About SBI!

What can I tell you about SBI! ? Site Build It!(SBI!) is the website system that I have used to create this site and a few others. I also created my first site -www.thebodyworker.com using the SBI! principles that I learned after reading my first SBI! Ebook called "Make Your Site Sell".

The major premise is that it is information that people are looking for online so it is information that you should give them! People love information and search engines love it too. The way the information is organized and presented to the Search engines can also help but SBI! teaches you how to do all of that!

My first SBI! site was www.massagetherapycareers.com which I sold in Sept. '08 just so I could start this site. The buyers were really only buying my traffic though but it is all the content that I wrote that got the traffic. I am just doing the same thing here but only better.

What I like about SBI! and finally really get is that to be successful you need a keyword driven site. This time around I am going exactly by the action guide and following the keyword plan that the Brainstorm It! software helped me create. It is a keyword research tool that tells you what keywords people are using to search for that are related to your topic. If you don't have a topic, it also can help you find one.

My first site I wrote more for myself than for my readers. My career path through massage was quite a challenge and I felt sort of resentful that massage schools and associations didn't seem to mention any of the challenges I would be faced with. I went in blindly and while it all worked out just fine, I can now share what I have learned with others to hopefully make the process easier for the next.

Now with my websites that make me more than half of my income, I can choose what clients I take and be more on target with building my ideal massage business rather than just taking every client that calls. I did that before thinking that I needed everyone of them to make a living when in fact some of them ended up draining me more for various reasons.

The way I make money is mainly through Google Adsense. Google lets you have a free account and has a system that lets you put their advertisements on your site. When people click on the ads you get paid. When I first heard about it, I couldn't believe it because I didn't think that anyone clicked on ads. ( I didn't that is for sure!) But now I know different! I also use SBI! for my clinic website www.massageseattle.net. It gets me a steady flow of new clients. I write about the various conditions and what massage can do for others. People can find my site by using the keywords 'massage, seattle' so when a person gets to my site, they are already looking for a massage therapist in Seattle which is really targeted marketing. It works much better for me than blindly sending flyers or advertising or even having to make friends with everyone on Facebook who are not looking for massage.

So having a website can help you build a successful massage business and it can also help you make additional income to help support yourself. Finding another topic to write about is really easy for me so if you need help in coming up with ideas, just let me know.

It is my hope that you will soon be saying "I am terribly sorry. I am not accepting new clients. I am booked for the next 3 months!" Read more...

Advertising Policy: As per the FCC Guidelines, I do make money when someone purchases an SBI! system through one of my links here or on any of my websites. The reason I use and promote SBI! is because I have found it to work - plain and simple. I have been using it successfully since 2002.

With so many massage therapists always struggling to make money in this field, it is my goal to help people get a steady flow of clients from their website and also to make additional money themselves so you can focus on what you do best - doing massage.

When you do purchase an SBI! website system through one of my links, I am also happy to help you in any way I can. I have a small private Yahoo! Group of massage therapists who are working on SBI! websites in varying stages and I personally am happy to help in any way I can - brainstorming your keywords for your massage website or on another topic, planning your blueprint or finding your voice.

Just contact me for an invitation to the Yahoo! Group or with any questions. I don't know it all but I have been around for awhile and know how to find things in the SBI! forums and in their massive library of resources and in the action guide.

To Your Success!

PS. Your Results may vary but it is a learning process. Be sure to contact me if you are not getting the results that you want and I can help in guiding you along the way! I have been there believe me and have also had a few SBI! sites that I gave up on myself because I didn't understand the whole process at the time. Failure doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't work! It just means you learned how to make it better!
