I'm sure that you have thought, at one time or another, about how to create a variety of systems for your online business. And I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if you felt a bit daunted by the prospect of doing so. Here's a simple way to overcome this challenge.
What is a system?
A system is nothing more than detailed description of what you do in order to accomplish a particular process in your business. For example, when you create a new product, there are certain activities that you complete, not only to make the product, but also to upload it and distribute it.
The same thing is true of sales pages, shopping carts, web sites, and anything else you do to make your online business work.
How do you create a system?
Here is a simple approach that I'm sure will work for you.
Step 1 - write down everything that you know has to be done. Don't worry about putting it in the right order. Just get the information down on paper. I recommend that you write it out by hand. This may help you to think through the process more effectively.
If it helps, close your eyes, and imagine what the process looks like.
Step 2 - rearrange all of the tasks so that they occur in the order that is necessary to accomplish the entire process as quickly and accurately as possible. Systems are created to save you time; so make sure that your's are as efficient as you can make them.
Step 3 - test it. Don't assume that you've remembered everything. You'll find that if you don't test it while it's fresh in your mind, that you'll find it difficult to follow or that you might forget an important step. Of course, you won't know it's important until later when you are relying on the accuracy of the system. I've lost a whole day on occasion because I had forgotten how to do something that was important.
Step 4 - Test it again in a week. Don't go through the process for an entire week. Let it "get out of your system." Then go through it again. Ask yourself, is it as easy to follow as you expected?
Step 5 - Amend your system as necessary. Then print it and put it in a binder that you have for all of your other systems.
