If you belong to any home based business or network marketing business, you need to do more than simply get people to sign up to your generic marketing website. I have taken the liberty of listing some of the tools I use. They work for me, so they can work for you.
To professionally conduct business online, you need your own, personalized email address. Avoid using free email accounts such as Yahoo, Hotmail, or Gmail. If you use free email account, you wont be seen as dedicated or professional. It will be a LOT harder to make sales, as people will see you as somewhat of a scammer. M.J.Mascaro@mjmascaro.com looks far more professional when compared with m.j.mascaro@hotmail.com.
When you first register with a home business, you are given your own replicated website for bringing people to, if you aren’t…. WHY NOT? When i signed up with GRN, i selected my own domain name (www.joecorp1.com). You need to register a domain with hosting. The main reason for this being, you have unlimited customization options with your own website. Replicated sites only give you a certain amount of options.
To become effective and successful in marketing your home business, it is most important that you have access to the tools needed to make your business a successful one, without the right tools, you can’t succeed. A builder can’t build without his tools, a marketer cannot market without his.
You must make the home page of your new website an opt in page. This is to enable to obtain the contact details of everyone coming to your website. At this point, an auto responder is used to automate all the tasks of following up on customers. It also allows you to send broadcasts, announce company offers and get the names and emails as well as other personal details of everyone visiting your website. It keeps track of the number of people that open your emails, click on your promotional links, unsubscribe and allows you to manage everyone on your list seamlessly.
These are not just a few of the tools I use. This is IT. My own website and an auto responder, and nothing else. A home business is not as complicated as people may think, but it’s also not as easy as others think. On my team, we keep it simple, yet effective.
