BUSINESS PLANNING

PART 2

Lesson Plan for New Businesses and Brands

Prepared by Komards NFTS



OVERVIEW & PURPOSE

The purpose of this lesson is to continue from where we left off last week due to time constraints. We are going to continue with the sections and assorted components of the business plan starting with the Executive Summary and will work through as many of the components possible with examples where possible of the Komards NFTS business plans. 

THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The executive summary is generally speaking three to 4 paragraphs and is more of a synopsis. The idea here is to give an informative summary of what the business is and why it will be successful. Most of the time it includes your mission statement, what your products or services are, basic information about the team leadership, team members and location. Sometimes businesses will include a little financial information and a high level growth plan if you are seeking investments from traditional financing or investors.

ADD Quoted text of our Executive Summary

DESCRIPTION

It's in this portion of the business plan that you will include details about your company. You will give details here about the problems your products or services solve and how. You will want to be specific, be sure to list out who your consumers are as well as any organizations or businesses you plan to serve with your products and services.

Take the time to explain your competitive edge or advantages that will guide your business to success. Are there any experts on your team? Why does it work? How does it work? Where is your company or business located?

Use this section of the business plan to boast about the strengths and positive things your business brings to the table.

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission statement is the core purpose you have for your business and the services you provide. It's here that you will go into the nitty gritty of your mission statement and why you place such high value on it and how it will lead you to being successful.

MARKET ANALYSIS

Before you will be able to complete this portion of the business plan you need to have done your homework and have a good understanding of what your market is, how it operates, its dependencies, and your competition. Know what your successful competition is doing, and how you will replicate and make their processes better.

STRUCTURE

What is your business structure? How does the company operate? Under what governance will it operate? Will it change in the future? Why? This section is all about the legal structure and how you will operate, whether you have or intend to incorporate your business as a C or an S corporation, form a general or limited partnership, or if you're a sole proprietor or limited liability company (LLC).

This is where you will show who is in charge of what with regards to your business and its operations. You will want to provide as much detail as you can. If you're seeking investments this section will play a heavy role in the eyes of most investors. You will want to show the assets each member of the team brings to the table. And I am not referring to any financial assets here. There will be a place to include that later in the business plan.

PRODUCTS & SERVICES

This is a fun area of the business plan in my opinion. It gives you the ability to clearly define each of your products and services in detail. You will also use this section to explain how it benefits your consumers. You will also want to answer questions like is there a life cycle for any of your products and services, is there intellectual property? Share your plans here regarding the intellectual property, be it copyrights. Will you be doing resear

Lesson Plan for New Businesses and Brands

Prepared by Komards NFTS



OVERVIEW & PURPOSE

The purpose of this lesson is to help you in the development of a business plan. If you are in the web 3 space with an NFT collection, investing in Crypto currencies, or even the metaverse you are a business. As such you need to make sure you are operating with your best foot forward. To do that you need to make sure you have a thorough and completed business plan. We are here to help with that! 

WHAT IS A BUSINESS PLAN?

 1. A business plan is the foundation of your business according to the Small Business Administration [https://www.sba.gov/business-guide/plan-your-business/write-your-business-plan] in the United States.
 2. 
 3. According to Investopedia [https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/business-plan.asp] a business plan is a document that defines every possible detail of your business, your goals, and how you plan to achieve them.


For those of us that are in the web 3 space we know and often execute roadmaps for our collections and projects. The business plan is the same thing however, it's directed at your overall business. Additionally a business plan will also show you any potential obstacles that you may run into in the future.

WHAT IS IN A BUSINESS PLAN?

There are 6 types of Business Plans according to the Small Business Chron [https://smallbusiness.chron.com/6-types-business-plans-2591.html]. The 6 types are as follows:

 * A Start-up
 * This type of business plan will document and show sections that describe the company, the products and or services you will provide, the market and evaluations of the target market and the team and projected team members. If you're looking for investors they will also require a financial analysis describing all financial aspects of the business including potential incomes, expenditures, profit and loss statements and more.
 * An Internal
 * The internal business plan is designed to target the company internally to allow you to know how the company will operate on an internal level. It will describe the company's current status, the profitability, operating costs, and if the company has or will take on any capital investments, how those will be repaid. This plan often includes a market analysis as well as the target or ideal consumer, and the market's impact on company profit or income.
 * Strategic
 * This plan is all about showing off the strategies the company will be using to achieve company or business goals.  It quite literally would be much like a roadmap as most of you know for NFT projects in web 3. Most of the time this type of plan includes several key elements of business such as; the company's mission statement, the company vision, critical success factors, brand and company objectives, and the strategies the company will use to achieve the objectives of the company.
 * Feasibility
 * The purpose behind a feasibility plan is to help you to determine if the proposed business is feasible. It will help you in answering questions like can the business survive or what kind of growth can be expected and even will the company be able to generate a profit. With regards to what is included in this type of plan it will generally include sections for describing the need, the ideal consumer and target with the demographics of it, and any required capital to get started.
 * Operations
 * Operations business plans are generally held for internal use. These business plans show the details of how you pl

Business Planning Part 1

Lesson Plan for NFT Brands & Businesses
Prepared by Komards NFTS


OVERVIEW & PURPOSE

The purpose of this Komards Klass is to give you all the tools you need to
properly build a brand for your new NFT/Web 3 small business. In this klass we
will walk you through all the steps, thoughts, and processes for branding in an
effective manner with a proper road map, to guide you every day, much like a
business plan or a road map for a project.

WHAT IS A BRAND?

So, what is a brand? Well, a brand isn’t just a name or a logo that you use to
distinguish yourself from others.
Your brand is made up of several elements, including the following:
 * Name
 * Logo
 * Colors
 * Fonts
 * Design
 * Voice
 * Messaging
 * Tagline
 * Behavior
 * Attitude


Your brand decides how other people will perceive you. Whether those people are
within your business or outside it. All of them need to have a good perception
of you.
First impressions aren’t the only ones that are important here. Second, third
and fourth impressions are also really important. It takes an average of 7 to 10
times of being seen before potential consumers take the initial step to commit
to a relationship with you. Thus I can't stress the importance of being
consistent.
People are going to interact with your business. And, if they like what they
see, feel, or perceive from you the ﬁrst time around, that’s great. They will
likely come back for more, which will make you even more successful.
All of that will leave the ﬁrst impression on the people who ﬁrst meet you. But,
the way that you behave in the future will also affect how they see you.
However, if they happen to have a bad experience with you, don’t think that they
will forget about it. In that case, you need to do your best to make it right
and ensure that it never happens again.
Your small business’s brand has the same potential as household brands like
Nike, Apple, or even Twitter and it all starts with the details.
Successful brands go way beyond a high-quality logo and a clever name. A unified
brand fuses everything from products to consumers to positioning into the
combined package that is your company.

IN THE DETAILS

Everything you do as a business and brand are as equally important as the
details of your organization. Here are a few questions you should consider as
you are flushing out your brand.

 * What makes your brand unique? 
 * How is your business different from all your competitors?
 * What do you do better than everyone else?
 * What does your brand stand for?
 * How does your brand make the world (or your consumers' lives) better?
 * What 3 words best describe your brand?


Regardless of what your business is or does you need to understand you will
never please 100% of the people 100% of the time. With that as a business you
will always have to fight for your share of the market in the chosen niche.
What I mean by that is to look at Open Sea. Open Sea holds 80% of the NFT
Marketplace business. Yet we see other marketplaces like Official NFT, Magic
Eden, Rarible, all actively fighting for their share of the market. I promise
they all have goals for how much of the market they are looking to capture.
You are not the only one who wants to build something great from the ground up.
Pay attention to the things your consumers want and need. Don't be afraid to ask
your potential consumers what is a pain for them or what it is that they want or
what would make their lives better. Use tools like polls and Google Forms to
ask. There are a number of other FREE tools and services to get the feedback you
need to ensure that you're meeting their needs. If possible do this before you
launch your business and

YOUR ULTIMATE BRANDING GUIDE

Marketing Tactics That Work
Lesson Plan for Fellow NFT Brands
Prepared by Komards NFTS


OVERVIEW & PURPOSE

The purpose of this lesson is to show you a few strategies that work for organic
growth. We will discuss the use of OPA (Other People's Audiences) as well as
paid marketing and when the right time to use paid marketing might be for your
brand and project.

GET ORGANIC

 1.  Build your brand
 2.  Be on every social media site/app possible
 3.   All your social profiles should be branded identically.
 4.   On social platforms you're not planning to use regularly, create a single
     post that tells people who you are, what you do, why you do what you do,
     and directs people to the platforms you're using regularly.
 5.  Add Value
 6.  Comment on relevant blogs, posts, videos etc. where your thoughts can add
     value. If you are unable to add something of value do not comment.
 7.  Be sure to include a link to the place you want your customer to visit
     where applicable.
 8.  Utilize OPA
 9.  Build meaningful and lasting business relationships with like minded
     brands.
 10. Utilize these relationships to build one another up.
 11. Spread the word about these other brands
 12. Enter a collaboration with these brands.
 13. Create an Affiliate/Referral Program
 14. Reward your consumers and fans
 15. Give them a reason to want to talk about you
 16. Remember each person and brand is different and wants different things.
 17. Some examples could be offering NFTS in return, or perhaps some crypto, or
     maybe even just some recognition and bragging rights.
 18. Build Trust
 19. Be Transparent
 20. Don't hide in the shadows of DM’s or PM’s.
 21. Hold public conversations whenever possible.
 22. Stand by your word!
 23. Keep any and all promises, NEVER over promise
 24. Engage with your consumers
 25. If someone mentions you, comments on a post, or engages in your content in
     some way, make absolutely certain you do the same by being responsive and
     engaged.
 26. For consumers and brands that have shown unyielding support for what you
     are doing, utilize step 3 as indicated above.


TEST

 1. Be open to numerous types of content and strategies
 2. When trying new content keep track of what works VS what don't
 3. Never implement more than 1 new type of content or strategy at a time.
 4. Not doing this will make it harder to track what is and what is not working.
 5. Track the changes using an assortment of analytics tools readily available
    for you.
 6. Never use just one source, combine the results of several analytics sources
    to come up with the average performance of the new type of content or
    strategy.
 7. Utilize this new type of content for no less than 1 week, to get the best
    analytics possible.


WEB PRESENCE ANALYTICS TOOLS

 1. Google [https://google.com]
 2. Do a search for your brand weekly to see the number of links associated with
    your brand. If you are doing it right it should grow weekly.
 3. Google Trends [https://trends.google.com/] is another sub tool you can use
    to quickly get an overview of your brand. If you don't have enough results
    this will not yield any information.
 4. Hootsuite [https://www.hootsuite.com/]
 5. Hootsuite offers a FREE plan that allows you to integrate upto 3 social
    media profiles and draws on nearly 200 different metrics to measure the
    impact of your reach.

Notes

Introduction: What is Open Sea? How do I make the best of it?

Whether you're new or have been in NFTS for a little while or even if you have
been using it for years, there are always questions and the platform is ever
evolving and changing. 
Open Sea is the first and largest marketplace for NFTS. Here you are able to
search, browse, and even list your NFTS. Just because it’s the first and largest
NFT market place don’t mean it’s the best place for you or your project. Don’t
be afraid to look at other marketplaces. Do your homework, and not just for the
marketplace you want to list your project on, but the blockchain you may list
on. Choosing the right marketplace and blockchain are two of the most important
decisions you will have to make for your project.
 * Build your Open Sea profile
 * Brand awareness is key to marketing yourself and your project. Use the same
   name across all platforms you are building your community on. Use the same
   profile image as well. (Think about Nike, you see the swoosh and you know who
   it is even if it’s just the logo.)
 * Banner image usage is as important if not more so because this is additional
   space to allow you to help guide people to take action. You can add your
   linktree address or contact information as an example.
 * Complete the bio section. A lot of people fail to do this and are missing the
   opportunity to tell a story that people can relate to. This is your chance to
   make a first impression and begin building relationships.


Take your time! Let me say it again. TAKE YOUR TIME, building your profile. This
applies to all profiles on all your social platforms and accounts. In other
words do your homework, check for spelling errors, make sure your branding is on
point.

Navigate Open Sea

 * Menu Bars
 * Collected Tab
 * This is essentially your home page on Open Sea.
 * Created Tab
 * This is where the NFTS you have created are shown and stored.
 * Favorite Tab
 * This shows the image you have said are among your favorites.
 * Hidden Tab
 * When someone sends you an NFT unless you have interacted with this is where
   the images generally show up.
 * Activity Tab
 * This shows you all the activities that have taken place on your account.
 * Offers Tab
 * This shows all offers you receive for the NFTS you have either created or in
   your collection.


To utilize this menu bar simply slide the bare from left to right or right to
left. Regardless of the marketplace your using be familiar with it.
The Navigation Breakdown
 * Collected
 * In this section of your Open Sea profile it allows you to see the pieces you
   have collected as well as those you have created. You can sort it in a
   variety of ways and even view in list or grid view.
 * Do not be afraid to spend some time looking around on this page and learning
   all the settings and features, and that applies to every page available to
   you.
 * Created
 * This section not only shows you the pieces you have created but your
   collections that you have built.
 * Favorite

   it or make an offer on it? This is where you see them.

HOW DOES BLOCKCHAIN WORK

You should know that the name “Blockcahin” was not an accident or mistake. This
digital ledger is often referred to as a “chain” that’s made up of numerous
“blocks” of data. As new and or fresh data is added to the network, a new
“block” is created and attached to the “chain.” This process involves all nodes
updating their version of the blockchain ledger to be identical.
The key here is the way in which these new blocks are created and why they are
considered to be extremely secure. Its set up that a majority of these nodes
must verify and confirm the legitimacy of any new data before a new block is
permitted to be added to the ledger. For any cryptocurrency, they might involve
ensuring that new transactions in a block were not fraudulent, or that coins had
not been spent more than once. Thus making it different from a standalone
database or spreadsheet, where one person can make changes without any oversight
or standards.
After there is a majority confirmation the block is added to the chain and the
underlying transactions are recorded in the distributed ledger. Blocks are
securely linked together, forming a secured digital chain from the beginning of
the ledger to the present.
Transactions are typically secured using cryptography, meaning the nodes need to
solve complex mathematical equations to process a transaction. Each transaction
typically has a code. That code has to be unlocked. Then these nodes/miners run
thousands of potential combinations like that on a combination padlock to
confirm the transaction.
Typically as a reward for validating and confirming these transaction there is
a  reward for their efforts in validating changes to the shared data, nodes are
typically rewarded with new amounts of the blockchain’s native currency—e.g.,
new bitcoin on the bitcoin blockchain.

PUBLIC VS PRIVATE

It's important to note there are both public and private blockchains. Public
blockchain allow for anyone to participate meaning they can read, write or audit
the data on the blockchain. Notably, it is very difficult to alter these
transactions logged in a public blockchain as no single authority controls these
nodes.
On the other side a private blockchain, is controlled by an entity such as an
organization or group. Only that entity can decide who is invited to the system
plus it has the authority to go back and alter the blockchain. This private
blockchain process is more similar to an in-house data storage system except
spread over multiple nodes to increase security.
This leads me into the next area of interest and point.

HOW TO USE BLOCKCHAIN

Blockchain technology can and is used for many different purposes, from
providing financial services to administering voting systems. Here is a list of
the most common uses so far. Understand that we continue to use blockchain and
it will evolve to do more.

Cryptocurrency

This is one of the most common uses of blockchain. Today it is the backbone of
cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin
[https://www.newscientist.com/definition/bitcoin/] or Ethereum
[https://ethereum.org/en/what-is-ethereum/]. When people buy, exchange or spend
cryptocurrency, the transactions are recorded on a related blockchain. The more
people use cryptocurrency, the more widespread blockchain will become.
“Because cryptocurrencies are volatile, they are not yet used much to purchase
goods and services. But that is changing as PayPal, Square and other money
service businesses make digital asset services broadly available to vendors and
retail customers,” notes Patrick Daugherty.

Banking

Beyond cryptocurrency, blockchain is being used to process transactions in fiat
currency, like dollars and euros. This could be faster than sending money
through a bank or other financial institution

WHAT IS BRANDING
Branding is who you are, your company’s identity, personality, and values.
Branding should be reflected in everything you do, from product development to
marketing, employee relations to office design. In order to determine who your
brand is, you need to ask yourself several questions. These are an excellent
place to begin:
• What are your core principles and values?
• What is your mission statement?
• What inspired you to build your business?
• Why do you want to offer your products or services to your target audience?
• What makes you unique?
• What is your internal company culture?
• What is your professional sense of style?
• What are your communication characteristics?
• What do you want to come to mind when someone hears your business name?
• How do you want people to feel when they think of your business?
• How do you want customers to describe you as a company?

Branding & Marketing Fundamentals

OVERVIEW & PURPOSE

The purpose of this lesson is to share my experiences and what is working for us
to aid in growth with regards to creating and posting quality content on social
media platforms.

Keys To Content for NFT Success

Time Management for NFT Success
Lesson Plan for Fellow Project Owners
Prepared by Komard of Komards NFTS


OVERVIEW & PURPOSE

The purpose of this lesson is to share my experience and time management skills
with fellow project owners in the NFT Space. This will help you manage your time
more efficiently to be more productive overall, and lead you to becoming a
successful business. 

WHAT IS TIME MANAGEMENT

Time management is utilizing the hours you have in a day to be the most
productive you can be. It is the process of planning and controlling what time
you spend on various activities. By having good time management skills and
managing your time properly you will find that you can get more accomplished
faster and more efficiently, thus lowering stresses, and most importantly leads
to career success.
Time management involves both managing your own time and the time of others on
your team and community. Saving time saves the organization money and increases
revenue. Having good time management skills involves being able to analyze your
workload, assigning priorities, and maintaining focus on productive endeavors,
tasks, and obligations.
You ever ask yourself how is Charlie Brown able to get so much done? Or how John
Doe has the time to get everything done the way they do, while you find yourself
running around like a mad person to accomplish what you need to.
In the NFT Space it's not likely that those individuals have less to do but that
could be the case for some. But what is more likely is that they have acquired
the skills needed to manage their time effectively.

THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

The biggest reason its is so important to develop effective time management
skills is because few if any of us actually have enough time in our days to get
everything we believe we need accomplished. People who have these time
management skills down have the ability to accomplish most any task they have in
an efficient and productive manner. What skills are they using specifically?
For myself the biggest and best tool I have is the use of scheduling and the use
of Google Calendar (FREE TOOL). But we will get more into that in a few minutes.
So how do we begin implementing strategies and practices to make us more
efficient and productive? Where do I start?

SCHEDULING
For me scheduling is hands down one of the best places to start. Scheduling is
important because some tasks have to be done at or by a specific time.
Scheduling can affect your day, your week, your month, in addition to that of
other people’s workflow and time. Most of us have specific times of the day when
they are more or less productive as a result of energy levels, demands of the
day, and even unplanned disruptions or distractions. Schedules can be a good way
to avoid procrastination, as well.
We (Komards NFTS) utilize software to help us manage these schedules. There are
a number of different scheduling softwares available including CRM (Customer
Relationship Management) and calendars. Here are some examples:
 * Scheduling Software (Ex. Our Google Calendar can be seen at
   https://bit.ly/Komards-NFTS)
 * Be Intentional (deliberate or purposive) - with what you put on your
   calendar.
 * Punctuality (Being on Time) - Being late can be considered to be a lack of
   caring about the task at hand. You never want to give people a reason to
   think you dont care.
 * Breaking broader goals into milestones - You have the ability to use the
   calendars or CRM’s to set goals and break them down into more manageable
   tasks and milestones to aid you on your path to completing the goals you have
   established.
