Google Chrome Extensions: Grammarly
This extension is a boon for those who make a lot of grammatical mistakes while writing the content for their blog. Now since I don’t have a big grammar issue, I do not use it personally. Not trying to sound cocky.
And in fact I have been using Google Docs to draft my posts so there is a spell check feature that helps me correct all those mistakes that I may have made in that blog post.
But then if your grammar problem is quite big one, then definitely you need to go with Grammarly. Grammarly is the best Chrome extension for rectifying your mistakes and to help you to write smoothly. Grammarly is a free Chrome extension.
But then yes you can upgrade to the premium version anytime. I have talked about Grammarly and other Chrome extensions to help you avoid grammatical errors in this video as well.

Google Chrome Extensions: Easy Blog Commenting
Networking is important. Building a community online is a must. Even I have been following a lot of channels that are there in my niche. I leave some good comments about their content. Ask them questions. And all that.
But no sub for sub or spamming. That’s wrong, you know! So if you also keep leaving valuable comments on other’s blogs, use this extension. This extension has been created by India’s one of the most popular blogger, Harsh Agarwal.
He is the founder of ShoutMeLoud. You have heard the name, right? This tool makes it easier for you to comment faster. Using this, you can make different profiles, and based on that, your name, email, website are all automatically filled.
While you are commenting. Commenting on blogs is quite lengthy, so I do not comment on blogs but rather on their YouTube channel as it is much smoother on YouTube. And almost every professional blogger has a YouTube channel, so it is quite a good idea.
Google Chrome Extensions: Giphy For Chrome
There are 176 thousand people who are using Giphy. And anyways does not love that cute, short, crisp animated GIFs?! Giphy’s GIFs boost engagement dramatically on blogs, in videos, social media posts and everywhere.
You can pick up any GIF that you like. Only those that do not have any copyright issue. I want to clarify this. Because I personally have never been using this tool, so yes go through the guidelines once by yourself as well. So that you are 100% satisfied.

Google Chrome Extensions: TubeBuddy
If you are a blogger present on YouTube also, then this tool is going to save you from failing at YouTube SEO. Because remember, if Google is the largest search engine, then YouTube is at the second position only.
And doing YouTube SEO is equally important. I am pretty sure that you have heard about TubeBuddy earlier. TubeBuddy could probably be called as a YouTube SEO extension. Tube buddy is available for free as well as for paid.
I have been using this tool for free. And trust me, I don’t find it of any use. So if you want to actually experience TubeBuddy, you will have to go with the paid version. The paid version is quite awesome.
But yes, the free version has so many limitations. That makes me angry! But anyways, TubeBuddy lets you optimize your videos using tags that are related and relevant.
It also teaches you how to attract tons of views to your YT videos. Using this tool, you can find the number of times your content has been shared. You can also create awesome thumbnails.
