A letter to you from the Editor of Sarah
Palin is Cool:
Have
you ever wondered what it would take to make your own website? Not sure
where to begin
or what to do? I would like to share with you the secret
of how I made
this website and my other one, www.revolutionary-war-and-beyond.com,
which is now in the Top
1% of all websites on the internet! Well, it's really not
a secret. I'll be glad
to tell you!
How did I do it? Well, some time back I decided I would like to start
my own home based business and I figured the internet would be the way
to go. I could stay at home and work and use the internet. After all,
the internet is really popular
and growing all the time, right?
But where to begin? Well, I found a company that offered an internet
business program that was advertised as, "Anyone can do it?" Of course,
I, like you, most likely, didn't have a clue about anything technical
on
the internet, so this, "Anyone can do it?" spiel really attracted me.
I spent
thousands!
I spent thousands
of dollars on this program and quickly found out that it wasn't so easy
to make your own
website. I also found out that there are a lot of people
on the internet that are offering programs that sound really good in
their advertising, but once they get your money, their products aren't
really what they said they were.
To make a long story short, I spent months trying to build my first
website and it was very hard and very frustrating. I had to learn a lot
of very complicated technical stuff that took forever and I was getting
very little traffic to my website. It was very disheartening to see
that all my hard work wasn't producing anything.
While I was searching on the web to find out information about how to
do some silly thing like putting a caption under a picture, which the
company I was using couldn't explain to me for some reason, I found a
website that taught you how to do things like that. This website was
made by a girl in her twenties who was having a lot of success with
several websites she had made. She kept on raving about another website
building company called Site
Build It.
She couldn't say enough good things about SBI and how it had
helped her internet businesses become a success.
Well, since I already had a company that was helping me, I overlooked
her comments about SBI
and didn't read anything further about it - at first! After months of
having no success with my first website, I remembered this girl's
recommendations about SBI
and thought I'd have another look. If SBI was helping her,
maybe it
could help me. Anyway, I thought, just looking couldn't hurt.
Was SBI
for real?
As soon as I started reading about SBI,
I started seeing some numbers
that really caught my attention. I read that SBI powered about
40,000
websites built by average people who mostly didn't have any technical
background - like me! Of those 40,000 websites, about 35% of them were in
the top 1%
of all websites on the entire internet! I thought, "What? Is that
possible?"
I kept reading and found that 53%
of those 40,000 websites are in the top
2% of all websites. And then I found that 62% of those
websites are in the top
3% of all websites. And this was an outside agency that
conducted this report and found these numbers!
OK, now my attention was piqued! I had to find out more about this SBI. I found out
that SBI
was started by a businessman in Canada named Ken Evoy and he
had founded SBI
to help average people build their own successful
website without having to have an extreme amount of internet technical
know-how.
I watched several videos from other people who started SBI businesses,
including this guy named Elad who started a website about ...birthday
parties! Now you might think, "How could someone build a successful
website about birthday parties?" Well, Elad did it with the help of SBI
and his websites get a couple million
visitors a month!
Then there was this other guy named Jim who was a juggler. He made a
successful website about juggling!
I thought, OK, if these guys can do
this, maybe there is some hope for me. I knew a lot about the
Revolutionary War and wanted to turn my amateur knowledge into a
website. If these guys could turn their knowledge and hobbies into a
business, hopefully I could, too.
I started reading about all the tools and features SBI offered and they
seemed a lot
more thorough and comprehensive than the other company I was using.
Well, actually, that wouldn't have been too hard since they didn't
offer much.
Then I found what was like a gold mine to me. I found this page in the SBI information
called the SBI Results
page that listed hundreds of websites created with SBI
by average people and all of them
were in the Top 1%
of all websites. I
began to look through each of them and I found all kinds of interesting
things that people were making websites about. There were
websites
about losing weight, building a house, gardening, travel to exotic
places, curling hair, playing the guitar, learning another language,
even one about how to choose a name for your dog! They were
just
average people making websites about their hobbies and interests ...and
turning them into successful businesses. This page is what convinced me
that SBI
was way
better than the other company I was using and I went ahead and spent
...only a few hundred
dollars for SBI!
Wow, if only I had found SBI
first, sigh! You can see this very impressive Results
page that hooked me on SBI here.
How am I
doing now?
Well,
you're probably wondering, "So how is your website doing?" I
am very proud to say that after only six months, my Revolutionary War
and Beyond site received 6,700
individual visitors during September,
2008! 6,700 in one month! I couldn't get that many in ten years
on my
old site with the other company!
This number of visitors grows every month:
April 2008 - 129 visitors
May 2008 - 422 visitors
June 2008 - 698 visitors
July
2008 - 2102 visitors (this month was an anomaly because of the July 4th
holiday - a lot of people are looking for information about the
Revolutionary War during July 4th!)
August 2008 - 1848 visitors
September 2008 - 6713 visitors
See
how it keeps growing every month? Back in those early months I only had
a few pages up on this website and I was still getting a fair amount of
traffic. As I've added pages over time the traffic has grown. Really,
the sky's the limit with what I can do here! I can write about what I
know about and other people out there will find it through the search
engines like Google and Yahoo. My pages were viewed 21,000 times during
the month of September!
I also recently started this Sarah
Palin is Cool! website. This website is only three
weeks old (as of October 3, 2008) and is
already receiving an average of over 100 visitors every
day! This
second site is growing a lot faster because I learned so much from the
first site. How many local stores in your area can you think of that
get 100 people to walk through their doors in a day? Probably not that
many, excluding the major retailers of course. Even if you're not into
Sarah Palin or you're not a Republican, I'm sure you would agree that
getting 100 visitors a day in only three weeks is something impressive!
And
the best thing? I'm finally making some money! Through various money
making efforts on my websites, the dough is finally starting to roll
in! I'm so happy. I can't tell you how many times I wake up in the
morning and look at the statistics for the day before and say, "Wow!"
In fact, that is my new number one word, "Wow," I say it so
often when
I'm working on my websites.
Would you
like to make your own website?
Well, that's my story. If you would like to learn more about the
features of SBI
and how it might help you make your own website that is both successful
and earning you money, you can click here andI'll
explain more about it to you.
If
you don't think you could ever make your own website, if you think you
could never be
technically savvy enough to make your own website or if you aren't sure
what you could make a website about, think again. It certainly takes
effort, but just about anyone has the smarts to do it.Look
at how
these people did it.
If a website is really not in the picture
for you, that's OK, too. I trust that you will find another way to make
your dreams come true. I hope you enjoy my website and thanks for
reading my story!
