Quick Links
No matter what your reason might be or what type of business you have (offline or online) you are constantly looking out for new marketing strategies and tools that can help grow your business.
Look no further, keep on reading to find out some amazing tools. Some might already be familiar to you, but I’m certain that you will find new ones too.
Google Trends
This is one of my favourite tools to use whenever I am creating new articles for my blog or clients. On Google Trends you can easily find out what is trending or more importantly what other people are searching on Google.
It’s very simple to use – add your keyword, choose a location, a timeframe and hit search. You could also compare multiple keywords. This is a great way to decide what you want to write about.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics is one of the most popular tools and used by any digital marketer, bloggers or any other online entrepreneurs. It gives you valuable information about your website, blog or e-commerce site. Meaning that you can easily track any traffic that goes to your website, learn about demographics, what devices are people using and many other useful data.
I say useful because having this type of information about your readers is crucial when looking to build a successful marketing strategy aimed to grow your online business.
NameBoy
Are you considering to start a new website or maybe change your domain name? Name Boy is a great resource when it comes to generating a domain or a business name.
Coming up with name ideas can be very hard. I can say that from personal experience. So this tool comes in handy.
I like that they also provide tutorials about building a website (for complete newbies). So if this is you, rest assured you can easily follow them.
So, to find out your domain name, all you need to do is write a couple of words and then hit submit. In a matter of seconds, you’ll be bombarded with tons of ideas to choose from.
Flipsnack
Flipsnack is an easy-to-use cloud-based publishing tool that allows users to create or customize their own marketing content materials.
Within a few clicks, users can design and download their own flipbooks, catalogs, magazines, photo albums, and many more.
Anyone who can sketch an idea on a napkin can also create an eye-catching flipbook because Flipsnack’s intuitive interface comes to the rescue for those who are not particularly tech-savvy with a large variety of templates ready to fit every taste.
All the preexisting templates are fully customizable so users can easily add videos, audio, photo-slideshows, GIFs, and many more interactive features which can help them create impressive flipbooks.
So if you’re looking for a content creation tool, in terms of creativity and efficiency, Flipsnack would be the right choice for you.

Looking for a way to find out what your competitors are up to? Then Buzzsumo is the perfect tool for you. It comes with a lot of features (both premium and free) that can help you analyze content online and find out valuable information about your competitors.
You can research for content, find influencers or monitor your brand and topics.
At the moment I am using it just for content research and I love it. All I do is write my keyword in the search bar and A LOT of information will come up.
I can see the title, backlinks, engagement of different social media platforms and how many times a particular link was shared.
You could stop here if you want, but I sometimes click through the article to see what the headlines are, what the layout is and the length of the article.
That’s because I want to make it better so that my articles would rank on Google. Therefore, your article should be better than what it’s already there.
