How SBI Turned My Passion for Aruba Into This Profitable Web Business
In my “About Us” page I tell the story of my romantic Aruba destination wedding and how my passion for the island compelled me to create a website in order to share Aruba with you and the world. On this page, please allow me to tell you how exciting it is to actually be building my own travel website. It was easy to turn my passion for a romantic island in the Caribbean into an income earning web business with Site Build It! (SBI for short). But the road was not always this straightforward. I always wanted to start my own business, working at home on my own time. But without a degree in business, not knowing a single thing about starting one for that matter, how was I going to do it? About 8 years ago, I was invited to start a business selling candles at home parties. It was fun for a while, and I made did make some money. But, I always felt a little sleazy begging my friends and family to “do a show” and offering incentives to anyone who would offer up the names and phone numbers of their friends and family. So, when my close friends started avoiding me, I knew it was time to quit the candle show business, leaving me with tons of inventory. So, I got an eBay seller account and I learned the ins and outs of online auctions. I sold most of the stock items for a profit. Easy Peasy! I remember thinking to myself how easy it would be to run my candle business if the company allowed its sales consultants to sell the products online. No sales pitches, no soliciting friends for leads. But, alas! They did not. By the way, if you are interested on eBay, "Make Your Net Auction Sell!, The Masters Course" is very helpful. You can download it FREE,
from my e-book page. I even got suckered into purchasing a so-called turn-key website for an initial $5,000 start-up. They made it sound so easy at the free seminar. (ha!) The problem was I knew nothing about building websites, and they did not provide technical support. They would not answer my questions like… I quickly realized, after several long and very uncooperative phone calls to their "support" center, that search engine submission and other marketing tools were additional costs. These tools also required many months of learning the complicated technology to operate them. Frustrated, I gave up after not making a single cent. Not to mention that my bank account was now almost empty. Was I doomed to spend the rest of my life in a dull grey cubicle simply because it guaranteed a paycheck? (psssst...SBI! (Site Build It!) Includes a step by step manual that easily walked me through each of those steps above for Aruba-Sunsets.com. I did not need to know HTML code or complex computer web forms. It even submits all my pages to the Search Engines for free. It's all included in the package! Check out the Step by Step Action Guide for yourself, here. Keep reading to find out more.) Our recent trip to Aruba reignited that travel spark and the desire to be my own boss. I was reminded that there was so much more to life than traffic jammed freeways, and cramped cubicles. We hadn’t wanted to leave Aruba. Our jobs dictated that we must. So, we promised each other we would return someday soon. But, the thought of pinching pennies for the next few years was not appealing to me at all... I needed another stream of income...Something that I could do part time (for now)...And something that would still make money even if we decided to live in Aruba... I needed an online business that allowed me to work from home, (wherever home might be.) I recently learned that there is actually a term for this... Location Independent Entrepreneur. Hmmm! I knew I was just as smart, if not smarter than some of these people who made a good living at home, from the internet. I just needed an honest and sincere mentor to show me the ropes. (I found 4!) They say “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” I don’t remember where or how I got it, but, I came across a downloadable electronic book (e-book) written by 4 work-at home-moms. It was called The Work-at-Home Masters Course, and was a step-by-step guide showing how these women were earning good livings working for themselves from their computer, using the internet and a company called Site Build It! (SBI!). These moms were the honest and sincere mentors I was seeking. You can get your own free copy of their Work-at-Home Masters Course here. Or by visiting my Free Business E-books Page. (You will need Adobe PDF Reader to read this file.) At first I was skeptical. Who wouldn’t be after all the time, energy, and money I lost in my previous endeavors? But, my desires to be creative and independent were intrigued by SBI’s no risk guarantee, and besides Ken Envoy, (owner of Site Build It) and his team answered all of my questions and addressed my concerns BEFORE I put down my hard earned cash. This was the beginning of my online success. I made the commitment, and purchased SBI!, and started reading the Action Guide. It took me a few weeks of researching the correct key words and the perfect URL name. Then a few more months of writing content and pages for the web, build good links, and start a e-zine and mailing list. I proudly shout "I did it all myself with the help of SBI!" Aruba-Sunsets.com continues to grow and thrive. SBI! makes online business success do-able. Anyone can succeed with an all-in-one process, the right tools, and step-by-step guidance. Anyone who is not making money from the internet is either not using SBI or just making lame excuses.
Here are some of the biggest excuses I have heard. (And yes, I even made a few of them myself , before SBI.) SBI! is the only product that takes the time to prepare you to build a profitable business, before you jump into building your site. For the beginner, your learning curve will be shorter and you'll bypass any major mistakes. For those experienced in site-building, SBI! deepens your level of understanding. No matter who you are, you are guided all the way until you succeed. The Action Guide presents a step-by-step process, presented in both written and video formats. All you have to do is follow it. Really! The most successful SBI! owners say "all they did was follow the Guide." SBI! comes with unlimited Customer Support. SBI! owners often call it the best they've ever experienced. And the SBI! Forums complete the picture. They are the most friendly, help-and-be-helped set of e-business forums in the world. Too many non-SBI! sites start without profits being "built into" the process from DAY 1. It all begins with the right process. Content Page creation is as simple as riding a bike with its training wheels still attached. No need to know HTML. The block-by-block builder trains you how to write a page that is both "Search Engine and human effective." It's simple, do-able and most importantly, effective site-building. The block-by-block builder is perfect for beginners, but even many "advanced" users should start with this tool. It's an excellent way to break bad habits! To announce your site to Search Engines, you need to submit a specialized file called a "Sitemap XML" file. SBI! does it all automatically, a huge time saver, that enables you to quickly achieve wider distribution and attract more targeted free traffic. List-building and e-mail marketing are included with SBI(usually these expensive features are bought separately). Sign up visitors to your e-zine subscription list and then mail an issue to them. This repeat exposure builds a stronger bond with your visitors and allows for direct promotions to them. Automatic site blogging turns your site into a blog easily. You'll enjoy all the benefits of a blog without needing extra skills or additional software. For those experienced with blogging, auto-pinging for your SBI! blog keeps your site on the Search Engines' radar. All of this helps attract more traffic. SBI! has a no-risk, 30-day money back guarantee. It's a risk-free decision that you can make with confidence and peace of mind.
