Create a Strong Business-Building Chain

Ken's Blog

There are many mistakes that small e-business owners make. I would say that most non-SBIers fail simply because they don't have the right process-and-tools to take them all the way.

They may think they do, but they're usually just buying into a faulty model (a Get-Rich-Quick scam, the latest hot thing, whatever). Or they insist on making their lives 100 times harder than it needs to be by following all the gurus (each with different opinions), by keeping on top of things, by changing directions 100 times (as the gurus change), by spending money on more and more "must have" tools, etc.

These entrepreneurs fail for so many reasons. As a result, there's no "biggest" reason to pinpoint. Except, of course, that they should have chosen SBI! to build their business. The sad part is that they usually don't learn from their mistakes and they'll either repeat the same ones or make new ones the next time around.

So what about SBIers? Are you immune to mistakes?...

The Case Studies Are Much More Than That!

Ken's Blog

Folks tend to think of case-studies.sitesell.com as part of the "sales site." But the stories of success are so much more than that. For example...

Anyone who wants to launch a hard good offline and online, simply must study how Richard Bergman did it. His business approach is clearly laid out and it has paid him huge dividends. Richard's latest update...

http://case-studies.sitesell.com/hard-goods-richard-2009.html

... is staggering.

Find the SBIer Case Study who most closely matches your business model (ex., e-good creator/seller, network marketing (MLM), service seller, affiliate marketing, etc.). You're not so much interested in how the person did it (s/he followed the SBI! Action Guide!).

But do study how SBI! was specifically applied... and how the SBIer pushed the envelope.

You will discover some tremendous lessons to apply to your own e-business.

All the best,

A Letter From an SBIer

Ken's Blog

I received a wonderful e-mail yesterday. An SBIer sent it privately because he didn't want it in the SBI! Forums.

There were several strong lessons in it, so I asked him if I could make a post about it if I removed all identifiable information. With his consent (and I use the masculine here to avoid the his/her awkwardness), here's the letter...

---------------------------------

Hi Ken,

Just wanted to share that I broke the magical barrier of $1000 per day with my earnings in October - that's almost 4 years since I found SBI.

I don't feel very comfortable sharing that in the forums for various reasons.

I thought you might want to know about it, and assure you that Sitesell enables people to do some life changing projects.

The ________________.com site is my main earner - my record is 7800 daily visitors and the site earns on average over $300 per day in AdSense, over $200 per day with Chitika and over $200 per day with Amazon affiliate program. The rest I earn with my other sites...

I am moving to a new apartment this month and I will have to take some credit of around $70,000. I told the lady in the bank that I will pay it back in a few months and she just couldn't get it. Most people pay such amount back in 10, 15 or 20 years.

I am also flying business class to Thailand at the end of the year and will do a cruise from Singapore to other nice Asian countries.

I've also motivated about 5 or 6 of my friends here in ____________ and persuaded them to start with SBI so you might see more people from ___________ posting in the forums. We are quite shy though...

I don't have to persuade my friends much - they just see how I live and the desire for freedom eventually wins in their minds. It's sad to realize that all this time they believed that freedom is not possible.

It is! Thanks again for all the effort you put into Sitesell and the forums!

Best regards,

What a letter! Now, this is not a Case Study SBIer, just someone who followed the Action Guide, persisted and exceeded his earliest goals. Before we get into the letter...

The "3-Stage-Think-Through" Strategy

Ken's Blog

SBI!, with 70+ modules in its system, provides everything you need to build a profitable e-business that has real equity. SBIers generally pick and choose the feature combo that makes the most sense for them. The others are there, if and when they need them.

That's why I wasn't surprised the other day when someone asked me in the SBI! Forums whether or not it's worth your while to spend some time and effort learning about an SBI! feature that you have yet to try. My answer to this great question is simple...
