  • Google Docs

Google makes some really great tools and Google Docs is one of my favorites which I use daily for content marketing.

We use Google Docs to do our all of our content writing on. Using Google Docs is way more practical than using a standard word doc. With a Google Doc you can share a link to the document and have the option to allow editing or just viewing. This makes collaboration with teammates a breeze as all team members can work on the project together.

Another helpful feature with Google Docs is the adding notes feature. These notes are very useful for the content manager communicating with their team of writers. They writers can simply see the feedback and quickly apply the changes. Giving feedback to your team of content writers is very important because you want them to grow and improve in the role.
