Many creatives imagine “automation” as this foreign, scary topic that only highly technical people can understand and make use of. But in fact, it may just be the tool that restores sanity to your demanding admin needs.

Why spend your precious life doing rote, boring, or technically un-demanding tasks that a robot could be doing instead? If that sounds futuristic and cool, that’s because it is — you can have an army of internet robots that do things to make your life easier (and make you more money)!

With tools like Zapier and Make, you can visualize everything as easy-to-understand workflows with labels and guides for how to make things work. Want to send an email to a new client after they pay an invoice, invite them to your Slack, send them a questionnaire, and collect brand assets… all at once? You can do that, and much more. Get over your need to micro-manage everything, and delegate your important (but boring) work to machines that you setup and control.

The future is now — and it’s in the form of internet robots saving you 10 minutes every day over the course of years, doing the stuff you hate while you live the life you want.
