Automation is the key to making money while you sleep. It will enable you to recruit and/or sell whether you are sitting at your computer/phone/tablet, lying on the beach, taking a nap, having a fun day out with your family, in bed with the flu, at the hospital with a loved one, driving cross country, or anything else that you may choose to do with your time. If it is not a major goal of yours, it certainly SHOULD be!
There are tons and tons of automated systems out there that you can purchase, and if you have the funds for it- good for you! But for those of you who cannot afford a system like that, today I'd like to share how you can quickly and easily create your own automated system for your home business- for less than $5! Yes, FIVE buckaroos! Essentially what you will be doing is creating a capture page that is connected to an autoresponder. You will be sending all of your prospects to that capture page, so they will not be able to view your website until they have submitted their name and email address (this ensures that you see every single person who views your website, so no one falls through the cracks). Once they submit that info on the capture page, they are taken to your website. They get all of the information they need on your website. If they do not make a decision on the spot, your autoresponder stays in touch with them so they do not forget about you/your business/product/service/opportunity. If you have never used an automated system, this may sound a bit confusing. I promise you, it's actually very simple if you just follow the steps below. So let's get started, shall we? Step 1- Grab the url for your website. This may be a website provided by the company (typically called your referral link) or one that you made yourself. Wherever it is that you send your potential customers/recruits. Be sure that whatever this website is- whether it is company provided or made by you- that it includes enough information about your product, service, or opportunity for people to be able to make an informed decision about it. Copy that link and paste it somewhere easily accessible. Step 2- Choose and purchase your own domain name HERE. Depending on what you choose and what promotions are going on at the time, you can usually get a domain name here for .99 cents for your first year. After the first year, you will typically pay about $15 bucks per year. And by then you will certainly be making money with your business, so that $15 bucks per year will be nothing to you. Make a note of your log in information, do not lose it! Step 3- Get a FREE 30 day trial of this awesome autoresponder HERE. Make a note of your log in information, do not lose it! After your 30 day free trial, you will only pay $19 per month for this. If you are not yet making money with your business (if you commit to your success in business, however, you WILL be making money by then!) and/or are unable to afford the $19/month payment, simply cancel your membership before your 30 day free trial ends. (Note: You may also choose to become an affiliate for this company HERE. For everyone who you refer, you will earn $5 when they pay their monthly bill. Refer just 3 people and yours is paid for by those commissions!) Step 4- Create a FREE website HERE. Make a note of your log in information, do not lose it! You do not need to do ANYTHING to this website yet- just create it with a subdomain including something similiar to the domain name you purchased in step 2. For example- If my domain name is www.TinyHomeBigLife.com my free website subdomain can be http://TinyHomeBigLife.Weebly.com Copy and paste this new subdomain into a file, somewhere safe. This website is only going to have ONE page, which will be your capture page- you will be setting that up here shortly. Step 5- Log in to your autoresponder account HERE. Create a "list" for your business prospects to subscribe to. Step 6- Once logged in, submit the contact form HERE asking them to remove the double opt-in feature on your list. Be sure to include your login name (NOT password!) and the email address on the account, to ensure they are able to locate your account. Step 7- Inside of your autoresponder account, create a "Sign Up Form" for your prospects to use in order to subscribe to your list. To view an example, feel free to check mine out HERE. Once you have created the sign up form, copy the html for it. Step 8- Log in HERE and paste the html that you just copied in step 7, into your new blank website page. Again, you may see mine HERE as an example. Step 9- Log in to your domain name account HERE. Go to "Manage Domain" and set it up to "Redirect" to "Target" - paste your weebly subdomain there in the target box. Be sure to save your changes! It can take up to 24 hours for your domain name to begin redirecting to your free weebly subdomain, however, in my personal experience it's never taken more than 20 minutes. Keep checking to see when it has began redirecting, as you will not want to give anyone the link until that happens. Step 10- Create some simple autoresponder emails that you would like your new autoresponder to send out to your prospects once they have joined your list. You can schedule when you would like them all to go out. For example- Set it up to send the first email as soon as they subscribe, send another email 2 days later, send the next email 1 week later, send another email 1 month later, etc. You do not need to sit down and create 6 months worth of autoresponder emails TODAY, but you will need to create a few- depending on how often you would like them to be sent out. Then be sure to add new ones in as often as you can, so you will always be ahead of schedule. Step 11- Once you see that your new domain name is properly redirecting to the weebly page/capture page that you have created- start sending ALL of your prospects to that new domain name instead of sending them straight to your website for information. CONGRATULATIONS! You now have a system in place that will gather your prospects email addresses, send them to your website, and stay in touch with them so you do not have to spend your time following up with every single person individually all the time. Now you can spend that extra time on more important tasks! =) *If you'd like to take your automation a step further: SOCIAL MEDIA SCHEDULING SYSTEM- This is another MUST HAVE for automating your business! I use it and LOVE it! Get a 37 day FREE trial by using my referral link here: https://www.cinchshare.com/?a=qxg3n and entering promotion code: CSFree when you sign up! It's only $10/month after your free trial and it's TOTALLY worth it!!! To Your Success, Missy VanMeter www.facebook.com/mdvanmeter www.facebook.com/groups/tinyhomebiglife
