Five Content Writing Tools for Beginners
Content writing is challenging until we have written a few copies. For a beginner, putting ideas on paper is more challenging than organizing ideas. After writing a few pieces myself, here are five tools that will help you optimize and authenticate the quality of your writing. These tools not only make writing easier but also help in content optimization by making the content more searchable.
Answer the Public for Brainstorming
The best tool that will help you brainstorm is answerthepublic.com. You need to enter the topic (subject) that you are writing the article for. This tool facilitates ideas represented as flow charts stating the use of the subject-matter in various directions.
Answer the Public is free.It requires no installation and fetches the information in real-time from Google. It is termed as a reverse search engine because it conveys the output as the questions related to the keyword that we want to search on google by putting an input as a keyword to the content.
For example, when you search for “creative writing” on Google, it displays suggestions that are popular to creative writing with the popular prefixes.
When you enter the same keyword in answerthepublic.com, it shows the results in 5 categories that are part of the most popular search engines like Google.

These five categories are displayed in the form of visuals and are explained as follows:
- Questions: This demonstrates the association of the keyword, which is “creative writing” in our case with various questions like when, how, what, where, which, will, can, are who. The questions have grey, green and dark green dots at the end of the branches. The coloured dots indicate the popularity of the keyword in the question’s direction — the grey for the least popular and dark green for the most popular.

If “content writing” is the typed keyword, then the category of letter “A” would contain a list of search prefixes such as agency, app, articles.
