Overlooked Small Business Opportunity on the Net
Perhaps the Most Overlooked Small
Business Opportunity on the Net
..... and How to Earn a Superior Living at It
I recently returned from a 10 day Spring Break vacation on
one of the most charming islands in the entire world,
Anguilla...
http://www.beaches.ai/
A friend of a friend has a financial services business
there. And that got me thinking (yes, I know, THAT'S always
a dangerous event -- luckily, it's rare!)...
Do you know what the single largest sector of the business
world is?
SERVICES!
Care to guess the single most overlooked business
opportunity on the Net?
SERVICES!
Let's digress for a moment before we talk about the
excellent online prospects in the area of SERVICES...
SOHOs/small businesses *DO* have excellent prospects in the
two major online e-commerce areas that *DO* get so much
coverage...
- Affiliate programs -- Done properly, there's good money
to be made PREselling other merchants' products.
-----SIDEBAR-----
Allan Gardyne (yes, of associateprograms.com
fame) has said that "if you join only one
program, make it the 5 Pillar Program" and he
has called it "the perfect revenue sharing
program." Ralph Wilson (wilsonweb.com) says
that "Ken Evoy has taken affiliate programs
to the next level."

- E-goods -- Develop your own e-good and sell it online as your business opportunity.
What's an e-good? It's a digital product.
What's so great about this? It turns the Net into a
frictionless DISTRIBUTION medium.
So what? Well, if you have an online store that sells
widgets, you still have to pick-pack-and-ship, just like any
OFFLINE mail order operation. In this case, the Net is
reduced to merely being a COMMUNICATION medium, an online
catalog, really... an excellent one, of course. But you
still have all the hassle of dealing with products made of
MOLECULES.
Give me products made of ELECTRONS, any day! They pass
right through the Internet... real smooth! The powerful
combination of digital fulfillment and total automation (so
easy and D0-able on the Net) translates into a unprecedented
ability to SCALE your business! After you've developed your
e-good, your incremental costs are the same whether you sell
one product, or 1,000,000 products... ZERO time (no pick-
pack-and-ship) and ZERO dollars (except for small % for
transaction processing).
What could be more encouraging and satisfying? (Besides
Angelina Jolie smiling at me, that is? :-) )
-----SIDEBAR-----
If the business opportunity: selling e-goods interests you...
Three NEW modules are now installed in Site Build
It!
An *E-commerce Module* provides you with a
merchant account to clear credit cards
online. Plus, you'll have the ability to
digitally deliver your e-goods in much the
same fashion that SiteSell does now.
An *Affiliate Module* allows you to build
and manage your own affiliate program. Offer
your visitors "commission incentives" to
promote YOUR products on their Web sites.
A *Mailout Module* allows you to build,
manage, and contact several E-mail Address
Lists (in text and HTML formatted e-mails)...
- Opt-in e-zine
- Customer e-zines
- Affiliate e-zine
(In addition, we have put the finishing
touches on a powerful server-side module
which provides Photoshop-quality logos
and navbars which you can build with a few
keystrokes and button clicks.)
This e-commerce value bundle (the first 3
modules) is offered separately, for a
fixed annual fee, plus a percentage of your
sales that's lower than ANY OTHER COMPANY in
this space. (The OPT-IN zine will be part
of the "regular," current affiliate value
bundle, permanently.)
But you haven't heard the BEST business opportunity part yet...
I'll be offering ALL 3 new modules in the
e-commerce value bundle to current SBI!
subscribers for FREE. Site Build It! will be
THE ultimate, the total, e-commerce Web
hosting package! Heck, even in its present
form, SBI!'ers are super-impressed with its
innovative capabilities and affordable
price...
Wait 'til they see how e-goods e-commerce
adds to the bottom line! :-)
In short...
If you're already a Site Build It! subscriber and working
With this business opportunity:
when we launch the new modules, these modules
will AUTOMATICALLY be added to the remainder
of your current annual subscription... AT NO
ADDITIONAL CHARGE (except, of course, for the
% for transaction processing).
If you're NOT YET a SBI!'er, get it now.
Start building your site while you create
your e-good (digital book, collection of
photos, software, etc., etc.). By the time
you're ready to sell your e-good, we'll be
ready to accommodate you with the most
radical, advanced Web hosting on the Net, at
no extra charge, same as for existing
SBI!'ers!
SBI! is the future of e-commerce Web hosting.
(Think about it... you don't have to take
your phone apart and understand its
technology to make a business phone call, do
you?)
Get SBI! now... and receive the E-commerce business opportunity
Value Bundle free for the rest of the year,
too...

-----SIDEBAR-----
OK, end of digression (actually, end of SIDEBAR off the
digression!). Our bottom line so far? Building an
affiliate business opportunity and selling e-goods certainly deserve all
their "good press."
But NOW, let's talk about the largest single sector of the
business world, SERVICES!
Selling your services online is a FANTASTIC way to leverage
your income-building potential and business opportunity -- all at a minimum cost.
-----SIDEBAR-----
By services, I don't necessarily mean Net-
related services like programming or Web
design (although they can and should be
included here). You could be...
- a cartoon artist
- an import/export specialist for Germany
- an investment specialist in Brazilian bonds
- an expert in Japanese netsuke
- an accountant with special knowledge of tax havens
- a copywriter
- a trainer (of just about anything!)
- an editor for medical articles
- someone who creates indexes for books
- a pharmaceutical expert
- a translator (do you know two languages?)
- an architect
- a consulting engineer
The diversity of this world, and the people
in it, never ceases to amaze me. Just about
everyone has an expertise in something that
they could sell and make their business opportunity. Heck, odds are they are
already selling it as their primary income
source... but have never thought seriously
about generating customers globally by using
the Web's full potential. (Which brings me
back to my friend of a friend in Anguilla!)
-----SIDEBAR-----
Dubious? Don't think this happens? Well, consider this...
I found SiteSell's current FileMaker Database Programmer on
the Internet. I've never met him in person. He happens to
live in Australia, which is about as far from Montreal,
Canada, as one can get unless you move to the South pole!
But this "service-provider" has made over $80,000 of
additional income from SiteSell in the last 18 months!
-----SIDEBAR-----
Note the word "current" above? I like to
keep him on his toes! ;-)
I learned that from my wife, who introduces
me as her "first husband." ;-)
-----SIDEBAR-----
How much of that $80,000 would he have earned if I had not
found him through the Internet?
That's correct -- ZERO.
And that's another VERY attractive aspect about selling your
Business opportunity services on the Net. A SINGLE CLIENT can bring in
substantial dollars (don't ask me what a MARRIED ONE can
bring in!). So techniques like mastering the SEs,
paid-inclusion programs, listing in directories and building
massive Pay-Per-Click campaigns have a terrific ROI (Return
on Investment).
What do most service businesses do online to add new clients
to their roster? Either...
o nothing at all
-OR-
o put up a "circa 1997" brochure site that no one visits
(except for a few local clients, who don't see the point,
nor would I)
-OR-
o post their services on any number of online spots, such
as Guru.com. That simply does NOT get the job done.
Think about the process of hiring a new service provider,
say a top-notch FileMaker programmer or a real estate agent
in Anguilla! What's the key?
Trust...
- Are they good?
- Are they honest?
- Are they easy to work with?
- And so on, and so on...
Building that trust means building a relationship with a
potential business opportunity client. That's why anyone selling their services
via the Net really MUST have his/her own Web site.
In order for someone to hire you...
- First, they MUST be able to find you (most surfers use
search results provided by Search Engines).
- Second, they simply MUST get to know you and trust you.
You accomplish this by building credibility and providing
valuable information (the content) on your site. You have
to show your potential employers that you can provide THE
solution that they seek.
How do you get found? Simple. Build lots and lots of
Keyword-Focused Content Pages, all within a Theme-Based
Content Site, which of course is tightly related to the
service you are selling.
OK, let's recap...
In order to effectively sell your business opportunity services online, you must
have a Web site that...
- introduces you as the expert, and builds your credibility
with your visitor.
- effectively targets various appropriate keyword phrases
to ensure that the people who need your service find your
Web site.
- "GIVES before TAKING" -- provides the visitor with some
free valuable information in the form of content, and/or a
free opt-in e-zine. Actually, when it comes to selling a
service, a top-notch e-zine is INVALUABLE!
And what's the easiest, headache-free way to accomplish all
this? You guessed it...
Site Build It!...
Click here!
With SBI!, you focus ONLY on your business opportunity. We take care of
all the rest for you. It's as easy as using the phone,
unless you're using one of those new-fangled wireless
babies, in which case SBI! is much easier! ;-)
Here are just a few of the many more reasons why Site Build
It! is a MUST for A-N-Y-O-N-E who wants to sell a service
online...
- With the server-side tools of the SBI! system, you can
build your own Theme-Based Content Site(s), filled with as
many keyword-focused content pages as you wish -- without the
complexities and headaches of HTML or FTP. *YOU* only have
to worry about what you already know... your business opportunity.
- The client-side SBI! Manager and its incredible
Brainstorming tool hones in on the most profitable keywords
for you to target.
- Use the Manager, as well, to build a massive
Pay-Per-Click Search Engine campaign.
-----SIDEBAR-----
These intensive tasks would normally take
hours, even days but with the SBI! Manager
they can be done... in minutes.
-----SIDEBAR-----
- As I mentioned, the ROI is superb. It's really worth it
to spend on paid-inclusion programs, Pay-Per-Click
campaigns, and directory listings (and naturally, SBI! makes
it all, including the tracking, a snap!) When a client can
bring you thousands of dollars in business, it stretches how
much you can afford to pay for certain traffic-building
strategies.
- SE expertise? Ha! Just hit the "Analyze It!" button,
and your page is critiqued for over 30 parameters that
account for top Search Engine (SE) rankings. All you have
to do to start ranking well at the engines is follow
directions! :-)
- What about submitting, and when should you re-submit?
Relax and focus on your business -- SBI! submits your pages
automatically, in an SE-friendly way. We even track and
report spider visits to ensure that the SEs "get the
message." And SBI! tells you how well each page is doing at
each of the major engines.
- SBI! also tracks and analyzes click-ins (INTO your site)
and click-throughs (OUT OF your site) so that you can easily
get the "big picture" of your traffic-building efforts...
that way, you know where/how to spend your time and money.
- Now, you have your own opt-in e-zine ability, to
continuously build and strengthen relationships with
potential clients. And you can also sell an
e-book on your area of expertise, which has two advantages...
i) develops an extra stream of income
ii) builds a strong-but-unspoken "expert" image.
I could go on and on, but here's the bottom line...
Site Build It! truly is a fascinating and amazing tool! If
you haven't yet seen how some of our enterprising customers
are using SBI!, click on the "Click here to see actual
customer SBI! sites" link on the SBI! home page. Enjoy the
slide show...

want it to do, just ask for your money back. You can even
keep your new domain name as a gift from us, as our thank
you for giving us a chance to do business with you.
Get your business opportunity here!
-----SIDEBAR-----
Remember, as mentioned above...
- E-commerce Module -- automatic sale and
fulfillment of e-goods, including merchant
account.
- Affiliate Module -- now you can have
thousands of folks PREselling for YOU!
- Mailout Module -- build, manage, and
contact several E-mail Address Lists.
-----SIDEBAR-----
No doubt about it... it's amazing how under-represented
services are in the land of e-commerce. But, in a sense,
that's a good thing.
Why? Because...
SBI! is about to give you THE edge on your competition! :-)
I am delighted to provide you with answers to your questions...
