Creating folders and files for a small business

Pick a small business to work with. For example, you could work with a pre-school, a dental clinic, a moving company, or ....? You can pick a different industry that you are more familiar with!

You need to organize the business for the client. They need five separate folders to keep their records. One folder will be called "Business Plan" and you will need to write a sample business plan and put it inside the folder. Click here to learn more about how to do it.

The next folder will be called "Advertising" and inside you will create a sample ad using Microsoft Paint.

The third folder will be called "Competitors" and you will have two saved web pages of your competitors.

The fourth and fifth folders are up to you. Think of possibilities and put a sample document in each. You may use notepad or Paint or ???

After these five folders are created you will zip them up and upload them to http://www.mediafire.com/

Then copy the URL and post it on your blog.
