THE BEST FREE APPS FOR BLOGGERS

 

Let’s talk blogging!

I’m an app junkie. There are SO many FREE apps out there that basically act as your very own personal assistant.

I know a lot of you babes are young entrepreneurial women. Well, every successful entrepreneur needs some organization in their life. Organization is essential when running a business.

 

I encourage everyone (especially bloggers) to utilize these free apps. They will make running your business A LOT easier.

1. POSTVU

This is by far my FAVORITE app! Let me tell you, planning out your Instagram is key. I’m very ocd when it comes to planning out my pictures. I think of my brand as a magazine. When you are flipping through a magazine, everything is visually beautiful and the branding is consistent. Think about a magazine that focuses on nature. You’d probably see a lot of natural colors like browns, greens and blues. Now, imagine flipping through that mag seeing those natural colors and then all of a sudden you see hot pink…. Doesn’t fit the brand and it’s very confusing to the reader.

Postvu will allow you to create and establish your branding. You can plan out how your Instagram will look, move things around and even schedule your posts!

Now, here is my Instagram.

Deff recommend Postvu for any creative looking to grow a brand on Instagram!

 

2. VSCO

VSCO is by far the best app for editing photos. I’ve experimented with a few different editing apps and I always come back to VSCO. They have tons of presets you can choose from (free & paid).

I usually use the same filters on VSCO to keep everything consistent.

If you want me to do a separate post on how I edit my Instagram photos, let me know in the comments!

 

3. BLOGLOVIN’

This is one of my favorite apps for bloggers because it’s SO convenient. I love staying in touch with my friends who are bloggers as well as discovering new blogs. Bloglovin’ is perfect because you can follow all of your favorite blogs and then get notified when they post. It’s also super easy when commenting. Think of it as a place for keeping up with all of your favorite blogs and discovering new ones all in one place!

 

 

4. INFLUENSTER

Okay, now this app is a hidden secret. This app is so perfect for bloggers especially those just starting out. Influenster is an app where different brands will send you product to try and review. You have to be accepted into the campaign and there are guidelines to follow once accepted but once you are it’s definitely a game changer. This is great for bloggers just starting out because you will have new product to try and fun content to create!

5. EVERNOTE

I’m a huge note taker. I love the notes section of my iphone but I needed more organization. Evernote is perfect because you can stay organized and have it work on any and all devices and you can share it.

I love making my notes look pretty. I’m a very visual person and when I do my note taking I like to add a visual aspect in order to really remember everything. This can be anything from color coding to adding little doodles.

 

Well, there ya have it. Those 5 apps get me through the day! Whether you are a fellow blogger, creative or you just need a little organization in your life- those apps deff do the trick!
