John Dilbeck Musings

Learn how average people are doing incredibly well with their websites while millions more struggle just to get a few visitors and a few measly sales.

I’ve mentioned many times before that Site Build It! produces results like no other small business webhosting service does. No other company even comes close.

Now, Sitesell has released a new page of case studies that are detailed recountings of individuals and their experiences with SBI! They’ve chosen one case study for each of the major categories of small, small businesses, and each case study is told in the words of the actual person who built the site.

Ken Evoy, president of Sitesell, describes the site, “From the U.S.A. to Kazakhstan, from Australia to Israel, the case studies show exactly how successful businesses are built online, whether one is a ‘pure infopreneur’ or a vendor of hard goods, whether you’re an economist at a brokerage firm or a novice employee of the world’s most famous affiliate. It even shows you how one young man went from ‘dead-end asphalt man to cutting edge digital man.’”

I just visited the site and read all the case studies, and I find them to be inspirational. I love reading how real people succeed by finding their niche and then telling the world about what they love doing.

When you visit the case studies site, don’t just skim it. Take some time to really read what these folks have to say, and then read between the lines. Feel the emotion they have for their business, for their success, and for SBI!

When is the last time you felt that way about your webhosting service and the tools they provide you? Have you EVER felt it?

When you read the site, pay attention to the “BYOBAM!” factor.

What’s BYOBAM?

“Bring your own brains and motivation!”

Each of the people in the case studies began with a desire to do something different and they were motivated enough to research and learn how to accomplish it. Then, using their own brains and the tools SBI provides, they “took the bull by the horns” and started doing something. Motivation, brains, action, and persistence are the keys to success. SBI provides the technical help to make your dream come alive.

Each of these people followed the SBI process of:

CONTENT -> TRAFFIC -> PRESELL -> MONETIZE

This process, fully explained in the ebook that comes with SBI and described in several of the case studies, has been proven to produce outstanding results.

Find the specific case study that most closely matches you and what you want to do. See how someone similar has already succeeded. You can do it, too.

A year from now, it could be YOU who is featured on the case studies site.

Act on your dreams!

About two weeks ago, while working on one of my websites hosted by Site Build It!, I wanted to create a weblog for maintaining current information about telecommunications. While it is possible to create a weblog, of sorts, using Site Build It, it wasn’t what I’d become accustomed to using Radio Userland or News Pro.

I decided it was time to investigate the state of the art concerning RSS and syndication, and that led me to the newest version of Radio Userland and the replacement for News Pro, Coranto. Both are heavily invested in RSS and XML and it was time to do some updating and building of new infrastructure before I could make progress on my original goal.

Now, I’ve installed Coranto on JohnDilbeck.com and DilbeckConsulting.com. I created a new weblog at blogger.com. I’ve updated some of the settings at johndilbeck.editthispage.com. I downloaded, installed, tested, and purchased a license for Radio Userland version 8. Now, I’m ready.

At this point, I create my weblogs (also called blogs) using Radio Userland, which automatically uploads to I Succeed By Helping You Succeed and to John Dilbeck And Friends. (Links updated in September, 2006, to point to current sites.)

Then, it’s a fairly quick procedure to copy the entries from my original Ramblings site to it’s new host at http://JohnDilbeck.com/news/ where it’s powered by Coranto, and to my blogger.com blog at (link deleted). I’m running most of the entries concurrently on all of the weblogs, and I don’t know if I’ll continue doing that or if each will take a direction of its own in the future.

Either way, the background work is completed. I have to add a few more pages to several sites where I’ll use syndication via javascript to show portions of the blogs on pages that will be automatically updated with no extra effort on my part once they’re in place.

In a couple of months, I’ll know how this is working and how well it suits my original desires.

Now, it’s time to turn my attention back to marketing and selling.
