Automation tools are designed to streamline your business, so you’re free to focus on the more important aspects of building and managing your projects. Having a solid business system in place will help you expand your outreach so that you’re actively recruiting new business rather than being caught up in the day-to-day tasks of simply running the show.

There are many different areas of your business that can be automated, including:

Set Up A Help Desk

Customer Support often takes up the majority of our time during the day. Customers need prompt support, and it’s our job to make sure that they receive it. But regardless of how many support requests you receive each day, you can take measures to better manage your customer support department, while minimizing lost time.

For starters, you should re-route all support requests directly through a help desk, rather than receiving them via email. That way, if you later create a support team, all requests will go directly to them, rather than to you. Second, it’s a lot easier to manage support requests when they are all organized in one area, rather than sorting through your inbox, trying to prioritize support requests.

This help desk software can handle thousands of customer support requests, emails and tickets, all organized based on department. You will be able to log into one main area and manage all support tickets, or assign staff to specific departments. This is a fantastic way to cut back on the time you spend managing customer support issues, while still making sure that your customer’s are given prompt and reliable support!

Shopping Cart Systems

There is no better or faster way to set up your online store, implement payment links or manage distribution and delivery of your products than with a powerful shopping cart system.

Shopping carts streamline the checkout process, making it easy for your customer’s to purchase multiple products from your website without having to go through the checkout process over and over again. This will also minimize abandon carts, because your customer’s will be able to purchase as many different products during one simple session.

VIP Shopping Cart makes it easier than ever to create payment links for all of your products, while providing your website visitor’s with a simple interface that will guide them through the entire checkout process. When it comes to installation, you don’t need to know any HTML or programming in order to set up the entire shopping cart system because this powerful shopping cart software will take care of everything for you!

This shopping cart system will also help you manage your time in another way, because it offers your customer’s the opportunity to review their past orders, download current products and manage their order history, saving you a tremendous amount of time by not having to deal with support tickets requesting help with their orders!

You can also mass upload your entire product library, rather than having to spend hours manually uploading individual items. Furthermore, you can highlight certain products, offer daily deals, feature coupons and specials and offer both digital and physical products on your website.

Take advantage of automation tools to speed up your tasks and efficiently manage your business so that you’re able to focus on growing your business and maximizing your income!

Eliminate Profit Loss

Do you know the easiest way of eliminating lost profits?

Focus only on the things that make you money!

Sounds like common sense, right? Yet many of us get caught up on spending vast amounts of time working on tasks that never result in profit. We spend countless hours dealing with the day-to-day aspects of running our business that we actually lose money because our time is mismanaged.

As entrepreneur’s, we should only focus on the tasks and projects that will result in an increase in profit. Otherwise, we need to either outsource it OR eliminate it altogether.

Sometimes it’s not always easy to identify areas of profit loss, because they’re not as obvious as you may think.

For example, when you plan out a project, do you know how to trim the fat? While it’s important to always go the extra mile when creating valuable products that our market will respond to, it’s easy to go off the deep end, spending far too much time expanding on content, increasing the project length, or adding in a ton of “extras” that quickly chew up a large portion of our allocated time.

When that happens, we end up with an inflated project that we struggle to complete, or worse, we end up not finishing at all.

So, when creating your project outlines, be careful to create a full outline of everything that you plan to cover and include and when it’s complete - push it out.

Market ready doesn’t have to mean perfect - you can always tweak and improve your product based on the feedback from your market.

Minimize Long-Term Goals

Long-term goals often stifle the creative process because rather than being focused on your short-term goals, you are far too busy thinking about what you “plan to do”.

Successful people focus on the here and now. They come up with an idea for a product, and they assign a short-term time frame to get it done. That way, the idea is still fresh in their minds and the product is still relevant at the time of completion.

Long-term goals are also self-limiting in regards to allocated time. If you set out to do a project that you don’t plan to release for a year, by the time that year is up, chances are you’ve lost interest or focus on that project. And in most competitive markets, a project that takes a year to complete isn’t likely to be in demand as it was a year earlier.

While it’s perfectly fine to think about the long-term outlook for your business overall, when it comes to specific projects, you want to do your best to focus on your current objectives and goals.

Work towards short-term goals that contribute to the long-term process of building an evergreen, successful business. Tackle each project individually, setting a reasonable time frame for completion and outsource everything you can afford to, that does not require your full attention. Free yourself up to profit, and to succeed.

If you're involved in affiliate marketing, we're going to show you a fast and easy way to instantly maximize your commission-based income.

You know how other affiliates are simply directly potential customer's through their links straight to the merchant's website? Well, not only are they decreasing their commissions because they're failing to give customer's a reason WHY they should purchase the product, but they are losing out on a very powerful opportunity to build their own businesses and further their own brand, while making money promoting third party products!

You see, those who work hard to become trustworthy, recognized affiliate marketer's always make more money than those who simply direct people through their affiliate links. It might sound like a lot more work to work on building awareness within your market as a trusted source, but by doing so you'll be able to maximize your income while setting yourself up for long-term success.

Here's one of the easiest ways to warm up potential buyers and create an irresistible offer that they can't refuse: Give them more bang for their buck!

Bonus offers need to tie in directly with what's being offered and offer CLEAR and DIRECT value. In fact, your bonus offer should always include a “value price” associated with it, so that potential customers know exactly what the bonus is worth, and how much money they are able to save by purchasing through your affiliate link. ?

Your bonus offer needs to be either exclusive, limited or both. In many cases, your bonus offer will be THE leading factor in whether a potential customer chooses to purchase the product through your affiliate link or someone else’s, so you need to spend some time creating a compelling offer that is not only valuable, but irresistible! ??With exclusive bonus offers, no other affiliate can replicate your offer because you own full rights to what is being offered.

This may include unique reports, content or video tutorials that you either created yourself, or hired out to freelancers.

With limited bonuses, you are offering access to your offer only for a limited time, or to a limited number of customers. This employs the ‘scarcity’ tactic, which motivates people into taking quick action because they don’t want to miss out on a great deal. ? ?It’s very important to use ‘motivators’ with every bonus offer.

If people feel that there’s no rush, or no exclusivity to the bonus, chances are they’ll continue looking around for a better or bigger bonus, offered by another affiliate, so take your time when creating your bonus and make certain that it’s relevant, and extends the value of their main purchase.

For example, your bonus offers should serve as auxiliary components to the main product. If you were promoting BloggingToTheBank.com, you could offer bonus items that included Wordpress themes, Wordpress video tutorials, or maybe content packs that new bloggers could use to jumpstart their websites.

Analyze the product you are promoting and determine what is missing or lacking in the main product. Then, create your bonus product around that unfilled need or demand.

When creating your bonus product, you don't have to develop it yourself. You can minimize costs by using high quality private label content, or other types of content that allows for distribution. You can then create compilations from existing material, or develop extensive bundles, collections and packages that fit with the product you are promoting.

Boost Conversion Rates

So, you might not be the best copywriter on the planet. That doesn't mean that you can't maximize conversion rates with just a couple simple 'tweaks' to your sales pages. In fact, many of us absolutely struggle with creating copy, but if you're unable to outsource the work to experienced copywriters, you're stuck wading through paragraphs of copy, trying to drive up response rates.

The truth is, there is a very simple guideline to creating great copy, and while it's important to test your copy (split testing is key), you can easily create a high converting page just by following these tips:

1 - Speak TO your audience, not at them.

Your copy needs to hit home, as if you are talking personally, and directly to each visitor. Avoid the hype - gimmick based phrases never work at driving home your message. You want your copy to be authentic to who you are, and what you have to offer.

Be honest, and keep your copy focused on how your audience benefits from what you are offering. Great copy is all about pushing hot buttons and crafting your sales copy so that it speaks to their wants and needs.

2 - Know your audience

This goes without saying. If you know your audience, you know what makes them tick. Since your copy needs to cover the most important needs, wants and desires, it's important that you write your copy from your customer's perspective. Focus on benefits, not features. Tell them why they need your product and write your copy in such a way that your audience feels as though you created your product just for them.

3 - Break it up

Avoid run-on paragraphs and sentences. You need to keep copy tight, and on topic. Paragraphs should never run more than four lines, and do your best to break it up so that you are offering 1-3 short paragraphs before injecting bullet points, a sub title, an image, graph, or anything else that keeps them glued to the page.

Long pages of text can be overwhelming to a visitor who wants a quick snapshot of what you are offering, and whether it's what they are looking for or not, so keep page skimmers in mind and create your copy (even long copy) around those who read - scroll - read. Not only will your copy be stronger but it will be far easier to write.

4 - Implement multiple call to action prompts

Many new copywriters make the mistake of only including one order button at the bottom of the sales page, assuming that people will either read the entire page or they'll simply scroll to the bottom.

You should always implement multiple call to action prompts throughout your copy, weaving urgency within the different sections of your copy. This is also a great way to try out different call to action commands, such as "Order Now", or "Buy Now" or "Click Here For Instant Access", and so on.

You can monetize PLR very easily with a membership-site model. Here's how it works:

You build a simple subscription based website that offers customers access to content on a weekly or monthly basis (I always stick with monthly because from my experience they are easier to sell)

You repackage PLR content either into "personal use products" or if you are planning on reselling the PLR rights, you will want to decide on one type of package and stick to it.

Example: You could build a membership site that offers PLR to reports that come with squeeze pages, or to a business in a box package that includes everything from a sales page to an ebook. Just the same, you could start a PLR article website that offers direct access to 50 articles a month, with PLR rights.

Whatever you decide to offer is what you will need to stick with, as members will expect the same content type (and amount) every month.

Membership PLR sites usually go above and beyond by offering bonuses, extra content, freebies and incentives that keep members subscribed to the site. Since there are so many different avenues in which a customer can purchase PLR content, you want to give subscribers a clear reason as to why they should stick with you.

You can create strong benefits easily just by offering more - for less, or by hiring a freelance writer to create small packages of custom content that are only available to your members!

Your membership site may need a specific focus, depending on what you plan to offer. If you are offering PLR rights to content, you should decide whether you are covering a wide market (such as marketing or design), or a more specific niche market (weight loss, PLR, etc).

I've been using MemberSpeed for years and have been absolutely satisfied with it, not to mention how happy my members are simply because it's not only easy to use but you can really customize your website around what is most important to your customers.

In addition, MemberSpeed can be easily enhanced with plugins giving you the opportunity to expand your membership offer, build up a strong back-end, monetize through many different channels and much, much more. It truly is one of the most powerful, feature-rich and SIMPLE membership systems online.

Selling PLR - No Cost Set Up

If you can't afford to purchase membership scripts, download delivery clients or you just want to start off at the lowest cost possible, there are a few different ways to build a bare-bones website that sells PLR or PLR based products.

For a Membership PLR site, if you can’t afford DLG, then here’s how you do it:

Log into PayPal and click Merchant Services at the top.

Click the Buy Now Button.

Choose Subscriptions from the drop down menu.

Give it an item name and customize your button - however, you want it to look.

Enter the billing amount for each cycle, and choose what a “cycle” is

Skip the Track Inventory Feature and enter any checkout page specifics you want for your subscribers and then create your button!

PayPal will handle your subscriptions, but you’ll be responsible for manually delivering via email the monthly deliverables to each PLR buyer - and make sure you do it with a BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) so that you’re not showing every buyer’s email address to the group.

You can set up your Squidoo lens with the introduction as your short sales copy, and then use Link Lists or whatever type of module (text, etc) that you want to showcase the different product categories that you offer.

Essential Tools

Regardless how you plan to monetize PLR content, whether you choose to create a PLR based store or you are planning to simply create information products from existing PLR content, you will want to create a web presence all your own. To do this, you need a professional hosting account.

I choose HostGator for a few reasons including the fact that they're affordable (one of the lower-cost hosting options online), reliable; have 24/7 customer support and they're VERY easy to use!

You can start out with a Hatchling Plan, but it only allows one site. It’s $8.95/month. I like to use the Baby Plan for $9.95/month because it allows unlimited sites.
