3 Simple Steps To Organize Your Critical Online Home Based Business Directory
If You are running an Online Work at home Business it is very critical that you create a well organized directory structure. The Obvious advantage of an organized Directory structure is it makes it easy to find what you need. A Less Obvious but More Important Reason is it makes it easy to back up your Online Business Files if they are all in the Same Place.
A very Simple Directory Structure for an Online Business Mimics a File Cabinet. You would have 3 Level of Directories. Your Top level would be the File Cabinet, Your 2nd Level would be the File Drawers and your 3rd Level would be your File Folders.
Step 1 (File Cabinet)
Decide where to place your Top Level Online Business Directory. I suggest creating a Directory Directly under My Documents called My Online Business.You may want to think of this Top Level Directory as a File Cabinet with many Drawers
Step 2 (File Drawers)
Decide what are your 2nd Level Directories (The Drawers of your File Cabinet). Here are some of my 2nd Level Directories or Drawers
* My Programs
* My Downloads
* My Income and Expenses
* My Text Ads
* My HTML Ads
Step 3 (File Folders)
Decide what are the 3rd Level Directories or file FoldersHere is what a Finished Directory Structure Might Look Like
* My Documents
o My Online Business
+ My Programs
# My Ad Trackers
# My Domains
# My E-mail Accounts
# My Free Programs
# My ISP Accounts
# My Moneymakers
+ My Downloads
# My Ebooks
# My Programs/EXEs
# My Zips
+ My Income andExpenses
# My Income
# My expenses
+ My Text Ads
+ My HTML Ads
Now when you want to backup your Business Files all you need to do is copy your Online Business Directory to tape, CD, DVD or some other back-up Device.
