes.

deckofbrilliance.com

3. For spelling, grammar and sentences that don't make that much sense. You won't agree with all the suggestions but that's part of the "fun".

Premium is worth it but 💯 try cancelling your existing sub as I got a sweet, sweet 'please don't go' deal.

grammarly.com/premium

4. The best thesaurus, wordbook, synonym dictionary, book that sounds like a dinosaur. 🦕

powerthesaurus.org

5. A writing power hour every weekday morning that anyone can join. I mean to do this every day. I haven't yet. BUT I WILL. See you there?

writershour.com

6. Bookmarked to remind me that I love using it for inspiration to come up with ideas around a topic, see what people are searching for and what's trending >> Google IMAGES.

google.co.uk/imghp

7. And, more obviously (but isn't the obvious always so easy to forget?) >> Google Trends.

trends.google.com/trends

8. SEO, baby. 60 free tools. By Moz.

moz.com/blog/best-free…

9. You've spent ages on an article or blog, it really is worth spending time on the headline to entice people to read it.

coschedule.com/headline-analy…

10. More help when you're drawing a blank with titles, subject lines and headlines.

portent.com/tools/title-ma…

11. A really handy tool for really being able to see how many times you've really used the same word. Like really.

writewords.org.uk/word_count.asp

12. I haven't found a proper useful use for this one yet, but I like it. Cut and paste text to extract only the questions.

only-the-questions.glitch.me

Those are all my bookmarks that are relevant for writing. I hope some of these are helpful for you.

I love to find out any other websites you refer to again and again when you're writing. Tell me why or how you use them. 👇
