Top 5 Productivity Tools for Network Marketers and Online Marketers

Wed, Nov 4, 2009

Business Secrets, Social Media

Developing a serious business online, especially if you are a network marketing or online marketing professional or would like to be can take a tremendous amount of time.

Social media is an awesome tool for building relationships but it  can be very time consuming.

Many of the tasks are repetitive and definitely not time efficient.  And as you bring on new clients and business partners, they require special TLC (Tender, Love, Care).  Otherwise, there can be a lot of frustration.

I have selected several productivity tools that I use almost every day.

You will find them simple and easy to use.  They will save you a ton of time.  You’ll create free time out of thin air so you can do the important things like building stronger relationships and ultimately make more money!

Free Download Manager – It’s FREE

If you are like me you are downloading lots of products or ebooks, clicking and waiting can be a real hassle and a BIG time waster.  This little tool will help you use your time more wisely and enhance your productivity.

It’s called Free Download Manager and it rocks!

It is a powerful, easy-to-use download accelerator and manager.  Be sure to download today and get more time efficient. You can download at:

Smart Type Assistant – $9.95stabox

This is one of my favorite tools.

Do you type the same phrases over and over again? Think about all the friend requests you make in your social networks or follow up emails you send to prospects or business partners.

What if you had an easy tool to with a couple of keystrokes would complete a sentence for you or an entire email?  How cool would that be?

Here’s an example. When I type the letters: cs

Here is what Smart Type Assistant will type for me…

Let’s connect in Social Media!

Here’s my info, what’s yours?

http://twitter.com/terrypetrovick

http://YouTube.com/terrypetrovick

http://TerryPetrovick.com

How cool is that? I also have other short key sequences that type entire emails!

This is a big time saver!

If you often mistype, like I do… Smart Type Assistant will correct it for you. It only works on Windows operating systems.  Sorry Mac folks.

Key features are Clipboard Spellcheck, Autoreplace (expanding short keywords into full phrases), Autocorrect (common typing errors, two initial capitals, and accidental usage of the Caps Lock key), and various operations with the selected text, pasting large text pieces with a hotkey, Clipboard History and much more.  You can download at:

Team View 4  – It’s FREEstartpageTop_en

Have you had a team member or client who is having a problem on their computer and you wished you could go over to their house but they live across town or across the ocean?

What if you could take control of their computer and show them exactly how to do what you have been telling to do over the phone?

You could reduce frustration and improve productivity!

Team Viewer establishes connections to any computer within just a few seconds. You can remote control your partner’s computer as if you were sitting right in front of it.  This REALLY helps when you are helping a new person get started no matter what system they are using.  You can download at: http://www.TeamViewer.com

You have to have this next tool.

Tidy Favorite- It’s Freetidy_favorites_se_internet_web_browsers-69670

Tidy favorite organizes your bookmarks!

You can organize your favorite links as thumbnails instead of trying to work through plain-text links, which are hard to read through and find.

I have created folders for my major projects then I place my links in them.  Some of my folders include these titles: 7 Figure Networker, Social Media networks, My Website Development, Affiliate Stuff, Personal Development, Financial…you get the point.

Basically any website that you like or want to keep an eye on can be store in one of these easy to access folders on your desktop.

It’s intuitively organized. I love being able to quickly glance through the list of Web shots to find my favorite sites. With Tidy Favorites, you are not limited to any one browser – take your bookmarks with you and use them in IE, Firefox, and Opera at the same time! You can download it at:  http://www.TidyFavorites.com/

Mikogo – It’s FREEmikogo-logo

If you want to host a small online meeting without paying through the teeth then look no further.

Mikogo is a free desktop sharing tool (just like GoToMeeting) full of features to assist you in conducting the perfect online meeting or web conference.

Take advantage of the opportunity to share any screen content or application over the Internet in true color quality with up to 10 participants simultaneously, while still sitting at your desk.

At any point during your free desktop sharing session, you are able to send an invitation to a session participant offering them to take the role of presenter. Upon acceptance the viewing direction will switch, enabling the participant to become the presenter and share their screen. Naturally, you may switch between different presenters as often as required.  You can download at:  http://www.mikogo.com

I hope you start using these tools right away.  I promise you they will save you a ton of your time.

    Hey Terry,

    Your productivity tips arrived at the perfect time, for me! I’ve just read “The 4-Hour Workweek” and need to become more effective, not just more efficient. These tips will help me do that… thanks!

    Could def use the one that auto corrects typing. I go to fast and well ya know the rest of it ;)

    You had asked for suggestions of other tools. I have one I love. (not free) And not really a ‘tool’ as such but one of the most important pieces of any successful puzzle imo. I’m back in the gym after years of not working out because my talking, empowering screen saver (living vision board) told me how in shape I was. :) So my sub. mind started opening that path and it took me back to the gym. vbdaily.com Very effective.

    Hi Terry,

    Great post. I also use Evernote which I find very useful. I write my notes etc down on paper as I think of them and then transfer them to Evernote last thing at night or first thing in the morning.

    I can take a photo of a business card on my iphone and send it to evernote. I can then do a text search for text within images or documents and find things very quickly.

    Some of the tools you provided are excellent and I hadn’t heard of them before.

    Just one quick note that I noticed. When I clicked on one of your links, it didn’t open in a new page. I find that if you make a link open in the same page, people go off to the new site and forget about you…

    But, if you open in a new window, when they’ve finished browsing the recommended site, they can come back to your page and site :-)

    Just a little tip I use on my blog.

    Cheers

    Hey Terry,

    Great tools. As far as webinars go Mikogo is pretty cool. However, it seemed the only option for audio was a conferencing service, correct me if I’m wrong here. A similar service that provides audio over the web is dimdim (http://www.dimdim.com). Another free non affiliate tool that you can use. :-)
