How I made a website about
family survival . . .

. . . and why you need a website too.

So many people have asked me questions about my websites that I decided to create this page to answer some of them.

Like I said on my previous About Me page, I have ALWAYS wanted to work from home. If you're like me you probably hate waking to the sound of an alarm clock, rushing through the early morning hours in order to get to a JOB on someone else's time schedule. I don't know about you, but it certainly raises my blood pressure . . . and my irritability level!

That's why I was so excited when I read about Site Build It! on the Internet. Sure I had doubts. Was it for real? Could I really create a business? I'm not a professional writer - could I write all the content needed? Could I come up with a subject that people would actually like and read?

After purchasing my SBI site, the answer to all those questions unfolded over several months with a resounding "YES"! Sure it's work - especially for me as writing has always been difficult for me - ever since my school days. And, no, just writing pages of information doesn't pay off immediately. Like I said before, this is not a "get rich quick" project. This is building a business - one that will allow you to quit your job!

Don't believe me? See what others have said then. I'm not the only one. There are thousands of SBI owners who have quit their jobs - and many make lots more money than I do! Here are some of their comments:

SBI! makes online business success do-able.

Anyone can succeed with an all-in-one process, tools, and guidance. There is an Action Guide that provides a step-by-step process, in both written and video formats. All you have to do is follow it. Seriously! The most successful SBI! owners say "all they did was follow the Guide." The key is not to get sidetracked, or have to guess at what to do next. Following the Action Guide helps you reach your goals.

Because they have simplified the whole process to such a degree, success (meaning profits and not just the presence of a website) is possible even for a beginner. If you are an experienced person, achieving success is even smoother. SBI! really does change lives.

But what will I write about?

I know, choosing your subject (best site concept) is not easy - and not always as obvious as you might think. Brainstorm It! and Niche Choose It! are two powerful programs that will help you choose the best path for whatever business you choose. They may reveal some surprises, but will definitely help you make the right choice.

SiteSell.com was established by Dr. Ken Evoy in 1997. He wrote several books that have helped hundreds of thousands or people learn to write content that engages and sells (or pre-sells). They used to be sold by SiteSell but are now free. You can download and read them right now. Choose Make Your Content PREsell! or Make Your Words Sell! or Make Your Knowledge Sell or read them all! They will definitely teach you about "Web-writing" and online business.

Ken Evoy provides a rare level of dedication to his customers. He's extremely active in the SBI! forums with over 5000 posts to date. He makes a tremendous personal effort to help people succeed and is highly passionate about helping people build businesses online. Anyone who owns SBI! can benefit from his extraordinary Internet business insights.

But how will I make money from my website?

This is my favorite part of SBI - Monetize It! It helps you choose the best monetization options for your site concept. There are many ways to make money from your website, like AdSense, affiliate marketing, selling eGoods, online auction selling - and more. Even network marketing works with SBI! Monetize It! will help you create several revenue streams to maximize your site's profitability and ensure long-term growth.

But I don't know anything about building websites.

When you follow the Action Guide, it will teach you exactly how to do it when it's time to create your site's Look & Feel. SBI! provides fully customizable, easy-to-use templates. You can choose and create a professional-looking website, even if you have no design skills. And if you're a designer, you can create and upload your own. This page shows a range of styles.

How will my website get noticed by the search engines?

To announce your site to Search Engines, you need to submit a specialized file called a "Sitemap XML" file. SBI! does it all automatically. This has been a huge time saver for me. I don't have to worry about submitting to search engines or even how it's done. Because it's all done "behind the scenes" your site can quickly achieve wider distribution and attract more targeted free traffic.

Then there are the search engine spider/listing/ranking reports SBI! does for you. These reports let you see how your pages are being handled by the Search Engines. You can see what pages rank best and drive traffic. The information from these reports helps you determine how to increase traffic and monetization. Most pros don't have easy and reliable access to this type of information.

Do you like blogging?

SBI! does the work for you - it's all automatic. You'll enjoy all the benefits of a blog without the extra work, 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.

Yes, I know - there's a free WordPress version for blogging. But did you know you can't put any type of monetization on those free versions? I don't know . . . full blogging seems to be a stress-and-labor-intensive way to create time-sensitive content. WordPress is the best way to blog. But it doesn't build online businesses. SBI! does. WordPress or SBI? This might help you decide.

And if you like the interaction with your readers, SBI! has a unique program that allows that interaction like the comments in blogs. Best of all, your visitors create content for you. It's called Content 2.0. You can turn any page on your site into an invitation for your visitors to add content or comments. C2 then allows other visitors to comment and rate the page much like on a blog. This means your site will have more Search Engine attractive pages. Having more site pages means the Search Engines will rank your pages higher and that leads to more traffic. This wonderful chain of events that is continuous through the contributions of your visitors!

SBI! is for everyone!

If you are a Mom, working from home can be the best thing that ever happened for your children.

With the economy like it is today, retirees can use extra money. And with all the knowledge you have acquired? Wow! What an asset you can be to others!

And what a perfect way for university students to support themselves. Do homework for several hours, then put in an hour or two a day on your website. It will make you money while you sit in class or do homework. Perfect job!

Need more proof?

I did. I wanted to know if people really got results. So I read the comparisons of SBI!'s features with Yahoo! Web Hosting Pro, Verisign Web Business Expert and Microsoft bCentral Professional. The difference is striking.

Then I checked out their "results" pages. Wow! I'm sure they didn't make these up. And they didn't. I have "met" these people in the forums. And you won't believe the "pay it forward" attitude of the SBI! forums. On top of all the training provided, the forums are where you learn the nitty-gritty of running your business. These people are the MOST helpful I have ever encountered. And as I mentioned above, Ken Evoy is a very frequent contributor there. It's always insightful when he comments on a subject.

If you want to know how all this ties together, here's a Quick Tour of how it all works.

And if you are the kind of person who likes hands-on help and the discipline of weekly lessons, there's always SBI! eLearning. SBI! eLearning opens up the dream of SBI! success to literally everyone, everywhere.
