Week 12 Part A: Using Business Specific Online Tools

 Exploring Online Tools for Coco Shuffles

This week I explored a few online tools that could help me grow Coco Shuffles, and I found some that are definitely worth trying out. I looked into online collaboration tools, professional networking sites, and places where people can review or discover businesses like mine.

One tool that stood out is Canva for Teams, a free design tool perfect for content collaboration. It makes it super easy to create graphics for my dance brand, and I can see it being useful if I ever bring on someone to help with editing or marketing. I also checked out Slack and could see it being helpful if I work with a small content or brand collab team in the future.

On the networking side, I explored LinkedIn groups and found some communities for creators and small business owners. I also checked out MeetUp, and I’m considering joining a group for women entrepreneurs—connecting with others who understand this grind could be super helpful.

For rating tools, I looked at Yelp and Google Reviews. Even though I’m not a physical business, I think it’s still important to build credibility and manage my online presence wherever people might be searching. I plan to claim my Google Business profile and make sure it looks clean and current.

Lastly, I reviewed platforms like TikTok and SoundCloud. TikTok is already a major part of how I grow my brand, and now I’m thinking about adding behind-the-scenes or even live-streamed dance sessions to connect deeper with my audience. These tools are easy to access and could really level up my brand’s visibility if I stay consistent.

  1. Hey Coco! I really liked your post it sounds like you found some solid tools that match your brand. Canva for Teams is such a great choice, especially if you start working with others on content. And I totally agree about Google Business, even if your business isn’t a physical location, people still search for you online, so it’s smart to keep that profile clean and active. I also loved the idea of doing behind-the-scenes or livestream dance sessions on TikTok, that sounds so fun and engaging! I think you’re on the right path with all of this.
