Organizing Internet Marketing Business Projects
If you have been doing internet marketing for a while, I am sure you will have gathered a large amount of information, which is often scattered all over your computer in various folders.
One of the biggest problems for internet marketers is organizing all the information they have accumulated for various projects. If you are disorganized then your day-to-day internet marketing business will suffer. You will get frustrated and waste many hours a day just looking for files that you need.
If you decide to get yourself more organized you will face a few problems.
- The first problem is trying to figure out what information to store for a project, and the best way to organize it.
- The next problem is trying to define and create a project folder structure that you can re-use every time you start a new project. This standard way of doing things will make things so much easier when you need to locate something.
- The third problem comes when you realize that some information relates to many projects and is best kept centrally.
What is needed is a logical system for storing all this information.
Personally, what I have used for quite some time is the IM Index, which helps me to keep everything related to my internet business organized, saving me a lot of time and frustration when I need to find something fast. Before I got it I sometimes spent ages looking for something I needed for a project but couldn’t find it because it wasn’t where it should logically be.
The IM Index front end is a mind map, which is useful because you can get a good overview of how everything is structured, with the emphasis on structured. Here’s a picture of how it looks.
The IM Index will help you to create a logical folder system for storing all your internet marketing related files and help you with locating them quickly. It was created by Alex Goodall who is a knowledge analyst, which basically means he knows all about organizing information in a logical, sensible fashion.
I won’t pretend setting up everything inside the IM Index system will be a piece of cake because you have to make many decisions on how to use it with your existing files. It’s not something you can just start using without a lot of thought.
Depending on how much information you have already, this could be a big and time-consuming task, but once you have done it you will feel a HUGE sense of relief and control and freedom! I have just got the new version called IM Organizer Pro which improves on what was already a good product.
Alex has allowed me to give you a free copy of the IM Index Organizer so you can get an idea of what it looks like and how useful it is.

When it comes down to it, all businesses need good organization, even home internet businesses, and the IM Index will help you to do just that. If you have slipshod organization then you have a slipshod business. And businesses like that very rarely succeed.
