Stop Making Money

“Stop making money???!!!”

No posts for over 2 months, and the best you can come up with is “Stop making money?”

Have you completely lost the plot?

Just the opposite – I’ve found the plot. No posts for over 2 months because I lost sight of the whole point of any web business.

It is not about making money.

It is all about creating value.

And that means value for the community you serve, whether local bricks ‘n’ mortar business or global Internet web business.

This website, for example, does not exist to make money. It exists to help people create and manage their own web business. When that purpose is fulfilled, rewards are automatic.

Your web business will have a different purpose, but as soon as you lose focus from that purpose and put making money first, you fail. Ideas and opportunities dry up. Your web business loses interest from visitors and yourself. Your web business fails.

Fast-track Web Business Startup

February 23rd, 2010 by kct from shrewdies | 3 Comments | Filed in Web Business
Seems like everyone is looking for ways to fast-track web business startup.

PROPSPRA is the ideal way to build any business, but many people simply will not commit to the planning stages.

Planning is important, but other methods often bring success without spending as much time on the foundation stages.

Can you be successful taking shortcuts with PROSPRA?

As I look at more and more startup websites from a business success angle, I’m struck by the number that do not seem to have considered the basics of traffic building. This is usually just a matter of poor planning, but often there appears to be some planning, but no workable process applied once website production has begun.

The PROSPRA process is unique in covering the foundation and post-production stages, in addition to the production stages that are the target of most web business building schemes. I had a good grounding in C>T>P>M the Content>Traffic>Pre-sell>Monetize process that drives Sitesell franchise businesses. This is a fairly sound process, though it completely ignores the foundation stages that PROSPRA brings. It is also massively mis-sold, but more on that some other time.

As I looked at some sites that had not even considered a path to monetization, it struck me that the Freeche tool for traffic building that I am developing would be ideal to boost such sites.

But how could I prove it?
