Mission Review: Business Process Systemizing

MISSION REVIEW:

The ProfitDoctrine Mission Reviews will focus on the results of the monthly VISION. You can learn more about the VISION as a Profit Premium member. Mission Reviews will be results based only, and will only focus on that specific weeks achievements. Overall, I am hoping that my readers will get an accurate picture of what it really takes to be successful in their online business.

At ProfitDoctrine, I want to bring to my readers and members a higher level of transparency, and give them a real in-depth look into what my goals, objectives & aspirations are, and to get a factual and accurate look at whether or not the ProfitDoctrine Mission has been achieved.

The Mission Review will be a category in the Profit Lab section of our site. Mission Reviews will be conducted on a weekly basis, not necessarily on the same day of the week. But this section of our site will be denoted by our police man icon. I thought that would be pretty cool and provide as my countability watchdog.

Business Systemization: Create business processes and manual for each fundamental operation of my business.

Results: This process was to start last week on the first of the month.  However, due to setting up various business accounts, and having to wait for verifications, and processes, I was not able to begin writing up these manuals right away.  But I was able to provide a very rough outline, so that I can see what it looks like and to know what to expect.

Analysis: This Monday, I will be able to start outlining this process deeply.  I have cleared out a lot of the non-revenue function items off my daily tasks list, whereas, now I can clearly see the major functions of my business.  As of right now, it will entail 1.) Branding and Promoting Profit Doctrine, 2.) Massive Product Creation, 3.) Service Creation and promotion and 4.) Building relationships.  I won’t go deeper into these now, as each of these are fluid, but this gives you a 360 degree overview.

ProfitDoctrine Site Development: Creating membership and product site frameworks to rapidly increase speed to market.

Results: I invested into a high quality WordPress theme called OptimizePress.  It allows you to create high quality squeeze pages, and launch funnels.  I am currently creating various funnels, and systematizing these tasks in order to streamline the process of creating the sites.  I want to be able to focus on creating products so that all I have to do is upload to a ready-made site and add in my graphics.

Analysis:  Outlining my processes and tasks, and ensuring that I have a stable membership sites & product sites is definitely time consuming.  It’s easy to say to outsource this, however, if I’m using an easy to use platform, as well as making investments into products that say that any individual can do “X” in “Y” amount of time, then I should be able to do it.  One mistake I don’t want to make is outsourcing just for the sake of outsourcing, and not knowing what is going on.  Plus, I plan on systematizing my outsourcing as well.

Issues: One issue I have come across is with a membership plugin for WordPress. I have been using Wishlist Member for membership site creation.  One of the issues that I have come across is  that Wishlist hasn’t been tested on WordPress multi-site. Additionally, their support staff at Wishlist Products don’t support multi-site.  This is very discouraging given the fact that WordPress future functionally as a Blog and CMS platform will most likely be fully multi-site focused.  I know this will be the future, as I have already converted many of my other sites over to multi-site.  I also plan to convert Profit Doctrine into multi-site as well, but after learning about this issue, and testing the process out myself on my testing platform, this is how I found out about the issue.

Ensuring compatibility between Wishlist Member plugin and WordPress multisite is a must.  I will be doing research on ways and methods to make this possible.  I really hope this can be looked into and fixed.

Summary: Overall, the past few weeks have gone smoothly.  I have a clear vision of next week, and the rest of the month.  I have been approved on various services, and accounts, and will be also adding in additional revenue streams very soon.  Next, I will be looking for a solid programmer that I will be able to call on at any time.  I think it’s almost time to start doing more research into finding that right virtual/outsourced worker who can join my team.  Next week, I will be heavily focused on new product creation.  Additionally, I will have to keep up with building relationships, guest blogging, and promoting.  These are definitely tasks that are essential and really can’t wait to jump on this.

Mission Review: Preparing For Blog Launch

MISSION REVIEW:

Content Development: Complete blog posts for phase 2 by next Friday.

Results: I am currently on track to complete the 2nd phase of blog post creation.  Currently, I am creating over 5 blog posts daily.

Analysis: I utilize my blog plan framework, which outlines in editorial style, the various of blog post categories, and types of posts I need to create.  I came across a wordpress plugin, which will create an editorial style calendar, which possibly maybe I could implement to make myself more efficient.  I may test this out at some point.

Did you remember to write a post for next Tuesday? What about the Tuesday after that? WordPress doesn’t make it easy to see when your posts are scheduled. The editorial calendar gives you an overview of your blog and when each post will be published. You can drag and drop to move posts, edit posts right in the calendar, and manage your entire blog.

ProfitDoctrine Site Development: Configure any outstanding plugin extensions. Add any additional content pages.

Results: I have provided any necessary maintenance.  I have been proactive in addressing unstable plugins by directly communicating with their owners and plugin owners have been quite responsive.  I have created additional content pages, however, some special pages will need to be created at a later date, regarding the membership pages, and pages specific to the site.

Analysis: Stay on top of issues that arise and address those issues directly and efficiently.  You need to be proactive in your business, and address problems head on.

Issues:

The current issues I forsee is with growth of the site.  I want to ensure a quality user experience for my readers, and do not want that experience to be jeapordized.  If traffic grows heavily to the site, based on my sites current configuration which is using self-hosted wordpress on a shared server, there could potentially be issues with slow load times, or even the site may go down due to overload.  I have already experienced what the effect of a being on a shared server can do.  For example, another user of my hosting company, Midphase, who was on the same shared server was utilizing over the amount of bandwidth they were allocated.  This ended up having the entire server crash and everyone on the shared server account suffered.  After speaking with Midphase support, I was told the only thing they could do is 1.) suspend the other persons account (which they did), and service would go back to normal, 2.) I could opt to move to another one of the shared servers (but it would cause downtime for me personally), or 3.) Purchase a virtual private server (this is more costly, and doesn’t get all the same features of the shared server, unless you pay even more).

So, knowing this already, I have begun research on optimizing my site and finding out what is necessary to implement a CDN strategy on my site.  This means, using a content delivery network framework to increase load times of images, videos, and even content.  This will not only speed up my site, but allow me to be more efficient.  I am already two steps ahead on preparing for this strategies, whereas I have a Amazon S3 for storage, will be using Amazon Cloud for distribution.  I will discuss more about this method later.  Another part of the issue is getting all the wordpress plugins, linking strategies correct to implement, add and distribute with no issues.  This is currently a big issue I intend to  look into further.

Summary: Overall, this week is on schedule.  A slight snag where I did spend time having to learn a bit more about implementing a CDN strategy.  Sometimes frustrations can lead to enlightenment.  My frustration of when the site went down due to something beyond my control allowed me to quickly learn about creating a CDN strategy for my site, as well as start thinking about what is necessary to get it done.  This ties in with my analysis above regarding, when issues arise address them quickly.  One recommendation I think I will start to do is creating my own personal Issues/Ticket platform, so I can monitor ongoing, upcoming, current and fixed issues.  This way I can see over time what issues I incurred, and whether or not they’ve been addressed, and it’s something I can share with my readers. My readers may have insights or resources that can fix situations like this as well. Next week should only get better.

Mission Review: Create Planning Documents To Manage Workload

One aspect of business that tends to go unnoticed not only on a personal level, but also a strategic business level is the concept of “Accountability.” Everyone always talks about “taking action”, and “getting a mentor”, but they never really get into the details & specifics of what is really going on with an individual, the business, or even the reason on why certain results have not been achieved.

At ProfitDoctrine, I want to bring to my readers and members a higher level of transparency, and give them a real in-depth look into what my goals, objectives & aspirations are, and to get a factual and accurate look at whether or not the ProfitDoctrine Mission has been achieved.

The Mission Review will be a category in the Profit Lab section of our site.  Mission Reviews will be conducted on a weekly basis, not necessarily on the same day of the week.  But this section of our site will be denoted by our police man icon.  I thought that would be pretty cool and provide as my countability watchdog.

In terms of accountability, we will be focusing on specific business strategic objectives on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.  Every business usually has a strategic plan.  In the case of Internet Marketing, you see many product launches happen every week and month, but you never really know for sure what was actually happening behind the scenes, nor do you get an accurate picture if that launch was successful.  You may know a bit of the story if you are an affiliate for that product, or are in direct contact with that product owner, but you don’t really get a personal sense of the state of that persons business, whether the business is failing or succeeding.  Now, some marketers may not want to give out this information, and that’s totally okay, they are a private independent business afterall, unless they have shareholders to answer too.  However, in today’s market economy, transparency should be the norm, and I think people should know whether or not your business is truly successful. They should know what it took for you to create the product they just bought.  They should know the pain and suffering, they should know celebration of success, your customers, readers, visitors, members, subscribers, all should know the truth and the facts from start to finish.  This is exactly what the Mission Review will aim to provide.

The ProfitDoctrine Mission Reviews will focus on the results of the monthly VISION. You can learn more about the VISION as a Profit Premium member.  Mission Reviews will be results based only, and will only focus on that specific weeks achievements. Overall, I am hoping that my readers will get an accurate picture of what it really takes to be successful in their online business.

MISSION REVIEW:

Content Development: Create high quality articles for the launch of ProfitDoctrine.com by Saturday, Sept. 11th.

Results: I am currently on track to complete all the articles.  I personally research, develop and write all my articles personally.  I do not outsource the writing of articles on ProfitDoctrine.com.  I have the ability to write over 100+ wpm (words per minute), but things have been slower than I wanted them to be.

Analysis: In the future, I will need to pre-plan out a weeks worth of topics to write about & focus on those topics specifically for a week.  This will allow me to write faster and stay focused.  I shouldn’t be spending the whole day writing articles, and thinking about which ones to write.  Also, I will aim to complete all articles by a specific morning time frame, I’m not sure of what time yet.  But the afternoon will be spent developing inspiring and cutting edge reports to add to the ProfitDoctrine Knowledge Base, and to giveaway to my readers.

ProfitDoctrine Site Development:  Configure any outstanding worpdress plugins, site design.  Ensure site is performing properly.

Results: I have performed daily maintenance on the site.  I personally am developing and designing the website with the skills and abilities I have.  At this moment, I do not want to outsource these tasks, whereas, it’s not an expenditure I want at this moment, as well as I am not fully sure of all the tasks I will need as of yet.  The focus first is to ensure I have all the content ready prior to doing any last minute design and development items.  I have tested my payment processor and membership management tools and they are all working at 100%.  I will do further testing prior to blog launch day.

Analysis: It would be good to have a web designer & programmer on call to get things done as needed.  However, it may be better to have a written task list of all items that may or may not be needed so when you do actually need a designer or programmer, all you will need to do is 1.) Edit the list, and 2.) Give the list of tasks to your workers.  In my case, I haven’t created a rolling list, but, my progress is definitely on schedule.  I think I will create a formal list just in case, that is definitely a great idea.

Summary: Overall, this week is on schedule and I have achieved all the goals for this week.  I will be developing a rolling tasks list to have a list of current and outstanding issues, and create a document to plan out the weeks blog posts and articles.  Obviously, there will be some exceptions, as I may find some top information for the week, but it’s always good to be ahead.  These two documents will be placed in the ProfitDoctrine Knowledge Center.
