Web business idea

I know there are many internet marketers out there trying to make a killing but not making any headway. There is this post that came up on my comment here saying click, click, click you can generate so much sum of money.

So let me show you what they mean and how it works.
USD0.01 X 100,000,000 clicks = USD1mil
USD0.10X 10,000,000 clicks = USD1mil
USD1.00 X 1,000,000 clicks = USD1mil
USD10 X 100,000 clicks = USD1mil
USD100 X 10,000 clicks = USD1mil
USD1,000 X 1,000 clicks = USD1mil

Everybody happy become millionaires. Yippee!

Were if it that easy I've become a millionaire already. It is a simpleton idea. But the fact is where are you going to get those clicks?

The thing is they are all selling homogenous products. Which means if I'm selling sugar, you are selling sugar, everybody same-same and no USP (unique selling point), then you will have a hard time. If I do something interesting and sell organic sugar, then can jack up the price because there is something special about organic sugar, it is derived from plants grown organically and thus should not be contaminated by pesticides or other chemicals. Even then it is almost similar product. Slightly better USP.

On the other hand, if you can find some special niche, something that not many people wants to do, but something that you know very well, that's your USP. And how to achieve some success with it? Use SBI of course. It provides the tools on how to leverage what you know to create an online web business.

So far SBI has worked well for me. And so are my friends and many people. It is not a lazy-get-rich-quick system. It requires work on your part. If hardwork turns you off then don't read on. In fact don't read all those people selling ebooks about making it online. They are all the same with not much value in it. Get a real proven system like SBI.

By leveraging on what you know, you can create a niche area where you could either earn back from:

• Google Adsense - the simplest earning model but requires a lot of hardwork to get website traffic
  
• Get advertising sponsors - requires selling skill, but first your website must have traffic to show. Has a better income return from monthly renewals.
  
• Sell tangible products - eg organic sugar
  
• Sell intangible products - eg services
  
• or a combination of tangible and intangible products
  

The monetizing model requires thought, and what works for one, may not work for another. But before it does so, you need to put up the website first and draw the traffic in with your well writing content geared for both humans and robots (for SEO purposes) but ultimately it should be written for people because that's where your main target should be.

Good luck!

Top ten irritating expression

This is something I should remember. Came across this top ten irritating expression in a newspaper about a research done in by Oxford University. Some of them actually sound quite cliche, we may have heard them and use them because it sounded interesting and unique but can be grating when applied to another fellow listener especially when it is directed at them.

Here's the list, try to avoid using them.

1. At the end of the day
   
2. Fairly unique
   
3. I personally
   
4. At this moment in time
   
5. With all due respect
   
6. Absolutely
   
7. It's a nightmare
   
8. Shouldn't of (this one grammatically incorrect, should be "shouldn't have")
   
9. 24/7
   
10. It's not rocket science
    

Cheers!

Another SBI Signup, yey!

What makes SBI so much better as a web business? Even though it took me awhile to convince my friend eventually he got sold on the SBI web business model, and that also despite signing up a normal webhosting and making a few blunders like trying to use the free Wordpress.com blogging platform.

Initially he wanted to blog like one of those pro-bloggers who has quite a high traffic rank. I checked through that blogger using Alexa ranking and yes, this guy has very good website traffic with an Alexa ranking of around 69,000! Very high indeed. Much better than my travel site which has a ranking of 600,000.

Then on further scrutiny I found that his bounce rate was rather high. According to Alexa his bounce rate was measured as 70%. Since this guy was just blogging only, I cross check with my blogging website, which also gave me the same result, approx 70%. Alexa must be using a different criteria for measuring bounce, because in my Google Analytics, my blog website has a 89% bounce rate, so my guess is that this pro-blogger is experiencing the same.

So what does bounce rate means? A bounce is when a web visitor happens to find your website on search, curious about your site and drop in for a quick look to see whether it has the information that they need. If you are just blogging about everyday inane things, very likely it would not interest the visitor much. A quick glance (give about 3 to 5 seconds) and if they don’t find what they need it is sayonara, goodbye, adious!

Whereas on my travel website with proper structure and well written content for visitors who are looking for specific travel information hanged around longer, reading what I have to say, and either they click an ad or leave a comment or inquiry. Now that would be your most wanted response, right? If you are running a web business you definitely want your visitors to inquire more about what you have to offer. And for your info, the bounce rate for my travel site is about 45%. That’s a big difference when you compare it with a blog.

So if you just blog aimlessly you are unlikely to get the desired result even though you may get very high website traffic. That’s why when I first started out with SBI, they have a very good action guide that takes you through the steps of creating a REAL website. i.e. don’t blog, though you can create a blog to compliment your website, but your website should be a website that is geared towards giving the information that people wants and eventually get the desired response.

Here’s an interesting sidebar from Ken Evoy of Sitesell:

----- SIDEBAR-----
Many SBI! owners who are not affiliates recommend SBI! to their friends, family, local businesses, etc. For no commission? Why? Because they love SBI!, and because this monetization model does not fit their main one (ex., selling real estate). If you are an SBIer AND a 5P affiliate...

Do the same, except collect a commission, too! :-)
-----SIDEBAR-----

Haha, and I do recommend SBI to my friends who wants to start an online business. Those that didn’t heed my advise tended to wonder aimlessly in their online seeking of business.

So now that one of my friends has signed up SBI, he is now going through the action guide and digesting the finer points of setting up a web business. So will see how’s his progress in the coming months.

So what about you?
Blog or build? Webhosting or SBI?

Don’t be like my friends who didn’t heed my advise earlier and wasting so much time (and money). Take up SBI and do it right first time. (Against the advice of Billy Lim’s Dare to Fail school of thought).

SBI Halloween Special

SBI Site Build It is having another promotion offer for their web business. It is called the $100 Halloween Special. The deal is simple, like all previous offers before, pay an additional $100 to your SBI order and you get another SBI package / account which you can give to a friend or family members or even save it for yourself to create another website.

SBI web business is still the best having tried to create a website using cheaper web hosting. I found that the many automated features plus the all important Brainstorming tool really create a website that rock!

Be amazed when your website traffic starts to increase with the right targeted website traffic. I don't get anywhere near as SBI. It is simply amazing how the SBI system just works! The traffic just kept increasing vs that of the normal web hosting where the website traffic seems to stagnate.

Try it for yourself and see! If you don't like you can always revert back to good old fashion web hosting. But once you see the success rolling in, you won't want to switch back to good old web hosting (except maybe if you are doing some specialize website instead of pure content types).

Give yourself a treat and get SBI!

"SBI! Is For Newbies."

This is by far one of the most widely-held misconceptions about Site Built It!.

We see it all time. People say it in forums. In blogs. In discussion groups. Newbies do well with SBI!, but SBI! is for anyone who has yet to succeed online, not just newbies.

The best way to dispel any "Urban Myth" is to try proving it to be true. The truth of the myth proves to be elusive, the real story emerging instead.

Are all SBIers Web beginners? Not even close.

These SBI! sites are merely a sample of our most successful customers. Look close - it's a perfect mix of newbies and seasoned, experienced Webmasters that are all not only performing at the top level on the Net, they're TOPPING most of the so-called "Web experts" at their own business.

If your visitors are made up of eBayers, Twitter addicts and Squidoo page junkies, tell em' to stop "flitting" and to settle down and create success for themselves, instead of for Twitter, eBay, etc.

Naturally, if you DO reach newcomers to e-business, SBI! is perfect for them. Newcomer or "sophisticated marketer"...

Anyone can make their own success with SBI!.

Check out Ken's recent post about his latest conversation with a 10-year eBayer. It came about accidentally, while Ken was buying something on eBay. This super-experienced seller has finally started working for HIMSELF with SBI!, with the plan to phase out eBay...
