In this era, writing is an indispensable ability, especially for self-media practitioners. Chasing hot spots, writing copywriting, publishing soft articles, writing supporting articles, etc., you need to write all the time. As the saying goes, if you want to do good work, you must first sharpen your tools. As a copywriter, today I will introduce 5 essential tools for writing to help us improve our writing ability:

01 Inspiration recording tool - hammer note

In some gaps in life, we often encounter Jiguang Feather, inspiration flashes forever, and we can only regret it out of thin air if we miss it. Therefore, recording inspiration is particularly important. The inspiration recording tool I use is hammer sticky notes. Or, if your thoughts are long or you are walking on the road, we can try to record them by recording, which can also make We record faster, and don’t run into telephone poles by typing while walking.

02 Topic Selection Tool - Instant Hot List

I found that many people still have a very contemptuous attitude towards hotspots, thinking that hotspots are rubbish. For these people, I can only say that you deserve no traffic. A hot spot is just an objective event. It is not the hot spot itself that needs to be despised, but the creators who forcibly rubbed the hot spot to create "rubbish". From the perspective of traffic, it is still very necessary to select hot topics, and the tool for hot topic selection - instant hot list is indispensable. The instant hot list is an aggregated hotspot network. In the instant hot list, you can view the real-time hot search rankings of the whole network in one stop, follow hot topics, choose topics, and find hot materials, which is very powerful.

03 Material library

The biggest role of the material library is to help us find the appropriate writing direction better and faster, because when we build the material library, we also build it according to our own writing direction. When we have no creative inspiration, the material library is a lifesaver. Here are the recommended copywriting must-sees: Top Copywriting, Meihua.com, Sentence Fans, Yizhuan, Brother Bird's Operation Notes, and Instant Hot List.
