Recommended Tools
For Network Marketers
Here are some awesome tools and resources we use every day, and highly recommend to you.
Each of these services are absolutely excellent tools that help my business run very smoothly. Keep in mind, you don’t have to use these. You can still “get by” without them, they are just tools that I personally use and recommend because they make life much easier.
Aweber Emailing System
Do you have a landing page or in the process of building one? You should be, how else are you going to generate your own leads. when a visitor comes to your landing page you can have them enter their name and email address in the subscription box.
This information is then collected in your Aweber account. You can then schedule emails ot be sent to these visitors automatically. That’s a great way to build your business. Get started today
Commercial Emailing Systems
A crucial part of running ANY online business is the need for a commercial emailing system. Often these are mistakenly called Autoresponders. It’s an old name left over from the 90’s.
A commercial emailing system is a must have tool for growing an emailing list and remaining in touch with your subscribers and prospects. On your lead capture page, landing page, website or blog you place some special code on your page where you want the capture form to appear. This code is provided by the emailing company you choose to go with.
Of course you can easily have an outsourced web developer do all the work for you. Your focus needs to remain on growing your business not on becoming a web developer.
When the form is activated, it will collect the prospects contact information, for example, name, email and telephone. This information will go into your list you made in your commercial emailing account.
This is the cool part: now you can have email messages automatically sent to your prospects without you even being awake. Also you can send broadcast email messages to all your subscribers any time you want.
Are you beginning to see the power of having such a great system at your fingertips?
It even gets better, but lets leave that until you are more experienced. There are a number of recommended systems you might choose from. For over 10 years I used Aweber. They have a good system which is very step by step for getting set up and responsive customer support for when you need personalized assistance.
Other good ones are MailChimp and GetResponse. I have used GetResponse but not MailChimp
