Strategic Planning Tools - Asking Five Queries Before You Turn On The Autopilot
The bulk of on-line products and guru seminars handle massive product launches and building niche publishing empires
. But what happens when you "host" the party and the people show up? What happens the day after the party? Do you actually believe all you would like to try and do is "babysit" your on-line business? How long do you believe your business will run on some legendary autopilot program or system? Running any business 24x7 raises challenges that are not obvious throughout the planning stages. Here are five questions you wish to raise your "autopilot" who will be running your business before you leave on the approach to the beach.1. How far earlier have you ever "scheduled" your blog posts? How many articles do you've got in your "editorial queue? Do you are doing your own analysis or depend upon a daily shipment of private label rights (PLR) content, RSS syndicated feeds, or purchased "window scrapings"? If you write your own content, do you have some type of content management system (CMS)? In addition to original content, do you have backup copies of your graphics, audio clips, videos, etc.
2. Have you refreshed your keyword lists lately? Do you monitor changing Adsense bids and marketing trends not to mention, rewriting your own "old" content with contemporary new keywords?
3. Does one rely solely on "bots" to "seed" social media sites with robotic "customized, attention-grabbing comments" or do you actually visit the sites yourself and share real, relevant, personal thoughts and opinions?
4. Does one REALLY answer your emails (not Tweets!), thank your patrons, and leave comments and acknowledgments on those "insider" blogs and forums from which you learn (read as "take away") new concepts? Does one payback/share your tips, concepts, or just "easy encouragement" with other members of your community?
5. Do you have a network of knowledgeable consultants to turn to if you would like technical help? Do they "understand" how you have got configured your "platform(s)"? In ninety seven out of one hundred cases, your involves facilitate will fall on deaf ears. This is NOT because techies are callous or solely work on retainer! The reality is, if you have got technical issues along with your blog or web site, it's additional than doubtless your downside is SPECIFIC to YOUR blog or website (browse as "user error") instead of a system downside with the blog software or your hosting service. So as to assist you, somebody should truly review the configuration of your code in real time. The three out of a hundred consultants who "answer your call" have the time and patience to just accept this point-consuming job. Take into account their high fees worthwhile EVEN if they get lucky and have you ever back online in say, twenty minutes (the time it takes to restore a SQL backup). Web 2.zero stuff looks easy to use however is very refined and it is generally very arduous to fix... properly!
If you have got sufficient resources to rent folks to "build you" a market niche, to "build you" back links, and to "build you" a subscriber list, then, presumably, you already have a team of consultants on retainer. Will your "autopilot" have their phone number? Will these "techies on retainer" also handle all the daily chores? You DO have an accountant handling your payroll taxes too, RIGHT? I assume, then, you actually can work two hours on Monday morning and turn on that BIG "auto-pilot" switch for the rest of the week. If you're generating that abundant revenue, I wish I had enough time to hire you as my mentor! Unfortunately, I have hundreds of work to complete right now. I still have 2 more blog posting, several emails to answer, a few forums to visit, and a piece of writing to write before a cold, late night dinner. Yep... Ya gotta love running a home-based business!
