Free and/or Cheap Automation

[Victoria Nellon]

In all of my rsearch I keep seeing the same phrase "You must automate as much of your business as possible. I have had great success using g Google Works. I l've gotten my website up and running, a Facebook fan page. I have utilized products from Vista print, whom I ordered Sticky Notes to place on houses I came across while driving. I have made my presence on social media known. The greatest tool I found is an app called IFTTT (you just have to see for yourself). Not to mention business cards, which I got from Printastic. I got 250 quality business cards and it only cost me shipping an handling. Most of the services I am paying for, will cost under $10 a month.  

My journey into automation has been a pretty smooth one. I will say you have to be prepared to make use of whatever system you like to keep track of a all these tools. The payoff is worth it though. I have been much more efficient at contacting leads and posting properties.

I have been able to get up and running for under $20. Less than that really, because my Google works free trial is 30 days. 

My operating cost even after my free trials end will be under $30 a month. 

So if any other newbie or veteran trying to learn how to automate inexpensively and without all the headaches , feel free to contact me.

PODIO!   Podio is the BOMB as far as automation!  PODIO is FREE.

I love AUTOMATION.   

Podio allows me to customize anything, And Set up work flows to make things happen and the lead go through a system.   A friend of mine who is really good with it has it set up so that with a click of a button Podio will create a PDF Contract ready to go.  It plays nice with many other programs through Zapier too.   

I am started with the Sean Terry app suite and started customizing from there and increasing automation.  I hear Joe McCall has a good app suite.   

It's Pretty Insane IMHO.

Can you tell I like Podio?
