Before you even think about building a site, you need to plan your site “on paper” so you know
exactly how you want to lay out your site. You need to have a clear idea in your head what you want
your site to achieve and how you are going to reach this goal.
It's much easier to add, delete, and shuffle the structure and content of your site on paper.
Once your paper sitemap is looking just as you want it to, it becomes a valuable tool that will
enable you to build, market, and monetize your site much faster!
Keep your plan with you all the way through the process of building your site.
How do you go about Building Your Paper SiteMap?
The research you've done so far should supply the information you need to make these decisions:
Which keywords will you use for your Domain Name Which keywords will you use for your Categories? How many categories are you going to start with? Where are you getting the content from? What affiliate programmes are you going to promote? Which article links to which? What is the 'look and feel' of your site? Are you going to have a blog? How many autoresponders are you going to need?
These are all things that you will need to think about as you get your paper site map together.
If you do this step correctly it will help you build a true plan for your site instead of starting
to publish willy-nilly.

makes the difference between sites that produce absolutely zero and a profitable site.
