Intro:
There are a lot of things happening on the internet. Some people are doing only one thing, while others are doing everything. If you are not using the internet and
you want to start, or, if you are using it and you want to optimize or expand your usage, here is some basic information and resources which will help you.
Use an outline! It will help you to identify the issues and relationships. You can use it as a map of your entire internet program.
**What do you want? What do they want?**
Basics:
Research the internet first. Learn it. What does it have to offer. How can you use it.
Develop a plan. Look at what others have done and learn from them.
Ask your customers what they want and need.
Ask your staff what they want and need.
Use the internet to become efficient first (reduce your expenses), then try to market and expand.
Always test everything first,..evaluate, revise and evaluate again!!
Be prepared to constantly change your internet program.
Make your internet program a permanent budget item.
The internet does not create business, you do. The internet allows you to create business in an affordable and effective fashion.
Your internet program will only be as good as you learn it, design it and use it!!!
**What do you want? What do they want?**

Keys:
TMN: Time Money Numbers
Try to evaluate everything you do with these 3 concepts in mind. This will assist in identifying advantages, objectives, and shortfalls.
CIA: Competitive Information Acquisition
How will you use the internet to acquire information which makes you more competitive. Do you know how to find the information? Do you know how
to use the information? Does this process save you money? Does it make you money?
PREP: Plan Research Evaluate Prioritize
Plan. Develop a plan for everything! What will you do? Who will do it? Why? What will the result(s) be? How will you finance your
program? How will you integrate it with staff?
Research everything which is available! Maintain a front seat in the classroom of internet technology. Watch what others do, learn from them.
Evaluate everything you do. How will you measure success / failure? What anticipatory plans will you have in place to fix / improve / revise?
Prioritize your plans and your efforts. You can't do everything at once. Which issues are the most important? Which issues allow you to move on
to the next steps? What will you do first? Second? Develop your program to be phased-in over time.
