Two Free Tools for Freelance Writing

I wanted to let you guys know today about a couple of free tools that I use each and every day for freelance writing. These two tools make my life so much easier!

They are both actually Firefox add on’s, so if you are not using Firefox, you won’t be able to take advantage of them. Also, if you are not using Firefox, then you should be. It’s the best! Plus, it’s free and no-hassle.

The first tool that I wanted to tell you about is the “Word Count” Firefox add on. This is especially helpful for those who write for Demand Studios and like to write directly into the input form. As you may have realized, DS likes to have a certain word count per article, but there is no word count tool on the input screen. Once you install the Word Count plug in, though, it’s much easier. A little “W” appears in the bottom right of your screen and all you have to do is highlight your text and hit the “W”. The word count will appear on your screen right next to the “W”. Neat, huh?

The next tool is the “Split Screen” Firefox add on. I use this one all the time when I am doing research for an article. Once it is installed, you simply click on “Split” in your top toolbar and then choose a tab to split to the right of the screen. This way, you can have your research on one side of your screen and the article that you are writing on the other side.

So how do you get all this cool free stuff? If you are using Firefox, click on “Tools” in your toolbar. Then click on “Add-Ons” and then on “Get Add-Ons”. You should now be able to search for the add on that you would like.

Do you have any Firefox add ons that you can’t live without? Leave me a comment and tell me about them!
