SiteBuildIt 2.0  Changes Lives

SBI! makes online business success do-able. Anyone can succeed with an all-in-one process, tools, and guidance.

The process is simplified to such a degree that success (i.e., profits, not the mere presence of a Web site) is achievable even for a beginner. For an experienced person, achieving success is even smoother. SBI! really does change lives.

Yes, there are easier ways to build a Web site. However, online profits require more than just having a collection of Web pages. SBI! includes all the tools and a proven process required to build a long-term, profitable e-business.

You get more than just a "site builder." You don't need to worry about looking for separate hosting, paying for a separate keyword research tool, handling site submissions, integrating autoresponders, etc., etc. See the full list of features here -- pick the most relevant ones for you and your reader.

SBI! removes the technical barriers allowing you to keep your attention on building your business. Many functions are completely automated. You don't need to know anything upfront about building a Web site in order to succeed. The tedious, "under-the-hood" stuff is handled automatically so you can focus on other important business-building activities.

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 show-stopping errors. 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." They don't get sidetracked, or have to guess at what to do next. SBI!'s guided approach helps you reach your goals.

Continuous mentoring via the Action Guide and online help is always available. Learn by reading (written guide) or watching (video guide)! You are carefully guided every step of the way, which make success that much more do-able. Advanced help is also available (when you are ready for it), all designed to save you time and keep you moving forward.

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 Traffic PREsell Monetize is the underlying, logical and powerful process that capitalizes upon the fundamental realities of how people use the Web. C T P M puts you on a solid, profitable business foundation.

Brainstorm It! is SBI!'s powerful keyword brainstorming and research tool. It helps you verify that your site concept has acceptable profit potential. SBIers are saved from making that common fatal error. With Brainstorm It!'s help, they know they are on track, right from the start. Brainstorm It! also helps you to find topics related to your niche that will pull in traffic and generate income.

Niche Choose It! is your final decision-making tool. It uses a complex decision-matrix theory that makes choosing the best niche for YOU simple... and flawless.

Choosing your best site concept is not always as obvious as you might think. Brainstorm It! and Niche Choose It! show you the best path for your particular business, reveal some surprises, and help you make the right choice.

Monetize It! helps you choose the best monetization options for your site concept. Creating a diverse monetization mix will help you maximize your site's profitability and ensure long-term growth.

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!

Since SBI! is compatible with popular HTML editors (ex., Dreamweaver) and image tools (ex., Photoshop, Flash, etc.), you can easily use advanced page-building techniques, if you like. This allows for maximum creative flexibility for all skill levels.

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 presentation, 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.

SBI! includes domain name analysis, optimization, and registration. You will develop the best name for maximum profitability in your niche. (It's often different than what you had planned.)

Fast, reliable, state-of-the-Net Web site hosting is all included with SBI!. You don't have to worry about choosing the right "hosting" features (size, capacity, etc.). Web hosting is included, no nonsense, no hidden clauses.

You learn to "get it right" quickly (or correct bad habits) so you can focus on other traffic-building strategies. (These are also easily mastered due to "automation-and-process.")

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.

Search Engine spider/listing/ranking reports let you see how your pages are being handled by the Search Engines. You can see what pages rank best and drive traffic. Each report's insights help you to determine how to increase traffic and monetization. Most pros don't have easy and reliable access to this type of information.

Traffic Stats and Click Analysis help you understand what your visitors like most. Understanding them helps you know what to write about, which in turn leads to more and more business.

SBI! includes Value Exchange (VE) for finding and managing high value inbound links (another criteria for ranking highly at the engines and building traffic). This automated inbound link-building tool saves time for what is otherwise a tedious time-sucker.

SBI! includes an easy-to-use form builder with autoresponders. You can build contact forms, surveys, and polls to easily communicate with your visitors. You don't need to use your e-mail address, which attracts spam. Experienced users will appreciate no longer needing separate form-building tools. Having these tools all in one place saves time and expense, too.

List-building and e-mail marketing are included (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. Deeper PREselling = More Monetization.

PREselling is a concept "invented" by SiteSell, part of the C T P M process. The concept is simple. As small business people, you do not have a brand name that is known and trusted. So you have to build that before you can monetize. Seems obvious, right? So few people do it, or they don't do it right, online.

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.

The various HQs ("Traffic," "Tips 'n Techniques," "Resources," "Monetization" and several others) keep you on the cutting edge of all that you need to know. No other "outside reading" is necessary (except for info related to your own business, of course). There are membership sites that charge hundreds (even thousands) of dollars for this type of invaluable information.

New tools are added continuously so you can feel secure that you'll always have the most up-to-date site-building and marketing tools.

Content 2.0 allows your site's visitors to create content for you. Turn any page on your site into an invitation for your visitors to add content. 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. A chain of events that simply started through the contributions of your visitors!

Infin It! enables you to plug third party resources into your SBI! site. You can add forums, shopping carts, datafeeds, blogs and other server-side functionality. Infin It! brings you an SBI! site with no limits.

The SBI! private forums provide friendly, helpful support from other Site Build It! users. Help is available from folks who are in the same place as you. This peer-to-peer support gets you over the humps along the way in a stress-free environment. Help is available even for advanced questions. The forums are a business-building support community ready to help you succeed.

The SBIX! weekly newsletter brings you the latest news from SiteSell and around the Web, highlighting only what you "need to know," and saves you time. You won't have to worry about keeping up with the latest online marketing developments. We do it for you. You'll stay informed but not bogged down so you'll be able to continue focusing on your business.

The tortoise approach symbolizes SBI!'s steady-and-sure approach. It's definitely not GRQ (GetRichQuick) and keeps you from getting distracted by false promises or dead-end tools and strategies that end up costing more money. Experienced users will appreciate avoiding time-wasters that don't help you succeed. Think of it as a simple, direct, hype-free path that leads to success.

Baby Boomer Article

Author: Crisonya

Boom, Baby, Boom

After the end of World War II, the world saw an incredible rise in the birth rate, which was quickly dubbed the 'Baby Boom'. A 'boomer' is defined as someone born between 1946 and 1964. In addition, the marriage rate boomed in 1950, which pushed the baby boomer explosion even higher. Today we have very active and optimistic aging populations all over the globe. The boomers are the fastest growing demographic in the world. 'Seventy' has become the new 'fifty' and every seven seconds a baby boomer turns fifty. People are living longer, acting younger, and doing more. Society's view of older workers has changed. Many countries have done away with mandatory retirement at age sixty-five and this has made boomers very happy. Many are not ready to give up their working life. Participation from boomers in the workforce is rising and includes a higher proportion of woman than men.

Un-Retirement, What the Heck is That?

It's no secret that the world is experiencing a global economic downturn. Countries all over the world, one by one, are declaring a recession. Contrary to popular belief, a great many baby boomers are not retired. Many older workers do decide to retire of course, but many who have already retired have decided to 'un-retire'. That is, they are either staying in the workforce by continuing their present employment, or they are re-joining the workforce again and making new career choices. They want to do different things and above all, have fun. Perhaps they are working in a field that they hobby in, like a golf club, pet or fabric store. Many are starting their own businesses, perhaps for the first time in their lives. They are doing this for many reasons.

Options, We Have Options!

There is no question that boomers are not sitting on the sidelines. They are looking for fluid, flexible and non-traditional working arrangements and they are looking with vigor.

There are basically two types of work opportunities available to them.

Firstly, work for others.

This is the more traditional approach and one which most of us have done at one time or another. It comes with its own positive and negatives. If you work for someone else and the business changes, you may find that you lose your job. Losing a job is stressful and often brings on related health issues. In addition, employers lose employees that take valuable expertise with them.

The other work opportunity is self-employment.

Once enjoyed by the entrepreneurial elite minority, it has become the "Next Big Thing" for Baby Boomers. Taking this idea one-step further, has spawned the home-based business. These small businesses offer boomers an incredible amount of opportunity. Boomers care about their health, probably because they see health and fitness as a way of staving off age. Poor health costs us all money. It costs the unhealthy individual money and costs the community as well. Baby Boomers refuse to be or act old until it's absolutely unavoidable. They have a desire for more income for daily life or future retirement. Perhaps they don't have a pension; they have a high cost of living, retirement plans that are unfeasible or other problems. Continuing to work past retirement age can guarantee a salary and important social interaction. They want to give back and help others or they want extra money for travel, to see the world and have new experiences before it's too late.

Working from home requires discipline, but the advantages are amazing. A home-based business can offer time flexibility and feelings of productivity. They offer the ability to be your own boss and work in the comfort of your own home. Many of these businesses require only a very low capital outlay. Boomers want more out of life and they are going to get it.

The Perks of Staying in the Workforce

The Baby Boomers often hold strong attachments to the workforce combined with good old-fashioned work ethics. Continuing to work enhances their self-esteem, provides an opportunity to contribute to society and build wealth. Mental stimulation has proven to be a very important part of aging well. Boomers also have a desire to continuing learning and experience enjoyment.

Boomers and Skills for Business?

The Boomer is a valuable asset to business. They offer a lifetime of transferable workplace skills, patience, and knowledge. Age brings on "an emotional wisdom", the gift of better understandings another's thoughts and feelings. As we age, we gain the ability to judge another's character well, and are able to control our own negative emotions.

The Community Benefits

The large size of the baby boomer generation has prompted all sorts of new business opportunities for services and products. Sales to the boomer market are extremely desirable due to its sheer size. Their peers recognize that the boomers are well-qualified members of the community that they can trust and rely on. They have reliability and experience. The younger generation can't always compete with these skills. Many boomer-run home-based businesses fill an important role in the community by providing services and products that boomers and non-boomers alike want.

The Next Step

A career choice is always an important decision. Before you decide what you want to do, always play to your strengths. If you love what you're doing, keep doing it. If you want to try something completely new, use your strengths as a foundation to move forward.

Many of the skills that Baby Boomers have acquired can be utilized to be their own boss, build wealth, and enjoy the associated benefits that this brings to their lives.

It's a 'Win/Win' for everyone. The community wins...the economy wins... and the boomer wins...www.GrtSuccess.com.au
