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
          o 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.
