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!

Smart Type Assistant – $9.95

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…

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 FREE

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

Tidy Favorite- It’s Free

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 FREE

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.
