I get so many people struggling to find the right tool or system to accomplish a certain part of doing business on the internet. They need a shopping cart or order form or they wonder which autoresponder service they should go with, or perhaps they are ready to launch their own affiliate program and need to know the best way of tracking their affilaites.
The answer is not so straightforward since each one of these functions has many possible solutions and when looked at in isolation, they can be solved on their own.
What seldom gets asked though is if you can find a solution that incorporates all of this into one, automated solution.
Let’s look at a few scenarios in internet marketing.
I start my online business with a simple content website and blog and begin building a list with opt-in forms on each page.
Then, I develop a quick product to sell to my market – perhaps a report or a 30-minute audio interview – and now I need to setup a sales order form, a way to setup price, special discounts, shipping parameters if it is a physical product and even provide a secure digital download capability.
Now, wouldn’t it be nice if I could offer my existing list of subscribers a first-mover special discount price and track my different promotions to see which ones convert the best?
OK, but I also want to offer this through strategic partners and in return pay them a commission on the sale. I want to give my partners 40% of the sale, but for one special category of TOP GUN partners, I want them to earn 60% per sale.
Then, I want to be able to have a different opt-in list for my partners so I can email them details about the promotion, perhaps train them on aspects of my product and give them a weekly nudge to promote the product.
On each one of these promotions for new visitors to my site, my existing list and my affiliates, I want to track the results to know which promotions, ads, emails and partners are my top affiliates because I want to reward them and keep them bringing in long-term cash to me.
Finally, when someone orders my product, I want them immediately want the following to happen…
- I want my customer placed into a new autoresponder sequence where I thank them for ordering, obtain extra feedback and upsell them to other back-end products and services
- I want my affiliates to immediately get notified and presented with additional tools and opportunties to promote my products so they will do another mailing
- I want to know exactly who and where that sale came from so I can concentrate on the successful aspects of my business
- I want all aspects of notification, product delivery, and additional upsell and support handled automatically so that I know my customer is in good hands and I can move on to other marketing efforts
AUTOMATION IS KEY
This may seem like allot, but believe me, this is a very simple scenario that allows you to be flexible and take full advantage of online marketing.
If you use different systems for payment processing, your shopping cart, autoresponders, ad trackers and affiliate management tracking – it will be impossible to carry this scneario out AND you will be paying more than if you could get all of this under one, simple-to-use but powerful product.
That’s where my SECRET WEAPON comes in…1AutomationWiz (a branded version of 1ShoppingCart) gives you –
1. A complete shopping cart system for digital and physical products
2. A very powerful and effective autoresponder service with high delivery rates
3. A cool ad-tracking tool that can really help you fine-tune your various articles and ads
4. A very comprehensive affiliate management module that allows you to track multiple products across multiple partners with excellent tracking and reporting.
5. Everything fully integrated for complete automation of your online business
That automation means you can spend less time trying to find, learn and make mutliple systems work together allowing you to spend more time actually generating traffic and sales to your internet business.
Here’s a simple example…if you have an affiliate management system that tracks affiliate sales separate from your shoppingcart or order system, then what happens when someone wants a sale refunded?
Does your partner’s commissions automatically get reversed?
No, if you don’t remember to go back and manually update that affiliate’s commission against that sale, then you will be paying out commissions on a sale that was refunded – can you say losing money?
With 1AutomationWiz, the refunded order automatically reverses commissions so you don’t have to give it a second thought.
There are dozens of other examples like that I could talk about from first-hand experience.
If you need a shopping cart, autoresponder, ad tracker or affiliate management capability for your internet business, then consider 1AutomationWiz and put a BIG business front-end on your online business at a very reasonable cost.
Oh, and what’s cool right now is you can test-drive the complete system for NOTHING for 30-days. Their starter package is about $1-per day with other package options as required.
With the free trial option, you can get a feel for the full system well before you make a decision to buy – a very nice option.
