Intro

Tired of repeating repetitive tasks over and over again?   True workflow automation asks the question “Have I done this before?”  If the answer is “yes,” then learn to start thinking DRY!

This simple acronym is important when building a business of any size.  It stands for “Don’t Repeat Yourself.” With this concept, I would like to share with you a tool that I have been using to help with online automation.

Online Automaton

In this video we will cover various scenarios for using iMacros in online automation.

Getting Started

  1. Download iMacros, FireFox, Chrome, Internet Explorer
  2. Record and Playback Your First Script
  3. Watch and Read more Tutorials

Social Bookmarking Macro

Below is the code for automating your social bookmarking.  To run this script, follow these steps.

  1. Save the Social-Auto iMacros Script to the path below and rename to iim:

C:\Users\{USERNAME}\Documents\iMacros\Social-Auto.iim

  1. Save the Social-Auto iMacros Datasource File to the location below:

C:\Users\{USERNAME}\Documents\iMacros\Datasources\Social-Auto.csv

  1. Open the csv file and edit the values
  2. Be sure you have accounts created with each site
  3. Run the iMacros Script when complete

Now just continue to record and edit and you’ll have an entire automation system written within a few hours.

What do you think?

      That is a cool scenario, never thought about that type of implementation. If you run into any snags let me know I might be able to give you a hand…

        Could you do me a favor?
        Welcome to drop me a mail.
        Thanks in advance.

  1. Wow great stuff! I was wondering if you have the iMacros iim file for the Duplicator?
    I build hundreds of client sites per month and have been using just basic macros to load everything to my hostgator c-panel. This will save so much time for me.
    You Rock Cory!

  2. Great stuff. I also run iMacro, but not very deep like this. 😉

    I create cron job on one of my WP site and run script to execute stuff, so I can shut down my computer for the night. However, it’s using my server’s IP and don’t look like a human interaction. 😉

    thanks for sharing.

    1. Hey Rajkumar,

      I’m not 100% sure how to do that one. I would check with the imacros forums, there are some gurus over there who can probably get you the code really quick…
