3 Must Have Tools For A Successful Business Online

Introduction:

You found my post because you have either recently started your own online business, or are struggling to see success in your online business.  Great news, because you are in the right place!  When I first started my online business as a beachbody coach I had no idea what I needed to do.  What I am about to tell you is going to save you a lot of time and frustration.  What would it mean to you if what I am about to teach you will allow you to spend more time with your family?  Sounds pretty good right?  Let's get started!!


Must Have Tool #1:  A Landing Page

Think of a A landing page like this.  Remember in the old days when you could get someone's contact information and put it into your PDA.  A landing page is very similar.  For instance, if you want to give away a free report on Tools you need for your business, you want to get their contact information, so you can follow up with them in a couple of days.  Make sense?

I have tried a number of different landing page programs such as Leadpages and Getresponse, and I have not found one that is better than Getresponse!  Their site is extremely easy to use, cost is very good, and they have good metrics to track your emails.  Check out Getresponse Here!


Must Have Tool #2:  Autoresponder

An autoresponder goes hand in hand with A landing page.  After you get someone's email address via the landing page, you want to be able to follow up with them in a couple of days.  With an autoresponder, you can follow up via email in an automated way.  Automated is key here, because you don't want to be stuck to your keyboard constantly to send emails.  If you have it automated, you will be able to spend more quality time with your family!  Check out Getresponse Here!



Must Have Tool #3:  An Attractive, functional Blog

You absolutely need a place for a person to go where they can learn more about you.  The fact of the matter is in this day and age, people need to trust you, before they are going to buy something from you.  The blog needs to look good, and also easy to navigate.  When you are creating a design for your blog, make sure it is mobile responsive.  Just about everyone is surfing the internet on their smartphone, so it is a real downer if your site is not mobile responsive.  If you are looking for a free blogging platform blogger is good, and bluehost is good for a paid option.  




Closing:

After reading this post I bet you are feeling a lot better about being successful in your business! Before reading this post, have you heard of these tools before?  If this post was helpful for you, please share with your friends on social media!  Have a great day!




To Your Success,
