What tasks do you want automated?

Shift · 11-07-2009, 10:51 AM

If you could automate certain tasks that you do when doing market research for a niche,
what would those be?

The first obvious one (and there's already software that does it) is to pull keyword info from places like Google and Wordtracker.

What else?

Another task to automate would be to spy on competitors. But I think there are tools for that already.

Yes there's tools already like keywordspy, etc.

I was thinking more along the lines of things one does while researching a niche one wants to get into, or when one wants to target a keyword (rank for it).

(Obviously some of these so-called `spy tools' can give you some ideas as to what keywords other domains are targetting or trying to rank for, but they're not 100% accurate yet can still be helpful).

I like to outsource many tasks such as article writing, building back links and anything else that takes my focus away from marketing and creating new products/courses.

I think you have to look at the overall hourly wage of the task that you are considering outsourcing... if that task can be done by someone else, for less than what you value your time it, it should be outsourced.

Obviously, some tasks will require your attention due to the importance of the task or the highly specialized nature of it. In my opinion, most technical tasks like design, article writing, etc. can be outsourced in almost all situations.

Well, I've got things pretty much automated...the kids bring me cold beers, my oldest daughter makes a killer sandwich, and my son makes for a solid remote control when the batteries die, so I can't think of much else.

I also want an automated writer so that I can update my blog and site regularly

But of course doing your task in manual is better. Because you can assured to yourself that you are in a good hands.

I would be cool if there was some kind of program that could find profitable clickbank products that pay over $20, give you some keywords along with the KEI, and analyze the competition.

What I would like to automate is a good unique article writer and back link generator.

Graphic generator (for websites,ebooks)would be nice,too.
