How To Build A Web site With No Regrets
How to build a web site 101. Have you ever considered building an online business but have been too afraid to try? Are you afraid you will spend money and get taken for a ride?
You might not have any computer experience or are not sure of how to even get started. If this is the case, then just have a listen to my story on how I got started building websites without knowing a whole lot about programming, html and web site design.
On the other hand, if you already have a website and are looking for ideas to improve your site, I am going to give you some great information and free downloads that I know you will find invaluable.
Let me first tell you my story starting from a couple a years ago. I worked as a travel agent and in the transportation industry for over 10 years. In doing so, I gained a lot of knowledge in that field.
The trouble was, that knowledge really benefited my employers but I felt kinda of stuck in place. My son was growing older and I really wanted to have the freedom to spend more time with him (before he became a snarly teenager!) and also have the extra money to be able to take him places around the world.
I knew I needed to do something that would provide an extra income (without getting a second job!) And I wanted to use the knowledge I already had (and not have to go back for more education!)

I began to consider my options for a home based business. Something that I would enjoy doing, something that would bring in extra income and something that would be related to my expertise and passion for travel. Everyone has knowledge about something - whether it is related to your job or a hobby such as cooking or photography or the stock market. My passion and interests happen to lie in travel. Easy to spend money on travel but how would I make money from it??? So I spent months researching how to go about it, how to make money from this passion. The internet had lots of information, probably too much. There were a lot of scams out there and I did not believe most of the promises. I am usually sceptical by nature and I don’t trust things right off the bat, especially when they are after my money :) Building a website kept coming up as the logical choice for a home based business but I was not sure if it was the best option. I thought building a website would be a daunting task. I knew my way around computers but I did not really have advanced technical skills. How would I know which web host to use? How would I know how to set up my pages so my site looked great? I started looking at various programs, reading about different internet gurus and all I got was confused!!!

I stumbled across an all in one web building program called
Site Build It!
It was more expensive than just buying a e-book and doing it on my own and I didn’t know if it would be worth it. SBI they offered a free course called the Affiliate Masters Course so I downloaded it, why not, it was free! I still wanted more information so I had a look at the SBI Action Guide again for free! This is the step by step instruction manual that SBIers use when building their websites. It was very informative, I still considered doing it all on my own from scratch but I could not deny how much less frustrating it seemed if I used this all-in-one program SBI to do it. Still, I did even more research, (I told you I was sceptical!), I needed
proof
that this system would work. I looked at other people who were
successful
with their Site Build It sites and read their
case studies
and I
compared
it to other programs like it on the market. I still had some questions about it so I emailed all my questions to SBI and got the answers I needed. And so my journey begins..... I liked everything I had read about SBI and since they offered a money back guarantee, I decided I would try it, I had nothing to lose.

I did not want another year to go by without having done something to improve the way I was living my life. I wanted to have the time, the joy and the financial means to spend more time with my family and of course, to travel.I started slow and took my time. There was a learning curve but the support was great and I was off and running. Did it work? I'd say, within eight months of getting started I was making a profit.
Just when everything is going great....WHAM So at this point you must think I was able to quit my job and start traveling the world right? Well not quite, a funny thing happens to you when you are on the road to success - it’s called life! Out of the blue, my husband was downsized out of a job. He had unemployment benefits for several months and then those ran out too. It turns out my second income from my SBI site turned from a “nice to have income” to a life saver. With this extra income, we were able to keep ourselves afloat until he started working again. Whew - if I had not started that SBI site, we would have been left in much worse shape financially, I guess I “discovered” SBI at just the right time. I cannot tell you how happy I was that I took that first step all those months ago...
Never be afraid to try something new; remember amateurs built the ark, professionals built the Titanic.
Building a great website does require consistent effort and you will need to find the time to do it. If you are interested in get rich quick or get rich without any work then it is not for you. Success does not happen overnight, but once it does arrive, it is pretty amazing. Some cool things that have happened to me along the way too. My website was mentioned in an article in the Wall Street Journal! I have been contacted by a radio station and newspapers for information! I have been offered free hotel rooms! In my busiest month, I had over 40,000 people visit my site! Currently, I am working on my third SBI website and this year I can afford to take the summer off from my day job and hang with my son. I have surpassed the monthly income from my day job and am working towards building websites as my full time occupation. I am sooo excited at this prospect of being able to wake up in the morning, pour myself a cup of coffee, read some emails, check my stats. Then maybe walk the dog, come home work on my sites for the afternoon and be there when my son gets home from school. The traffic to my sites keeps increasing along with my income. This site is in the top 1% of 56.1 million active sites as of January 2006. Have a look for Best Family Beach Vacations in the travel category of these "success stories". You can see here that any topic or passion like juggling, golf, finances, dogs, parrots or of course my favourite, travel, can become a great site. From information sites to small business sites, all are possible with SBI. And the best part, I know Site Build It will work for you too just like it has for me :)
"Nothing will ever be attempted, if all possible objections must be overcome first." Samuel Johnson
I don’t have any regrets with choosing Site Build It. I am able to put all those years in the travel industry to good use, earn money while pursuing my passion and translate that into more time with my family. Life just keeps getting better and better......
Sincerely,
Jolana
