What Marketing Automation Systems Means To You As An Internet Marketer

By Daphne Bowen


Marketing used to mean a lot of postage stamps and white out solution for your typewritten materials. All of the printing or photocopying costs came straight from your bottom line. Phone calls and a lot of driving or flying took up a lot of your time and, hopefully, it was worth it, but after all is said and done, you still did not sleep very much because of the uncertainty of it all. For all of those reasons, marketing automation systems are ready to take over and help you grow your business and make more money.

The computer, of course, took us from the world of writing things or typing individual letters. It was able to mail merge so that individual labels, for mail, could be printed out easily. That, at least, saved some time from all of that needed for the entire marketing effort. The mail still had to go out and bad addresses may never be discovered. Not only that, but responses, either way, might take days or weeks.

Turning your attention to automation, we can thank the Internet for accessibility to all of the services, software and assistance you can count on every day. This World Wide Web makes all of this automation possible and through it, the acquisition of the potential clients to which you are marketing. This information sharing and ecommerce platform opens all of the options you need for success.

That blog or website you know needs to be built is something that must have a lot of content uploaded to it. That is something that can be automated. That is software that scours other sites and captures articles that can make you an authority on the subject you are dealing with. People enjoy reading about the subject, especially if you have information that can help solve a problem.

The one automated system that no marketer wants to do without is an auto responder. This will capture an email address from a visitor by offering them something free in return. This email will go on your list and you can continue to give them valuable information and interest them in other products that can help them.

The relationship building that this list and the systems represent will help you stay on top of all of the people on that list. This helps them understand more about you and your product. These emails will go out, as you scheduled them when you set it up, and you can concentrate on something else to grow the pool of products you can offer them.

Other services or systems will submit your articles to other websites or directories. This will help get people to your site to leave their email address. This starts the circle again. Some software will submit your advertising pieces to websites devoted to these, whether paid or free.

Many of the other automated systems that are available can help you spy on your competitors. Some of these will look for the appropriate keywords for all of the search engine optimization efforts you enter into that need focused keywords and phrases to work properly and for your benefit. When you can use these automated systems to build for you, you can spend time doing other things, such as going to the bank.
