If You are running an Online Work at home Business it is very critical that you create a well organized directory structure. The Obvious advantage of an organized Directory structure is it makes it easy to find what you need. A Less Obvious but More Important Reason is it makes it easy to back up your Online Business Files if they are all in the Same Place.
A very Simple Directory Structure for an Online Business Mimics a File Cabinet. You would have 3 Level of Directories. Your Top level would be the File Cabinet, Your 2nd Level would be the File Drawers and your 3rd Level would be your File Folders.
Step 1 (File Cabinet)
Decide where to place your Top Level Online Business Directory. I suggest creating a Directory Directly under My Documents called My Online Business. You may want to think of this Top Level Directory as a File Cabinet with many Drawers
Step 2 (File Drawers)
Decide what are your 2nd Level Directories (The Drawers of your File Cabinet). Here are some of my 2nd Level Directories or Drawers
- My Programs
- My Downloads
- My Income and Expenses
- My Text Ads
- My HTML Ads
Step 3 (File Folders)
Decide what are the 3rd Level Directories or file Folders Here is what a Finished Directory Structure Might Look Like
- My Documents
- My Online Business
- My Programs
- My Ad Trackers
- My Domains
- My E-mail Accounts
- My Free Programs
- My ISP Accounts
- My Moneymakers
- My Downloads
- My Ebooks
- My Programs/EXEs
- My Zips
- My Income and Expenses
- My Income
- My expenses
- My Text Ads
- My HTML Ads
Now when you want to backup your Business Files all you need to do is copy your Online Business Directory to tape, CD, DVD or some other back-up Device.
