Updated Site Build It! 5 Pillar Program lens on Squidoo If you don't already know it, I'm a huge fan of Site Build It!, Ken Evoy, and their 5 Pillar Affiliate Program. I've joined and tested hundreds of affiliate programs, and the 5 Pillar Affiliate Program remains at the top of the list. You can earn generous commissions from each sale, and recurring commissions from each annual renewal. This is true lifetime commissions, and the folks at SiteSell go out of their way to make sure you are credited for the sales you make. It is a two-tier program, so you can earn residual commissions each time someone you refer to the affiliate program makes a sale. SiteSell offers outstanding training, a regular newsletter for affiliates, great promotional tools, dedicated affiliate managers, and free members-only forums. The 5 Pillar Program remains one of my highest paying and most reliable income streams. Have you joined, yet? It's free, you know. Come learn more about the Site Build It! 5 Pillar Affiliate Program. If I were going to recommend only one affiliate program, this is it. Act on your dream! JD 9:03:01 AM    comment []

Sitesell announces Snippet Build It! for 5 Pillar affiliates On Friday, in the 5 Pillar #291 newsletter, Ken Evoy announced the introduction of Snippet Build It! This is a tool that can be used by 5 Pillar affiliates to build links to over 60 landing pages for promoting Site Build It! Many years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth and the rocks weren't quite hardened, Sitesell was selling some of the best ebooks ever published. Make Your Site Sell! was the Bible of online marketing that helped me start building my marketing business. Now, it's a free download and there is a lot of very valuable information in the 1,500 or so pages of this ebook. I still refer to it now and then. In addition to outstanding ebooks, Ken wrote a number of courses that were delivered via email. I remember taking all of those courses as they were introduced and updated. I still have several of them in a 3-ring binder, and they are covered with notes and bright yellow highlights. Now, these courses are available as free downloadable PDF files. I still highly recommend my favorite, the Affiliate Masters Course, because it offers as much as some courses that cost around $100 and you can download it free. It was always free and still remains free. Over time, to make it easier for Sitesell's 5 Pillar Affiliates to market these products, Ken introduced Page Build It! - a tool for building customized gateway pages. Around the same time, give or take, the Build It! tool was introduced to make it easier for affiliates to build web pages (or just snippets of code) that combined text and graphics. This was a cutting-edge marketing tool when it was introduced. Now, I hope you'll excuse my memory, but a lot of water has gone under the bridge since these tools were first introduced, so I may not have all of this exactly right, but I believe the gist of it is accurate. These tools for building pages and code snippets eventually lead to the first, less-than-impressive versions of Site Build It! But, Ken and the folks associated with Sitesell were not content with what SBI was and continued to improve it and add new features. Now, several years later - a very long time in the online marketing world - Site Build It has become an incredibly effective tool for building online businesses. More tools are added all the time and older features are updated continually. So, as I said, Ken announced yesterday that Snippet Build It! was available and I just now spent about a half-hour playing with it. I am impressed! What used to be the Build It! tool has been streamlined and greatly improved. Now, 5 Pillar affiliates can easily and quickly create links to over 60 different landing pages that tell the story of SBI and why it makes sense to use it rather than traditional webhosting. It's easy to go to the page, select either text or image, select the desired landing page, and build a link. If you select text, and a landing page, you can type the text you want in the link and see the link created as you type. It makes it simple to try several phrases to see which one you like, and then simply copy and paste the HTML code to your websites, blogs, and other places on the web. The text links in this article were created using Snippet Build It! as a test of using the system and it is easier than hand coding the links as I normally do. Not only is it easier, the landing pages are grouped by their order in the buying cycle, and this is explained in an excellent article that was also released yesterday. Why is that important? I've gotten into a rut of referring prospects to just a handful of the many pages that are available. Now, by using Snippet Build It!, it will be much easier to choose just the right page to link to, depending upon the point I want to make in an article or advertisement. This combination of being easy to use and providing a full list of the available landing pages (and this number is growing all the time) helps me provide the information you may need in order to make your final decision to buy, or not to buy, a subscription to the Site Build It! system - or to become one of our affiliates and make money promoting the best way to build an online business. In addition to text links, Snippet Build It! makes it easy to build graphics links using some new banners, buttons, and logos. For example, the following is a link to the Site Build It! main page, and was created in less than five seconds: The new graphics use less text and more people. They use more right-brained emotion and less left-brained logic. Now, I'm a left-brained logic kind of guy. I rarely make my decisions based on emotion. I spend a long time learning about something before I buy. Most people, perhaps you, make more decisions based on emotion and then later justify it with logic. Site Build It! is great for right-brained people. It is an exciting system that has helped many of its subscribers build successful online businesses, and quite a few have left the corporate world and are now living their dreams and working from home. Of course, not everyone is this successful, but SBI offers the tools and training to make it much more likely to succeed. Many people have said they were exposed to SBI and didn't believe that it was as good as many of us believe it to be. So, they moved on and built websites using other services. After a year or two of butting their heads against the technical hurdles, they remembered Site Build It! With more experience, they were better able to judge the benefits SBI offered and some bought on the spur of the moment. Rather than regretting the purchase, most of them regretted wasting a year or two trying to build their online businesses the hard way. Yes, some people do not do well with SBI, and some people don't like what they can't do with SBI - so Sitesell offers a money-back guarantee. You can't lose by trying it. Oops, I'm getting off track. Back to Snippet Build It! The new graphic images are more colorful and appeal more to right-brained people, in my opinion. I think they will be a welcome addition to the marketing tools offered to 5 Pillar affiliates. But, nothing is perfect. A few minutes ago, I offered my opinion about the new marketing tool on the members-only SBI forum. I think it is a huge improvement over the older tools and I welcome the ease-of-use and organized listing of the more than 60 landing pages we can promote. On the other hand, I believe we need a wider variety of graphics that are specifically targeted to each landing page. But, you know what? I don't doubt that Snippet Build It! will be improved over time and that we'll see more and better-targeted graphics to go with all the other marketing tools that Sitesell provides its 5 Pillar affiliates. It's easy to recommend something when I know from first-hand experience how much it has helped me build my online marketing business. I'm working from home 100 miles from the nearest traffic jam and loving it. I don't believe I would be where I am today if it weren't for what I've learned from Ken Evoy and all the many Site Build It! webmasters who help each other on the free, members-only SBI forums. I'm a very satisfied SBI customer and have many plans for expanding my Act On Your Dream! website. You know what? At first I balked a bit at spending $300 a year to build a website, but after building dozens of sites and blogs over the last few years, and wasting more than what I would have spent to build several more SBI sites, the only one that has never given me any trouble at all is the one I am building using Site Build It! Over time, that becomes more and more important, because I'm getting tired of wasting my time and efforts on sites that don't work or get destroyed by hackers. I'm one of those hard-headed people that just has to do it my way and I don't regret all the testing I've done. I've learned and I'll be turning more to SBI in the future, except for some of my sites that require perl and php programming to make them work. I just renewed my subscription to SBI for another year, and a long time before my subscription expires I will have earned back my $300 investment several times over. It's not an expense, it's an investment. Just as Site Build It! is the best tool I know of for building a successful online business, the marketing tools that Sitesell offers its 5 Pillar affiliates continue to get better over time, too. I am very happy that I found Ken Evoy and Sitesell those many years ago. I hope you'll find it worth the investment of your time and money, too. Act on your dream! JD 4:39:43 PM    comment []

Site Build It! Brainstorm It! V2 Launches Brainstorm It! is a powerful niche brainstorming and keyword analyzer module that is only one of the tools included in your Site Build It! annual subscription. Here is some information from a recent announcement from Ken Evoy (Who is Ken Evoy?): "Yes. Brainstorm It! *V2* is now live! Both vertical and lateral brainstorming have been greatly improved. Important new concepts like VALUE Demand and Real Supply provide stronger guidance for content development. "Pink messaging" helps get niche selection "just right." And there are a whole bunch of other improvements. It all adds up to the best keyword brainstorming and research tool in the world... We did a ton of research before launching V2. It's fair to say that it's the best keyword tool in the world. And it's included in the $299 price of SBI!, which, of course, delivers many more tools than Brainstorm It!..." Site Build It! is a powerful system of integrated tools that help you find a niche, identify key concepts and keywords for writing about your chosen niche, build your website and promote it to the world, and interact efficiently with your visitors and customers. Brainstorm It! is one of the tools that is used extensively in the step by step process for building your online business when you first start using Site Build It!. Later when you have established your online business, you can continue to use Brainstorm It! to help you find subjects you can write about to extend the valuable content you offer on your site. I've used the new version over the last few days and have found lots of new ideas for topics to write about on my SBI site. The fact that you can pay much more than the cost of an annual Site Build It! subscription just for a keyword analysis and brainstorming tool that doesn't work as well is just one more reason for using Site Build It! to build your online business. I am a happy and very satisfied SBI customer and I welcome these improvements to the tools I use to continue to build my business. Act on your dream! JD 9:24:55 AM    comment []

New Site Build It! Results Page Is Online Sitesell, Inc. recently updated the results page for websites built by their customers using Site Build It! From a recent announcement by Ken Evoy: "Results.sitesell.com is becoming a mini-directory of some of the most well-done, informative sites in the world. But it sure is getting harder and harder to to update it. Picking the top SBI! sites for results.sitesell.com can be a real challenge... It's become so much work that we seem to have subconsciously put off an update for over a year! SBIers keep doing better and better. More and more of them are entering the Top 1% of all sites in the world. So this year(!), we shook it up (requiring higher traffic numbers to "make the cut.") There are a lot of new faces, but some old ones still in the lineup, too!... We eliminate sites that don't have the "real" traffic to justify their Alexa scores. We chop sites that are in categories that are overcrowded. We regretfully drop sites that have been in results.sitesell.com "long enough" (and bring in new ones). And we cut so many others for a variety of reasons. So what you see is just the tip of the top. One way or another, all selected sites must be in the top 1% of all sites on the Internet. And you can imagine that's a very nice place to be... Each time we do this, the new sites stagger me. There is no limit to the niches you can conquer. I think the most important point, though, is that most of these people are non-techs, just "ordinary" people who have been empowered to do EXTRAordinary things online. They get the kind of numbers that any professional webmaster would drool over. And the more congested the Web gets, the STRONGER SBIers become. "Regular people" are leaving professional non-SBI! Webmasters and SEOers in their dust. That's the power of the Site Build It! process... ANYone can find real, verifiable, online success. For YOU, our partner-in-sales, this is BIG NEWS! Why! Because this is all the proof you need to convince your visitors that SBI! is for real. Real traffic! Real success!" A while back Ken Evoy gave us a challenge to find any other webhosting company (and SBI is much more than that) that can provide better results for their customers. I spent some time searching and never found a site that even came marginally close. See for yourself, these are the results SBI webmasters are getting by building their online businesses using Site Build It! Why waste your time and money using anything else? Act on your dream!

Ken Evoy and Sitesell announce the release of Content 2.0 Ken Evoy and Sitesell recently announced the release of Content 2.0, an optional add-on module for Site Build It! Here is a copy of their press release: Montreal, Quebec, Canada (PRWEB) August 30 2007 -- Sitesell.com, the originator of Site Build It! and champion of using quality content to drive small business sites, today takes Web 2.0 to new heights. For the first time, small businesses can make it easy for their visitors to craft original Web pages including photos and captions. Other visitors comment upon and rate those Web pages. The process is optimized for search engine results driving long tail keyword traffic and viral spread. "Up until now," says Ken Evoy, president of SiteSell.com, "Web 2.0 has been the playground of large companies which basically aggregate individuals and small businesses. Today, small business owners have the simple, powerful ability to increase content through others and use it to grow traffic and 'buzz' tremendously." Web 2.0 is a catchall term for user-generated content and interaction with viral spread. It has created legendary business success stories such as MySpace, flickr, and YouTube. But they are all 'big company' stories. "Small business has been shut out of Web 2.0," states Evoy. "They are limited to blogging and using YouTube and MySpace to increase traffic and revenues in small ways. Now they become 'aggregators' instead of 'aggregatees.' Blogging pales because the site owner still has to create all that content. With C2, visitors create original, high-value content, a tremendous leveraging of time and results." The depth and breadth of user-created content yields surprising results. At Wikipedia, contributors do the work, building new pages of keyword-rich material. Wikipedia gets the benefits of content and inbound links. Millions of Page 1 rankings at Google have pushed it to the 9th most visited site in the world (according to Alexa.com). Evoy contends that what he calls "the rest of us" do not have the resources to create Web 2.0 platforms. Over one year in the making, Content 2.0 is that platform. SiteSell clients are already using it to create their own mini-MySpaces or to turn sites into super-blogs, inviting recipe submissions, beer reviews, etc. A ghost story site has even created BooTube, which invites video submissions. In SiteSell's forums, users are already showing traffic stats that have doubled. Web 2.0 and so-called "user-generated" content has its detractors. They cite everything from the unreliability of Wikipedia and uncontrolled "splogging" (spam blogs) to widely publicized issues on MySpace. Evoy says that all those problems stem from the lack of reasonable forms of control. "We studied all the major Web 2.0 companies, took the best, eliminated the worst, and then made it all simple to use." "You need an authority to maintain quality. Users of Content 2.0 cannot continuously overwrite each other like at Wikipedia. They don't create 'Profiles' and gossip like at MySpace. And they do much more than just upload photos. They build real value, content which an owner can easily control and monetize. That control is key." Just like the large Web 2.0 successes, visitors who participate are notified when theirs page have been published and when comments are posted about their pages. They comment back and forth on the site and are encouraged to spread the word through e-mail. Repeat visits, community and viral spread are the hallmarks of Web 2.0. "Content 2.0 is automated, regulated, high-quality Web 2.0," continues the passionate Evoy. "Like our flagship, Site Build It!, the complexity under the hood is intense. And 'under the hood' is where it belongs. Our small business customers never have to look there. They just focus on doing business." Evoy sums up "Small businesses have been the aggegatees for years. The money is in being the aggregator. Now they can do it, in their niches, with quality and ease." Content 2.0 is available at SiteSell.com for the annual subscription price of $99 as an add-on module to Site Build It! (SBI!), SiteSell's flagship business-building product. (End of the press release) Not every website that is built using SBI will need or be able to use Content 2.0 effectively, but many sites are already using it with success.

Site Build It lens has been updated I've been updating my Site Build It! lens on an almost daily basis for the last couple of weeks. More and more Site Build It! webmasters are adding links to their lenses and websites, are ranking the page, and have posted their own comments on the guest book at the bottom of the page. I want to thank each of them for participating and I am more than happy to link to their lenses and websites. I find Site Build It! webmasters to be a special group of people. Most of them are friendly, helpful, and well-informed. That's one of the free benefits of being a Site Build It! customer. Want to learn more about SBI?

Free and Paid Classified Advertising at Adpost Context: classified advertising, advertising, marketing, affiliate programs, Site Build It I've been spending some time over the last few weeks getting ready for doing some major advertising to drive more sales to the merchants with whom I've affiliated. Lots of online marketers use online classified ads to market their products and services, and I'm no exception. I learned of Adpost a few days ago and posted a new ad to their site. Initially, I planned to post a free ad, but three of the upgrades were inexpensive enough that I posted a paid ad. Why? For only $9.99, I was able to get priority ranking for the ad. It also extended the life of the ad from 30 days with two 30 day renewals to up to 180 days with five renewals at no extra charge. A half-year of advertising for $10 is a no-brainer, to me. I posted the ad in the Business Products and Services category. There are 26 subcategories and my ad applies to all of them. So, after a bit of thinking, I posted to the Marketing / Sales subcategory. I paid another $9.99 to extend the ad to the other 25 subcategories. My geographical area is North Carolina, Other, because I live in a very rural part of the state. I wanted to advertise to a wider audience, so I paid another $9.99 to extend the ad to all geographical regions in the United States. So, now, for less than $30, I am advertising Site Build It! for a half-year to a wide audience, that is targeted to people looking for Business Products and Services. But, as you've heard on many TV infomercials, "That's Not All!" When the ad was submitted and paid for, several new options became available. Now, I have My Personal Adpost with a simple URL that lists all my active ads. While there is only one ad on the page today, there will be many more as I have time to create and submit them. It will be easy to advertise this one page and show multiple ads in one fell swoop. My Personal Adpost comes with a manager - free - with tips on how to use it to promote my offers. It is suggested that I put the URL on my business cards, letterheads, flyers, brochures, signature files when posting on other sites, email signatures, websites, and blogs. In the manager, you can name your Personal Adpost, add text to the upper-right area of the page, and, optionally, limit it to display only ads in one category or country. But that's not all! (grin) Once my ad was accepted and posted to the site, I was given the option to create a new thread in the Business Products and Services Forum. I started the Any questions about Site Build It? thread to discuss the SBI service. (I just checked on this forum thread, May 4, 2006, and it is missing. Why?) That's a lot of service for less than $30 and an hour's work. Since Sitesell's 5 Pillar Affiliate Program pays so well, if I only make one sale per year with this ad, it will still be profitable. If I make more than one sale, I'll promote Adpost Classifieds heavily, both online and offline. Of course, I'll link to My Personal Adpost at http://johndilbeck.adpost.org to make it easy for offline advertising. If you are looking for a great place to post your online advertising, I recommend Adpost. It's free to set up your own account and to start advertising today. What are you waiting on?

Celtic Culture My ancestry is partly Scot-Irish, as is the ancestry of many people who live in western North Carolina and the surrounding area. Our Appalachian heritage derives much of its richness from our ancestors in Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and England. I've been interested in fairy tales, druids, dragons, Celtic symbols, an other similar topics since childhood. I recently found a great website that provides information on these topics. I've told you many times that I am a huge fan of Sitesell's flagship product Site Build It! and I'm a very satisfied customer. I have one SBI site and am in the process of planning a couple more. Recently, I was looking at other sites built on SBI to see what people were doing. That's when I came across Celtic-Culture.com. Instantly, I liked the site and spent some time reading it. I subscribed to the newsletter, too. I am interested in Celtic culture and I think Ron picked the perfect name for his domain. Ron already has very interesting information on his site and blog and I look forward to reading more as he has time to add it. If you have any interest in Celtic culture, or know someone who does, I recommend Celtic-Culture.com to you. 11:17:58 AM    comment []

Site Build It! Two-for-one sale ends January 3, 2006 at midnight. This is my final reminder of the Site Build It! Buy-one-get-one-free special sale. SBI is a bargain at any time. Until midnight on January 3, 2006, it is an extra-special bargain. If you're not ready to buy your SBI site, you may be interested in reading the book that started it all. Make Your Site Sell! is an ebook with over 1000 pages of outstanding information. It is by far the best $30 I first invested in my online marketing business. After buying MYSS, studying it, and putting what I learned into action, I finally started earning money through affiliate marketing. So far, the only better investment has been Site Build It!. I use the SBI method, tools, and resources every day as I expand my network of websites, blogs, forums, and lenses, even on sites hosted elsewhere. You're probably not interested in building a network of sites. I don't blame you a bit. If my brain were wired differently and I could concentrate on just one topic, I'd probably be much better off, but it's not the way I am. If you have a particular subject in which you are interested, SBI offers a step-by-step method to identify your niche, build your site, and eventually monetize it. It will save you time, energy, and money, and you will have a better site with a better chance of earning a decent income with it. You may not be able to replace a full-time job, but perhaps you can earn a few hundred dollars per month with it. I highly recommend Site Build It! and I'll be developing more SBI sites later this year. Don't miss this special sale. Share the purchase with a friend. You keep one site and sell the other to your friend. Each of you can get your own site for half-price until tomorrow night. Or, buy one and give one away. Or, keep both for yourself. You don't have to activate the second site for several months. If you do this now, where can you be a year from now? 4:01:06 AM    comment []

Twenty Major Launches at Site Build It! in 2005 Site Build It! has been greatly improved with 20 major launches in 2005. What happened to the price? How much more does it cost now to buy SBI than it did a year ago? Nothing. The price is exactly the same. SBI! is driven by an underlying respect for the online small business person that is unique. Those of us who have SBI sites take it for granted, simply because that's what we eat, live and sleep. SBI doesn't suck small business people in with $4.95 domains. They don't bait you with $5/month hosting. They don't lure you with loud offline advertising. SBI doesn't offer cheap come-ons. And they don't promise Get Rich Quick. It simply takes time and effort to build any business. People who really want to succeed "get it." No other company delivered anywhere near what they added to SBI! this year, without increasing the price by a penny. In chronological order... MSN Automated Challenge Graphic Submission XML It! MSN Search Reporting Launches Continued Addition To The Unmatchable Search It! Two Important Books... The Tao Of CTPM, Make Your Links WORK! Spam 'n Virus Blast It! Name Park It! iDesign Contest Launches 60 More Gorgeous Templates RSS It! Constant Updates (delete-the-old, add-the-new) to Search Engine, Paid SE, PPC, Directory, Shopping Search, Local Search, Tips 'N Techniques, and Third Party Resources HQs Forums Explode Into THE Online Business Community (Not a launch, but truly THE story of 2005. The collective wisdom and serious-yet friendly collaboration is unmatched. The best of the best is not "lost to posterity," but become articles in The Tips n Techniques or other HQs.) Brainstorm It! Automated Google Sitemaps and Yahoo! "Sitemaps" Great contests like WWW It! and SBI! Video Demo Contest (2 winners won a job a SiteSell and $2500) Link Popularity Index (LPI) Blog It! New Keyword Ranking Report (including Image Search reporting) SBI! Video Demos Start (great way to "do" the Action Guide) SBI! Includes Monetize It! (Advanced Content-Building, Ad-Selling and PPC-Buying -- unique on the Net, pushes totally new ground... again) All, as I said, at no added cost. Instead, they launch the Buy-1-Get-1-Free special! That's just "the big stuff." It doesn't include the continual iterations and constant updating of functionality and information. They do not collect and list new information. They delete the old, improve existing and add what is new and important, so SBIers don't waste time on "noise." Bottom line? SBIers merely have to follow the Action Guide to a tee, avoid the noise online, and if they need to, follow the Third Party Resources HQ for best-of-breed plug-and-play for special features that are not "core" to the central C-T-P-M approach of SBI!. The bottom line of all this? No one succeeds like SBIers. And our C-T-P-M advantage is only going to grow! 9:14:01 AM    comment []

Site Build It! 2 for 1 sale extended to January 3, 2006 The Site Build It! 2 for 1 sale has been extended from December 25, 2005 until midnight on January 3, 2006. Why would you want to buy one website and get one free? There are lots of reasons. You have two sites you want to build. Pay for one, build both. You want to help your children learn to build a successful web business. Buy one and keep it for yourself and give one to a child, or give both to children. Teach them how to set a goal and follow it to success. SBI's step-by-step action guide will take them through the details of researching and building a real website. You can advise and mentor them as they progress. You want to give a friend or business colleague a chance to build that home business they've been talking about for so long. A gift of SBI gives them the best chance to make it happen. Buy one for a spouse or sibling, keep one for yourself. Perhaps you know someone who wants an SBI site. You can pay for one site, get two, and sell one to your friend at half-price. Each of you gets a full year at half-price. What a deal! Whatever you decide to do with the second one, you have until midnight on January 3, 2006 to make your purchase. Don't miss this extended deadline. Do you have a dream you want to achieve? Where will you be a year from now if you don't act on your dream? If you have a dream, isn't now the perfect time to act on your dream? Is $300 too much to invest in working to achieve your dream? What can you build in a year? Where will you be a year from now if you act on your dream? 8:53:22 AM    comment []

Site Build It! Buy 1 Get 1 Free Special - Expires December 25, 2005 Site Build It! just keeps getting better and better. Recently, the great folks at Sitesell have been busy adding more and more new features to Site Build It! For example, they added the ability to blog an entire site, called RSS It!, and it's done behind the scenes. Every time I add a new page, or update an existing one, it is automatically blogged and the RSS file is updated. I don't have to do anything, this just gets done automatically. In the last couple of weeks, RSS It! was improved with the addition of Blog It!, which offers the capability to blog about anything I want and have it included in the RSS file, and also on a blog page that is fully capable of being indexed by the search engines. I previously developed a way to show my blogs on my SBI site, but that used javascript and those pages were not indexed by the search engines. How much did it cost to get these new features added to my Site Build It! account? Not one penny. Nothing. Nada. That's something else I like about Ken Evoy. He and his team are constantly adding new features and improving the ones that are already integrated in SBI. They don't nickle-and-dime you to death, either. You know what you're getting with this company. An SBI account costs approximately $300 (USD) for a year of full access to the entire SBI system, including the outstanding, members-only forum. Pay once, use it for the next year -- simple. From now until midnight Christmas day, December 25, 2005, Ken is sweetening the deal. Buy one SBI site, get one free. See the details at Site Build It's home page. Click the holiday sale icon. If you've been planning to start your SBI website, now's the best time to purchase. Two for one deals only come around now and then. Don't miss this one. You don't want to wake up on December 26th thinking, "I wish I had." 1:25:42 AM    comment []

A good article about Ken Evoy in the Montreal Gazette The Montreal Gazette, in its December 14, 2005 edition has a good article about Ken Evoy, Sitesell, and Site Build It! You can read the article, Website help for small business, on their website. If you have a small business and you want to learn how to sell more online from your website, you owe it to yourself to see what Site Build It! can do to help you build a site that succeeds. There's no telling what you can accomplish in as little as a year from now if you decide on a goal, make a plan to accomplish what you want, and Act On Your Dream! 12:43:51 AM    comment []
