Tutorial: How To Use Infusionsoft Automation Links (Video)
In my 10 Infusionsoft Commandments, I talk about tracking every click. In fact, and I quote: "you should rarely be using the regular hyperlink tool in Infusionsoft. I only use it when pressed for time. And even then, I vow to correct it later."
"Every link sent in an e-mail should be an automation link. How else will you know if they have clicked? (Sure, if you're a savvy user, you may run some type of page loading script that can run actions when they hit your landing page, but for most people, automation links are the way to go)."
"Automation links are powerful because you can run actions when the user clicks on them. For starters, you can tag them "Clicked E-mail XYZ." This tag alone can be used to determine if they should receive a second or third follow-up reminding them to take the desired action. If they've gotten the tag, you can simply take another approach since they've clearly clicked but haven't bought. Not tracking this sort of activity is a grave mistake."
If you're not tracking every link, check out my video tutorial below (use full screen mode):

Great stuff Jermaine, thanks for sharing these tips and the easy to follow demo.
I would love to implement infusionsoft in our business but the learning curve is SO daunting that I don't have the time, nor currently the funds to outsource it to a VA or specialist. I wish they would simplify the learning curve. Perhaps they have (I looked at it in 2010)?
Sandy, they've come a LONG way since 2010. The campaign builder alone takes every separate function you had to master previously and puts it all on one screen in a visual way. Now you're dragging out circles and rectangles and you can see your entire process right in front of you. I'd search on youtube for "infusionsoft campaign builder" and check out some of the examples/tutorials.
Thanks,
JG
