First of all, we are going to begin by setting up some very basic accounts as a precursor to actually creating your own website and advertising it. Before we do anything else we are going to begin by establishing an online presence, which is essential to success in this industry.
Without an online presence no one will know you exist, let alone know you have something great to offer them! These basic, and FREE accounts, will become great tools for both generating leads and organizing your business.
The first thing you want to do, after choosing your primary opportunity (or network marketing business), will be to create two email accounts that are separate from your personal email. I recommend using Gmail as your email provider as it works well organizationally and works best with most ad sites. Don’t have a business? Find one HERE.
The first email you want to set up is your business email, the one from which you will send and receive messages about your home business. This will also be the email you give out on business cards and for other advertising purposes. You want this to be something catchy, but also professional. You can refer to your primary opportunity if you like, but I suggest against doing so.
One principal you need to understand is that you are not primarily selling your opportunity; rather you are branding yourself and your expertise in the field. Also, because you will have multiple streams of income, you will want to be able to use this email for a variety of opportunities.
The second account you want to create will be used for advertising sites. Ad sites can be quite helpful in providing traffic to your website, but you also must realize that in order to use many of them you must agree to receive email from them.
And they will send you A LOT of email. You will be receiving thousands of emails each day, and you don’t want that crowding your inbox. Go HERE to set up your Gmail accounts now!
Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook are all powerful networking tools, in fact, they are three of the most powerful networking tools on the World Wide Web. You will do well to utilize these free advertising opportunities.
The reason why I want you to set these up now rather than later is because some of the services we will be working with later will have options to post directly to both Twitter and Facebook; in this way you can post on one site and updates will automatically be posted here. It is easiest to have these already set up beforehand. This will make advertising in multiple places both affordable and easy.
To maximize the viewing potential of these accounts you should “follow” (Twitter), “connect” (LinkedIn) or “friend” (Facebook) others to your account.When people see you have followed or friended them it may intrigue them to also add you to their account and they will receive regular updates about your training and opportunities as you post them.
Add a few people each day to your accounts and watch as your networks grow! But don’t stress too much about implementing your campaigns just yet. We will go more in depth on these specific marketing options later in the report. To create your Twitter account click HERE. To create your LinkedIn account click HERE.

This is your final task for the day: Create your LastPass account. LastPass is a free service that automatically saves all of your usernames and passwords for every website that you visit. It is secure and you can choose for it to NOT save any websites that you prefer it not to save.
This is a powerful organizational and time-saving tool and is completely free. Eventually you will have thousands of accounts with advertising and other
websites, and with LastPass you don’t have to remember all of them or type them
in each time you visit. Trust me, you will thank yourself later! Click HERE to set
up your LastPass account.
