A Web Site For Fun Or For Money And Fun?
You want to have a Web site to make money. Who doesn't!
Obviously, if nobody can find your Web site, you won't make a penny.
So. You need to make it easy for people to find your Web site.
How can people find your Web site without actually knowing its domain name?
If you are thinking Wordpress, you are wrong. Wordpress is great to whip up a good looking Web site in a jiffy. Wordpress is well known. You are not!
More? Wordpress admits that their Web sites attract an average of only 9 visitors per month!
How can you make money with only nine (9) visitors per month? You can't, of course.
Still want to make money with a Web site?
I have three Web sites. All built with SBI!
More than 300,000 people visited my Web sites last year. That's 25,000 a month. More than 800 visitors per day!
Would you be able to make money with hundreds of visitors per day?
I'm willing to bet that you would. Certainly more than with only 9 visitors per month!
If you are serious about making honest money online, then do like I did.
P.S. SBI! is days away from launching an entirely new site builder. So, not only will your SBI-built Web site attract visitors. It will also look sharp!
Money Making Ideas For Students
Looking into how to earn money as a student?
Looking for ideas?
Here is a unique way to test the money-making potential of your ideas.
You can also discover *new ideas* that you would never have thought of!
One of the more than 80 modules that make up SBI! - its site builder known as the "BlockBuilder" (aka BB) - has been completely redesigned from the ground up.
The all new "BB2" site builder has entered one of the last two phases of beta tests. A team (50) of experienced SBI! users began final testing of the new BB2 on Friday January 20, 2012.
If all goes well, we can expect this major development in the "site builder" landscape to be officially released to all SBI! users in the world by the end of January 2012.
SBI! users will then be able to build - or rebuild if they wish - their Web sites with site building features that no other site builder in the world can offer now and for years to come!
Are you going to be among the Web entrepreneurs who will use BB2 to further increase their advantage over the competition?
A few days ago, I discovered a very useful software tool to edit my articles before publishing them on my site or elsewhere.
It is also ideal to edit the ebooks I am currently writing.
The editing software was originally designed to edit novels and short stories and is highly accurate. It is meant to replace human proof-reading and the demanding human editor you cannot afford unless, of course, s/he has already bought your manuscript for publishing!
Now you can edit your work in confidence before self-publishing.
Each article you write for your Web site is meant to communicate, inform, convince and, in some cases, persuade (sell). This software will help ensure that your text is fit to post on the Web.
To see for yourself, use one of your articles to test the software's effectiveness. You will be amazed at what it can do to help you improve your writing.
Note: If you test the software with some of my articles, you will find them wanting! I wish I had discovered this software years ago, when I started out as a Web entrepreneur.
SOPA And PIPA In Plain Words
Any US citizen can claim that you, Web site owner somewhere in the world, have copied their content and are therefore guilty of violating copyright.
In such a case, any Web site owner in the world is deemed guilty until proven innocent. Said Web site owner is given no possibility to affectively appeal and is therefore doomed. The Web site allegedly guilty of infringing copyright simply disappears from the map!
Any Web site linking out - in good faith - to a Web site found guilty of allegedly violating copyright will also be wiped off the Net, with no effective recourse.
SOPA and PIPA are the equivalent to declaring war, unilaterally.
It's shoot first and never mind asking questions later!
It's the "wild, wild, West" all over again!
Just another example of the "blind, heavy handed approach".
I am a positive forward looking kind of person. When confronted with a potentially negative situation, I always do my best to turn things around to have a positive effect on me.
This time, things are turning negative online, big time!
Google is doing the unspeakable. It is turning its back on a stellar reputation of striving to come up with the most reliable SERPs on the Web. (SERP means Search Engine Results Page).
As of a few days ago, Google began to serve up pages from it's own Google+ stock of pages ... instead of serving up the most relevant and informative Web pages, in response to searches made with the Google search engine.
The user of Google's search engine is being led to believe that the results from his/her search starts with the most relevant and useful Web pages that can be found on the Web.
Not any more.
And if you are also a publisher of content who painstakingly prepares reliable decision-making information for its intended audience, then you are even more shortchanged because Google is "pushing" its own stock of Google+ pages ... instead of the more relevant and useful ones - which it used to do so well in the past!
In other words, Google is now serving its own interest ... over those of its users!
Google can only believe that they can get away with that stunt because they know that they have a virtual monopoly on Web searches.
You do not have to stand there and take this abuse without doing something about it.
I will not. In fact, I have not.
First, I suggest that you do like me. Boycott Google's search engine. Use Bing.
Second, write your government elected representative. There are antitrust laws in many countries of this world. Ask your elected representatives to enforce them, where Google is concerned.
A monopoly is ok until it ceases to behave as a responsible corporate citizen.
Google is behaving as if our best interest is not their primary, or even their secondary concern anymore.
Google has betrayed our trust.
There. I feel better now that I have alerted you to this injustice.
We have been receiving an unusual number of inquiries about Merchant Cash Advances (MCA) lately.
Enough enquiries that we are inviting you to share your thoughts on MCAs (see link below), and tell us of any experiences you may have had with them, good or bad.
Why are we asking you?
First, because we feel you should have a highly visible platform - our site - to voice your opinion.
Secondly, because thousands of our readers will benefit from your wisdom.
Feel free to share your thoughts on this important issue.
Who says that you have to run greater than normal risks to become an entrepreneur? The Webster dictionary, all business schools, all MBA programs, to name a few!
How can it be otherwise? By first becoming an "infopreneur".
Being an "infopreneur" allows you to build a name for yourself, an enviable reputation, in complete safety.
Once you have built your credibility, and gained the trust of your intended audience, you will have eliminated all undue risks of becoming a full fledged entrepreneur.
You will have created your own, personalized demand, that no competition will be able to replicate.
Want a good looking Web site to earn you some significant extra income, if you are already working, or some significant profits, if you are building a business?
P.S. Up to now, SBI! had just been the unchallenged best way to build an e-business. But it will be adding another feather on it's cap in January 2012 with BB2.
You hate wasting your time. You hate it when things don't work out the way you want them to the first time! You are looking for ways to get some extra income, and not just temporarily either!
You're ready to start doing something about it. Once and for all.
What's it going to cost you to steal a peek? You're in for a nice surprise!
I promise you will not be wasting your time.

The Wordpress Dead End
Why do millions chose Wordpress when they want to build a blog? Because Wordpress hosts 35 million sites . . . and you can't help but think Wordpress for a blog when you see millions of people using one.
It's like when people think "fast food". More often than not, McDonald's comes to mind.
But Wordpress has recently publicly declared that over 300 million people visit the 35 million Wordpress blogs, per month.
That's very interesting.
300 million visitors, spread over 35 million blogs ... averages down to about 9 visitors per month for each Wordpress blog! Yes, only 9 per month!
Seriously. If you *really* want to
share your passion for a hobby
or generate some extra income per month
or even start a small online business of your own . . .
. . . then you need *thousands* of visitors per month. Not just 9, or even less!

A Bold Challenge But No Takers
From October 8 to November 8 2011, Ken Evoy - founder of SiteSell inc. - intensively challenged the "site builder" community to prove that their product offering was enabling users to build and grow a business online.
In fact, anyone was eligible to compete in this challenge.
$50,000 were offered to anyone or any company that could prove their product equaled or surpassed SBI! ... both in business-building effectiveness and price.
None of the "traditional" players even attempted to pickup this easy $50,000 by submitting a documented entry!
None! Surprisingly, and in spite of their claims, the following "big names" in the online marketing industry remained silent!
Wordpress, Drupal, Intuit, Yahoo! Site Builder, Homestead, LMSoft, Web Studio, Avanquest, SoftSwot, Blogger, etc... (to name a few)
All declined to enter the $50,000 Challenge!
Why?
Because none of these companies can prove that they enable you to actually build a business, from the ground up, on a micro budget, with guaranteed results! Yes. Guaranteed.
None!
SBI! is truly unique in that it provides clear and comprehensive instructions on how to build and market an online business, and make it grow on a solid foundation ... includingall the software tools to make it happen. All in one place!
One place. One product. SBI!
SBI! has an unequalled track record of success.
If you want to build a real business - or need promote and boost an existing offline business - online, then do yourself a favor.
I will be presenting vital information for your business at the SBI User Conference in Anguilla 17-20 November 2011.
Are you a SBIer? Do you want a unique opportunity to propel your online business to the next level?
SBIers from all over the world will gather to meet and profit from the talks and workshops given by five other top notch and successful SBIers. Meet the conference presenters here.
All presenters, including myself, will be sharing the behind-the-scene actions that brought us the online success we now enjoy.
SBIers from Canada, United States, South Africa, Puerto Rico, Netherlands, Ecuador, England . . . have already registered. More register each day.
Now is your chance. But hurry, the hotel only has 40 rooms! Only paid registrants are being given confirmation. You do not want to be left out. Use this link to Register Now.
With the business information you will be exposed to at the conference, you will be in a position to start your online business from a much more profitable stand point.
Your competitors will never know where you got the edge! Trust me.
Mom Entrepreneurs Offer A Course For Work At Home Moms
Let successful mom entrepreneurs help you become a Work-At-Home-Mom (WAHM). No charge or obligation. You just supply your motivation and brain power.
Nearly half surveyed found unable to face $2,000 unexpected emergency expense. Details in the Wall Street Journal article. Meanwhile, many SBI users find resilience in the C-T-P-M process.
Internet Bibliography For The Web Entrepreneur.
Every successful Web entrepreneur has a bookshelf of favorite reference books. Here is an internet bibliography from which to select yours.
Think before relying on Facebook to build your business online. Here is a link to an article that should give you pause. (http://bit.ly/mgH9XD)
The last sentence of that article is revealing of Facebook's attitude toward fair and responsible handling of trademark complaints.
Why am I saying that?
SiteSell's Facebook page has been taken down. No warning. No explanation. No appeal possible.
Here is where you can witness the devastating effects of another one of Facebook's unilateral action. (http://bit.ly/luzRYF)
It is staggeringly EASY for anyone - repeat - anyone to file a complaint and get a Facebook business page taken down.
Facebook will take your business page down first . . . and let you sort it out with the person who lodged the complaint, IF you can find that person, because Facebook will not help you find the plaintif!
I have every reason to believe that SiteSell Inc. is a responsible and upstanding business citizen in this crazy world of ours.
Take home lesson? Do not rely exclusively on Facebook to build a Web presence and following. Facebook can take it down on a complaint, without verifying the validity or veracity of said complaint.
You have been warned.
Claude Jollet
Has Facebook Gone Unsocial?
I wonder what prompted Facebook to take down SiteSell's Facebook page, allegedly without warning or explanation, apparently without any right to appeal against the.
This unilateral action goes against basic democratic values ... well, mine, at least.
SiteSell is the company I trusted, in 2005, to make my business efforts pay off. And SiteSell delivered, in spades!
SBI - the flagship product of SiteSell - guided tens of thousands of individuals, around the world, in creating and growing a rewarding online occupation into a small business. Some have grown to become quite substantial.
I admire Dr Ken Evoy, chairman and founder of SiteSell inc. I believe him to be a man of high ethics and integrity.
I do not believe Dr Evoy, the board of directors, the CEO and the staff guilty of having infringed upon Facebook's terms of use - no more than I would believe the captain of an ocean liner would deliberately endanger the lives (or livelihood) of his crew and passengers.
I fervently hope that Facebook will explain its actions publicly.
I'm sure that would reassure all companies that have invested - or intend to invest - time and manpower in creating and promoting a business presence on Facebook.

Beware of Work-at-Home Schemes
The Federal Trade Commission explains clearly, on its Web site, how to recognize and avoid them.
Then, use the tips the FTC gives you to put SBI to the test. Armed with the FTC consumer protection information, you should be able to recognize the real potential of SBI, a proven business-building process.
When implemented as directed, SBI enables you to build a small business online, from the ground up, on a micro budget, without ever having to take risks.
Then, don't hesitate call 1-866-281-2789 (1-514-448-4573 from outside North-America) and ask to speak to an SBI user, any user - as many of them as you feel you need, until you understand what SBI can do for you.
I will, in turn, be able to follow some of you - members of my intended audience - as time permits. :-)
Over the past year or so, an ever increasing number of individuals - mostly members of my intended audience, but some not - were asking me why I did not have a Twitter account.
My answer usually was that I was already reaching more than a quarter of a million people per year, and that number was constantly growing.
I did not see the point, until someone demonstrated to me that a significant portion of my potential audience was online because of Twitter, and would not be online otherwise!
In fact, I now know that a significant number of individuals almost never leave the ever expanding confines of Twitter!
It was time I made a move to reach out to this extra segment of my intended audience.
SBI could easily stand for "Scam Busting Initiative" because SBI actually delivers what all the scams online promise, but never deliver.
SBI delivers a proven business-building and marketing process. So proven, in fact, that the rewarding outcome, from implementing the SBI process - is guaranteed!
Ignoring SBI is a business risk you cannot afford.
Discover What Is Stopping You
Look in any bookstore, both on the Web and in your home town.
Chances are that you will find hundreds of books on how to succeed in business. Nearly all these books will explain, in detail, what you should do to succeed.
None, however, will reveal what you should avoid being ... to succeed.
The e-book titled "Why People Fail" reveals 14 sure-fire success-killing traits that make people fail.
Learn what these traits are. Learn to recognize them in yourself.
When you finally learn what has been - or will be - preventing you from being successful in business, all you need to do then is . . . pull out all those stops and get down to business!
It's as simple as that!
Customers First Buy Your Why
Simon Sinek, a professor of strategic communications at Columbia University, explains that people do not buy what your business does or produces.
Most people first buy "why" you are in business. If they not only agree with your "cause" but wholeheartedly support it, then they will buy whatever is the product or service that your "why" spawned.
To succeed in business - any business, large, or small, - you must firmly believe that you can make a significant difference. That's your "cause" in the "because" you are in business.
By over-delivering on that "cause" you will end up winning the trust and admiration of your intended audience.
Look around your neighbourhood. Look closely at the small businesses that thrive. Select the one you like the most, plumber, dentist, carpenter . . . whatever.
You will find that the one you admire the most is the one whose "cause" for being in business resonates the most with you! It's what makes that business stand out from its competition, for you.
The reason behind that specific business - its "cause" - will have earned your trust . . . and, ultimately, your business.
SBI has been showing thousands of small business owners how to do precisely that, and be good at it, for more than a decade now. And it works!
What drove you to go into business for yourself will, in turn, drive people to become your customers.
If you are not in business only to make money but, more also, to make a difference, then you and your business will succeed.
With the SBI Business-Building Process, "homepreneurs" can further enhance their profitability by being able to do away with costly advertising!
Potential customers are attracted by the SBIer's approach to doing business. This phenomenon saves the SBI "homepreneur" from having to chase their intended clientele!
SiteSell To Surprise Its Facebook Fans
Dr. Ken Evoy - founder and chairman of the board of SiteSell Inc. - has announced that they will be holding a surprise event when their Facebook fan base reaches 10 thousand.
That special day is fast approaching.
Dr. Evoy has indicated that you will find it worth your while to participate in this special event. All you need to do is to go to Facebook and Like their page - then watch for the day when their fan base reaches 10,000.
As you may already know, I have built a small online business by applying the SBI process. People looking for reliable information have paid close to 400 thousand visits to my three Web sites over the past 12 months!
Any small business getting *that many* visits from potential customers cannot help but thrive. That is the result I get from having applied the SBI process as I was building my online business.
Claude Jollet Owner and Editor Top-Web-Entrepreneurs-Plan-It.com Weather-in-Canada-Observer.com HamRadioSecrets.com
You have been holding back. You have spoken to, or heard of, many who have spent thousands of dollars to get a great looking site.
You have heard them say that they did get a great looking site.
But you also hear them add that their site was performing well below their expectations.
What expectations were these?
More leads? More sales? More enquiries?
All of the above?
Now, you don't know who to turn to, anymore. You have seen too many fail with their hopes crushed around you.
Obviously, you need more than a great looking Web site. You need strong leads and paying customers!
You might as well know right now that you cannot get that kind of satisfaction with a Web site alone.
You read correctly. You need more than a Web site to convince and persuade.
You need to implement a coherent marketing strategy which must be designed to give the results you want.
Strong leads and paying customers ... in growing numbers!
A Web site can only do part of the job. But, when integrated in a comprehensive online marketing strategy, the Web site can play the role it is designed to.
If you need the expert to implement a personalized online marketing strategy - including its hight performance Web site - then trust SiteSell Services to deliver.
Trust SiteSell Services to deliver much beyond your expectations!
Traditionally, the word entrepreneur has meant "a person who organizes and operates a business or businesses, taking on greater than normal financial risks in order to do so".
It's even in the dictionary, in so many words!
Would not taking any risks make you less of an entrepreneur?
Would your financial success be lessened by the fact that you do not take risks?
Then, why is it than that tens of thousands of us succeed as entrepreneurs without ever taking the slightest risk?
You will have noticed that we changed our "Look And Feel" lately.
We are now adding a column on the right for an easier access to essential services, wherever you may be on this site.
We hope you will find this new feature useful.
If not, please do not hesitate to comment, offer suggestions ... or even complain if that's what we deserve! ;-)
Rest assured that what you communicate to us never goes unnoticed. We will give you feedback promptly.

A Safe Free Trial For Shy Entrepreneurs
Why would you believe that SBI 2.0 cannot help you become a successful entrepreneur?
Because you have never made SBI work for you.
Why not spend a little time to get to know what SBI can do for your small business project?
After all, time is all that you will have to spend.
Why?
Because, the unconditional guarantee will safely protect you from losing the $1 per day that you will invest in your project.
Actually, its a little less than $1 per day. But a few cents shy of $1 will not matter.
Why, again?
Because you can get your dollar-a-day back, anytime during the first three months ... if you are not satisfied that SBI 2.0 does, in fact, help you become an entrepreneur.
Claude Jollet Owner & EditorTop-Web-Entrepreneurs-Plan-It.com
P.S. SBI 2.0 is a complete set of instructions and software tools to plan, build and grow a small business, on a micro budget, in the complete safety of perfectly controlled conditions - your control.
