Before I begin listing off a bunch of new features I will just briefly recap what Site Build It is and isn’t. As I have stated before SBI is NOT a get rich quick scheme. In fact, I can’t even guarantee that you will make money using it.

You will get out of it exactly what you put into it. If you are looking for empty promises of fast money then you will be sorely disappointed with SBI. However, if you are willing to work towards your own success then I think Site Build It is probably the best tool out there for you.

To put it more simply Site Build It can help you to build a long term successful online business. BUT only if you are willing to commit the time and effort to make it one.

Site Build It is a tried and true way of making quality niche sites that the search engines love. It includes everything you need to be successful right out of the box. Not only do you get web hosting for your web site but you also get a step by step action guide explaining exactly what you should be doing to start and then grow your own internet business.

I have built two successful sites using the Site Build It process. However, I recently sold both of them for thousands of dollars each and agreed that I wouldn’t disclose what topic they were on. I did this because the new owners don’t want lots of new people competing with them. But, I can tell you that both sites together were earning me as much as $500 a month with little effort beyond creating the sites in the first place.

And while I can’t show you my sites I can show you lots of other great sample SBI sites here. I can tell you first hand that these sites a good example of what you can accomplish with Site Build It. Without the Site Build It action guide I am sure I would not be where I am today.

The reason I haven’t build more websites with SBI is because at the time when I first started using it there were certain technical limitations to their platform that wouldn’t allow me to create blogs. However, this has been one of the first major improvements to SBI for 2009 is that now you can now easily create a blog for your site.

A second important new service offered by Ken Evoy is SiteSell Services. This is for people who have an existing business and need a web presence. Not only does it offer the complete Site Build It package but also includes a complete content writing service for you. You can find out more about this option here.

The third great feature added for 2009 is that Ken is now offering all his ebooks free of charge. These are great guides that used to cost up to $49.99 each. Each one deals with a different aspect of starting a business online. The fact that he is now giving them away free shows me how confident he is in his product. Click here to see all the great free ebooks he is offering.

Now all of these great new features are on top of the already existing ones. You can use Site Build It to start almost any sort of internet based business. For example you can create a website that takes advantage of Google’s Adsense program as outlined here. Or, you could use it to grow an online auction business as outlined here. Or, you can even use Site Build It to expand your local business: either on your own as outlined here or through SiteSell services as outlined here.

So there you have it. If you want to start an internet or online business in 2009, Site Build It is the platform to do it with. But, don’t take my word for it click here for proof that Site Build It works. Or, click here to watch videos of people who love SBI.

For a number of reasons, a lot of people today find online buying a very convenient way to shop. It has paved the way for people from all over the globe to purchase certain products which are unavailable or hard to find in their own locales. These days, online auctions are so popular that just about everybody has heard of them, and probably even tried them.

Selling Basics

Using an online auction to sell merchandise is really quite simple. Simply find a site that appeals to you and register for an account. Some of these sites require a fee, although most are free. Be aware, however, that those sites which charge a fee often have advantages that justify the cost.

Deciding which items to sell is the next step. Get your feet wet by auctioning off some of your stuff that’s just taking up space in the house. Once you have some experience, you might want to start shopping at garage sales, discount stores and factory outlets for merchandise that you can re-sell and make a profit from your online auction.

Before you start selling, carefully read the terms and conditions of the online auction site, and be aware of your responsibilities and potential liabilities. Maintain open and honest communication with your buyers so that you can avoid potential problems following a sale.

How to Start Buying

You’ll find that buying stuff on an online auction site is much easier than selling. Just like setting up a seller account, you must register at the site of your choice before you are allowed to bid on an item that interests you. Before you make a bid, remember to check the credibility and the reviews of the seller. This is valuable information as you make a decision on whether the vendor is trustworthy and can deliver as promised.

Once you have established the credibility of the seller, it’s time for you to make a bid and hope to get a good price. To avoid overspending, set a maximum bid; this way your purchase won’t be overpriced in terms of your time, effort and cash.

Online auctions provide you with better access to the things that you want to buy. When used wisely, it can make shopping so much more convenient.

Well now you can! You can find out the strategies Alborz Fallah uses to generate huge income from his blog each month with this interview. Best of all you don’t need to pay anything or even enter your e-mail address to read all about it. You can read or listen to the interview for free here.

Also, Yaro Starak has just released two videos showing you how he makes his money each month. The first video shows you how he does it and the second video shows you how much he makes. Again you don’t need to pay anything or even enter an e-mail address to watch these videos. You can watch them free here.

So, what can you take away from these two professional bloggers? I think the number one lesson is determination. Both of them kept working through the difficult times to succeed. If you want to succeed in your Internet business you will have to do the same.

However, you don’t have to do it alone. Yaro Starak is going to reopen his blog mastermind mentoring program tomorrow (July 29th, 2008) to new members. He will provide personal coaching to help you get started towards starting your Internet blogging business.

Now the price is going to be $97 a month, so it may not be for everyone. However, joining his program will allow you to hit the ground running in terms of starting a blogging business. You can get started now by downloading his Blog Profits Blueprint ebook for free.

The video is completely free and you don’t even have to enter a name or e-mail address to watch it. As you may know I am a huge fan of Yaro’s because he offers real advice for real people who want to start real web based businesses. If you are even thinking of making money online from blogging you should really watch this video.

That’s it from me for today. You can watch the video by clicking here.

P.S. I will have more updates on what I am doing for my own internet based businesses in the near future.

In every bloggers life comes a special day – the day they first launch a new blog. Now unless you went out and purchased someone else’s blog chances are your blog launched with only one very loyal reader – you. Maybe a few days later you received a few hits when you told your sister, father, girlfriend and best friend about your new blog but that’s about as far you went when it comes to finding readers. Here are the top 10 techniques new bloggers can use to find readers.

These are tips specifically for new bloggers, those people who have next-to-no audience at the moment and want to get the ball rolling.

It helps if you work on this list from top to bottom as each technique builds on the previous step to help you create momentum. Eventually once you establish enough momentum you gain what is called “traction”, which is a large enough audience base (about 500 readers a day is good) that you no longer have to work too hard on finding new readers. Instead your current loyal readers do the work for you through word of mouth. Top 10 Tips

10. Write at least five major “pillar” articles. A pillar article is usually a tutorial style article aimed to teach your audience something. Generally they are longer than 500 words and have lots of very practical tips or advice. This article you are currently reading could be considered a pillar article since it is very practical and a good “how-to” lesson. This style of article has long term appeal, stays current (it isn’t news or time dependent) and offers real value and insight. The more pillars you have on your blog the better.

9. Write one new blog post per day minimum. Not every post has to be a pillar, but you should work on getting those five pillars done at the same time as you keep your blog fresh with a daily news or short article style post. The important thing here is to demonstrate to first time visitors that your blog is updated all the time so they feel that if they come back tomorrow they will likely find something new. This causes them to bookmark your site or subscribe to your blog feed.

You don’t have to produce one post per day all the time but it is important you do when your blog is brand new. Once you get traction you still need to keep the fresh content coming but your loyal audience will be more forgiving if you slow down to a few per week instead. The first few months are critical so the more content you can produce at this time the better.

8. Use a proper domain name. If you are serious about blogging be serious about what you call your blog. In order for people to easily spread the word about your blog you need an easily rememberable domain name. People often talk about blogs they like when they are speaking to friends in the real world (that’s the offline world, you remember that place right?) so you need to make it easy for them to spread the word and pass on your URL. Try and get a .com if you can and focus on small easy to remember domains rather than worry about having the correct keywords (of course if you can get great keywords and easy to remember then you’ve done a good job!).

7. Start commenting on other blogs. Once you have your pillar articles and your daily fresh smaller articles your blog is ready to be exposed to the world. One of the best ways to find the right type of reader for your blog is to comment on other people’s blogs. You should aim to comment on blogs focused on a similar niche topic to yours since the readers there will be more likely to be interested in your blog.

Most blog commenting systems allow you to have your name/title linked to your blog when you leave a comment. This is how people find your blog. If you are a prolific commentor and always have something valuable to say then people will be interested to read more of your work and hence click through to visit your blog.

6. Trackback and link to other blogs in your blog posts. A trackback is sort of like a blog conversation. When you write a new article to your blog and it links or references another blogger’s article you can do a trackback to their entry. What this does is leave a truncated summary of your blog post on their blog entry – it’s sort of like your blog telling someone else’s blog that you wrote an article mentioning them. Trackbacks often appear like comments.

This is a good technique because like leaving comments a trackback leaves a link from another blog back to yours for readers to follow, but it also does something very important – it gets the attention of another blogger. The other blogger will come and read your post eager to see what you wrote about them. They may then become a loyal reader of yours or at least monitor you and if you are lucky some time down the road they may do a post linking to your blog bringing in more new readers.

5. Encourage comments on your own blog. One of the most powerful ways to convince someone to become a loyal reader is to show there are other loyal readers already following your work. If they see people commenting on your blog then they infer that your content must be good since you have readers so they should stick around and see what all the fuss is about. To encourage comments you can simply pose a question in a blog post. Be sure to always respond to comments as well so you can keep the conversation going.

4. Submit your latest pillar article to a blog carnival. A blog carnival is a post in a blog that summarizes a collection of articles from many different blogs on a specific topic. The idea is to collect some of the best content on a topic in a given week. Often many other blogs link back to a carnival host and as such the people that have articles featured in the carnival enjoy a spike in new readers.

To find the right blog carnival for your blog, do a search at http://blogcarnival.com.

3. Submit your blog to blogtopsites.com. To be honest this tip is not going to bring in a flood of new readers but it’s so easy to do and only takes five minutes so it’s worth the effort. Go to Blog Top Sites, find the appropriate category for your blog and submit it. You have to copy and paste a couple of lines of code on to your blog so you can rank and then sit back and watch the traffic come in. You will probably only get 1-10 incoming readers per day with this technique but over time it can build up as you climb the rankings. It all helps!

2. Submit your articles to EzineArticles.com. This is another tip that doesn’t bring in hundreds of new visitors immediately (although it can if you keep doing it) but it’s worthwhile because you simply leverage what you already have – your pillar articles. Once a week or so take one of your pillar articles and submit it to Ezine Articles. Your article then becomes available to other people who can republish your article on their website or in their newsletter.

How you benefit is through what is called your “Resource Box”. You create your own resource box which is like a signature file where you include one to two sentences and link back to your website (or blog in this case). Anyone who publishes your article has to include your resource box so you get incoming links. If someone with a large newsletter publishes your article you can get a lot of new readers at once.

1. Write more pillar articles. Everything you do above will help you to find blog readers however all of the techniques I’ve listed only work when you have strong pillars in place. Without them if you do everything above you may bring in readers but they won’t stay or bother to come back. Aim for one solid pillar article per week and by the end of the year you will have a database of over 50 fantastic feature articles that will work hard for you to bring in more and more readers.
