I Created a Niche Store Checklist

icon1 Posted by Rochelle in Misc. on 04 4th, 2008 | 14 responses

When I first started making stores with Build A Niche Store (BANS) I had no idea what I was doing or how to proceed. Not only were my early stores very disorganized but I wasn’t consistent with what I did to them. One might have a privacy policy, while others don’t. Another might have been submitted to directories but I forgot to do it on the rest. And so on.

Now that I’m participating in Mark’s Build A Niche Store Empire in 12 Weeks series I’m finding that I’m still disorganized and inconsistent, but it’s getting worse because I’m creating sites faster than ever. The sad thing is I don’t even know which stores need additional attention at this point.

To combat this problem and get control of my sites I have created a Niche Store Checklist. Don’t be surprised if this checklist changes as I think of more things to add to it.

Now I will be able to print a checklist for every store. Using this checklist I will be able to see exactly what I’ve done to each store and what still needs to be done.

The inspiration for this checklist was Mark’s Niche Store Worksheet. If you find my checklist to be of benefit then I encourage you to look at his worksheet, too.

You are free to link to my checklist but please link to this post instead of to the download link.

Download my Niche Store Checklist. When you click the link to the checklist a PDF file will open. You can save this to your desk by clicking the ‘Save a Copy’ button in your PDF reader (it may say something slightly different).

    [...] In an effort to organize my sites and make sure I’ve done the same things to each of them I created a Niche Store Checklist. You can download it from my blog here. [...]

    So, are there supposed to be hyperlinks in the worksheet? It looks like some elements are supposed to be. They aren’t working for me. Other than that, very handy checklist.

    Josh,

    Yes, there are links in the checklist. Each link goes to instructions on how to do whatever the linked item is. Interesting that you can’t access the links.

    When I tried the checklist on my PC the links worked as I intended them to, which uses Windows XP. Right now I’m on my laptop, which uses Vista, and I, too, can’t access the links (well, I can, but not as intended and I’ll explain what I mean). The operating systems may have nothing to do with this issue but I’m mentioning it in case it is relevant.

    I actually can access the links, but not by placing my mouse over the links. I found, purely on accident, that if I place my mouse the left of the links that I am able to click a link. For some reason the link is over the blank area of each linked line.

    Anyone have thoughts on what’s going on? This is the first PDF file that I have created and I admit to not knowing much about them.

    I’m running Windows XP and I can’t get any of the links to work either.

    By golly you are right, Rochelle. I just click the empty space to the left of the text and the link is there. As for the problem, I wish I could help. I haven’t used software to create pdf files before. Perhaps if you told us what software you used, someone might have an answer…

    Rochelle, I have been an admire in the background. You have got it together. I plan on dissecting every word, phase-you have so much information to offer. Your BAN Checklist is great and works as you described. Windows XP Home & Pro. Keep it up. Thanks a bunch!!!!!

    Paul,

    I’m so glad you think I have it together. Lol!! The truth is I’m not as together as I’d like to be. That’s why I created the checklist. Heck, that’s partly why I created this entire blog site. I wrote a bunch of instructions for myself and they were getting lost on my computer. This way they are all in one, easy to find location.

    Regardless of that, I’m really glad the information here is helpful to you.

    It seems rather odd to have it right justified like that — I keep expecting to find Arabic text instead. That may also be part of the reason so many of the links are cut off (hidden, actually) by white space, too?

    Wow, just what I was looking for. I’m going to print it out and do as it says. Have a GREAT day and thanks so much.

    The fact that you did a worksheet is awesome. I truly appreciated, i wanted to do one myself but didn’t have the time. Again, thank you.
