Hey ladies! Welcome back! Today, we're diving into something game-changing—three essential automations that will revolutionize how you manage your side hustle. Time is precious when you're balancing a corporate job and building your business, so let’s streamline your process and make your life easier.
1. Inquiry Automation: Make the First Step Effortless
The first impression matters, and inquiry automation is your key to ensuring potential clients can reach you easily. Picture this: someone stumbles across your Instagram, loves what they see, and wants to know more. With an inquiry automation in place, you make it simple for them to get in touch.
Here’s what you need:
Set Up a Single Link: Whether it’s your website, Instagram bio, or LinkedIn, have one clear link for people to learn more about your services.
Create a Landing Page: Use tools like MailerLite to create a page that showcases your offerings and collects inquiries through a form.
Automated Response: Once someone submits the form, they’ll receive an instant email with information about you, your services, and social proof like client testimonials or examples of your work.
Imagine someone inquiring about your services at 1 AM, and receiving everything they need without you lifting a finger. That’s how you turn curiosity into cash, even while you sleep!

2. Booking Automation: Simplify Scheduling
Now that you’ve got their interest, make booking just as seamless. Booking automation allows clients to schedule appointments effortlessly, saving time for both you and them.
Here’s how to set it up:
Scheduling Tool: Use apps like Calendly to let clients book a time that works for them, and even pay for the service upfront.
Automated Reminders: Ensure clients receive confirmation and reminders 48 hours, 24 hours, and one hour before their appointment. This keeps them engaged and reduces no-shows.
Waking up to new bookings without having to coordinate schedules manually? It’s the ultimate stress-relief and time-saver.
3. Offboarding Automation: Leave a Lasting Impression
Don’t forget about offboarding! This often-overlooked step is key to creating a great final impression and setting the stage for future business.
Here’s how to nail it:
Feedback Request: After your service, send an email asking for feedback via a quick survey. Capture their thoughts while the experience is fresh.
New Offers: Invite them to explore a new service or product. For example, if you just completed a coaching session, offer a spot at your next retreat.
Thank-You Email: Finish with a thank-you email that summarizes what you’ve accomplished together and provides links to the feedback form and upcoming opportunities.
A polished offboarding process ensures clients leave happy and might even recommend you to others. It keeps you top of mind for repeat business, too.
These three automations—Inquiry, Booking, and Offboarding—will transform your side hustle by reducing manual tasks and maximizing efficiency. You’ll capture leads, streamline scheduling, and maintain strong client relationships without extra effort. Once these systems are in place, you can focus on delivering value and scaling your business.
