Have you been thinking about trying Site Build It?

If you have, Ken is offering his annual holiday special. Until midnight, December 25, 2006, you can buy one and get one free.

That is a real bargain.

You have several options.

You can buy one for yourself and get a second one free. If you choose to do this, you can start building one and wait up to nine months to start the second site.

Or…

Buy one for yourself and give the second one to your husband, wife, son, daughter, mom, dad, friend, business associate, or anyone else to whom you want to offer the gift of learning how to build a part-time (or full-time) online business using the proven tools and techniques that Ken will teach you and your friend.

Or, team up with someone else and buy two sites. Split the cost and Sitesell Support will help you transfer the second site to whomever it should belong.

You don’t have to take advantage of the special pricing, but now is the time to do it if you want to save money. You could even buy now, and find someone next week or next month to sell the second site to.

Just don’t miss this special if you have been on the fence about getting Site Build It for yourself.

I can tell you that finding Ken Evoy a few years ago has made a big difference in my life.

I have been Mom’s full-time caretaker for about five and a half years now. When I decided to bring her back home instead of putting her in a nursing home, I knew I would have to find a way to work inside the house near her and still earn a living. I closed my metalsmithing business and concentrated on helping her.

After I’d quickly blown through my savings, I had to get serious about earning an income while still working at home.

Luckily, amongst all the Internet marketing hype that was calculated to relieve me of my hard-earned money, I found Ken Evoy.

I learned how to start earning money from affiliate marketing by reading his Affiliate Masters Course, and started making sales and earning commission checks when I put what I learned to work on some of my web sites.

Later, I purchased his Make Your Site Sell! ebook. That was the best $30 I ever spent and now I earn it back many times over every month.

I took what I learned and re-built all my sites (and this took about six months). In a matter of weeks, my sites were being found and people started buying what I recommended. It was the real turning point in my home business.

This fall, Ken decided to give away Make Your Site Sell! as a free download. Even though I still believe it is worth much more than the previous price, it is now free. If you have a website and you want to earn more from it, download this book and read it. Then put to work what you learn from it.

Ken explains on the site why he decided to give away Make Your Site Sell! and concentrate on making Site Build It even better.

Eventually, I was able to scrape up enough to purchase my own Site Build It subscription.

For just $300 a year, I got not only a website, but an ever-growing collection of integrated tools (meaning I never have to install and manage scripts), a members-only community of thousands of helpful SBI site owners, regular newsletters with information to help me improve my sites and earn more, and the benefit of Ken Evoy’s wisdom and experience.

In a sea of Internet marketing hype, Ken presents the voice of experience, calm, and making slow progress towards building our businesses.

Ken is not one of the “gurus” who cleverly craft a marketing business to drain us of the money that remains in our wallets and bank accounts. If you go to Ken’s Blog and read his article on “Mooch Marketing,” you’ll know what I’m talking about.

I have never lost money when I follow Ken’s advice. More often than not, I increase the size of my commission checks, and for that I remain grateful to Ken.

I don’t want to mislead you. I am not getting rich and I don’t think I will, but that’s not my goal.

Right now, my main goal is to do what I love doing, and earn enough from it so I can continue to care for Mom and let her live in the house she has lived in for over 30 years.

I have worked hard at this, but I have to share part of the credit with Ken Evoy for being able to make this work.

You will note, I hope, that I don’t mention anyone else when sharing the credit for building my home business. I have learned from others. I have lost hard-earned money to others. Ken helps me keep on course and continue to build my business.

I do maintain quite a few other sites that are not powered by Site Build It, but I’m re-evaluating that decision. I have had problems with hackers destroying several of my sites. I’ve had problems with updating and maintaining scripts on them.

I am seriously considering closing most of my non-SBI sites and putting my efforts into doing more with Site Build It rather than continually bashing my head against the wall with the other sites.

I have learned a lot, and if I had to drop all my sites but one, it would be powered by Site Build It.

I hope you enjoy your holiday season and have a happy, prosperous, and healthy new year!

It’s been a long wait, and a lot of work for everyone involved, but it’s done…

Store Build It! (StBI) is now available.

I’ve been telling you for years that Site Build It! is the ultimate web site design, hosting, and promotion system available on the entire planet, and it’s gotten even better this week.

Now, before I tell you about the new Store Build It!, let me say this: Not everyone needs an online store. Even if you do, there are other ways to build a store that are already well-known and widely-used by SBI owners. However, if the lack of a top-quality, best-of-breed store builder and manager has been holding you back from considering SBI, then your wait is over.

Store Build It! is a fully-integrated addition to Site Build It! It’s not a tacked-on addition. Months of effort have gone into making this addition work with all the other features you’ve come to expect from SBI. (More on that in a moment.)

Let’s stop for just a moment to remind you why Site Build It! is such a good deal and why it is doing so well for so many owners — even those with no previous technical knowledge or web building skills.

Over the last several years, it has become obvious that making money on the Internet is a four step process. It was not obvious, though, without lots of experience, analysis, and testing.

What is this four-step process?

C - T - P - M

Read the full description of C - T - P - M before continuing. I’ll wait for you. It’ll only take you a couple of minutes.

People aren’t searching for you.

Let me repeat that.

People ARE NOT searching for YOU.

They’re searching for a solution to a problem, for a particular product, for a particular service, or for more information.

By providing information (C = content), you’ll make it easy for the search engines to rank your site highly and send you visitors (T = traffic). You can build your credibility through your demonstrated knowledge and willingness to help solve their problem or provide what they want (P = Pre-sell). Once they’re comfortable with you and believe you are reliable and worth their business, they’ll buy from you (M = Monetize).

C - T - P - M

Over and over, on many, many sites hosted by Site Build It! this has proven to be true. The results speak for themselves.

Do you want a website that does NOT attract quality visitors who are willing to purchase from you?

Of course not!

Do you want your traffic to DRY UP the minute you stop advertising?

Of course not!

Do you want a site that attracts a constant stream of visitors looking for what you offer?

Do you want a site that establishes you as someone who knows what he is doing? (You don’t have to be the best in the world to be good at what you do.)

Do you want a site that helps your visitors feel good about you and want to get to know you better?

Do you want a site that can provide your visitor with your product or service — just when she’s ready to buy?

Of course you do! That’s the holy grail of online sites that sell and earn a profit. That’s what we all want.

What?

You don’t know how to build a web site or get good placements in the search engines or do all the technical stuff that looks so confusing?

That’s the beauty of Site Build It!

Ken Evoy, president of SiteSell, wrote the book on how to Make Your Site Sell! You can still buy this ebook for about $30 or so and download it immediately. This is still the best book I’ve ever read on how to make a site that people like, come back to, and purchase from. I refer to it over and over.

Site Build It! builds on what is covered in that ebook. Over the years, it has grown from a way to build a one-page sales letter to a full-featured, all-in-one system for designing, building, and promoting your website. With the addition of Store Build It!, you can now have a world-class store and sell hard goods direct from your SBI site.

But, Ken doesn’t want you to fail (or perhaps to fail again), so he won’t sell Store Build It! to just anyone — not at any price.

There are some conditions to getting permission to use Store Build It! with your SBI site.

First of all, you must build a site that has quality content and attracts visitors. You MUST have a minimum of 500 visitors to your site per month before you can add Store Build It — and he recommends that you have at least two to three times that amount, i.e., 1,000 to 1,500 visitors per month. Without that level of traffic (attracted by your quality content), you are in the same situation as if you were to build a store anywhere else using any other store system.

You must have traffic coming to your store before it will succeed reliably.

Once you reach this visitor threshold, then you will be able to add Store Build It! to your account, should you wish to do so. And, the best part is, now that you have a site with a steady stream of visitors, Ken will sell you the additional e-commerce tools at a price that is about half that of others who sell the same system — but those folks don’t have this version that has been developed so that it is seamlessly integrated with your whole site. Not only will Ken sell it to you at about half the suggested price, he’ll host it for you at an ANNUAL fee that compares very favorably with the others’ MONTHLY fee. How’s that for a good deal?

Plus, when you add Store Build It! to your Site Build It! website, you’ll be able to download a free ebook that explains how to build and manage your store, and another ebook that helps you deal with issues that may arise after you make a sale. How many other hosting companies offer that level of training?

On top of that, you’ll receive a free newsletter telling you about how others are successfully growing their sites and offering tips on how you can do more with your site.

I host many sites using several hosting companies. I’m very happy with the companies with which I do business, but that’s after years of hit-and-miss, trial-and-error attempts at building sites at many other places. I now only recommend four web hosting services, and Site Build It! is head and shoulders above the others. In fact, I use many of the tools that come with SBI to help me make my others sites perform better. If I faced a major decision tomorrow and I could only have a single web site, there would be no decision. I’d choose SBI in a heartbeat. Nobody else offers what I get with SBI. Nobody else offers the training and support that I get from SBI. Some come close, and I’m very happy being one of their customers, but Ken Evoy, SiteSell, and Site Build It! stand alone as the best of the best. That’s my personal recommendation to you.

Of course, if you have no need for an online store, you don’t have to add this feature to your SBI site. It’s purely optional for those who have wanted this.

Have you been waiting for a world-class store builder and manager before you considered SBI?

What are you waiting for, now?

Site Build It! — the ultimate web site design, hosting, and promotion system in the world.

I’ve been using Ken’s products and services for years and I highly recommend them to you. Not only that, Ken has demonstrated over and over that he will under-promise and over-deliver. Always.

Try it for yourself right now. Ken offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

But, if you want to achieve the success of other SBI owners, take the time to download and read the Getting Started Guide that will take you step-by-step on planning, building, and promoting your very best site. Follow the guide and you may surprise yourself on how well your new site performs.

Only Site Build It! offers all of this.

Don’t bet your business on the web hosting service that offers the lowest price. Failure often comes cheap.
