Community Based Business Plan to Help You Monetize Your Passion

Submitted by Teo Graca and Stephen Adler (RSS Feed)

The most powerful connections are made face-to-face, and they can be enhanced through technology. We provide local community-based businesses what they need to find and share effective strategies for referral marketing, best practices in project development, and use of technology to enhance relationships and succeed. It allows each community to be unique and find best practices from other communities that are successful in what they do.

There are 3 key areas we focus on in our business plan, which saves your organization from the pitfalls of failure through a turnkey set of tools and best practices.

Personal Development - It is vital that you are effective in your communications and presentations to others. In this area, we focus on social graces, your elevator speech, and the best practices associated with communications in-person and online.

The Business Plan - It is imperative to have a living document that sets forth your goals and branding strategy. Whether your passion is green living, farming, technology, etc., working out your written revenue, sales, and marketing models is necessary to evaluate the viability of your plan. We offer a standard business plan that can be adapted to any business, which includes everything you need to qualify for capital, grants, loans and other funding sources. Proper funding that can guarantee 3-5 years of operation gives your idea what it needs to succeed. More importantly, your plan establishes a clear path toward your vision so you don't waste time and money creating a successful business - it gets you where you want to be quickly with less mistakes on your way there.

Technology Support - Although we teach the value of in-person networking and events, relationships can be maintained through technology. Technology allows you to automate many of your communications, such as event and other announcements, so that you can focus your time on your in-person efforts. This is also absolutely necessary for efficiency in your advertising and promotions so that your web presence becomes your virtual store front. Technology allows your message to be delivered 24/7 and allows people to get what they need at their convenience, not yours (you can only be in one place at one time)!

To provide access to this plan, we have developed the following steps that allow you to develop yourself personally and participate in conversations around the plan. For anyone that goes through steps one and two below, we will provide details on our plan per request. There is nothing you can't do when you set your mind to it, so let's get started.

Step 1: Take our Entrepreneur Assessment to get a feel for your strengths and weaknesses and how you fit into your business. If you have any weaknesses, you can delegate tasks associated with them to others.

Step 2: Register with our free social networking site "Graceful Expectations", which is dedicated to Entrepreneurs like you that are interested in monetizing their passions. Members get inside information that is only available to our insiders group. This is easy to do and provides access to more information on our business plan, which creates prosperity through cooperation. We are looking for "Community Coordinators" that can follow our step-by-step plan that builds wealth in their areas. Graceful Expectations allows you can create a web page and profile, create blogs, participate in discussions, message other members within the community, comment on other blogs and discussions and import content you create on other article and blogging sites like Article Advocates.

Step 3: Set up a separate domain name and website for your company, even if it is a micro site (one page website). This can be attached to an opt-in page so that you can collect contact information from people interested in your project and business. Micro sites can be used as landing pages for your business, and with the Multiple Domain Marketing site, you can build your own and the cost is as low as $0.60 per month for hosting per domain! These micro sites are fully integrated with over 200 social media sites, blogging systems, Google, Yahoo, aWeber and more valuable tool-sets, as well as a full fledged contact management system that you can use to market the products and services offered by businesses in your area. As Community Coordinator, you become the hub of industry.

Step 4: Publish 1-4 or more informational and/or promotional articles per month on our article syndication site to create your sales funnel. This provides two significant benefits. It draws traffic from social media sites as these articles are shared, and it increases search rankings for every referenced website in each article. Also, the syndication model we have incorporated into our article sharing platform exposes your information on a number of our partners' websites.

I look forward to working with you to help you create a successful online business! - Teo

PS - We have new work-at-home career opportunities available in the areas of technology, sales, marketing and sustainable community development. Community Coordinators facilitate product and service export and import within and outside their communities and can monetize this through their connections. There is a huge opportunity right now for this in many areas where people are thinking of creating local-to-local connections between suppliers and consumers. For example, if you are in an area that grows apples, most of the apples consumed in your area probably don't come from your area, and the local produce is probably exported elsewhere. As communities begin to think about sustainability, we have a plan that can fix this inefficient system in favor of local-to-local servicing of supply and demand.
