Look Out! Is Your Business on Auto-Pilot?

First there was the fax-on-demand…information received instantly by using a fax machine. Then the Internet evolved into the use of e-mail, producing email-on-demand with the use of autoresponders.
An autoresponder is just what the name implies. It is an auto response that is programmed to automatically deliver a specific message upon receiving the request.
Autoresponders allow your business to be operational around the clock 24 hours a day – 7days a week – 365 days a year. A good example is the Customer Service link provided on so many web sites.
Once you have sent your question or comment to the Customer Service link, you receive an auto-reply message acknowledging receipt of your message.
Autoresponder messages can by used in a variety of ways delivering your strategic information instantly to your targeted viewer /audience. Newsletters, sales information, free reports, even ecourses, articles and tutorials are just a few of the ways autoresponders can be used effectively.
Follow up is critical to keeping your name, service or product in front of your prospects and clients. Autoresponders allow you to deliver your follow up messages automatically, specifically, and most importantly…timely, to your target audience!

Are You Suffering From…. Paralysis Of Analysis?

Symptom: You want to be a writer, you’ve written several articles, but just n-o-t quite the way you want them. It needs a little more….
Symptom: You want to create a web site, you’ve finished designing the layout, but just n-o-t quite ready to launch. You need to check on……
Symptom: You’ve decided to start a blog, you have everything in place, but just n-o-t quite ready to publish. There’s one more…..
Diagnosis: ……Paralysis Of Analysis!
I know from personal experience just how this feels. I have had so many ideas, good ideas, but just when it came down to the final step….I needed to “add this” or “change that”, or “just tweak it a little more”.
I “tweaked” it until I tweaked it out! It was never quite right. The result was, it never got completed.
A perfect example is I could have been on the Internet in the mid ’90′s, but I managed to “analyze” myself right out of it and instead it was the late ’90′s.
Until I “published” my first website BizyBodies.com, and started my first ezine, BizyBodies.com Ezine, I had only completed three things in my life….Sandra, Susan, and Stacey……my three daughters!
We are of the opinion it has to be “perfect” before we can actually begin whatever it is we are trying to do.
