Wrote John, Yes,
I have been reading your work and have been impressed
with your integrity. We all are 'pitched' hundreds
of times a day, therefore the relationship factor
that yourself and SBI project is key to the fulfillment
of any sale. You
have my permission to publish my comments, Best, If you have anything for this
section or you have a suggestion for a topic for an article,
please send us an email and give us your input. With
your input, we can improve the Boomer Video eZine. News Flash - I
sent you an email this morning about the launch of Tim’s new book. Tim
is now the #1 in the "Business & Investing" category which
is a major book category on Amazon. This
is the link to the Amazon page that lists the top selling books.
If
you have not purchased the book and gotten all the bonuses, follow this
link and to buy the book. http://tinyurl.com/2g65xl You
will see an explanation on the book purchase page how to get the bonuses
after purchasing the book. SBI never ceases to amaze me.
It has so much in it that I continue to discover more and more. For
several months, we have been using AskDatabase for gathering survey
data. The level of service
that we were using cost $19.95 per month. I discovered that SBI has a form
creation function and a data base collection function that duplicates
AskDatabase.
Guess what! I
terminated the AskDatabase service this last week.
I will use the service that is included in the SBI sites for
gathering and analyzing the information. With
SBI, we
can analyze the data much more easily than the AskDatabase.
Also, we can ask multiple questions on one page with SBI.
On AskDatabase, you were only allowed one question per page.
You had to link pages together to run a multiple question survey. Ken Evoy, inventor of Site Build
It, is a master promoter. He holds
sales a few times each year and right now he is holding a Summer Sale. He never
discounts the price of SBI on a single sale, but he sells packages of SBI sites for an attractive price. He
started the Summer Sale as the “Summer Sandals Sale”.
It was so popular that he has extended it to July 6 and calls it “Independence
Day Why
have an SBI Independence Day? To celebrate independence from what ever has held us back in moving
forward in our quest for an online business. The
terms of the sale are buy one SBI at $299 USD and get the second one for
an additional $100 USD. $399
for two sites, $199.50 each. I
am planning to buy a couple of SBI sites to use as give away sites to
promote Boomer eZine so I can use this sale. Here is where you profit if you
are ready to start SBI. You let me know that you want to
start your SBI site for $199.50. Send
me an email to jvwh (at) jhowe.com.
Put “Interested in SBI Sale” in the Subject of the email.
Once we communicate and agree on the arrangement, you purchase
your site from me using Paypal or a credit card through Paypal for
$199.50. (Do not purchase
directly from SBI). I will
then enter your purchase in the SBI system and you will be in the SBI
business. I will keep the
other site for the future promotions. Obviously,
this is a limited offer since I
only need a couple of SBI sites for my own use so first come, first
served. Just send me an
email if you are interested. Oh,
I almost forgot the best part.
I will personally coach
you as you are getting started.
SBI has great documentation, but I found when I started with SBI
that it was sometimes difficult to find what I needed in all that
information. I have waded
through it to build a couple of sites, and I can cut your start up time
considerably. The coaching
will be by email and phone. I
will not build your site for you. I
will help you build your site for yourself.
I am a great
believer in the old Chinese proverb that you have heard before, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a
day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for life.” I
will teach you so you are ready to go forward with SBI on your own. I
need those sites so I hope someone takes me up on this offer. Last
week, we wrote an article about Google Alerts. I
decided to try an experiment to see how quickly Google would notify me
of the use of “retirement jobs” in an alert. If
you remember last week was Volume 2 Issue 10.
In it we wrote the response to I
received the following alerts at 6/16 Google Blogs Alert
for: "retirement jobs" Volume
2 Issue 10 6-15-07 Boomer
eZine Volume 2 Issue 10 6-15-07 I
consider this absolutely amazing. The
software and the computing power that Google has is magic. If
you want to track keywords and stay current on what is happening with
them on the Net, use Google Alerts.
They work. Add
Bookmark and RSS Feed Buttons to your Website Part
of Web 2.0 is social bookmarking. There
are tools that make this easy for your reader to do.
Let’s face it, we all like to do it the easy way.
If you put tools that make it easy for your reader to bookmark
your page, you will get more bookmarks.
More bookmarks mean more traffic. The
tool that I used to install a bookmarking widget is
http://www.addthis.com. You
can go there and install a bookmark widget and an RSS feed widget. We
did install the widgets at the top and bottom of the ezine. There
is also a dropdown tool in the footer so you can select the particular
social bookmarking site you like. Take a look at it at the bottom of each page of www.boomer-ezine.com. Float your cursor over it and you will see the dropdown. Bookmark our page on your bookmarking site and help us improve our traffic. Thanks! That wraps up our
issue for this week. Until
next week, stay tuned. John and http://www.entrepreneur-ezine.com (http://www.boomer-ezine.com/Amazon_Page.htm) That wraps up our issue for
this week. Until next week,
stay tuned.
