Final Days of Buy-1-Get-1-Free
Down to the wire. It's the end of the Buy-1-Get-1-Free
Holiday Promotion. NOW is the time...
Thinking of starting an SBI! site? Or perhaps a spouse,
child or parent should be considering the single best way to
build a profitable, long-term online business?
Put two of you together and split the price! For example,
your friend or relative or colleague buys one and "gifts"
you the other. You reimburse your friend 50%...
And you're both off to the races. YIPPEE!

Yes, we do lose money on this offering. It costs us a lot
in bandwidth, CPU, etc., to run SBI! sites. An SBI! site is
not like all other small business sites...
It is cheap and easy to host a site that simply sits on a
hard disk, offers little integrated functionality and builds
near-zero traffic (i.e., 99% of most small biz sites). But
we have confidence that you'll succeed, beyond what you may
dream possible. And that is why we look at it like this...
1) SBI! gets 2 brand-new customers during Buy-1-Get-1-Free.
2) We figure that at least one, and likely both, sites will
succeed (THAT depends on your friend!). And when they do,
the renewal fee is a pittance compared to the success that
SBI! is delivering.
So we make it up on the renewals. And THAT is the ultimate
example of WIN-WIN-WIN. :-)
But... it all ends at the stroke of midnight, January 5.

The Best Set Of Small Business Forums Just Got Better
The Way Of The Tortoise Is Here...
Let Him Help You Set YOUR Course For 2005
The SBI! Forums are SBI!'s #1 destination. No wonder. It's
full of thousands of motivated, hard-working, non-anonymous
small business people who want to succeed, pure and simple.
It's the "help and be helped" place and has already earned
its byline in spades...
*The* Place For Friendly, Success-Focused Discussion
http://forums.sitesell.com/
These private forums cover it all, over 50 forums divided
into the following categories...
BRAINSTORMING
WRITING to PRESELL
SITEBUILDING
FOR TECH-TYPES
BUILDING TRAFFIC
MONETIZING ---> Infopreneur
MONETIZING ---> Store Build It!
MONETIZING ---> Selling E-goods and Services
MONETIZING ---> Other Monetization Models
BEST-OF-BREED E-COMMERCE RESOURCES
PROMOTING SBI! (For SBI! Owners Who Are Also Affiliates)
THE SBI! CAFE
They are moderated by a team of "cream of the cream" SBIers
who are simply head and shoulders above any other group on
the Net. And now, we've added a new forum...
"How and Why People Succeed"
Its mandate?...
---------------------------------------------
SBI!, like life itself, is very much a case
of "slow-steady-sure wins the race." Too many
people think that the prize goes to the "Get
Rich Quick" ("GRQ") hare. Do YOU know a
single person who actually GOT Rich Quick?
No, while the hare flits from one "biz-opp"
to another, the steady, persistent tortoise
RULES. The ultimate success resource.
---------------------------------------------
We even ran a contest for SBIers. The mission? Create a
tortoise mascot for this forum! The winner? Sean d'Souza
(yes, he of psychotactics.com fame -- a copywriter who is
also a cartoonist!) wins a cool US$2500!
Here's a glimpse...

http://case-studies.sitesell.com/affiliatemarketing-ag-3.html
Others have updated recently, too. Read them all...
http://case-studies.sitesell.com/
There are success lessons a-plenty if you take a step back
and look across all these stories. Lessons about approach,
attitude, persistence & passion, choice of theme and
monetization models, patience & faith, long-term build...
One of the very best roads to success is to study how others
have done it. And once you've done that...
Set your course for 2005.
