Lesson 1) Business Plan
a) Decide to make a business plan
The first and most important step in monetizing your site is a
business plan. Without a definite plan in place, you don't know
which get-rich-quick schemes to reject, and you just waste a lot
of time and money darting off into different directions.
You might still fall for some of those schemes, but a firm plan
in front of you will reduce the time and money waste.
If you are scared off by the threat of having to make a
business plan, you can pay somebody to make a business
plan for you, or to at least help you and brain storm
with you. Without a business plan, you WILL fail in business,
and you might as well focus on becoming a good employee.
There are a few hundred standard excuses people have for
not having a business plan. The most common one, surprisingly,
is not that they don't know how to make one, but that they
don't want to be forced to follow a rigid structure.
That tells me right away that they don't understand what
making and using a business plan is all about.
A business plan is like a route map for a trip.
You select a destination, then fill in the best route between
where you are and where you want to get to.
b) Then you keep track of your progress,
change the route where required because of obstacles,
detours or shortcuts,
but always aim in the diretion of your goal.
Without tracking your progress on your route map, the map
is useless. You don't know whether you are too far North or
too far South, and which way you should be heading.
Only when you know where you are,
and where you want to get to,
can you make intelligent choices instead of just
bumbling around.
Details about how to make a proper business plan
are in a separate e-book.
Yes, you WILL need to get some basic tools together.
You don't need expensive magic like you have been
buying and putting on the shelf, because it didn't work.
All you need is a plan and basic tools.
If you are interested in making your writing more effective, check Ettiquette To Get Read.
It is a very worthwhile ebook, to study and
keep as your secret weapon.
Don't worry, it's not filled with fluff and hype,
but condensed like a college cheat sheet.
This book is a tool for you, not a thinly disguised attempt to sell
other items to you.
