In 2002, after our Candle business took off in the local malls, we
decide it was time to build a website. I had grand dreams of the
momentous traffic that would come to our beautiful candle site that
would convert into sales.
Well, that dream was pushed by the
wayside, at least temporarily. Like many of you, I bought a hosting
package with a site builder program. I believe it was biz-hosting.
They are probably still around. Don't get me wrong, the company was
amazing to work with. It's just the product is limited. You will
build a beautiful site but it will be sitting pretty in the middle
of nowhere.
Building my first site was a cinch! I clicked a
button and a photo was added of our candles. I clicked another
button and text appeared. I built our website and it sure was
beautiful, but beauty isn't everything as the saying goes. I think
our first year it brought in a whopping $600 in sales, which were
out of town referrals from a few of our local customers.
I stumbled upon a system called SBI. Let me share with you what I have learned from SBI. I need only to follow this simple concept and it just magically works! The secret formula is (ssshhh ...):
Content
Traffic
PREsell
Monetize
SBI takes me by the hand, teaches me step-by-step how to do
every little thing from scratch. In the following 6 months
our traffic skyrocketed. That traffic converted into sales. That
first year we went from $600 total for the year to making $6,000 a
month and it continued and still continues to grow with leaps and
bounds today!
So, let's talk more about this sbi system. When
I signed up with SBI, I already had a topic, candles of course.(if
you don't have a topic, SBI will teach you how to look for a
profitable niche topic to write about. you know, a topic that you
know and love. Their are hundreds of examples of what others topics
people chose to help you get your creative wheels turning.)
So, I have my niche topic which is, candles. Next SBI taught me how
to choose a great domain name that is bound to attract traffic. Then
what? What do I write about? Again, I didn't have the slightest
idea. SBI was there to hold my hand. SBI told me the exact candle
topics people are searching for!! Isn't that cool. How did SBI do
this? SBI has a very powerful brainstorming tool that helped me
search for hundreds of profitable keywords that I could use to write
my pages. Life just got easier!! Once I had all these sorted out, I
started writing ...
My job is simply just to continue writing pages after pages with the
brainstorming tool. SBI does the search engine submissions
for me. Believe me that is tedious, time consuming work
-been their, done that!
Today I don't really know how SBI
does it, but my TRAFFIC continues to increase every month.
We really needn't have to worry about SEO (search engine
optimization) at all. What a relief!
I know my traffic will
continue to grow and grow! That's the beauty of having a site with
SBI.
A lot of people get scared of the word, "selling"or "pre-selling".
Selling is really just a extension of something that you are
knowledable and passionate about. When you sell, you are simply
sharing with people the knowledge you have about a topic. If people
are interested, they will email, call or buy. If they are not
interested, they just move on and that is just fine. I think their
is such a negative vibe about selling because, unfortunately their
are a lot of those sales people who really don't care about
providing you with value in a trustworthy way, all they care about
is getting the sale.
SBI teaches me how to effectively write
to
PRE-SELL..
That means I just freely share my knowledge in a way that builds
trust and confidence. I Show my visitors that I'm the "expert" in my
field and show my visitors that I can be their friend. People will
do business with those they like, know and trust. So, when they DO
decide to buy, they will come back to the one who is an expert and
who over-delivers value and who they like and trust.
You can
learn this, "pre-selling" strategy easily when you follow the Action
Guide or right now you can take the
net-writing masters course
and learn it. My journey and your journey, with SBI somehow "moulds"
you to be selfless, the way a good business person should be. The
SBI community is really a wonderful group of people. In SBI, there
is a community of fellow SBIers who meet in a forum who are all
really selfless and always very helpful and caring.
Now, this is the fun part. No matter what your topic is about,
candles, dog-training, gardening, jet skiing, vacationing in the
Adirondacks, you don't have to worry about how you will make money.
SBI shows you exactly what to do and it does all come naturally once
you have all the above three steps in order.
How do I
MONETIZE? There are several ways that I make money from my
site. All were not planned, but ideas will just come naturally as I
continue to build my content and follow the SBI's Action Guide.
First, our candles of course, second other affiliate links as well
as google adsense and partnerships with other companies.
SBI is not only about building a website
It is about
building a successful business Online!
It is easier today then ever to build a profitable online business. SBI stays on top off all the lastest tech. advancements and brings you the best of the best! If I can answer any questions for you, email me. I'll be glad to help.
