As an aspiring data analyst and a new blogger, I can't stop myself from searching for tools and research to help enhance my finance blog. For this post, I will put a hold on talking about personal finance and spend some time discussing my discovery of Google Data Studio.
Google is not only an effective web searching tool but also a universe of an effective marketing platform. Google provides tools for eCommerce sites or bloggers like me to understand more about our audiences via a number of visits, duration of stay and so on. One of the tools I am really impressed with is Google Data Studio.
This tool allows users to upload their datasets and generate appealing reports for the audience. The design of Data Studio is very user-friendly and anyone can create attractive reports with simple steps. Below is the instruction on how to create a report via Data Studio:

This tool is perfect for me as I can start collecting data about personal finance such as Toronto residents' spending habits and create a beautiful report for my audience. Also, I can easily share my reports with others as well. If you are interested in learning about this tool, here is a post that describes in detail the benefits and drawbacks of Data Studio.
To conclude this post, I have a good experience with Data Studio so far as it is such an easy tool to collect data from google platform and it delivers appealing results after a few clicks.
Collecting data is much more easy with a number of open data sources like Toronto Open Data Source, NYC Open Data, let try this tool and let me know what you think about it.
See you next time!
