Time is one of the most precious resources for artists and creatives. But automation isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when we think about out art!
Luckily, automation tools can take care of repetitive tasks, allowing you to focus on what really matters—growing your business. In this blog, I’ll walk you through 10 automations that you can set up in 10 minutes each, saving you up to 10 hours a week!
Flodesk: Welcome Flow
A well-structured welcome email flow makes a great first impression and builds a connection with new subscribers. Once a user signs up, Flodesk automatically delivers a series of emails over time, allowing you to introduce your brand, showcase your offerings, and drive engagement. This alone can save you hours of manual follow-up.
ManyChat: Freebie Delivery Funnel
Engage potential customers by delivering a lead magnet (like a freebie) directly to their inbox using ManyChat. This chatbot system collects emails, delivers the freebie, and builds your email list—all automatically, saving you hours spent responding to individual messages.
Zapier: Custom Zaps
Zapier is the unsung hero of business automation. Create custom Zaps that link your apps together, such as syncing form responses to Google Sheets, automatically adding subscribers to Flodesk, or sharing content across social media platforms. With thousands of potential workflows, Zapier can save you 30+ hours per month by handling these annoying tasks for you.
Loom: Client Onboarding
Skip the lengthy back-and-forth emails by automating your client onboarding process. Record personalized welcome videos with Loom and embed them in your onboarding emails. These video messages provide clarity and build rapport without the need for lengthy explanations.
Meta Business Suite: Facebook Ad Management
Automate your ad campaigns using Meta Business Suite to manage your Facebook and Instagram ads. Schedule posts, manage budgets, and track performance in real-time, ensuring that your ads are always targeting the right audience without constantly logging in.
Demio: Evergreen Masterclass
Host your masterclass on Demio and automate its replay to make it evergreen. Once you’ve recorded your session, Demio will automatically allow users to access your content on-demand, whenever it fits their schedule—maximizing your impact while you sleep.
Flodesk: Reminder Flow for Events
Forget manual reminders—Flodesk lets you set up a sequence that will remind your audience of an upcoming event or launch. Automating reminders 24 hours, 1 hour, and even 15 minutes before your event will increase your show-up rate without you lifting a finger.
ManyChat: Discount Code Distribution
Use ManyChat to send discount codes directly to your Instagram or Facebook DM subscribers. Automating this process keeps your audience engaged and drives sales by rewarding loyal customers without you having to send individual messages.
ChatGPT: Weekly Blog Post
Save time on content creation by letting ChatGPT help write your weekly blog posts. You can ask ChatGPT to draft a post based on popular search topics in your niche, saving you hours of research and writing each week.
Flodesk: Customer Nurture Flow
Set up an automated nurture flow in Flodesk to build a deeper connection with customers after they make a purchase. This flow sends follow-up emails, drives upsells, and encourages repeat business—all while you focus on other tasks.
These 10 automations can collectively save you up to 10 hours a week. Start small, implementing just a few of these, and watch how much time you reclaim to invest in growing your business!
