My name is Marlene Challis. I'm a wife and mother and up until about 1994, I knew absolutely nothing about computers or business.
When we first got a computer, I was afraid to touch the keyboard in case I pressed the wrong key and it blew up!
With the guidance of my husband teaching me the basics of getting it turned on and playing some games, I finally
found my way around.
Then we got connected to the internet. That was scary trying to work out how the "net" worked. I learnt by pressing buttons and figuring things out as I went along. My two daughters gave me some pointers but apart from that, I taught myself everything I know. I have a high school certificate but no college degree and I have no formal computer or business training.
When I mastered getting around the "net", a whole new world opened up. It was exciting being able to find out information about anything you wanted. I started to use the "net" to search for travel specials for our holidays and I booked them online.

I have a lot of information on my site. If you have trouble remembering where that great bargain was or the wonderful article, just type in your search word in the box below and hey presto, you will be able to find it.
In 2002, I wanted to do something to contribute to the household income. I didn't know what but I loved the internet and knew that had to be involved somehow.
In November 2002, I came across an internet company that was doing a promotion in a city near where I lived. It sounded like just what I was interested in, so my husband and I went along to hear what they had to say. Well, to cut a long story short, we were naive and got ripped off big
time!
I was very upset and extremely angry but I wanted to succeed on the internet and I had to find a way. I had plenty of ideas, I just didn't know how to put them together. So I used the wonderful world of the internet and started doing research. What I found, was SBI! which kept coming up with rave reviews.
SBI! makes online business success do-able. Anyone can succeed with an all-in-one process, tools, and guidance. If a novice like me can do it, then anyone can.
The process is simplified to such a degree that success (i.e., profits, not the mere presence of a Web site) is achievable even for a beginner. For an experienced person, achieving success is even smoother. SBI! really does change lives.
Yes, there are easier ways to build a Web site. However, online profits require more than just having a collection of Web pages. SBI! includes all the tools and a proven process required to build a long-term, profitable e-business.
You get more than just a "site builder." You don't need to worry about looking for separate hosting, paying for a separate keyword research tool, handling site submissions, integrating autoresponders, etc., etc. See the full list of features here
I didn't know anything about HTML and I found that SBI! removed the technical barriers allowing you to keep your attention on building your business. Many functions are completely automated. You don't need to know anything upfront about building a Web site in order to succeed. The tedious, "under-the-hood" stuff is handled automatically so you can focus on other important business-building activities.
I decided to give it a try. It was certainly a lot cheaper than the other company, so we didn't have as much to lose if they turned out to be no good as well. In November 2002 I registered my first business and I was off and running.
Since then I have taught myself everything I know. I built one SBI site and then another. I started selling my digital photos online as well. In 2006, I purchased a franchise and because I didn't have the time to devote to my websites, I sold them. Unfortunately, I became ill and had to sell my franchise. I returned to SBI! and this website is the result.
SBI! is the only product that takes the time to prepare you to build a profitable business, before you jump into building your site. For the beginner, your learning curve will be shorter and you'll bypass any show-stopping errors. For those experienced in site-building, SBI! deepens your level of understanding. No matter who you are, you are guided all the way until you succeed.
The Action Guide presents a step-by-step process, presented in both written and video formats. All you have to do is follow it. Really! The most successful SBI! owners say "all they did was follow the Guide." They don't get sidetracked, or have to guess at what to do next. SBI!'s guided approach helps you reach your goals.
Continuous mentoring via the Action Guide and online help is always available. Learn by reading (written guide) or watching (video guide)! You are carefully guided every step of the way, which make success that much more do-able. Advanced help is also available (when you are ready for it), all designed to save you time and keep you moving forward.
SBI! comes with unlimited Customer Support. SBI! owners often call it the best they've ever experienced. And the SBI! Forums complete the picture. They are the most friendly, help-and-be-helped set of e-business forums in the world.
Too many non-SBI! sites start without profits being "built into" the process from DAY 1. It all begins with the right process. Content

Page creation is as simple as riding a bike with its training wheels still attached. No need to know HTML. The block-by-block builder trains you how to write a page that is both "Search Engine and human effective." It's simple, do-able and most importantly, effective site-building. The block-by-block builder is perfect for beginners, but even many "advanced" users should start with this tool. It's an excellent way to break bad habits!
Since SBI! is compatible with popular HTML editors (ex., Dreamweaver) and image tools (ex., Photoshop, Flash, etc.), you can easily use advanced page-building techniques, if you like. This allows for maximum creative flexibility for all skill levels.
When it's time to create your site's Look & Feel, SBI! provides fully customizable, easy-to-use templates. You can choose and create a professional-looking presentation, even if you have no design skills. And if you're a designer, you can create and upload your own. This page shows a range of styles.
SBI! includes domain name analysis, optimization, and registration. You will develop the best name for maximum profitability in your niche. (It's often different than what you had planned.)
Fast, reliable, state-of-the-Net Web site hosting is all included with SBI!. You don't have to worry about choosing the right "hosting" features (size, capacity, etc.). Web hosting is included, no nonsense, no hidden clauses.
SBI! includes an easy-to-use form builder with autoresponders. You can build contact forms, surveys, and polls to easily communicate with your visitors. You don't need to use your e-mail address, which attracts spam. Experienced users will appreciate no longer needing separate form-building tools. Having these tools all in one place saves time and expense, too.
Automatic site blogging turns your site into a blog easily. You'll enjoy all the benefits of a blog without needing extra skills or additional software. For those experienced with blogging, auto-pinging for your SBI! blog keeps your site on the Search Engines' radar. All of this helps attract more traffic.
SBI! has a no-risk, 30-day money back guarantee. It's a risk-free decision that you can make with confidence and peace of mind.
New tools are added continuously so you can feel secure that you'll always have the most up-to-date site-building and marketing tools.
The SBI! private forums provide friendly, helpful support from other Site Build It! users. Help is available from folks who are in the same place as you. This peer-to-peer support gets you over the humps along the way in a stress-free environment. Help is available even for advanced questions. The forums are a business-building support community ready to help you succeed.
SiteSell.com was established by Dr. Ken Evoy in 1997. His series of books have helped hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs and small businesses. Make Your Content PREsell! and Make Your Words Sell!, formerly books sold by SiteSell, are now free. They are literally the dynamic duo of "Web-writing."
Dr. Evoy realized that the average business person needs more than some information in books, no matter how good. S/he needs both the C

Life certainly does take interesting turns and I am enjoying the ride.
It is very exciting sitting down at my lap top computer anywhere I want. I love it. Did you notice I said my lap top computer? Yes I have a lap top. A few years ago if someone told me I would be doing this today, I would have laughed and said they have rocks in their head but here I am.
If you have knowledge of a particular subject or a passion for something, you can make an income from it online.
I am an ordinary person. There is nothing unique about me except that I decided to do something with my life.
If I can do this, anyone can. I mean anyone! What are you waiting for? Go out and conquer the world.
