1. Build Targeted Email Lists

You must build your own targeted lists of subscribers. This is easily done using autoresponders that let you sequentially send a series of messages to your subscribers. Entice these subscribers to join your list by giving them a valuable product/service in return. Set this process up to run without you ever having to touch it ever again - automate it.

Automating

Automating a web site can cut out tedious tasks such as updating HTML, FTPing pages and changing site designs. Advanced automated web sites can send follow-up emails, send out newsletters, manage sales, do invoicing, track users visits and more. There is practically no function that can't be accomplished.

-Billing system
-Order processing
-Support system
-Accounting and recordkeeping
