SBI! Moves To The Next Level of "Ultimate"


A few months ago, we stopped the "e-zine presses"
temporarily.  It was crunch time for the SiteSell team.
Complete and exacting attention (which meant long-into-the
night hours) was directed towards one exciting goal...

To move Site Build It! ever-further ahead of what ANY other
company on the entire Net is doing.

Today, we are proud to announce that... 

SBI!'s new cutting-edge modules are LIVE...

... and to top it off... 

There will NO change in the subscription cost for SBI!.

--

Why is SiteSell absorbing all the development costs for such
advanced functionality?

One powerful word...   ACCESSIBILITY.  

SBI! REALLY is something very special, something unique.
It's all about "e-commerce for the rest of us" (i.e., being
accessible).

It's NOT about Web hosting --just about anybody can and does
do hosting these days.  It's about a system, a process... a
means, if you will, to an e-business end.

Site Build It! provides the small business person with the
ability to do something that would be otherwise out of
reach... grow a business... leverage the Net into multiple
streams of revenue.  It's about making the communicating and
revenue-earning potential of the Net accessible to...

E-V-E-R-Y-(WO)-M-A-N!  Yes, everybody.

--

The feedback since the launch of SBI!'s additional modules?
Overwhelmingly enthusiastic!  E-mails like this one below
more than compensates for all those sleepless nights over
the past few months...

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Hi Ken,

I am impressed.

I have a great site and a great business.  My
thanks to you, Ken.

There's so much out there, and I've explored
and tried a lot of it. I found SiteSell
(luckily) early in exploring how to build a
business, and I just keep coming back to you.

I've EVEN done something that EVEN you have
never written about.  I have opened a store
in my SBI! site (using PayPal, which works
great with SBI!).  But I have a problem...

It's grown so much, I also opened a store
(with links to and from my SBI! site) with
Yahoo Stores.

My site (yes, a specialty niche, just as you
recommend) has been growing greatly. Mostly
due to SBI!.  And I follow some of the great
up-to-date advice (in HQs for all the engines,
directories, pay-for-inclusion  and
pay-per-clicks) to augment traffic even more
with things like Google AdWords. No need for
me to waste time reading thousands of zines
-- anything that's GOOD and UP-TO-DATE is in
those HQs.

I hope you don't mind if I bore you by
bragging for a moment (I expect you're
getting many praises, especially now with the
new LogoCreator, NavBar Maker, and the e-zine
thing excites me the most).   Here's how I've
grown:

Dec 2001 (right after starting with SBI) my
monthly unique visitors were about 50-60 a
month through March 2002.

Then I started really using SBI!.

April doubled to 147.

May doubled to 373.  I started selling
juggling supplies, and that keeps growing.

June to 684.

July to 975.

August to 1053.

I expect to easily beat that this month.
(This may not seem like huge traffic to you,
Ken, but this is for Jugglers!)

You know how I did it?  I wish I could say
that I went out and did something brilliant. 
But I just followed the Action Guide.

I haven't obsessively "optimized" all my
pages for the various engines.  Just as you
suggest, I "got it right" by using the
Analyzer and since then haven't updated a
lot.  I let the engines come to me... and
they do, just as the Guide predicts.

I swear by SBI's submissions and
engine-tracking.  And pay-per-click research
help and mass-bidding.

I've been waiting for the new SBI! additions.
 The e-zine tool is simple and clean. 
Imagine, automatic HTML-to-text translation. 
Too cool.

You UNDER-emphasize one thing, I think... the
ability to do a little pop-under page by
clicking that option.  I'm already getting
subscriptions to my e-zines thanks to that.

The navbar buttons are "way cool" -- a man
could stop working and just play with those
tools all day long.  I liked my original
logo, but this one is WOW!   :-)

Thanks for these new features, and for
everything else. SiteSell continues to
"over-deliver."(!)

I'm inspired by the new additions to work to
"better" my original site. I have to keep up
with my existing, growing business while I do
that, too!

Ken, just my small (in the scheme of things)
THANKS for what you've done.  And continue to
do. Pat yourself on the back, SBI! just keeps
getting better THAN better!

I have two more SBI! sites that I will set
into motion very shortly. I don't want to
leave the job that I have now (I teach
college) so I hope that you don't force me
out due to the success you have given me. 
:-)

I do appreciate the personal responses that
your support team give also.  I certainly
have incorporated that into my site and
sales. (By the way, I think your daughter's
site, anguilla-beaches.com, is great.)

And, "link exchange??" I can't wait to hear
more! I've been to Quebec - long time ago -
several times.  I hope perhaps I get back
there sometime to meet you - just to say hi.
I've rambled, but thanks for reading. I look
forward to a long and growing relationship.

Thanks!!

Thank YOU, Jim.  It's wonderful to hear how SBI! is helping
you to establish a successful online business.

SBI! can help ANYONE can do the same at a VERY affordable
cost.

-----SIDEBAR-----
Check out SBI!'s unique-to-the Net value bundle and what 
it is all REALLY worth...

-----SIDEBAR-----


Jim's letter also serves as a great introduction to "what's
new" with SBI!.  Let's expand on the details...

 o  LogoCreator Navbar Maker

The LogoCreator and NavBar Maker are powerful server-side
graphic tools that provide subscribers with the ability to
create their own professional, customized Web page templates,
including, yes, you guessed correctly -- logos and left
margin navbars.    

Thanks to this new functionality, creating PhotoShop quality
logos and professional, customized left-margin navbars, is
as easy as point-and-click!  Even our own staff, two of them
adept PhotoShop users, have been stunned by the capability
of the online graphic tools.

They REALLY are that good.  AND so easy to use...

Take a look at my 14-year old daughter's (zero tech
knowledge) summer vacation project.  She wants to grow this
site to earn commissions for villa rentals, book sales about
Anguilla, etc.  But right now, she's focusing on the
content, adding one page per week during the school year...

http://www.anguilla-beaches.com/

(And she's already in the top 70,000 at Alexa.)

Our own Paul Crane's simple and clean diet site is now in
the top 62,000 sites at Alexa, too (despite the fact that
Paul has so little time to spend on it, using it mostly 
as a "Test Tube" for e-zine articles)...

http://www.diet-supplement-review.com/

Some folks have also gone beyond what we foresaw for this
version of SBI!.  Jim Nelson was one of those creative
individuals.  In his letter above, he wrote...

-------------------------------------------
I've EVEN done something that EVEN you have
never written about. I have opened a store in
my SBI! site (using PayPal, which works great
with SBI!). 
-------------------------------------------

And yesterday, Audri Lanford (of wz.com fame and Netrageous
before that), my first Net marketing hero, showed me what
she's doing with her SBI! site...

http://www.famous-quotes-and-quotations.com/

(Check out the Search function that she added to the site.
I LOVE what people do on their own.  It shows us what to 
add next!)

Yes, now...

More than ever, you can design the site that YOU want,
EXACTLY how you want it.

-----SIDEBAR----- 
For more sample sites, visit...

http://buildit.sitesell.com/

... and click on the link to 
"actual customer SBI! sites."
-----SIDEBAR----- 


Of course, the simple, original SBI! templates continue to
work exceptionally well.  And a good many SBI!'ers continue
to use our original "tried-and-true" interfaces to generate
solid revenues each and every day.   After all...

Simple, intuitive designs work very well as "affiliate"
sites, drawing plenty of targeted, "ready-to-buy" from the
SEs before funnelling them over to various merchant
partners.  With the focus on QUALITY content and the
building of TRUST, SBI!'ers continue to have unprecedented
success.

However, for those wishing to grow a *client base* for a
SERVICE-oriented business (more on this fantastic
opportunity later), or for those who wish to sell and
deliver their own digital e-good(s), a custom-tailored,
professional "Look and Feel" is now only a few mouse clicks
away.

A great "Look and Feel" sets a professional, trust-building
tone.  Combine that with valuable "page content" and you
create an open-to-hire frame of mind in your visitor that
leads to that all important personal CONTACT (phone call or
e-mail) to learn more about your service and to hire you.

SBI! provides the tools to get that crucial job offer!

Forget EXPENSIVE Web page designers and graphic artists! 
You are in charge!

--

o  The MailOut Module

The new e-zine subscription-and-delivery module provides
SBI! users with the ability to take subscriptions to an
e-zine from any part of their SBI! site... and, of course,
the ability to mail to that list in both HTML and text.

-----SIDEBAR-----
Already this feature has proved immensely
popular with current SBI! subscribers.  After
all, "no ads" e-zine providers cost more than
the entire SBI! bundle...

http://buildit.sitesell.com/
-----SIDEBAR-----
 

SBI! is offering no ordinary e-mail newsletter service.
Before we crafted the blueprint for the development of this
in-house newsletter technology, we spent a great deal of
time evaluating the best and most expensive list-management
software currently available.  As a result, our system is
smooth, fast and simple.

-----SIDEBAR----- 
And what you do NOT see is actually MORE
impressive... bounce-back management par
excellence, all kinds of anti-spam built in,
tons of infrastructural stuff that our techs
drool over (which frankly bore me silly --
but I pretend to pay attention!). 
-----SIDEBAR----- 


Sending attractive, state-of-the-Net, HTML-formatted e-mail
is now as easy as pointing and clicking.  And no worries
about dual-formatting with TEXT (ASCII) either...

We've taken care of that headache as well.  E-mails are
delivered in whatever format is "readable" by each of your
subscribers, without any additional effort required by you,
or by your client.  You don't even have to create the text
version -- we do that for you!

-----SIDEBAR-----
When SBI! sends out a confirmation e-mail to
a new subscriber, it uses "sniffer"
technology to determine if that subscriber
has the ability to read HTML-formatted
e-mail.  If she does, she'll receive all
newsletters resplendent in their
HTML-formatted glory.  If not, she gets the
TEST version instead.  Clean and simple. 
-----SIDEBAR-----
      

The ability to grow, manage, and contact a list of
subscribers is one of the most important aspects of
successful e-marketing -- especially if you happen to be
using the Net to sell your own e-good, or to build a client
base for your services.

Regular, repeat contact with your subscribers establishes
your credibility, builds trust, and smashes down ALL the
barriers that stand between you and your subscriber's
decision to choose to do business with you.

An e-zine...

o  Prevents the all too familiar "out of 'site,' out of
mind" scenario.  Why work so hard to get visitors to your
site, and then let them just "up and leave?"

o  Establishes and demonstrates credibility via high 
quality articles.

o  Fosters a sense of community.

o  Lets subscribers know that there's a real person behind
the Web site... someone who isn't going anywhere.  She or he
is right there, only an e-mail away, ready to help out at a
moment's notice.

--

Now that SBI! has added this powerful e-zine capability to
its already potent arsenal of e-commerce weaponry,
opportunities explode exponentially!

-----SIDEBAR-----
Opportunities are exploding for those who use
SBI! to start and/or build a business, AS
WELL AS for our wonderful 5 Pillar
Affiliates, who PREsell SBI! to their
contacts, clients, and subscribers.

They're delighted to be able to PREsell to a
much wider audience than just other
affiliates.

Our market is now extensive in scope --
EVERYONE could profit from SBI! -- which
means that 5 Pillar affiliates have so many
more opportunities to generate revenue.  SBI!
has substantial appeal and potential for
SOHOs (Small Office Home Office), small
businesses (1-5 employees) and what I call
NOHOs.

NOHOs?  Yes...

There are millions of talented people who
could build a profitable SOHO or small
business on the Net... IF ONLY THEY KNEW
ABOUT A PRODUCT LIKE SITE BUILD IT!.

I call them NOHOs.  "NO" because they are not
SOHOs.  And "NO" because they don't "NO"
about us!  (OK, weak attempt!)  

Our affiliates are busy figuring out offline
ways to reach our new target markets, not
just online ways!

--

Remember...

Not only does SBI! eliminate the need for the
resources (measured in both time, effort and
dollars) to build a profitable site, it
eliminates 98% of the Net-marketing learning
curve.  It allows the AVERAGE small business
person to focus on business... not on
technology or the complexities of mastering
the algorithms for every SearchEngine (SE) 
on the planet.

Think about this... you do NOT have to know
how the phone works to make a business call.
SBI! now brings that reality to doing
business on the Net.

Every man and every woman interested in using
the power of the Internet to leverage his/her
business-building potential is our customer.

Seriously... you don't need to be in the
Net-marketing space to PREsell SBI!.  In
fact, we've been advocating that our clients
avoid starting Net marketing sites.  After
all, this "niche" is almost impossible to
establish a foothold in successfully.

SBI! is revolutionary.  Not just a simple
hosting solution, it's a "technology-less"
business-building solution, and I truly
believe it's going to change the way business
is done on the Net.

So... why not join the 5 Pillar Affiliate
team, and earn 25% commissions on every sale
of SBI!? (that's OVER CAD$100!)...

http://affiliates.sitesell.com/
-----SIDEBAR-----
 
When I sit back and take a deep breath, I'm amazed at what
our team of programers has accomplished... integrated
graphic tools, newsletter functionality, automatic SE
(re)submission and robot-tracking, keyword research and
targeting tools, automated PPC bidding and page optimization
software, link tracking and traffic reporting (and no, I
STILL haven't listed all of the SBI! features)...

I could go on and one, but why bother when you can see whole
list of features in the new table on the home page...

http://buildit.sitesell.com/

-----SIDEBAR-----
While these two modules comprise the bulk
of the new functionality, we also consulted
our "wish list" to provide our clients with
their most requested additions...

i) Pop-under page
This enables SBI!'ers to select any page to
load up underneath the home page.  A sure-fire
way to ensure visitors receive your most
important message.

ii) E-mail Redirect
You can now redirect to any e-mail box in the
world, including free addresses (ex.,
hotmail.com, yahoo.com).  Yes, you can still
set up your e-mail software to receive your
e-mail from your SBI! domain directly.  But a
lot of people asked us for the option to
redirect it as well.  Just click a button and
it's done.  Wonderful.

ii) Manager print capabilities
Now it's possible to print off your master
keyword list for off-line study!

And, of course, the accompanying Action
Guide has been updated as well to ensure we
remain on the cutting edge of e-commerce.
-----SIDEBAR----- 

SBI! truly is the all-tools-in-one-place e-biz building
solution.   With SBI!...

-----------------------------------------------------------
Why Build A Web *Site* When You Can Build A Web *Business*?
-----------------------------------------------------------

Visit the brand new Web site at...

http://buildit.sitesell.com/

See what SBI! can do for you and your business!

-----SIDEBAR-----
Over the next two months, we'll be focusing
on additional MAJOR modules -- e-commerce,
digital delivery of e-goods, 2-Tier affiliate
program and so on.  This e-commerce bundle
upgrade WILL cost extra -- it's almost as
significant as the entire current version of
SBI!.

However, all SBI! owners at the time of launch
will receive it free for the remainder of
their subscription, or for three extra months
(whichever is longer).  And, during that
time, look for a series of exciting new mini-
modules, which will be added at no extra cost.

What can I say?  This is going to be an
exciting, fast-growing year for Site Build
It!.  :-)

The Most Overlooked GENUINE
Small Business Opportunity on the Net.... 
AND How to Earn a Superior Living at It.
Take the Brand New Service Sellers Masters Course


As you probably already know, I occasionally turn off the
computer, pack up the family (no socks!), and head off to
the most wonderful island in the Caribbean...

Anguilla!...   

http://www.beaches.ai/

While vacationing there this spring, I ended up hooking up
with a friend of a friend who has a financial services
business there.  Later on, whilst nursing a generous rum
punch in the baking sun, I realized...

SBI! is not about the affiliate opportunity (although it
remains as exciting as ever!).

SBI! is not about the e-goods opportunity (although its
potential has not been TRULY realized either!).

SBI! is not about the e-store opportunity (although this
intrigues me as well!).

It's ALL of them.   BUT there is one more earning
opportunity we need to highlight.  It's the largest single
segment of the economy that (up to this point) has virtually
missed the Net...

SERVICES!

Yes, the service-selling opportunity is the most OVERLOOKED
small-business opportunity on the Net!

I agree, it's not immediately obvious, so let's take a close
look at what the Net can offer service sellers.

-----SIDEBAR-----
By "service sellers," I'm referring to those
selling ANY sort of service from ANYWHERE
(i.e., global or local in nature).

You could be a...

o personal trainer

o database programmer

o Japanese art specialist

o caterer

o photographer

o graphic artist

o chimney cleaning and fireplace installation expert

o financial/investment specialist

o travel consultant  

o import/export specialist for Germany

o pharmaceutical expert

o translator (do you know two languages?) 

You could have local clients (ex., a fitness
trainer).  Or you could work for anyone in
the world (ex., copywriter).  But no matter
what you DO, you can use SBI! to grow their
client base.

Whether your clientele comes from around the
globe, or around the block, SBI! leverages
your business-building potential at minimal
cost ($25 per month, the cost of most "old
fashioned" Web hosting).
-----SIDEBAR-----


OK.  Back to what the Net can offer services sellers.
Let's start with...

----------------------
Global Service Sellers
----------------------

Obviously, anyone with a global-based service stands to gain
a LOT from a Web presence.  Develop new clientele from
around the world... for a few dollars per month.  It's so
easy.

I'll let Karen Copeland share with us her experience as a
service seller on the Net...

-----SBI! EXPERIENCE-----
Just wanted to let you know that sbi is
working SO well for us here in South Africa.
We sell golf tours in South Africa to anyone
anywhere in the world with our site and have
been working at getting the site working
well. We started in or about December 2001.

Last night I counted 24 - #1 ratings, 3 - #2
ratings and 1 - #3 rating which I don't think
is too stinky for an almost computer
illiterate, late summer chicken.  We have had
lots of response for a site that has a very
specific target market - our first query came
from an outfit in the US for 20 golfers.  It
was a bid and we are still waiting for the
results which should be known before the end
of the month.

I think it is the cat's meow.  So do some of
our visitors who have sent lots of
unsolicited compliments. Thank you for making
it so easy for me.

Sincerely,
Karen Copeland

Give yourself a REAL Challenge - Golf South Africa
http://www.golf-travel-packagessouthafrica.com
-----SBI! EXPERIENCE-----

(As a follow-up to this letter, she wrote back recently and
now has almost 50 #1 rankings!) 

There is another VERY attractive aspect about selling your
services on the Net.  A single client can bring in
substantial dollars.  So techniques like mastering the SEs,
paid-inclusion programs, listing in directories and running
massive Pay-Per-Click campaigns have a terrific ROI (Return
on Investment).

SBI! eliminates the complexities and technology required to
perfect those techniques.  For example, let's consider
"mastering the SEs."  The keywords your prospective client
perceives to be important to your business are the ones that
must appear in the Top 10 search positions at the SEs. 
Without a top 10 position, you won't be found!

SBI! Manager will help you identify these "get-the-click"
keywords and their PROFITABILITY -- the Manager is one of
SBI!'s core components in its system of tools.  Follow the
clearly explained process in the accompanying Action Guide
and attain that coveted spot in the Top 10.  Use the SEs to
deliver a steady stream of potential new clients.

--

Here's the "in a nutshell" pathway to online profit...

Build lots and lots of Keyword-Focused Content Pages, all
within a Theme-Based Content Site.  The theme, of course, is
tightly related to the service you are selling.

These pages must also convince your prospective client that
you are trustworthy.  Think about it.  Anytime you hire
someone, what do you NEED to know before you sign the
agreement?...

o  Are they good?

o  Are they honest?

o  Is their work competitively priced? 

o  Are they easy to work with?

o  And so on, and so on...

The visitors to your site will be asking the same questions.
A prospective client will have to feel very confident in
your abilities before s/he hires your services, especially
if you are half-way across the globe!

Build TRUST!  

The best way to deepen trust levels is to REGULARLY contact
your list of subscribers with a high-value, 
"customers'-needs-first" e-zine.

SBI! provides you with point-and-click e-zine publishing
capability to do just that.

You can also use SBI! to create a second revenue stream.  SBI!
helps you capitalize on your Web presence by identifying
excellent affiliate programs with related (to your service),
non-competing merchants.  Recommend books, equipment, etc.
and earn commissions.

And soon... you'll even be able to sell e-goods, all in
real-time, exactly the way we do, here at SiteSell.

And, as Jim Nelson has proven above, a simple shopping cart
from PayPal rounds out a FOURTH revenue stream...

All for under $25 per month! 

--

What if your service has a strictly local client base?  After
all, if you sweep chimneys, you won't fly from New York to
Paris to do the job.  Let's take a look at...

---------------------
Local Service Sellers
---------------------

As I just said, your chimney cleaning and fireplace
installation service is not likely to be of interest to
anyone outside of a 1-hour driving radius from your local
community.  Why bother advertising via a global medium, when
your business is very obviously local?

A whole bunch of great reasons come to mind...

1) First and foremost, compared to "regular" advertising, an
Internet presence is cheap, cheap, cheap -- under a dollar a
day.

2) An Internet presence gives you the edge over your local
competition.  It allows potential local clients to learn
about you at their convenience.  In the absence of a
word-of-mouth recommendation, your business is on an even
footing with every other competitor listed in the yellow
pages.  By maintaining a Web site, your visitor can get to
know you, trust you, and ultimately, hire you.  Your e-zine
deepens that bond.

3) The value of a single new lifelong customer, and the
off line word-of-mouth "buzz" that s/he creates, means your
business stands to lose by NOT maintaining a Web presence.

4) Like the global service seller, the local service seller
can leverage an Internet presence to create multiple streams
of revenue that ARE global in nature (affiliate-based,
e-goods, and store).  For instance...

Your great articles on fire safety appeal to more than just
your local community... they have a world wide audience.  By
partnering up with related non-competing merchants
(retailers of fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, carbon
monoxide detectors, and so on), you can turn this traffic
into a commission-based, affiliate revenue stream.

And the local service seller can leverage this global
presence one other way as well!  That's correct, by selling
an e-book...

"The A To Z Guide To 
Fireplace Installation for 
Do It Yourselfers"

Local or global, smart use of the Net can only benefit your
service, no matter what happens to be!

-----SIDEBAR-----
Here's a great example of how I used the Net
to hire a local service seller...

Last year, the local curling club was holding
its annual bonspiel, and was desperate to
find a bag-piper for the opening celebration.
A quick visit to the Net, a couple of
targeted keyword searches and BINGO!

A scant 10 km away lived a bag-piper
available for hire!

Guess who will be hired again this year?
-----SIDEBAR-----  


How, exactly, do you build a client base for your services,
all the while adding additional cash-generating streams?

Great question!

Take the brand new Service Selling Masters Course.  It's an
free, "hands-on," comprehensive course dedicated to
positioning YOUR service business for success.

It's our best, and most important, course... EVER.

If you are selling a service, you NEED to incorporate smart
use of the Net into your advertising strategies.  The
Service Selling Masters Course will give you those smarts.
Everything you need to know is in that course.

And, while we're hoping you'll use SBI! to execute those
strategies, you CAN do it all by yourself.  The information
and strategies stand, strongly, on their own.

The Service Selling Masters Course is available in two
formats...

1) As an e-mail course, delivered through 5 daily
installments.  To sign up, send a blank e-mail to...

tsms@sitesell.net


2) As a easy-reading PDF file.  To download the free course
in PDF, visit...

http://services.sitesell.com/

If you have a service-oriented business, local or global, or
an idea for starting one, take this course before your
competitors do. 

Enjoy... and prosper.  :-)
