Running
an online marketing business really lends itself to mobility. Giving
you the freedom to live as you would like, while running your business,
is the appeal of the internet as a powerful money making vehicle.
The idea is to automate all that you can, so your promotion machine
works 24/7, while you're asleep, or wandering around Northern Europe.
You now have a small number of tasks left that demand your prompt attention,
which are very do-able as you travel, in your spare time.
The promotion methods you have put into action will continue to work
for you day after day. Articles you have written for use in other online
publications will be printed and seen by countless subscribers, growing
your reader base. Ads you have set up in other publications will run
per schedule. Any viral subscription programs or co-ops that you use
will continue to grow your list, while you have lunch in a cafe in Cologne.
The use of autoresponders to host a free course or report on your subject
matter is a valuable tool to the mobile marketer. I have many free email
series on autoresponder, that bring in leads and subscribers for my
ezine anytime and automatically.
These email courses generate subscribers 24/7, if I'm walking the parks
of Amsterdam, or watching the midnight fireworks at the Tivoli Gardens
in Copenhagen.
The
list management service I use automatically adds new subs to my different
email series or to my New Marketer Ezine list. It automatically removes
unsubscribers, and allows me to send unscheduled or scheduled mailings
to either list any time I please. I use this function to mail my ezine
weekly, and as it is web-based. I am using the service today from an
internet cafe in Amsterdam. It is my AutoResponsePlus server-based list
manager and mailer. You can check it out at http://www.autoresponseplus.com
.
I highly recommend AutoResponsePlus,
as it is very convenient to use while traveling, since it is web-based.
There is no software to run on your PC, no mailing to do through your
ISP. You can manage multiple lists, and you get unlimited sequential
autoresponders, for courses, series, and follow-ups.
Every couple of days you stroll back to your favorite internet cafe,
and casually check your email. You'll have to have access to some kind
of web-based email checker. My local DSL provider in South Florida,
BellSouth, gives me a webmail page that I can use to check all of my
mail, even other POP3 accounts, as a free benefit. You file some emails
for later, you answer customer and other important messages, and you're
off to the Diamond Exchange in Antwerp.
This pace of checking up on your email and running some simple tasks
via the net (occasionally) is easy to do. You will find that a nice
break to sit down and relax while you do some work is welcomed. It's
a lot of work to see five countries in two and a half weeks. It is easy
to find the time you need to keep your business running smoothly, when
you are having the time of your life, and getting rid of all the stress
from the last year.
Getting out of town will help you to be more productive the rest of
the year, and your business won't miss you for a minute. You may prefer
to travel with a laptop for your office tasks, but really consider the
fact that you have to keep an eye on it the whole trip. You have to
watch yourself, you know. That's where the web-based email and AutoResponsePlus
come in handy.
The future is now. It's here for the taking.
Do it because you can! You'll be glad you did.
