A famous entrepreneur, whose name I can't remember anymore, once said that if you can't leave your business, you don't have a business, you have a job. What he meant was that if you have to take care of your business 24/7 or you're not making any money, you just have another job. A business has to be organized in a way that you can leave and the business still makes money in its own.
For the past few months I worked very hard to automate my business. From a series of connecting autoresponders to a fully automated ordering and delivery system, everything is working without me doing a thing. Even the support is automated and I only have to take care of things if there’s a problem. This means that checking my email once every other day is absolutely the most I do. This way I can spot a problem right away and take action if necessary.
The Power Blog is a perfect example of automation at its best. New members can sign up and upgrade their membership 24/7. The Index points are automatically calculated and the autoresponder series follows up with new members. If a member gets a new member in his/her downline, the system sends an email right away. All this happens without any manual interaction.
Imagine this, I’m away from my business for quite some time and the Power Blog is able to reach a new milestone without me. 400 members are now actively registered in this unique affiliate promotion system. While I’m away I also created a new JV with Roger Clark’s Internet Business Buddy system. This is a great new and free service geared towards newbies and internet marketers that failed in the past. Well, don’t get offended, most internet marketers are failing at some point in their career, but only the winners will admit it and learn from their mistakes. Roger will show you how to avoid these mistakes and he does it for free. A detailed review of the Internet Business Buddy system will be posted soon.
Well, what does this have to do with automation? A whole lot! Remember, I’m still away from my business, out of the country actually. And I’m able to keep my business going and expanding at the same time. Take a look at the Power Blog for example. As a member of the Power Blog you get a fully automated system at your fingertips and best of all; it is absolutely free. I personally use the Power Blog to do the hard work for me.
I can’t tell you how to automate your business with this short article, but I will tell you that you need to automate your business if you want to have a chance to make any money online. I make most of my money when I least expect it. Not when I send out a promotion to thousands of subscribers and not when I spend money on one time ezine advertising. No, most of my orders happen in the middle of the night on products I didn’t even advertise at that time. Actually last night I sold a product I didn’t remember I had. I set up this site over 2 years ago and I still get orders once in a while. Without automation I wouldn’t be able to do this.
The online business is a strange business. I still can’t figure it out, but since I make money I don’t care. But whatever you do or try to do, you should check out the Power Blog and its powerful system. Join for free and take full advantage of it, you will not regret it.
Until next time and take care,
Peter Dobler
