Automation Secrets

 Automating your business may not seem that important when you start your internet business, but as your website and internet marketing develops you can easily be overwhelmed. Another good reason to automate from the start is simply to ensure you spend your time on the most important tasks. If you are not careful you will find that instead of having a business, you have a job that is you never find the time to search and expand new business and opportunities.

The secret to automation is to use the right software for the right job. Each piece of software will save you huge amounts of time, but does come with a cost. The point is that it becomes cost effective as it saves you so much time, and carries out tasks that you physically would find impossible.

Have you ever looked at your email inbox and wondered what percentage of emails you actually wanted to receive? Or that are important for your business to function and grow? Email will very rapidly escalate out of control. Thus you will need to automate your email and business processes as soon as possible.

For this we use and recommend the following Email Automation software http://www.marketingtips.com/mailloop/t.x/867904.The software fully automates many areas of our business features are explained below:

• customer in a special "custom" database -- without ANY technical know-how!

• Build your list from zero to 1,000s of opt-in subscribers with just a few steps!

• Never be wrongly accused of spamming again and avoid having up to 50% (or more!) of your messages instantly "trashed" by your subscribers -- automatically!

• Use a "confirmed opt-in system" to protect yourself from "phony" subscription requests!

• Manage an unlimited number of lists at no extra cost, and avoid having your growth restricted by email marketing systems that'll only let you host ONE email list.

• Send yourself "test" messages at multiple "test accounts" -- automatically. Always be 100% certain that your messages do NOT contain embarrassing mistakes!

• Automatically make sure subscribers receive email in the format best suited for the email client they're using -- HTML or Text -- using Multi-Part MIME technology!

• View any subscriber's "Contact History" and instantly know which emails, newsletters, and autoresponders you've sent them -- and when!

• Automatically distribute all of your e-Books and registration codes -- or any other product you may offer that can be delivered electronically!

• Process your "subscribes" and "unsubscribes" in real-time -- automatically -- and never waste another minute on this time-consuming list-management chore.

The Email Automation Software features are awesome, and once you get to grips with the program the possibilities for automating chores are endless. Just think about the possibilities of sending out a number of emails for sales on an autoresponder series (sent out automatically when you set timer for each email), and then when customer subscribes to your list or buys a product, they get personalized email. Also if you are selling E-books your codes for E-book software download, can be sent automatically. The opportunities are endless.

This brings us nicely to our next piece of software: http://www.ebookpro.com/t.cgi/867904. If you are selling E-books then you will need to ensure you have a safe form of delivering your book, safe from copyright theft. This is a real threat, why spend many hours writing your unique publication, only to allow someone else to copy it and sell it. The problem is global and not easy to deal with one it has happened to you. Prevention is better than cure, if you intend selling an E-book then do not try to shortcut this area, it is very important to your long term security.

If you decide to run accounts (many offshore businesses have no accounting requirement) then using the Global 7 website building software can generate and send an Invoice to the customer. Alternatively, you can import account information into QuickBooks (www.quickbooks.com).

Some other useful software is mentioned at resources, that will help you run your business, but the above mentioned programs are the main tools we use for automating our website.
