The 5 AI Tools I Use to Run My Network Marketing Business (and How You Can Too)
If you're trying to run your network marketing business with sticky notes, your iPhone notes app, and a dream… let’s upgrade that real quick. 🙃
In 2025, smart systems and AI tools aren’t “nice-to-haves” — they’re your competitive edge.
Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on the 5 AI tools I personally use to save time, increase visibility, connect with leads, and scale more effortlessly. Whether you’re a solo entrepreneur or building a massive affiliate team, these tools will help you show up consistently, communicate clearly, and operate like a pro — without burnout.
💡 1. ChatGPT – My Digital Brainstorming Partner
I call ChatGPT my “on-demand creative team.” It’s not just a chatbot — it’s my assistant for:
Generating blog post outlines and hooks
Drafting follow-up messages to prospects
Creating social media captions that convert
Turning long-form content into reels, scripts, or email copy
Brainstorming headlines, product names, and training modules
I even use it to refine my client coaching, especially when helping them improve bios, course copy, or recruiting templates. For network marketers, this tool removes the friction between “I have a message” and “I don’t know how to say it.”
💬 Bonus Tip: Try prompts like “Write a welcome message for my new team member who just joined my affiliate program. Make it warm, enthusiastic, and 100 words.”

⚙️ 2. GoHighLevel – My Business-in-a-Box Automation System
This one’s my secret weapon.
GoHighLevel (aka GHL) powers everything behind the scenes:
Funnels, CRM, follow-ups, SMS campaigns, bookings, pipeline tracking, and even my blog system.
What I love most? I’ve built workflows inside GHL that:
Onboard new leads automatically
Nurture customers post-purchase
Send pre-written emails or texts when someone clicks a link or joins a challenge
Track conversions and team activity
It's basically like cloning yourself. And if you’re part of Frequense, you already know I created Freq Suite — a plug-and-play GoHighLevel system that gives our affiliates pre-built, compliance-approved marketing tools, funnels, and follow-up flows.
🔁 This is where “systems create freedom” becomes real. You can literally enroll someone while you’re at the beach.
✍️ 3. Canva Magic – Design That Feels Like Me
We all want to show up visually — especially on Instagram, Reels, and presentations. But here’s the truth:
You don’t need to be a designer. You need Canva + AI.
I use Canva Pro’s AI tools like:
Magic Write to create content descriptions
Magic Design to instantly style social posts
AI-powered resize and layout suggestions
Background remover and auto-brand kit
When I’m prepping a webinar, lead magnet, or weekly content plan, Canva is my first stop. And because it pulls from my saved colors, fonts, and logo — everything still feels like “me,” even if AI helped do the heavy lifting.
✨ AI design = speed + consistency = more brand trust + more sales
🔎 4. Perplexity AI – My Research Assistant That Actually Cites Sources
If you’ve ever Googled for 20 minutes trying to find a stat, trend, or fresh idea for content… try Perplexity.
It’s like ChatGPT, but with real-time web results, links to sources, and built-in summarization. I use it to:
Find stats for my blog or slides
Stay up to date on wellness trends, AI, or affiliate marketing
Summarize long articles or training replays
Learn what questions people are asking right now
🎯 This tool helps me create content that’s topical, timely, and AI-friendly — because staying relevant keeps your brand visible.
🎥 5. Descript – AI for Video, Podcasting, and Personal Branding
When I started podcasting (hello, Real Talk with Donna Valdes!), I knew I needed a way to edit video/audio without tech stress.
Descript is the answer.
It lets me:
Edit video like a Google Doc
Cut “ums” and pauses automatically
Transcribe content instantly
Add dynamic captions to Reels and Shorts
Even clone my voice for podcast touch-ups
This is especially powerful if you're building a personal brand and want to show up more on video — without hiring an editor or spending hours in iMovie.
🎙️ If you're teaching, coaching, or selling — Descript lets you sound polished while staying authentic.
📌 Summary: These 5 AI Tools Help Me...
Save 10+ hours/week on content and follow-up
Show up consistently (even on busy weeks)
Convert more leads into team members and customers
Look professional without outsourcing everything
Build a business that feels aligned and scalable
