Tim Hanson x 530 // Content tools

Tools for getting shit done.

Ahoy, welcome.

I’m Tim. I run

fivethreeoh.com⁠

. It’s been a long journey, nearly 10 years at this point, here’s the list of things I use to make the job smoother. Both the big tools, and the little tools.

The internet has created the biggest lever you could ever lean on to build an audience, both personal and professional. From 0 - 10k in a matter of months. I’m not gonna tell you how here, because even though I’m 10 years in, I still don’t know. What I do know is the tools that have helped me get there. So, enjoy. My big list of content tools. From search to personal, from fun to monetisation baby!

🔎 Job Tools

Things I need to do my job - I’m not going to go hugely into detail on these as they’re their own whole thing. Check them out, each tool is amazing and has had to earn a spot to be daily for me.

Detailed SEO Extention⁠

by Glenn Allsop

🕴 Business Tools

Google Drive. I mean, what else do people use these days?

The various Google tracking software. Analytics, Search Console, Data Studio for reporting

⁠

CODA⁠

- This is a Coda doc. It’s like Notion. But good.

If you’re hiring writers you can’t go wrong with

Workello⁠

⁠

📝 LinkedIn posting

This is a new one for me, but after 7 weeks of posting twice a day, each week day. I think I have a system.

⁠

Gyazo⁠

for screenshotting sweet posts people make. The OCR on there is amazing and enables me to copy paste the text into a templates file I have.

⁠

Taplio⁠

for scheduling. I can see at a glance where I have gaps and where I need to write more.

⁠

Shield⁠

for analytics. Honestly, I don’t think I’d have made it this far without seeing the numbers and the tiny growth day by day.

⚙ The Fun Ones - Min-maxing my job

⁠

Gyazo⁠

. I’ve had this subscription for years now and it’s cool to go back and see all the random screenshots I’ve taken.

But it’s for screenshots, easily marking them up, sending to clients, storing and putting into folders.

I have the hotkey on my mouse to make it super easy

Talking about mouses, mice, hand tools.

Logitech MX Master 3⁠

. It’s jus the best mouse in the world. I have 2 on ice for when this one dies. Because I use it so much.

Keyboard is a custom

Ergodox⁠

with Box Royales - Pokemon Keycaps - and added weights/foam to dampen the sound.

I’m not going to go into the audio today - Just do it properly. It’s a win for everyone when you have a good mic.

Plugins

Chrome Plugin -

Scraper⁠

- I use this all the time for scraping tables on webpages into sheets so I can play around with them.

Wordcount extension -

My favourite is this one.⁠

- There are ones that work on a right click. They’re good too, but they don’t show up when I’m screensharing on Zoom calls. So I use this one.

A whole ass website for this is -

Wordcounter.io⁠

- Also shows you word densities.

⁠

Copy All Urls⁠

- I use this to open loads of sites at once, then copy the list into various other places instead of doing it one by one. Also, you can do it the other way around. Start with a list, end up with 100 tabs open.

And in general - Get good at typing. It’s something you’ll do every day. It’s worthwhile to enjoy the process of it. -

Monkeytype.com⁠
