Survey Monkey

I have to admit that a client’s opinion is very crucial to any brand or entrepreneur. Their opinions doesn’t tells us about our flaws of plus points but also helps us to know what else do they need from us and how can we develop ourselves.

Survey Monkey helps us to do the job. It helps to create amazing surveys in a very easy and simple way. All we need to do is create a survey and share it to our clients. That’s it!

Commun.it

It might not be a very famous tool but creating a great social media audience is also a part of any Online Marketing Strategy.

You need to know about your followers, unfollowers, retweeter etc. You need to keep an eye on all the ongoing things on all your social media accounts.

Commun.it makes it easy for you to do all the jobs from one place. Just link your Twitter, Facebook and Instagram account to it and create your own Social Media Marketing Strategy accordingly.

Pocket

The reason behind adding Pocket in the list is sometimes when I don’t get time to read an online article but want to keep it for next time, I use Pocket.

With Pocket’s Chrome extension I could easily add any online article to keep it for next time whenever I get free.

Moz Keyword Explorer

I love this keyword research tool. Keyword Research is compulsory for any Content Marketing Strategy. But to be honest it takes a lot of time at-least in my case.

There are many other awesome tools like SEMRush for the same job but I like Moz’s because it’s simple style.

It tells you about the keyword’s monthly search volume, difficulty to rank, opportunity and priority. In the corner it also shows the PAs and DAs of the top search results.

BuzzSumo

Another special tool for me to explore the top shared posts of my competitor’s website and mine too.

Whenever I get blank for ideas, it is one of my favorite tools that I use. I just check for my top competitor’s website and check for what can I write to get more engagement rates on social media.

BuzzSumo is just not a Social Media Marketing Tool but a lot more than that.
