well, if only about in Americas (not India, Africa etc)

Spain - get gold out, make Catholics

France - get fur and fish out, make Catholics. Do not send many French people, just a few missionaries and trappers.

England - make trading partners that grow food and ship masts and tobacco, get those non-Anglican Protestants and the Catholics out of the home country and settle them as mini-Englands over there.
This article can be a springboard for finding additional information on "economic structure" for English colonizing:

Thank you so much that helps :)
