7 Online Network Marketing Tools to Free Up Your Time

Would your life be easier if you had some online network marketing tools that worked around the clock so you don’t have to? I put together 7 tools that prospect, teach, sell, and collect money while you’re doing important mom things.

(Do you like my new term – Mom Things? Moms know what they are — cooking, cleaning, feeding, changing, getting everyone up, getting everyone to bed, dishes, homework, activities, loving, snuggling, managing a family… All the Mom Things.)

Yesterday, we talked about WHY you need leverage in your network marketing business. You don’t want to be tied to your phone or computer for eight hours a day. You picked a network marketing business to get away from that. Today, let’s learn what will give you more leverage.

7 online network marketing tools

Your business needs marketing to get the word out and bring in new leads. Once your online marketing tools are set up, they work your business while you do other things. Don’t worry about how to set them up yet. Just know there are many options to leverage your time and you can add them when the time is right.

1. A Blog

This is my favorite online marketing tool. It’s cheap. It’s relatively fast and easy to set up. I set this one up in a couple hours. Granted, it looks like poop right now (see below), but the perfect layout and fancy graphics can be added later.

Seriously, so bad!

A blog is one of the few things YOU OWN online. Your Facebook account or Youtube videos can be removed at any time. With a blog, you own the content. Every time you post, that’s another soldier in your network marketing army working to build relationships and bring in leads for you.

2. Social Media

Facebook posts, Live videos, YouTube videos, and Instagram pictures are fun and effective ways to connect with your audience, your friends, and potential friends. Social media has a huge reach. I can reach hundreds of thousands of people through Facebook. Instagram is low resistance – your followers see your post, but it’s not pushy.

The downside of social media is it doesn’t last long. You have to post daily, but if you’re on social media anyway, it only takes a few minutes. There are also services that allow you to schedule your posts, so you could do a week’s worth of posts in a 1/2 hour.

3. Videos

Videos are little versions of you, talking to your audience nonstop. When your prospects hear your voice and see who you are, they like you and trust you. They feel like they know you. When you get on the phone with them and start working with them, they already know who they’re dealing with. And you didn’t have to put in hours on the phone. Huge leverage.

4. Websites

Besides a blog, websites are other sites recruiting and teaching your people. This could be your company website, a training page for your team, a lead capture page (more on those below), a sales page, or a facebook group. You’re only limited by your imagination.

5. Lead Capture Pages

Lead capture pages are webpages that collect a prospect’s name and email address. They usually offer something of value in return their email address, like a free report or a free training video, to join your email list. Once someone is on your mailing list, you can continue talking to them about your niche and your company.

Your email list is another resource that YOU OWN online and can be very valuable. If you provide value to your list, they will continue to read your emails, buy from you and a some will join your team.

There are services that make it easy to build these pages. You don’t have to be computer programmer to use lead capture pages for your online network marketing efforts.

6. Presentations

You can use online tools to deliver your network marketing business presentations. Now, don’t think you’ll never give a presentation again or that you can build a team without talking to people. You still have to connect with people, but online presentations can do the heavy lifting for you. You can let prospects watch your company’s online presentation or you can create your own. This would be very powerful since it would be delivered by you via video. It could be a “professional”, serious presentation, or a relaxed chat by your fireplace.

7. Online Ordering

Does your company offer online ordering for your products? Mine is an “online franchise” and the orders are all placed online, either by me or by my customers and consultants. I don’t carry any inventory or ship any products. This is becoming more common for many companies. It’s so convenient to not have to be sitting in front of a computer or even be at home to do business. If I’m traveling, on vacation, or out of internet service, my business can go on by letting customers and consultants go to my webpage and place their orders. That’s time saved and money earned.

This gives you some ideas of online networking marketing tools you can leverage in your business to earn more and save time for the most important people in your life. Remember, don’t worry if you don’t know what they are or how to use them. Just know there are tools available to make your business easier when you’re ready for them.
