I don't use a lot of tools for my startup, just this ones:
-intercom.io - really great to schedule automated messages and it can be synced with your database and have custom fields. Very easy to setup
-Google Apps (analytics,gmail, webmaster tools)
-Monitor Backlinks (my own startup) to build links to my website
Disclaimer: I am the CEO & Founder of Monitor Backlinks
I always use the Business Model Canvas or the Lean Startup Canvas to get insights in the bigger picture of a strategy. You can find enough examples of these models on the internet. Good luck!
My specialty is developing Digital Creative Strategies for Marketing Campaigns.
A great starting point is Google's Think Insights Toolbox: http://www.google.com/think/products-tools/
Using the data from those tools you can glean insight out of a brand which you can then use to come up with ideas that can be refined into concepts. A concept is when an idea takes on the shape of an execution, like a website or app.

My digital marketing tool of choice is “Organic Social Media Tools”. As of September 2017, Facebook has over 2 billion monthly active users, Twitter has 320 million and Instagram has well over 700 million. With so many people spending so much time on social, it is becoming one of the most important channels for brands to leverage. That is why social media management tools have become the staples of companies both big and small. Tool in this toolbox include:
1. Sprout social: Sprout is a social media management and engagement platform for business that makes it easy for brands to effectively engage with current customers and prospective customers.
2. Wyng: Wyng is an engagement marketing platform with a focus on garnering engagement via user-generated content, hashtag campaigns, referral programs, quizzes, contests and more.
3. Woobox: Like Wyng, Woobox is a social engagement platform that emphasizes interactive content. The platform is perhaps best known as a turnkey solution for running social giveaways and competitions, Instagram contests.
4. Nanigans: Nanigans is the tool of choice for companies such as Zynga, Wayfair and Rovio.
5. Facebook’s Power Editor: Facebook is constantly improving its ad platform, and the tool frequently releases new targeting and budgeting features for users.
6. Twitter Native Platform: Twitter has some fantastic features for targeting, with segmentation functionality that includes the ability to target certain keywords so that whenever someone Tweets out, or engages with a Tweet, using that key phrase they’ll be targeted. The platform is especially useful when targeting mobile users, as 86% of Twitter’s ad revenue came from mobile in 2015.

What are the best practices in monetizing a blog post with 30k visitors consistently each month?
Don't even think about monetization yet. You want to focus on first starting to capture this month's traffic - even just 1% - as email subscribers who you can continually message and Market to. Once you have someone as a subscriber, you can now email them a dozen times over a few weeks promoting your affiliate offer, increasing the chance that they'll convert -- after all, who is more likely to convert? Someone who just read a post or someone who opted in and received a dozen trust building emails promoting a product? If you have an email list built off of this traffic you could even promote multiple products over time! If you have three compelling offers, you can pitch all three in sequence, with breaks for education and information. You're right to want to monetize this audience. First and foremost: you want to capture this audience as subscribers to your email list.KD

What strategies could I use to gather user-generated reviews for a website about aged care services, like home care or nursing home care?
Hi there 1) Define your story I'm not sure who your audience is, but getting users to write reviews means that they need to resonate with your story. In order to do that, you need to convey what you've built, why it's important, why it's likely to work, etc. In other words, you across all your channels, you need to be telling the story about the value you are creating in such a way that it resonates with your target audience so that they take a desired action e.g. writing a review. 2) Attention and trust The problem you have is that you don't have attention. Now it's not about being worthy or not, its about how you architect your communications so that your audience understands the worthiness and value of what you are doing - get this part right and everything will take care of itself. The other consideration is does your target audience know who you are? If not, then it's going to be a tough job and if they do know who you are, do they trust you and your story enough to engage with you? At the heart of every transaction is trust - if you don't have it, you need to get it 3) Ask I think it goes without saying that you need to ask first - if you don't ask they just won't do it. 4) Incentivise it Typically, users won't do anything unless there is something in it for them. Think about what incentives you can offer in exchange for reviews but remember that people are rarely motivated by money 5) Create an event around it People love events and they're a great medium to convey your story and to build a community around your platform.
