About
Steve M Nash
-- Owner of 2 Sites Powered by SBI
Or, Who is Steve Nash
and Why On Earth
Should You Trust What He Has To Say!Hello,
my name is Steve M Nash and I look something like
this... 
And
I am a Site Build It! owner (aka SBIer) who owns these 2 websites powered
by SBI: - Self
Help Collective - guru-free self-help (owned since 2008)
- How
I Promote My Website - free website promotion guide (owned since 2001)
(Note:
I do not own or run the Site Build It! service. That is Sitesell's job. :-) ) And
whilst I firmly believe that SBI! is ideal for beginners, I've actually been a
so-called webmaster (or website owner) since 1998, and so I also run and make
a full-time living from the following non-SBI! sites - TextMeFree.com
- Free sms text messaging guide
- Shop
Tour UK - UK shopping guide, I guess!
- Photos4
- Guide to printing your digital photographs
- (I own many other sites,
too.)
Yes, so I know that it's possible to succeed online with AND
without SBI! Still I firmly believe that success with SBI! is easier-to-achieve,
for a wider range of people. But first, a bit more about me... Who
is Steve M Nash?Well, put simply, I'm someone who believes in doing
things the right way, with integrity. And this is whether we are talking about
business life or personal life. Of course I make mistakes like everybody else,
but over the years I have received lots of kind, appreciative words about
my websites and my email newsletters... "Steve,
you are a diamond in the Internet rough!"

(talking about SBI! site HowIPromoteMyWebsite.com)
"I
know you will get fed up of me telling you this, but
you have been an inspiration.
When I first started
getting your newsletter I was a hobbiest with a web site
built in MS publisher. Now I turn over 1/4 million year
and employ 2 people.
It has been a great journey and
believe me I can be critical, but I have never
found
one fault with anything you say."

(talking about my newsletter Promote!
Promote! Promote!)
"Thanks a lot for your
work"
-- Neda from Iran in 2008
(talking about TextMeFree.com) "...
I really love your "guru-free" ideals ...It's a wonderful message!"

Dr Lam Huynh (PhD in clinical psychology) in 2009
(talking about SBI! site
SelfHelpCollective.com) But
really , I'm nobody special. I just believe in trying to do the best that I can
as often as I can. Probably a bit like you, really! :-) Anyway, enough about
me, let's talk some more about success, and how using the internet to make money
online really is a fantastic opportunity for all of us, especially in the next
few years... "Using the Internet to Make Money
Online
is a Great Business Decision and an
Even Better Personal Lifestyle
Decision..."I also believe that an online business is a fantastic
way to make a passive income. Imagine, for example, taking a 1-week holiday
(or even a 6-month holiday) and coming back to find that you've continued to earn
a 'wage' in that time. Not holiday pay, but a real passive income. Of
course websites need time and work to create and maintain, and motivation and
dedication are key personal attributes you'll need too, but once you get there
- as I have - you can literally work as many or as few hours as you like. So...
I think everybody should try to make an income online! And the best
way to do that, would be to use Site Build It! (Yes, that means I also
think everybody should be SBI! site owners! :-) ) And that's why I created
this free guide to Site
Build It! (that you're on) - to help spread the word. (Or you can just visit
the Site Build It! site directly, to learn more!*)
...Site Build It! Really Does Make
it Easy For You!SBI! really is an empowering suite
of all-in-one site-building tools that helps pretty much anybody build,
promote and profit from their skills, knowledge and passions (and we all have
those, don't we!) via their own website. So
I've tried to explain on this site, the following key points: - How
SBI! Works - Use the SBI! Action Guide
& follow the site-building philosophy of Content, Traffic, Presell,
Monetize
- Who
SBI! Works for
- Short answer: anybody prepared to work hard, follow instructions, and help and
be helped (in the SBI! forums)
I've also tried to detail
the SBI! Tools that are available for beginner and expert alike. I've
tried to explain the alternative ways you can do SBI! - e.g. SBI!
eLearning (learn SBI!, with others, online) or SiteSell
Services (let someone else build your SBI! site for you) And I've tried
to answer frequently asked questions that prospective
SBI! owners might have. All using my own words and my own experiences. Still,
and whilst I really do believe in Site Build It!, there are difficulties
with using it... What's Wrong With SBI!?This
is a good question. SBI! does not suit everybody, that's for sure:
- SBI! does not suit GRQers (Get Rich Quick types) And the
only people, if any, who get rich quick are the people who sell GRQ products
- SBI!
does not suit people who know better. These are usually site owners or
webmasters who already know how to build successful websites - they do it their
way - and so they don't follow the instructions (contained in the Action Guide)
and so... the reality is they don't succeed. Which means...
- SBI!
does not suit people and who can't follow instructions
- SBI! does
not suit people who give up quickly, who don't use the determination and dedication
that is inside them, but prefer to chase the 'next big thing' instead. (Failure
suits some people. It validates their view of the world! :-( Think about that
a moment.)
- SBI! does not suit people who have impressive and technically
challenging requirements. E.g. Site Build It! could not create Twitter, or Facebook
or MySpace or Digg.com
SBI! takes a lot of hard work! And
you have to ask yourself whether you're prepared to put in that hard work, so
that only in a year or maybe two years (or even more) you then start to see the
fruits of your efforts - via site monetization models like affiliate marketing,
or Google Adsense or selling your own product or selling your services or... The
monetization list is not exhaustive, but there are many ways to monetize, as you'll
discover when you read Day 10 of the SBI! Action
Guide What's Wrong With This Site, Site-Buildit.com
?This is a also good question. (On a roll, eh! ;-) ) Okay, Site-Bulidit.com
is NOT a Site Build It! Site. Why not? Well, SBI! sites are best created about
themes that are not related to making money online, for one thing, and - yes!
- it's cheaper for me to host this site elsewhere, and build it using my own skills. Having
said that, Site-Buildit.com only gets 30 visitors per day. So maybe I should build
it again using the technologies and site building philosophies behind Site Build
It! Also... DISCLAIMER (Short
Version) I use and truly love this product. I recommend it because
it works. I earn a commission if you click on one of my links to their site. It's
a nice bonus for spreading the word about a product that changes lives by building
businesses. (Long Version) I get paid a commission
of $75 for each sale of Site Build It! I refer. (And I can earn $125 for a sale
of SBI! eLearning and between $150 and $250 for
sales of SiteSell Services packages. It's
important to realise that none of these items would be cheaper if you bought direct
from SiteSell, who owns Site Build It!!) So that means that I am encouraged
to 'sell' Site Build It! to you and you may not believe my impartiality. Let
me say this to you: I firmly believe in Site Build It! and would promote it
whether I earned a commission or not. The commissions I earn - and I usually
refer 3 or 4 SBI! sales per month - only serve to help me promote SBI! more. This
sales 'process' is known as affiliate marketing and is as old as marketing itself.
(A large percentage of sales for sites like Amazon.com, Dell.com, Match.com are
delivered by affiliates, via affiliate marketing.) Anyway, if you don't
like this idea of affiliate marketing - and if you don't then making money online
will become much more difficult for you, should you ever decide to buy a SBI!
site (or just decide to make money blogging) - then simply visit http://www.sitesell.com
and you can buy SBI! there directly. It won't be cheaper, but you won't pay me
the $75 commission. (You may well have to clear all your web browser cookies first.) But
if the idea of affiliate marketing does appeal then SiteSell run a
great 2-tier affiliate program offering the potential of lifetime commissions. END
DISCLAIMER All that being said... I wouldn't be here, and neither
would you I guess, if I wasn't a fan of Site Build It!, so let's accentuate the
positive, shall we... Okay, Okay... What's RIGHT
With SBI!?This is the best question of all! :-) I believe that SBI!
is the best way for almost anyone to make money online, using their skills, passion
and knowledge. And, if you've read this far, I urge you to check out the
rest of Site-Buildit.com - my free guide to Site Build It! - to
learn more. But, put simply: Site Build It! is potentially life-transforming,
if you let it be so Really. So, I guess you have to ask yourself
whether you want to transform your life - put in the hard work, take the personal
risks - or if you're happy with things just the way they are. If transformation
is what you're after, then I urge you to learn more about SBI!. And you can do
so in the following places... (A) Learn
more about SBI! by exploring this site
(B) Visit
SiteSell's Site Build It! to learn more* (C) Take
the SBI! Video Tour*, or
(D) Listen
to Other SBIers
Say "Why I Love SBI!"* Thanks
for reading about me, Steve M Nash, and about Site Build It!. And I wish
you the best with whatever you decide to do. :-) |
