Store Build It! Launches!
"The Perfect Store" Is Here
The Perfect Store is making waves, storming the Web. Yes...
Site Build It!'s first fully integrated monetization
solution is up and running. SBI! owners can now add fully
integrated e-stores to their highly trafficked sites. In
other words, the power of the C-T-P process...
http://ctpm.sitesell.com
... is now integrated with the M of the e-store Monetization
Model. The best of BOTH worlds...
Integrate C-T-P power with awesome store-building? Wow!
Imagine what any store owner would answer to this question...
"How would you like to have your own
self-fueled source of free traffic?"
Traffic is the lifeblood of any store -- sales don't happen
without it. But SBIers build traffic and PREsell through
content, then sell their own products directly.
While non-SBIers must spend significantly to temporarily
goose traffic (driving up their costs, and reducing their
ability to be competitive), SBI!'s C-T-P-M process...
CONTENT-> TRAFFIC-> PRESELL-> MONETIZE
... drives a site's own free, and PREsold, ready-to-buy,
traffic. This revolutionary approach to the monetization of
hard goods is an Internet first. No other store solution on
the Net comes with a built-in traffic source. No other
solution virtually guarantees your store will be a success!
"The Perfect Store" Is Here. Before long, as word spreads
that there is a NEW way to "do stores," a way that WORKS, it
will also become known as "The Perfect Storm." :-)

Questions About results.sitesell.com...
How To Succeed Like Viequestravelguide.com
We once offered a reward of thousands of dollars for anyone
who could find a more impressive "proof of success" than...
http://results.sitesell.com/
-----SIDEBAR-----
See the EDGE, back issue #046. We
promoted this widely, even through the
SiteSell affiliates. Bottom line?
No one came forward with better proof of
success than results.sitesell.com. Nothing
DELIVERS like SBI!.
-----SIDEBAR-----
Folks ask about how we pick the hundreds of successful sites
at the results.sitesell.com site. It's not easy, but we'd
be crazy not to prove how well SBI! works, especially when
no other small business service can do the same.
-----SIDEBAR-----
For full proof...
http://proof.sitesell.com/
-----SIDEBAR-----
We rotate representative sites in various categories in and
out of this "results" site that no other company in the
world can duplicate. The criteria are simple...
They don't have to be snazzy.
They don't have to be written by Hemingway's keyboard.
After all, only a very small percentage of people have
extraordinary graphic and writing abilities. And that's the
whole point... you really do NOT need supernatural talents
to succeed on the Net.
SBI!, together with some motivation, is all it takes.
The sites, of course, DO have to be good examples of how
small business people really succeed online though SBI!'s
C-T-P-M process, in a wide variety of areas and models.
And they have to be in the Top 3% of all sites on the Net,
according to Alexa, a well-known, respected third party that
provides traffic rankings.
-----SIDEBAR-----
That 3% figure is based upon a VERY
conservative "denominator" of 16 million
total sites. In fact, estimates of the
number of sites now range to double and
triple that, and more. If we took the
denominator to be about 50 million sites,
every site in results.sitesell.com would
be a Top 1% site! But we prefer to err
on the side of understatement.
-----SIDEBAR-----
Anyway, we recently completed a site rotation (this is one
tedious exercise, let me tell you, except for the actual fun
of seeing how well folks are doing, of course). One site
caught my eye, since we pass through Puerto Rico whenever
our family goes to Anguilla. Next time, because of this
site, we'll stop here for a few days and see what it's like.
I asked support about this travel site and its owner, and
back came some wonderful correspondence that I thought I'd
share here...

I just want to say how impressed I am with your program.
I was very nervous and anxious about embarking in the web
business. I had no knowledge whatsoever about it, and just
after receiving the first mail after joining, all my
anxieties were gone, I learned more by reading your article
than I did doing hours of research on the internet.
Before I found SBI I researched webhosting companies and the
SBI system seems to be the most comprehensive program
available. "They can't touch SBI." The selling point for me
was that SBI program seems to work for ME, is not just
another company just trying to get me to join.
I know friends that have web businesses and are doing ok,
but are not getting much traffic, I share some of my new
knowledge from SBI and they amazed at my knowledge
(probably because they know that not too long ago I was
"CLUELESS"), they were actually a bit angry that their
webhost did not provide the services and tips you provide in
your system. I believe they will be joining soon.
Luisa
-------------------------------------------------------------
That was our first communication from Luisa, 6 months ago,
shortly after she had started with SBI!. At that time,
support had written her back and asked her for permission to
use her letter as a testimonial. This is something they do
routinely. We only use a very small percentage of these
e-mails, and in Luisa's case we likely would never have used
it... except I noticed her in the new results.sitesell.com!
Here was her reply at that time...
-------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Mar 30, 2004
I would be honored for my story to be posted, I am a stay
home mother with a passion for travel and Puerto Rico (my
home land). I took something I love and went with it and SBI
is making the process easier and less complicated. I hope
that others in my situation get the courage to "just do it."
You will be the first to know about my success. Puerto Rico
is a beautiful place, especially the west (my next site),
where I am from. Make sure you visit my website before you
go!!!! Again, thanks for your attention and encouragement.
Sincerely,
Luisa
-------------------------------------------------------------
Well, it turns out, I guess, that I wasn't the first to know
about her success. ;-) It looks like thousands of visitors
have that honor. However, we did follow up with Luisa when
it looked like her site was going into results.sitesell.com.
I'll let Luisa tell her UPDATED story now...
-------------------------------------------------------------

My 6 Month Update
Hello, I want to begin by thanking all of you at Support.
You guys have been great, I am sure that when you see my
e-mails coming in, you toss a coin to see who is the unlucky
person that has to provide me with support. Every little
(clueless issue) I sent, support provided me with excellence
in service and your desire to help really came through.
Sorry Shawn, you always got all my dahhh!! problems. You
should not be receiving many of those anymore.
Regarding my experience with SBI, I basically thank God and
Ken for finding such a program that provides solutions to
all the online dilemmas and guidance (online guru on my ear)
throughout the entire process.
My site is doing better than expected. I have already
attained a top Alexa Ranking and I am receiving a little
more than double the traffic than my main competitor who has
been online since 1997. I receive about 2 requests per week
for advertising on my site. Many of you may think this is
not much, but for an island like Vieques it is GREAT!!
I am monetizing with some affiliate links, but mostly with
commissions from bookings with the hotels in Vieques. FORM
BUILD IT really makes reservation easy, I also use it for my
visitors to write reviews and much more. The more time
passes the more possibilities I can see for my site.
I can't wait to begin my other sites, the only thing that
holds me back is finding the time between diaper changes,
messy kitchens, laundry and all the fun things that come
with being a stay home mother.
I have many long-term goals. I plan on offering SBI to local
businesses, it is easy all I have to do is give them a link
to my site and show my traffic reports in comparison to my
"professional" competitors. They see that SBI works because
I am just a normal person who knew nothing about websites
and achieved success.
I already sold two SBI accounts through my 5 Pillar Club.
One is a local farm and the other is a church who plans to
do a directory with christian businesses on the town in
order to collect funds for missionaries.
Funny thing happened the other day, a Vieques site actually
contacted me to get information on how I learned to do
such a nice website and what software I used. "I did not
reply to that e-mail" Top secret information that is
off-limits to any websites about Vieques.
-----KEN SIDEBAR-----
I love that comment.
We've seen how the "success secrets"
sellers don't give away SBI! as the
secret. Luisa, though, has a GREAT
reason...
Don't tell the competition!
Sh-h-h-h-h-h! :-)
-----KEN SIDEBAR-----
I am very proud of the way my site turned out, it may not be
the best out there, but for my first one I am pleased.
One wish that I have, Mr. Evoy, is there anyway you could
make SBI in Spanish, I have tons of people who would be
interested in creating websites in Spanish.
-----KEN SIDEBAR-----
Multi-lingual SBI! is indeed in the works,
set for release immediately after the
upcoming release of the new Manager and
Action Guide. Here are the supported
languages when this launches...
French
Italian
German
Spanish
Dutch
Danish
Swedish
Finnish
Norwegian
Puerto Rico, watch out! Europe, too! :-)
-----KEN SIDEBAR-----
Thanks for all you have done, you helped a stay home mother
fulfill her career goal. I will be bringing others to your
program so they can fulfill their career dreams also.
I will now let my site show you what SBI has allowed me to
do, here it is my pride and joy
http://www.viequestravelguide.com/
Your number one Fan,
Luisa Cupeles, travel advisor and editor of
http://www.viequestravelguide.com/
P.S. If anyone that has doubts or questions as far as what
SBI can do feel free to give them this e-mail address
sbiquestions@viequestravelguide.com
Please forgive my english. It is still not a strong language
for me. I did not have the time to proof read. I have to
hurry and submit before my 3 year old hits a button on my
keyboard and I lose it all.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Wow!
For those of you who know me, you know I work way too hard.
Luisa is why.
