I’ve come up with one way to automate the process and I believe that I touched on it a little bit a few days ago.
The only problem that I’ve come up with so far is the fact that the people that I will be helping will probably want some type of personal interaction due to the amount of trust involved with the service that I’m offering.
I don’t have a problem with this however this will certainly consumer a considerable amount of my time.
The upside to this that I see (hopefully) is the fact that it will be a natural progression to get my clients to sign up for my monthly service.
More work for a service that was supposed to be running at 100% on August 1st but delayed due to things I had no control over.
This is certainly a work in progress but progress none the less.
During the process of gaining customers I’ve been asking myself how am I going to automate this process in order to provide a more efficient service.
Right now the only thing that I’ve come up with using the end users broadband connection in order to give me the ability to work from anywhere as long as they’ve got an internet connection.
If they don’t then no big deal, I will just have to make a trip out to their location.
I know that I’m being very vague right now but due to the fact that I’m keeping the majority of the details close to my chest, I really can’t say too much.
The reason that I’d like to automate the process is because I’m not trying to create another job for myself.
I want to create a business.
Automating the process will also give me the ability to hire people to do a simple (should be) task so that I’m able to do more work to continue to grow the business, hopefully helping me reach my end goal with this idea.
It seems as though once I’ve gotten one thing accomplished that something else pops up.
It also seems like I’ve said that at least one million times.
The issue that I’m dealing with right now is marketing.
Since this is a new service that is geared towards parents I’m trying a “grass roots” campaign in order to get a few sample runs under my belt.
So far I’ve narrowed down places where parents will be, in large masses.
Next week I will have my first trial run at mass marketing my service, hopefully it works.
After I get my first twenty clients then I will start building on the residual model of the service.
At this point all that I can do is be patient and remember that everything is done one step at a time.
