I just returned from the cruise of a lifetime. About 60 "nearly" complete strangers all booked a western Caribbean cruise to meet, share information, and have a great time. What brought us all together? We all have our websites through SBI - SiteBuildIt.
There were people in attendance from all over the world. Imagine not seeing the sun in Iceland for 2 months, then flying to Miami and boarding a ship where constant sunshine and warm temperatures greeted you every morning. One couple came from Iceland, another from Sweden, one from Chile, a man and his son came from the Netherlands, one fellow came from Slovenia while a lady came from Spain. There were quite a few from Canada and the United States - all of whom had one thing in common: we created websites that brought in money and gave us freedom.
My resume-writing website brings in about $1000 per month in ad revenue, $50-$100 in e-book sales and $450 - $600 per month in resume-writing services - not bad for a stay at home mom. The young man from Slovenia makes over $10,000 per month on his sites. Yes, he has more than one. Another lady from the U.S. stopped working full time since she's doing so well with her sites. She's basically retired.
So, we all got together on a cruise boat and shared our stories and ideas. I was in charge of putting together the seminars. There were 8 seminars over the course of the week and they ranged from branding your site to increasing ad revenue to better tracking of visitors to writing solid, original content. It was awesome. So many ordinary people with so many bright ideas.... and all successful in their individual ways.
In one week, strangers became family. We had a great time and learned a lot from each other. I know that my site will generate more revenue now just because I learned some techniques to improve what I do.
Some of these people have had sites outside of SBI and they were never successful. Once they started new sites with SBI, a whole new world opened up for them. Part of that is because of the software SBI uses to create the sites and ping the SE's, part of it is the Action Guide that directs users in creating a site that visitors WANT to visit and part of it is the unbelievable support that folks get in the forums.
I have only ever had a site with SBI, so I don't know any different. I just know that it works and that I can continue to stay home with my children. Well, I'm still working on my Master's degree, too. It's so nice not to have to fret over money anymore.
So, now I have 60 or so new friends from all over the world who share my love of SBI and enjoy earning a second income, a retirement income, a full-time income or spare money for vacations/luxuries.
I couldn't imagine anything better.
