The 4 Best Things to Automate So You Can Focus on Growing Your Online Business
1. Meetings and appointments
- Calendly
- With the free version you can have 1 event type, if you need more appointments you can use the paid version.
- When you are new, you don’t think you have very much to schedule, but when you try to coordinate calendars with a client, it becomes a lot.
- It books and blocks out that spot on my outlook calendar, it also talks with zoom and sets up the meeting in Zoom.
- I also love the automated reminders that go out for both me and the person that I am scheduling with.
2. Facebook group posts
- I am not a huge advocate for using social media to grow your business, but we do have a Facebook group focused on the community of it all.
- Once a week the posts are set up ahead of time-based on the content that I am creating on the podcast that week and they are pre-scheduled.
- It is done through Facebook, there is no fancy software needed to do this.
- Click the “schedule post” button and it is scheduled for whenever you choose!
- This allows us as a team to go in and focus instead of wasting time.
3. Collecting emails
- I use Group Collector. It is one of our main list generators.
- When people answer the questions while joining the Facebook group, Group Collector automatically collects all of the people who have requested to join the group and collects all of their answers to the questions.
- It does all the work of collecting and uploading the emails for us from the groups. Then the landing pages are automating the email capture and upload inside of the email list.
4. Weekly and daily workflow
- A workflow is everything you are doing inside of your business on a recurring monthly, weekly, and daily basis.
- Inside Asana, once you create your workflow once, it is automated. All you have to do is duplicate the task and change the dates that the task needs to be done instead of having to create the workflow again and again.
If you are in Podcast to Profit, I will give you all of my Asana workflows so all you have to do is upload them into your own Asana.
There you have it. These are four of the best things to automate right away. That saves you time and helps you to focus on the things that will help you grow your business. I pray this blesses you and helps you put your focus back on the areas you need in order to grow your online business to new levels!
I pray this blesses you!
