AUTOMATION

The REAL benefit of running your business on the web is AUTOMATION. 

You simply MUST automate your web business.  When you do this it means that you can run numerous income generating businesses from the proverbial "basement of your house".

So what should you automate, and what can you automate?

Well you can effectively automate almost everything.

Automate your Search Engine submission process. If you use the remarkable Site Build It! system then this comes with the package. At FYHM we never submit to Search Engines, however our major referrer is now Google. 

AND, now that Google has done a deal with YAHOO FYHM is seeing a  substantial increase in traffic from YAHOO.  Now, that's the real value of "free".

If you're not using an SBI system then you'll need to use something like Web Position Gold to semi-automate your Search Engine submission process.  

As I'm sure you're aware it can take a Search Engine up to 3 months to actually spider your site (some take longer).  This means that you'll need to resubmit your site to the Search Engines at regular intervals.

Automate your backend marketing. Use powerful, multimedia autoresponder systems like PROautoresponder [and yes we willingly endorse PAR because it's the best AR system on the planet] that automate your selling/ information delivery systems.

Automate your Traffic generation systems.  There are a myriad of traffic generation systems on the web, which use a variety of formats and different approaches to traffic generation.  

However, [just like in real life] the best results always seem to flow from real work and effort (isn't that interesting!!). Reciprocal Link Directories [like ZEUS] are a powerful way to automate your traffic generation systems.  Once the system is set up it runs by itself and drives traffic to your site.

If you wish to understand how these systems work then download the FREE eBook [PDF format/ left click to read online, right click to download] on using ZEUS to create your own Links Directory [traffic generation] system.

Another way of automating traffic generation is to use a viral system.  In general these systems work on with the concept of "sharing".  Of the many systems we've tested TRAFFIC Swarm is the one that continually comes up trumps.  Another system [just launched] that is proving to be a winner is LISTinferno.  In just over two week I've got something like 400 new [opt-in] subscribers to my ezine.

Of course it goes without saying that you'd want to automate any product or service purchase system and [if you're running one] your affiliate program.

So, when you see those claims of "I'm working in the basement 2 hours a day, and making 3 Squillion dollars a year" what they're really saying is "I've totally automated my system."
