Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to let go of all the tedious, repetitive tasks that you have to do every day and concentrate on getting the more important things done? You can. Let the software do the work for you and automate as much as you can.

Do you want to spend your valuable time doing things that you can get your software to do for you? Or would you rather spend your time doing the important things such as marketing, testing ads, promoting etc – the type of things that grow your business and make you money?

So often we find that there is not enough time to do the things that will make our business grow. Does spending time taking care of tedious daily tasks, like filling requests, getting information into your database and processing orders help your business to grow? Or would you rather be out there promoting your business so that you can generate more sales and growth and earn more money as well?

You can get software that will do much of the work for you - like automatically turning itself on before you get to work, checking your emails and handling all sorts of other tasks for you. This software will automatically process information requests; subscribe and unsubscribe people to your newsletter (if you have one); import your customers' order forms into your database; process autoresponders and e-mail forwarding requests.

By handling all these repetitive tedious jobs, it will leave your day free to do the important things. When you want to send an to e-mail to your customers or potential clients (to keep in touch, or to tell them about something of interest) you can get software that, at the push of a button, will automatically mail merge your entire customer database information into mass personalized e-mail e.g. “Hi George, thank you for inquiring about…………………….” This will save you so much time and effort, keeping in contact with your customers. You know the importance of "follow-up" offers and why it is critically important to stay in touch with your customers regularly.

The software that can do all these things will make your business very profitable indeed. You may know already that more than 50% of your net profits will come from follow-up offers, if done correctly.

You can also get software that will post your advertisements to many newsgroups every week. The list of things that software can do for you is never ending. You will find there is software out there that will do all these things that have been mentioned, and more.

If you have not already done so, think about it seriously. Automating your online business is the way to go!
