Hi!
I just finished reading Construct #1 and I'm very excited! In my next business, I'm going to promote e-business automation tools, and Marks ideas about "REAL income streams" are exactly what I've been thinking about the last few weeks...
One of my main motivators have been Robert Kiyosaki's audio programs, where he talks about building "systems" that produce passive income streams. He is mainly focused on real estate and network marketing, but I belive the ideas of building passive income-generating assets can be transferred to the e-business automation or internet marketing businesses. There has never been a better time for building automated business systems, and it can be done with a very small monetary investment.
Anyways. I've been brainstorming quite a bit about what technical tools one could use to build such automated e-business systems. This is what I could come up with:
- Follow-up autoresponders
- SEOed sites (using tools such as SiteSell's Site Build It)
- Viral e-books
- Referral programs
- Interactive web pages (for example dynamically generated reports)
- Digital delivery of goods
- Credit card payments and automated/integrated accounting software
- Viral software (client or server) that people may copy
...
Do you have any other suggestions?
What tools are you using to automate your e-business and internet marketing?
How can these tools be used in order to build passive REAL income streams and digital assets?
All the best,
