Here's how you can sort out yours. - **Topic:** [Business](https://urbanpixel.io/blog/category/business) - **Published:** 18 Feb 2022 - **Reading time:** 3 min [Picture: Man working on a laptop at a desk in a bright white-brick office with a large window.] The modern-day online entrepreneur needs to have a variety of tools at their disposal that can assist in running their business. If used correctly, these tools can help you grow and scale your business more quickly than you might otherwise be able to. It can be overwhelming and easy to get lost, what with all the different options out there. The trick is to use the right tool for the job and not over-complicate things. With that in mind, below are some of the best tools for your online business. ## Social Media Marketing & Management Social Media is an essential tool for businesses, especially for startups. It helps businesses to interact with customers and generate brand awareness. However, managing different platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc., simultaneously is very time-consuming. This is where social media management tools come into play. Hootsuite is one of those few social media marketing management tools that has everything you need to manage your different social media accounts from one software. Hootsuite enables you to schedule and analyze the performance of your posts easily. It is easy to use and offers robust features that make it more efficient to schedule and track your social media marketing campaigns. ### Graphic Design Tools Such as Canva Graphic design tools are useful for anyone who wants to create graphics for social media, website, or print. There is a wide range of tools that cost nothing, but the graphics may not look professional. Even the ones that do cost money don't guarantee the level of professionalism offered by Canva: a tool that allows users to make stunning free of cost. Through Canva, people can create all types of designs for their business, blog, or social media. It’s an easy-to-use tool that lets people connect with your audience through images, brand your business effectively, and create stunning designs on the go. ### Market Research & Analytics Tools Data is the backbone of any marketing campaign. If you’re a small business owner or a marketer who’s been tasked to do marketing for your brand or company, you are probably looking for an affordable tool that can help you with all your marketing goals. Google Analytics is one such tool to get deep insights into your audience. It helps to understand customer behavior,  buying pattern and measure ROI, so you can think of ways to increase sales. It's simple to use, and you don’t have to learn any programming language to use it. ### Accounting Software If you’re running an online business, you may want to consider using accounting software to keep track of your income and expenses. This will enable you to see your business activities in one place and also help you with your tax obligations. QuickBooks is one such software that offers a range of features that are useful when running a business. It is used by small businesses and individuals for payroll, invoicing, and other basic business tasks. It’s pretty simple to use and offers a great solution for those just starting and who don’t want to invest thousands in accounting software. ### Email Marketing Email Marketing is one of the oldest, most popular, and profitable methods of digital marketing. With an estimated 4 billion email users, email marketing is a great way to get in front of your audience and communicate with your customers. It’s also an effective way to generate revenue for your brand. The key to successful email marketing is keeping your list engaged and growing. Email marketing software such as MailChimp can help you in the process. Mailchimp is great for building a list of subscribers, scheduling automated emails, and catering to the right customer base. ### Learn About Launching a Business The business world is becoming increasingly competitive.
