Wow… time flies! I
went back and looked at my past few weeks and months and can’t believe that
I’ve been able to launch a web site that I hope and pray will become a small
business all by itself!
SBI’s focus is to develop a foundation that you can build on
and create a web site business that works, both with your dedication and their
systems. Is it working? Well, in 7 days, I have 81 different visitors
through just the Google search engine; the driving force of most traffic. When I saw that I nearly had a heart
attack. 81 people found me on Google…
without me getting everything done.
One of the differences between SBI and all those other
template or one-night success sites is that the SBI program actually teaches
you how to help search engines find you; that’s “free” traffic that can grow
your web site and business, not stuff that you have to pay someone to come to
your site!
OK… enough singing the praises of SBI, let me tell you how
it’s going. As of right now, I have 23
pages built and up. Google has found 15
of them (which means that Google has spidered them and has them at least in the
data base). I’m still writing pages as
fast as I can and now I think I’ve figured out what the site will look like and
how it “sounds” (how I’m going to present myself). Thankfully, I have some very helpful friends
and family members who help me with reviewing stuff before it goes on the site. My goal is to have 30 pages built by the end
of the class and I think I’ll make it!
I actually got a little bit behind in the classroom
material; I just keep writing stuff for the web site. But I can tell you that SBI really is
everything that a business web site that is based on INFORMATION, not selling
needs. I came in with a little bit of
understanding, but if you do the course correctly, and you work on it, you’ll
be successful.
Now, one thing that I’ve learned, it takes a lot more time
that I thought it would. I figured out
that I’ve probably spent about 100 hours at this point around life and work to
get where I am, and that’s with having some ideas already in place before we
started. That’s a lot of work. But I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Learning how to do something right is always
worth the time in my book. And this is a
business, after-all. If you know a
business where you get something for not working, besides a political job or
grant, let me know! (but there I go
again preaching about SBI)
OK – there’s a page that Gary and Gill asked me to do… here it is…
Picnic food safety tips… http://www.food-safety-and-you.com/PicnicandPotLuckFoodSafety.html
. Check it out when you can! And if you want to view the home page and see
the whole site, check out http://www.food-safety-and-you.com
If you haven’t done so for me, please do the survey at www.tinyurl.com/FoodSafetySurvey– it will
help me decide how I’m going to do some things.
Thanks!
