How I Write Daily Content in 30 Minutes With Free Tools
Daily content creation can seem like a burden… but with the right tools, it's surprisingly simple and stress-free. I figured it out — without burnout — using just six free tools. Here's my process to write in 30 minutes a day without compromising quality or creativity.
Step 1: Get Instant Post Ideas — AnswerThePublic
Time spent: 5 minutes
This is often the hardest part—figuring out what to write. With AnswerThePublic, I just type a keyword, and it shows real-time questions from people online.
From there, I choose one idea and move on to outlining.
🔧 Alternative: AlsoAsked, Google Autocomplete
Step 2: Plan Structure — Notion
Time spent: 5 minutes
In Notion, I use a simple content template:
- Hook or headline
- Introduction
- Bullet points or subheadings
- Call to action
It keeps me organized and removes decision fatigue.
🔧 Alternative: Trello, Google Docs
Step 3: Write Fast — ChatGPT
Time spent: 10 minutes
With ChatGPT, I paste my outline and ask it to write a first draft. I don’t copy it as-is—I customize and rewrite it in my voice.
🛠️ Tip: Be specific with your prompts.
Step 4: Polish — Grammarly
Time spent: 3 minutes
After editing, I run the content through Grammarly to catch grammar issues, passive voice, and wordiness. It’s like a 2-second proofreader.
🔧 Alternative: Hemingway Editor
Step 5: Design Graphic — Canva
Time spent: 5 minutes
I use Canva to create a simple visual or thumbnail. Just pick a template, drop in your content, and customize. It increases visibility when shared on social media.
🔧 Tool: Magic Resize for multiple formats
Step 6: Schedule — Buffer
Time spent: 2 minutes
I upload the post and graphic into Buffer and schedule it. You can batch a whole week if you want. No more daily posting stress.
🔧 Alternative: Later, Hootsuite
