When starting a new enterprise it is unlikely that we'll have a concrete picture of everything involved to get things up and running. This is nowhere more true than when entering into the world of affiliate marketing. We are quite used to thinking in terms of brick and mortar stores that we walk into for shopping, the printed ads and the weekly specials - all things that we can touch with our hands and read with our eyes.
But when we move into the virtual world, hard things disappear. Instead we are working in concepts and fluid designs. We can't direct our customers to our store with maps and direct them within our stores with aisles. They don't get to actually pick up an item we are selling and literally feel it for value. Instead, we must guide with virtual sign posts (menus and hyperlinks) and assure value by testimonials.
How do we grasp all of these differences in how business is done in the virtual world? Can we just make a gigantic plan and start filling in the blanks hoping it all works out in the end? To some extent, yes. Yet, finding such a plan is not child's play. It generally takes great resources of either time or money, and best of all, both!
But what if you are short of time and money? Yet, you want to develop a successful online business opportunity. As a person who always seeks to get "The Big Picture" before moving forward I found the lack of time and cash an insurmountable hurdle for determining that big picture. Instead, I started "learning as I go." I'd research one aspect, determine the puzzle pieces for that section and work on assembling them as I learned. Of course, I'd rapidly find that to complete that entire section of puzzle pieces, pieces to a different section needed to be created first.
This was getting extremely complex. I was buried in stacks of sticky notes, notebooks of information and various methods of attempting to stay organized and yet still be able to visualize the inter-connectedness of what I was trying to accomplish.
About that time I remembered "Spider Outlines," or what you may know as Mind Maps.
You are combining a spreadsheet with all its facilities, with a word processor and graphics into a wonderful world which provides you with infinite combinations of expressing exactly what you want, just where you want it, facilitating your development of online business opportunities and enabling you to make money from home.
Start in the center with an image of the topic, using at least 3 colors. Use images, symbols, codes, and dimensions throughout your Mind Map and always scroll down to the bottom of the page to see all of your plan.
Just remember, whatever route you choose, be sure to find an organizational method that works for you or you will get lost as you delve into this new world of Internet Marketing.
