Below are the 5 Must Have Tools for an Online Business:

Facebook Business Page…

if you are a business owner, you must have a business page. You cannot do any ads or even google to pick up your post from your personal Facebook page. Business is Business and Personal is Personal. Let’s stop confusing the two on social media. With a Business page, you have a lot more tools to assist you in reaching your ideal client.

Online Payment System…

you cannot receive if you do not have a means to receive. Why do all your strategies, ads, marketing to get clients and then scramble to receive their money. That is like going to a store and then go up to cash out and they do not have a cash register. They just focused on getting people in their store. Sound Crazy right!?!

Signature Product/Program…

this is not a tool, but it is very crucial to have. You must have something sell to people. What are you in business for? That was rhetoric! It does not have to be totally flushed out word for word. But you should have the framework done and at least the first module ready to go.

Client Relationship Management System…

this tools is where you will house your email list. Do not get so wrapped up in having a huge social media following that you neglect to have people on your email list. Now don’t get me wrong, you need to grow your followers on your social media platform. But what will happen if Facebook went away tomorrow? If you did not work to have a people on your email list, you my darlin’ are out of business. But if you have people on your email list, you can still sell to them, market to them, nurture them, motivate them. Most importantly you still have a business.
