Automation is the key for any successful business online. The term automation simply means "don't do anything repetitive that can be done on "auto-pilot". And believe me when I tell you, you can automate many aspects of your business very easily.
The key to automation is having the right software program to do the task.
Unfortunately, most programs out on the market that actually do this effectively are quite expensive.
I personally recommend setting up an account with AWeber Communications. For $19.95 a month you need this system working for you to be successful! Plus... they do have their 30 DAY RISK FREE TRIAL!
Don't immediately go to their website and setup an account. WAIT! Get all your ducks in a row first. Once you feel you’re ready to open the flood gate, that’s the time to get setup. This way you'll have your 30 day RISK FREE period to test drive their system. And I promise you, once you setup your account and put the wheels in motion, it will be the first bill you pay each and every month! It's that powerful!
Now, onto the automation process....
There are so many aspects of your business that need to be automated. For instance, your subscription "Sign Up" form. This can be setup to automatically send a "Thank You for Subscribing" email to your new prospects without you ever lifting a finger.
Hmm.... what a great place to also place a subtle BACK DOOR AD... AHHH!
Now you're thinking like the SALESPERSON you need to be!
What about your newsletter subscription? This can be automated as well! Their system will automatically add and remove subscribers, and follow up with them at predetermined intervals you set to stay in touch.
And here's a clever idea... How about customer service? You can setup a variety of email addresses in their system and the system will automatically email an immediate response if an inquiry is sent to that email address.
So how can you use this to your advantage? Why not setup various email address for the following:
- FAQ's
- FREE Reports
- Product Lists
- Price Lists
-- An OFFLINE SALE CATALOG - WOW! Now there's a concept! You can have a special sales catalog that is only available through email! Now, you have a prospects email address and you can follow up with them through the AWeber System AUTOMATICALLY without ever lifting a finger. Their system will even mail the attachment for you.
-- Complaint Desk - We all know that we can't please 100% of our customers, 100% of the time. Customers like to know there's a way to contact the owner direct and voice their complaint. You could setup an email address for yourself personally, and draft a pre-written email letting an unsatisfied customer know that you are personally looking into their problem. They, in turn, receive an immediate response to their complaint, and you have some time to then look into the issue and follow up with them either via email or phone. I guarantee you this unsatisfied customer will be a lot MORE satisfied with that kind of TOP NOTCH Service!
Those are just a few tips and ideas that you can start using today, therefore giving you more time to spend on other aspects of your business...

A Guru Gives Free Live Online Training
Last week, Internet marketing guru Derek Gehl issued a challenge...
If people stopped by his blog and told him what their #1 obstacle with making money on the Internet was, he'd help them overcome them, for FREE!
I've just heard from Derek, and it sounds like he's been REALLY busy reading everybody's submissions (looks like he got 4,596 of them!).
Anyway... now that he's finished reading all of the challenges, he's concluded that the absolute easiest way to help everyone succeed is with LIVE ONLINE TRAINING.
So here is what he's doing...
Next Tuesday, October 21st from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. (Pacific Daylight Time), Derek's going to run a massive LIVE training webinar... FOR FREE!
This mega-webinar will be four hours long, and will address the biggest challenges people are having making money online... and it will be absolutely jam-packed with hands-on tips and strategies.
Derek promises to spill his guts and transfer as much of his knowledge as humanly possible...
... but his webinar company only allows 1,000 spaces for the event, so to hold your place, you need to register immediately.
To register, just take a minute right now to go to:
Derek Gehl's Free Live Online Webinar
As soon as you register, you'll receive a confirmation email from Derek (if you're one of the first 1,000 to register), guaranteeing you a place on the free webinar, along with details of how to access it next Tuesday.
Register for one of the limited number of spaces today at:

Make Money With Your 404 Error Page...
Have you ever visited a website, but typed in the wrong url after the domain name? What did you see?
Chances are you saw a generic page that said something like, "The page cannot be displayed," or "Not Found," or "The requested URL was not found on this server."
This is what is more commonly known as the 404 Error Page. It's the page that shows up by default when someone "accidentally" types in the address of the page they are looking for on your site incorrectly.
Now, in many cases, it truly happens by mistake. However, in many other instances, people end up on this page because they are snooping around trying to look for your
download page or thank you page without having to pay or opt-in. Kind of shady, but people do it.
Why, not capitalize on it whether they are doing it purposely or they are truly ending up there by accident. If you have your own website and it gets traffic, some
of your visitors are ending up on that page. Now, if they are seeing the generic message that their browser shows them when it happens, then you are not making
good use of your web real estate.
Every page of your website can put money in your pocket. Even your 404 error page. You can customize that page just like any other page on your website.
Some ideas to utilize on that page include:
- Making a special offer at a discounted price.
- Having it be a squeeze page.
- Making it an AdSense page.
- Redirecting it to a related affiliate product.
Those are just a few of the many different, yet profitable types of ways you can make good use of your 404 error page.
It won't make you rich, but it definitely will put some extra money in your account. Maybe it will help you pay one of your bills, or you can just reinvest it into your
business.
Either way, if you don't customize this page, you can be leaving money on the table. Having something for your visitors to see that end up on that page is extremely more
beneficial to you then not having anything on that page.
Here's to making good use of every page on your website.
Check It Out, It's FREE
