A little bubbly but a good start I think on a graphic to quickly and clearly represent all the items needed to make sure your website is s success. It is worth noting that another graphic just like this can be drawn up about every bubble in this graphic. Although this is a quick sketch that will be refined it does give a good outline. We needed a graphic to show tomorrow at a presentation for a new website and website model.

I hope to get accross one point above any others... content is king, nothing of value can be done, planned, designed, tweeted etc if there is not good and regular content on your website to back it up.

Most start-up businesses suffer from the same problem which is “how do I market myself effectively online ?” This problem arises for start ups with and without financial backing, and can be just as disruptive for both if not achieved.  The key to effective online marketing is the idea that you don’t need a marketing degree to be successful, you just need to have a good business plan and be a little savvy in the following departments; Online Advertising and Websites.

Having a good business plan is very important to the success of the business, not only because it helps you gain funding but also because it gives you and your business direction. You can format your visions and your market very effectively by having the information on paper. You can also make projections which can be kept as reference to your success in the future.
