Snappa 

Small businesses often have limited staffing to have the luxury of retaining a full-time graphic designer but still need one, and this makes Snappa my favorite digital marketing content creation tool. How your content appears visually is every bit as important as the content itself, as the right graphics can add or detract from its impact. Snappa has a multitude of great templates and design tools to make even the novice perform like a professional graphic artist. Whether it is for your blog, newsletter, email, or social media outlets, Snappa has graphics that are perfectly suited for your needs. If your need for graphic design is greater than your ability to hire an in-house professional, then Snappa is one of the best content creation tools for you.

Jasper AI

My favorite content creation tool definitely has to be Jasper AI. Not only does it speed up the process of content creation as a whole, but also massively helps when it comes to getting over the dreaded writer’s block. As a blogger, there’s nothing worse than opening a blank document and straining for inspiration. With a tool like Jasper AI, I can get writing prompts and paragraph introductions which then can give a much-needed boost to any content efforts.

Mailchimp

If you have a small in-house content team, consider investing in MailChimp’s content creation tools. Mailchimp can not only help you build out your website, a powerful tool for small businesses just starting out but can help you create a content style guide using AI to make informed and effective marketing decisions. They offer an all-in-one platform that will store your content and images and take you from your concept idea all the way to publishing.

Vectr

Vectr is my top pick when it comes to creating designs for social media content. Vectr is a web and desktop cross-platform tool that helps marketers and influencers to create amazing designs with zero frustration for the social media platforms.

And most importantly Vectr allows you to save the design you made In Scalable vector graphics that maintain the pictures or templates in the same resolution and pixels that even if you cut out or zoom in the resolutions will not change.

Therefore, finding the right tool with a built-in template and easy-to-use features are the two factors that help in creating unique visual content and graphic designs, Vectr has both of them and the very best thing is that Vectr is a free platform.

Elai

When it comes to digital marketing, I love videos. They are entertaining, they are widely shared, and keep people engaged.

BuzzSumo

BuzzSumo allows you to type in any keyword and delivers to you all important facts and controversy attached to that keyword. It basically tells you what people are talking about these days in regard to your search. It scans all social sites and uncovers the most shared data online. It is a great tool to accumulate accurate facts as well as people’s commentary on said topic. You can further customize your searches and also filter out results based on your needs.

Canva

The current state of marketing cannot emphasize content marketing’s significance enough. To keep your visitors interested and eventually convert them into paying customers, you’ll need a strong content strategy with original content ideas and long-term content curation. It’s critical to pick the best content generation tool if you want to differentiate yourself from your rivals.

Canva is a platform for creating content that I enjoy using because anyone can use it for free and because it is really simple to use. It is a widely used tool among bloggers, content producers, and digital marketers.

Users can also make videos, PowerPoint presentations, slideshows, posters, and greeting cards for a variety of occasions. Alternatively, if necessary, you can alter your dimensions. Canva provides free stock images aimed at numerous businesses. Just enter the search keyword, and grids of associated images will appear.
