Start A Web Business The Quick Way
February 24th, 2010 by kct from shrewdies | Filed under Web Business.There is no substitute for good planning, and PROSPRA provides the vital cycle that accelerates the growth and stability of your main web business.
Quick Start Business
- Limit scope – reduce time
- Filter business wheat from brainstorm chaff
- Freeche Lite – fast blueprint
- Live test project next week
Uniquely, PROSPRA is scalable, so today I will look more closely at the scope for saving planning time.
See how condensing a few days planning & preparation into a few minutes is easy when you limit your context to a simple project.
The Web Business Challenge
The planning time is reduced considerably by limiting the scope (or context) of the web business. The Purpose, Rewards, Objectives, and Strategies stages are condensed to:
Provide a zero-cost website that generates affiliate income in the shortest time possible.
This can also work with other limited but certain contexts, such as “raise $100 on a free hosted website about poverty to fund my own self-hosted web business” or “divert as much traffic as possible away from the competition.”
It works because the rewards are unambitious, but the investment is minimal, so if it works, we can put more into it (Appreciate it), otherwise ditch it, and try a new target. If your brainstorming sessions have given you a thousand ideas, this is an easy way to separate the wheat from the chaff.
This fast-track approach is also good if you have already started a web business using one of the methods that specializes in very tight niches, and you are disappointed in the results. Of course, the best way might be to re-plan and relaunch the business following the full PROSPRA guidelines, but if you are impatient, let us at least try to reap some quick rewards. Freeche Lite gives us a few options on where we start reaping those rewards.
Targeting competition is the easiest, as they have done much of the work for us. Affiliate marketing is also a good option if we target a successful product. In the first instance, we simply mimic the target (mimic, not copy – your content must be original). In the second instance, we may need to do a little more work generating Feature-Advantage-Benefit pages, but this should be quite easy if we’ve gone for the right product or service.
I’ll journal the management issues here, and the technical issues on the freeche Website Traffic Builder website. Please note: I’m using that site ahead of it’s true launch date, so please forgive the rough edges.
I still have a little preparation work to do on freeche Lite, but it should be ready next week, if my birthday celebrations at the weekend do not get in the way. I aim to use it to startup a specific new web business. I plan to spend 40 hours fairly quickly, followed by around 5 hours per week. This emulates a typical startup where you take a week’s vacation to build the business, then run it part time.
I’m tempted to open up the challenge to the public. If that interests you, please share your thoughts about what you might expect to receive as rewards and how much time you might work on your quick free web business project.
