Yesterday someone came to me, he had seen both of my websites, www.pulau-pangkor.com and www.bicycle-adventures.com and wanted to know how I did it. He told me he had no knowlegde of html, xhtml, rss, blog, php, cgi and asked me if I wanted to teach him that.

I get regularly questions like this. Some people read the websites, blogs, RSS or newsletter and say, hey, that looks good, how do you do it? How do build such a website? Is it difficult? Can I do it? I don't have much time.

The answer is always the same: no it is not difficult if you use the right technique. There are many who claim to have the knowledge to get in the top 10 of Google. Yahoo and MSN. I have done my research. For me, there's nothing else then Site Build It.

I have three main things I want:

• I want to make money from both of my websites.
• I want to spend my time effectively (after all, a day has only 24 hours)
• I like my subjects more then the techniques behind it. So I want to focus on my subjects

Let's look at the points. Isn't it nice to make some additional money for a holiday, or a new car? I don't want to be busy with writing html, php or cgi scripts. What I want is a good decent way to build a website in a way that within a reasonable time, I would generate money with a subject that I really liked.

But where to start? I choose for Sitesell. The reason was simple, I read the website and I enjoyed the way the site "spoke" to me. Also, I was impressed by the testimonials. If you don't believe me, have a look here:

http://case-studies.sitesell.com/webselling64290.html 

But that's testimonials, big deal, people tell you what you want to hear, right? Is there then any proof of how the system works so well? Fortunately yes:

http://proof.sitesell.com/

Sitesell works especially well for small businesses. Find your topic, follow the 10 days instructions manual and you are on your way.

"Uhmm... Peter, I have no subject... what to do?" Everybody has something he knows something someone else needs. Everybody. And if you don't know it, you can learn. After all, when I started the Pangkor website, I didn't know anything about Pulau Pangkor. In the same way, when I got my very first bicycle, I couldn't cycle. But I was learning quick!

It doesn't have to be a tourist website, it can be about any subject, from

http://www.danish-schnapps-recipes.com/

to

ttp://www.writershelper.com/ 

or

http://www.homeschool-living.com/

to

http://www.lets-tour-bangkok.com/

And if you have still no idea what to write about, this page helps you make a selection:

More examples you find in the case studies:

How does it work?

I wrote a page about the main principle of writing a decent websites that will work.

http://www.pulau-pangkor.com/complete_site_build_it.html

This page tells you everything you need to know to start.

One thing you have to understand very well, it is NOT a quick rich scheme. There's nothing hidden in the system. Just follow the instructions in the manual and you're on your way to have an internet business.

SBI is a system for everybody who is not really interested in writing html, cgi or php (though you can use your own html if you want). Dr Burch makes $100.000 a year nowadays with this website: http://www.drburch.com and when he started he didn't know anything about html.

Marc Liron was manager at Microsoft and gave up his job because SBI gave him freedom with this website: http://www.updatexp.com/ He earns more then he ever earned at Microsoft. You better check it!.

Most important in this way is that you write about what you enjoy, what you like, what you love. When working on your website it will not feel as work, it will be fun. And that is what I have with both of my websites: I love to write about them, I want to share my knowledge, my views and my ideas about the subjects. I have to say,

These are my two websites:

www.pulau-pangkor.com and www.bicycle-adventures.com

Another very good websites build with Sitesell here in Malaysia is:

http://www.cameron-highland-destination.com/

My favorite is a website about a Malaysian destination build on the principles of Sitesell is writen by Dr. Ruhaizad Daud who lives in Sabah.

http://www.mount-kinabalu-borneo.com/

Sitesell created a whole new life for me. Sitesell is for everybody, young and old, computer literate or not.

Hopefully this gives you something to work with. If you have any questions, feel free to mail or call me.

You can also ask Sitesell yourself. They have a great service about all the aspects of Sitesell which I can recommend (and it's free):

Find your way to freedom! All the best on your path to success
