As an online business owner and marketer, I take pride in being involved in almost every aspect of my business. But notice that I qualified that statement with the word “almost”. That’s right– when it comes to running my online business; I know which components require my attention – and which ones are better left to automated marketing systems.

If you’re not using a bevy of systems to streamline your online business, you’re truly missing out on many time-saving avenues.

If you’re crunched for time, you might find it beneficial to have another writer tackle your blog posts for you. I’ve mentioned it before, and I’ll say it again, a freelance writer can help you fill up your blog with valuable content, as well as attract attention from those search engines. Find a freelance writer on Guru.com or Elance.com, hire them, and sit back as your blog fills up with tons of great content.

If you regularly email your list or send out promotional materials, you may find that having autoresponder software will save you a significant amount of time. Autoresponder software can send out promotional emails, newsletters, and other valuable content to a vast list in mere seconds, leaving you more time to focus on other aspects of your business. A few vendors I like are iContact, Constant Contact, Mail Chimp, and Aweber.

Capture pages are those little one-off websites that allow you to build up lists, market special promotions, and sell multiple products without having to create complex websites. Capture pages can be quick and easy to build, especially if you use capture page software like IMTool Suite, OptimizePress, and WordPress plug-ins.

Use these tools to help streamline your business – so you can spend more time focusing on your next big venture!
