Ok, so yesterday was day 1 of the breakthrough pilot. My 2 actions for yesterday were:
- Create a plan for the research week
- Come up with 3 questions to ask successful people in the industry.
So, here’s the 3 questions that I’ve come up with:
1. Would you be able to share some of the lessons you have learnt during your time in this business?
2. How long did it take you to build up your business to the point of achieving pretty good income?
3. Would you be able to recommend other people that I should also talk to, to get some more insight and knowledge about being successful online?
and here’s the research week plan (names of people to tell are cut off to protect the innocent :), but those are real people that I’ve decided to contact on each day):
Day 1:
Action 1 = Build plan for first week (Research phase)
Action 2 = Prepare list of 3 questions to send to people I need to know
Day 2:
Action 1 = Find some initial names of people to contact
Action 2 = Research various ways of getting income online
Tell 1 = W
Tell 2 = P
Tell 3 = Blogging this
Request 1 = J
Request 2 = Result from action 1
Day 3:
Action 1 = Obtain names of people making money through blogging
Action 2 = Research some blogging platforms
Tell 1 = H
Tell 2 = A
Request: Results from action 1
Day 4:
Action 1 = Obtain names of people making money through affiliates
Action 2 = Research how affiliates work and requirements
Tell 1 = R
Tell 2 = D
Request: Results from action 1
Day 5:
Action 1 = Obtain names of people making money through portals / selling products online
Action 2 = Find out if there are other options of making money online and research them
Tell 1 = R
Tell 2 = A
Request: Referrals from previous requests
Day 7:
Action 1 = Decide on which method to go with
Action 2 = Decide on site name
Action 3 = Think of designers for site (A, P, B, designoutpost.com…)
Tell 1 = H
Tell 2 = T
Request (design cost + availability of designer)
1. A
2. P
3. B
Day 8:
Action 1 = Build plan for 2nd week (Action week)
There you go, please feel free to suggest on different things I should venture to research and people to contact. The plan is open to change, and ditto for the 3 questions.
