A, Suggestions and Comments John, (To get a peek inside that fantastic SBI forum, all you have to do is join Ken's SiteSell affiliate program here - www.boomer-ezine.com/Recommends/SBI-Affiliate) In Your Copy body: Redirect - saved as:
boomer-ezine.com/Recommends/SBI-Affliates/index.html </head> Here is my response: OK, Art, who is the teacher
and who is the student? In this
case, I am obviously the student. Thank you for
this. With your permission, I will
use it in the ezine. I know
about redirects and use them on various web sites, but this was right
in
front of me and I did not see the application. I have already
opened Front Page and created a folder “SBI-Affiliate” with the
redirect in it for the next issue of Boomer eZine. My sincere thanks to you for
this tip. John --- (We
never stop learning.) If you have anything for this
section or you have a suggestion for a topic for an article,
please send us an email with your suggestions or your input.
With your help, we can improve the Boomer Video
eZine. Well,
for those of you who procrastinated and did not jump on my offer, I
cannot take any more requests to split the sale. For
those of you signed up and are now starting your brainstorming and
market research for your new SBI sites, a sincere “Thank You”. I admire people who recognize
an
opportunity and seize it. You
can still purchase a website at $299.00 USD if you want to get started.
Or you can purchase the first one for $299 and the
second one for
an additional $100.00. Do
you have a family member or friend who might want to start an online
business? Check
out the details of the sale at http://order.sitesell.com/boomer.html
I have found that many people do not “get it” about Site Build It. I decided to attempt to write a definition of SBI. This led to an article that I published in Ezine Articles.com. The article is
posted at http://ezinearticles.com/?Definition-of-Site-Build-It&id=619157 Here is the
article: Writing
a definition of Site Build It is a challenge since it is so many
different things combined under one name.
To define SBI, I prefer to step back away from the Internet and the
technology and define
it as a
business model or business system. There
are several
definitions of system: ·
a
group of
independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole. ·
a
procedure or process for obtaining an objective ·
organization:
an ordered manner; orderliness by virtue of being methodical and well
organized. ·
a
group of
elements, components, or devices that are assembled to serve a common
purpose. In a technological system, this refers to all har All
of these apply to SBI. Too
many people only associate SBI with web hosting. In their
minds, SBI provides memory on a server, ban Another
definition of a system is a collection of people, processes,
procedures,
and equipment working in unison to achieve a goal. This
definition also applies to SBI. ·
The
people
are the owners of the SBI sites and the SBI staff working as one to
maximize the results for the web site owner and make a profit for SBI. ·
The
processes are composed of the structured market research before a
domain
name can be selected, the structured brainstorming and development of
keywords for the future website, the 10 day Action Guide in written or
video format for developing the successful business, the monetization
module for finding the best methods to generate income from traffic to
the website, the SBI forums where SBI owners help and are helped. This
structure makes SBI the ideal business model for an inexperienced
person. ·
The
procedures are the rules for using the SBI hosting har ·
The
equipment is composed of the personal computer of the SBI website owner
and the equipment in the web hosting data center plus all the Internet
communication equipment that connects the two and the rest of the world. The key point to take away from this article- SBI is a business system, not just a web host. For more information, download my free ebook at www.sbi-guru.com. I wish you well with building your future website. I wish
you well with building your future website. ... End of Article We have not been
active on eBay for a while and we decided to double back to it for
various reasons. Linda is starting
to sort out our house in anticipation of moving in less than two years.
She is having fun putting things in a box and
telling me to list
them on eBay. She
has done a
great job taking pictures with the digital camera so all I have to do
is
list them. Well, that is not
all I have to do. I
took the
box to work where we have a very accurate scale.
I weighed each item along with the packing material
so I would
know exactly how much the package will weigh for shipping. I plan to list an
item this weekend after we finish the ezine. We
are concentrating more on being an SBI affiliate
all the time since we feel that it is The
Best Web Host for most people.
I
decided to create an account on eBay as SBI-Guru.
I checked and it was available so that is the name
of my new SBI
selling account. I also checked
domain names and registered the following names: Will I use all of
these? No, www.sbi-guru.com
is the main site, but the others are registered to protect the primary
domain. If you
click the
other links, you will be automatically forwarded to www.sbi-guru.com. I register my
domains with a company in GKG.net provides free domain parking with the registration. Redirects are included in the parking service. I set up the three defensive domain names to redirect to www.sbi-guru.com. The main reason
for establishing this account on eBay is to take advantage of the
traffic that goes through eBay everyday.
As I write this article, eBay is the number 19 in
total traffic
in the world. It
used to be
higher, but MySpace, YouTube, and other Web 2.0 sites have knocked it
down a few slots. Just
the
same, #19 is a If you read I am using this
page for advertising my new ebook and for signing up subscribers to
Boomer eZine. You
can see my
“About Me” page at http://members.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=sbi-guru Speaking
about Jim’s book, it is a classic.
I highly recommend it.
It
tells you how to use the “About Me” page very effectively.
You can order it at: http://www.sbi-guru.com/Recommends/SilentSalesMachine Note: The above link is a result of Art's suggestion in the Q&A section. I have set up two
classified ads on eBay to drive traffic to my “About Me” page. More on eBay,
classified ads, and
traffic next week. Take
a Peek inside the SBI forums If
this looks familiar, this
article is generated from the email in the Q&A section. Art
said the word “peek” is a powerful word and he is right.
It has a certain forbidden quality to it.
Something we can do, but we shouldn’t. Anyway, I have
written before that probably the most powerful tool on SBI and the
reason that SBI owners are so successful is the forum in which all
SBI’ers help each other or go seeking help. You can read the
forums for yourself by becoming an SBI affiliate.
This does not obligate you in any way for additional
activity
with SBI. You will
get a
newsletter, but you can turn that off if you do not want to receive it. To take that PEEK, click the following link. It will open a new page and you will find yourself on the SBI Affiliate sign up page. To bypass all the hype and go to the sign up form, click the link shown in the picture.
Click
here to go to the affiliate page www.sbi-guru.com/Recommends/SBI-Affiliate Fill
out the form and click “I Agree” at the end of the form.
I encourage you to do this.
Yes,
it does set you up on my affiliate team, but it also makes me
responsible for you as my affiliate.
I will help you on affiliate questions. You
will see a group of very dedicated, nice people helping each other
succeed. Go
ahead - Take the forbidden “PEEK”. 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)
