Working From Home Businesses

(From my perspective)

Justin has put together an excellent framework called “The Million Dollar Blueprint”.

Essentially this maps the various stages of implementation of business blogs.

The nucleus of “The Million Dollar Blueprint” is the “work-at-home” blog although maybe the “nucleus” is too strong a word as the “work from home” blog is only part of the first stage of the “blueprint”

The first stage of the blueprint is the construction of the “work from home” blog, implementing a traffic scheme and setting up various referral programs that are common to all members of the “work from home” social network.

The term “Social Network” is a term of increasing usage. More so as applied to blogs. In this case the “social network” is tied together by a common thread, that of a “Work From Home” community helping and supporting each other not only in the construction of a blog, but by being tied together in common traffic programs and affiliate programs. In his it is hoped to achieve a common objective of being able to eventually earn enough through the internet so that each member of the “Social Network” can either retire from the day to day drudge of having to work for someone else or being a source of income that will enable them to help others less fortunate than themselves.

I would think that the “blueprint” would remain a guiding tool once the basic framework is set up. Each member of the social network expands outwards from here setting up multiple blogs of opportunity but still centred around the “blueprint” . What is shown in these blogs will probably be member dependant centred purely on each individual members wants,  needs and knowledge.

New members to this work from home community should concentrate on this first stage and if new, only on simple marketing techniques.

There is a lot of information to take in for the first time marketers not only in the technical implementation and the understanding of blogs but also in some various advanced programs used to construct and market them. This first stage should be made as simple as possible in its implementation and in the instructions used to guide.

In my opinion the construction of the blog and initial marketing specially for the first timer in the first stage, should follow these discreet steps.

• Initial Signups for support programs.

• Installation of “the work-from-home” blog. (includes getting domain and hosting)

• Customisation of the work-from-home” blog.

• Join affiliate programs.

• Join Traffic programs.

• Set up Autoresponder.

• Implement basic marketing programs.

• Join optional affiliate programs.

• Implement advanced marketing and seo.

As I mentioned these should be discreet steps. Each step should be complete for that step and that step only. There should be no diversion to any other activity that is not associated with what is being done in that step. Not only does this ensure a commonality of implementation but allows the member to fully understand what he or she is doing. This is essential if this member is to guide his or her future members through each step. It also helps the guiding member as he/she knows exactly where the person is with their implementation if they need assistance.

Needless to say the instructions in each step should be straight forward and unambiguous. Instead of pointing to another webpage, for example, where there are numerous items to look at links should point directly to the resource, item or explanation.

I have noticed there are a few members that have, in their blogs, pointed words (like “blog” for example) directly to an explanation of what it means. This should be carried on in the implementation instructions.

Instructions are indeed for some people, an educational exercise if they have never before been involved in the particular deed being done.

I would think that now a new member who has gone through the first stage implementation in this way will be well  equipped to go onto more complex tasks and be able to start really being able to customize further in order to make their blogs more unique.

Well people there are probably things I have missed out but I’ll find them, hopefully with some help.

Good or bad comments are always respected.
