5 Ways To Automate Your Site

By: Larry Johnson

Automating your online business is one of the most important
steps you can take to insure your success on the internet.

If you have been on the internet for any time at all, you know
that there are just too many tasks to do each day to be really
efficient and productive with them all.

Learning to delegate some of those routine, daily activities
is one way to insure your site's success and to give you much
more time in the day for the most important task which is that
of promotion and marketing your site.

HERE ARE 5 SIMPLE WAYS TO AUTOMATE TODAY:

1) USE AUTO-RESPONDERS:

Probably one of the best-known and popular ways to handle
routine messages to inquirers is the use of auto-responders.

It is simple and easy to set up your messages which usually
involve several follow-up messages to remind your visitors
what you are offering and how to find your site again.

Here are some free ones:

http://www.sendfree.com/'

2) MAILING LIST MANAGEMENT:

If you are trying to run your own newsletter, handling the process
by yourself can eat up a lot of valuable time.

In the beginning this may be possible, but as your list grows and
the tasks involved keep multiplying, your time demands will increase
also.

There are lots of ways to manage a mailing list including installing
your own scripts and purchasing your own software.

Weigh the pros and cons, but be sure and check out the possibility
of *farming out* the responsibility to a mailing list service.

Here are some to consider:

http://www.mail-list.com/
http://www.zinester.com/ (free and paid versions)

Free ones include:

http://groups.yahoo.com/
http://www.topica.com/

3) USE SOFTWARE:

There are many software options available depending upon your
work online.

Here are some possible software applications available. Just
do a search online.

~Creating links to your site and others.
~HTML editors
~Ad swaps
~Promotion
~Subscription management
~Survey forms

4) PAYMENT SYSTEMS:

Well, this is just a no-brainer. It is just too simple not to do this one.

Having an automated payment system that allows you to accept
credit card payments for your products or services and is something
that everyone has to have to be successful online.

Here are a couple of third-party ones that I use and recommend:

ClickBank-- http://www.ClickBank.com/
PayPal-- http://www.PayPal.com/

5) AD TRACKING SYSTEM:

If you are going to advertise your products and/or services online,
then it is critical that you track your results.

Knowing how many hits you got to your site is nice, but it won't
take care of your questions like, "Where did my traffic and sales
come from?"

Here are some ad tracking systems. (Some offer free versions.)

http://www.hypertracker.com/

Implementing these five time-saving helpers is a very important
benchmark in moving your business into a phase that will free up
some time to insure your success online.

Best of luck with your promotional efforts.
