The Antidote For "Information Overload"- Construction Paper And Magic Markers. Step 1
Happy New Year Everyone.
The Best Thing You Can Do For Yourself in 2009 is to cure the "Information Overload Syndrome."
In a moment, I'll show you two pictures of the 'cure' that I created using construction paper and magic markers. Of course, you can't see the writing because 1.) I'm a lousy photographer and 2.) well, ok, so I don't want to give away my niches, but the visual aid might just be the "Antidote" you've been looking for.
I thought with today being January 1, 2009, this would be a good time for anyone who is resolving (or 'solving' if you are a JMO fan), to 'embrace their Internet business' or other such similiar resolutions, to start with 'filtering out the noise of Information Overload' by just looking at a very simple mind map. Nothing fancy done with software, but something as simple as construction paper and magic markers. But first,
Here's the cause of Information Overload.
You've been programmed to believe that you can exploit a method
without a model. That you can implement a strategy without a
system. That you can use a tool without technology. And still make
money.
This is a half-truth. You can 'make money' but you can't build a business on 'methods' alone. A business has to have 'legs' to stand on. Like a house, it needs a 'foundation' to rest on, support systems to hold the roof up, doors and windows for 'light,' plumbing systems for movement, electrical systems to support new technologies.

A business needs:
- A model
- A market
- Systems
- Strategies
- Tools
- Technologies
- Methods
Getting into 'Internet Marketing' is seductive to
say the least. You've been told that you don't have to know anything
or have any money to start making money. And that's partly true.
If you implement the system that makes the method work, you might
be lucky enough to make a few bucks.say the least. You've been told that you don't have to know anything

If you're a smart cookie you'll be able to 'leverage' those few bucks into more profitable ventures and build a business. But if not, look at these two pictures below:
A business model identifies the 'type' of business that exists within an
industry. A business model determines who your customers are. A
business model has a marketing plan defined by it's target market
and it has systems, strategies, tools and technologies for creating it's
products, services, marketing messages and for distributing those
products, services and marketing messages through defined
distribution channels.industry. A business model determines who your customers are. A

As you can see in the picture, I have this model color coded.
In green I have two business models. You don't have to have two. I
just do. You'll understand why in a moment, but let's stay on track
for now...
I have Products on one side, and Services on the other side.
Products then has two branches on it, one for products I have
created, or own some kind of MRR or PLR to, and another branch for
products I am 'affiliated' with. These two types of products are
separately color coded so that I can easily distinguish between the
two.
Each of them falls under the same 'color' of 'Products', and each ofIn green I have two business models. You don't have to have two. I

under, or in the case of 'affiliate marketing,' fit in with.Some of my 'affiliate' products fall under the same
'niche' as products I 'own.' So the book I have own in the Health
Niche, which is a depression book could also have links within the
book to my 'affiliate products' that I have a domain name for in my 'niche' as products I 'own.' So the book I have own in the Health
Niche, which is a depression book could also have links within the
'affiliate products' branch. However, as you can see in my Pets niche,
I don't have my own book on the topic, so I would only drive traffic to
that site via marketing methods and distribution channels.I don't have my own book on the topic, so I would only drive traffic to
The Pets niche has a different colored
'cloud' under the niche header color cloud, is because it's 'yet to be
developed'. But by using that color, I know that it is something I
want to develop.

It's just after midnight here and I am headed for bed. Many hours from now, sometime on January 1, I will release a full report complete with a 'key' for the color coding system I used to make these boards so that you can make your own and use 'information' to make a model, instead of letting it 'overload' you in 2009!

P.S. The report has bigger pictures.
Roses are planted where thorns grow,
And on the barren heath
Sing the honey bees.
