#4 - Feedly

This is a popular way to get content ideas. You can look at content published on other blogs, and then make it totally unique.

You might start by compiling a list of blogs that you like, and then go to them whenever you have some ideas. It is a huge waste of time!

Use an RSS reader instead (Feedly is the best), which will allow you to gather all posts from multiple sources into one place.

You can quickly scan through the titles to find out if they pique your curiosity and click through if necessary.

It would take you at least a few minutes to visit each of the blogs in order to find these posts. But with Feedly, it takes only a few seconds.

Although it doesn't seem like much, this adds up over time. Type a site name into the search bar and add it to your account.

This should bring up the website you are looking for. Click the plus icon beside the blog name to automatically add all posts to your feed.

#5 - TrendSpottr

If you can create content on a topic that is trending before your competitors, it will help not only with your reputation but also increase traffic to your site.

Even if you are an expert in your field, it is difficult to spot trends. This tool is focused on finding trending content, Hashtags, and phrases before anyone else.

Although you might not be the first to do so, you will be a step ahead of the rest of your competitors.

It is very easy to use. Pick a keyword, such as "content marketing", and then enter a label within the tool, such as "trending influencers." This tool will then search for the most popular users who have posted about the subject.

You can use the tool to make connections with the newbie and to create content around trending Hashtags and search terms.
