How I started this online business ...
...and how you will have a headstart for your own venture!
OR...
Why build a Web site, when you can build a Web BUSINESS?
|
Visitors to this site often ask me how to get an online business like mine going.
I'll be honest - for me it didn't happen overnight! (What does eventually happen overnight - literally! - is that a site like this makes sales while you sleep ;-) )
So, when I first started, there was only one way to do it: months of surfing the internet to find out how to...
- Find the right product or service that is suitable to selling on the Internet;
- Learn the site-building ropes for a site that really sells;
- Master the art of directing targeted traffic to your site.
This was when it all started to come together.
This site - Homeboundbooks.com - is the direct result of following the detailed advice in this book.
BUT...
(...and this is where even I missed out, but where YOU have a distinct advantage!)
Even with MYSS! I still had to really dig into many technical site-building and marketing aspects of the process of selling on the Web.
Not everyone who just wants to get going and sell their product or service wants to spend months getting the technical side sorted out!
Even with MYSS! - which opened up the Web-frontier to many of us - Ken Evoy and his team knew about the thousands of prospective "work-from-homers" and other netpreneurs who wanted to give it a go on the Web, but were put off by the technicalities of things like hosting, HTML, CGI, FTP, Search Engine submissions, and other daunting aspects of the process.
So Ken & Co got (even more!) active...
...and after an intensive development and testing phase Site Build It! (SBI!) was born.
What will SBI! do for you?
- Domain Name Registration: You choose your domain name and SBI! will register it for you;
- Web Site Hosting: Top-quality Web hosting and e-mail (including catchall and redirects) for a full year;
- Brainstorming and Researching: Highly sophisticated tools to brainstorm and pick profitable topics for your site;
- Point-and-Click Site-Building: Create a site with your own custom look and feel and navigation (or choose from professional templates) - with no html, cgi, perl, ftp, or javascript knowledge needed;
- Search Engine Optimization: SBI! analyzes your pages and tells you how to optimize them for high Search Engine ranking, which yields substantial free traffic;
- Automatic Search Engine Submission and Re-submission: SBI! "hand-submits" to all the major engines. Then it tracks and reports on spider visits, index-listing, and Search Engine ranking;
- Pay-Per-Click Search Engine Research: Make each comprehensive pay-per-click traffic-building campaign a snap, instead of the mind-numbing tedious affair that it normally is;
- Traffic Stats and Click Analysis: Traffic stats are a must. But SBI!'s stats are distilled into an easy-to-understand, useful, and actionable format;
- E-zine (Electronic Newsletter) Subscription and Delivery: Deliver great content to subscribers through your own theme-related e-zine;
- Powerful Graphic Tools: Build your own totally custom, polished, and professional site logos, left-margin navigational button bars and Web page templates.
Whereas I had to learn to build a web SITE first...
...with SBI! you can build a web BUSINESS right from day one!
