Automation is an important aspect for your online business to be a success.

So, how do we automate our online business?

There are a lot of tools available out there that we can use.

Let’s assume that your product is a video guide that is targeted to teenagers that is interested to learn skateboarding. So, the first thing that you will need is the sales letter creator software. It will come with a premade template and all you have to do is just fill in the blanks. Of course you can hire a freelancer to write it for you too. But for someone that just started their Internet Marketing journey, it would be better to do it by yourself and save the cost for your PPC campaigns later.

Next, you will need to make sure that you can accept online payments, product delivery and also invoicing. There are a lot of shopping cart software tools available out there. My preferred payment gateway would be PayPal. You can accept credit card payment with them too.

And then, you must do follow ups so that you can turn one time visitor into a customer. Trust me, you are losing money if you don’t do follow up.
You need to place a simple form to collect leads. Don’t ask for too much information because that’s a turn off. Just ask for their name and email address. Thats’ all. You can easily do follow ups by using either GetResponse or Aweber.

You should start your PPC campaigns only after you have done setting up all of the steps mention above. And when it comes to PPC campaigns, the first place that you need to go to is Google AdWords. Almost everyone use Google to search for information nowadays. I will highly recommend you to learn the right way to do Google AdWords campaign by visiting AdWords Excellence. There are a lot of great tools for premium members. You can have landing page templates, keyword research tools, and monthly sites that you can refer to. In fact, there’s a special section where Stewart will reveal how he made $200 per week on autopilot.

But most importantly, I manage to get as low as 7 cents minimum bid for my keywords after I go through the free guides that is available on AdWords Excellence! So, need I say more?

But then, you should think like your target market group and try to think where they will spend most of their time. One of the best place that you can go to is specialized forums that is created with the people in your target market in mind.

I will explain more about this on the next article. Stay tune for more marketing tips.
