You’ve probably heard other Internet marketers say this or you’ve probably received email advertising proclaiming “Amazing Profits With The Push Of A Button”! The first thing you ask yourself is how can I possibly make money by pushing a button?
The simple answer is you first have to automate your online home based business from the time people enter your website and sign up for your ezine to the point where they become paying customers by making a purchase. The next question that comes to mind is obviously: “How do I automate my online business?” This article will describe how to run your enterprise on autopilot.
Autoresponders are an Internet marketer’s best friend because without them running a successful home business on the web would be virtually impossible and at best a nightmare. Can you imagine trying to capture each of your visitor’s contact information and follow up with them individually immediately after signing up for your ezine?
Your email autoresponder not only builds your email list for you by capturing your guest’s email addresses but also follows up with them on a regular basis by delivering your bi-weekly magazine and any additional advertising you want to send, at times determined and set by you at your discretion.
Email advertising is a powerful Internet marketing tool which can create a need for your visitors and close sales for your home business on autopilot. By creating a series of email ads and loading them into your autoresponder to be delivered at specified intervals throughout the month you’re able to remind your former guest’s of any special promotions you may be running in order to entice them into becoming paying clients.
You can also automate your traffic by creating a pay per click campaign with either Google or Yahoo. The big advantage of using this strategy is you can set it and forget it. By telling your provider how much you’re willing to pay for each visitor they send your way and then setting a budget for your campaign which will stop delivering potential customers when the money runs out you can walk away. You only have to come back to check your sales stats and the amount of your remaining budget on a regular basis. This is automation at it’s finest.
Using clickbank is another terrific way to automate your home business because they very literally do all the work for you and your enterprise. They’re a tremendous vehicle to use for selling your product and you can also set up an affiliate program through their website and have affiliates selling for you as well. Clickbank will manage your program for you by providing the form you need to sign up your sales team, by tracking your clicks and sales and by paying your affiliates for you.
Internet marketer’s are always looking for ways to add fresh content to their website on a regular basis in order to maintain their friendship and their ranking with the major search engines online. A tremendous strategy to employ to accomplish this goal automatically is using RSS feeds. RSS or Really Simple Syndication is a way to display content from other websites on your home page automatically.
If you can find websites related to your home business theme who you feel have valuable content which is updated regularly you can subscribe to their RSS feed. When they update their content it automatically feeds into your site providing fresh information for your page to satisfy the search engine’s requirements.
So as you can see you can automate virtually every aspect of your online home based business. From closing sales, to driving traffic, to adding fresh content, to promoting your venture and paying your sales team automation provides the time you need to do the things you love while building your online business empire.
