    Site Build It Founder Interview Podcast

    If you're interested in a "quick start" Internet business for making money online, I recommend the affiliate program for Site Build It!.

    Listen to this rare and exclusive podcast interview with Dr. Ken Evoy, the founder of the company, to learn why. 

    I have long recommended Site Build It! as an e-commerce web site solution for solopreneurs and small business owners looking to get their first web site started.  But the Site Build It! affiliate program offers an additional money-making opportunity. 

    Like most affiliate programs, joining SBI's "5 Pillar Club" is fre-e.  And the company offers a huge selection of resources to help you profitably promote its products, both online and off-line.

    WARNING:  I know that this podcast may sound a bit like a commercial for SBI.  I apologize for that.  But their affiliate program really is a good opportunity (I am an affiliate and have personally made thousands of dollars as an SBI affiliate!).  It is the only one like it that I have found.  This interview should help you understand why I recommend it so highly.

    Listen to SiteSell Founder and Chairman, Ken Evoy, and Scott Fox discuss:

    • How a problem-solving approach is the foundation for any online business success

    • Why search drives business success today

    • What you can do on your web site to make monetization easy

    • Why cheap web site hosting deals are no bargain

    • Learn how 62% of Site Build It! web site owners rank in the top 3% of their search results

    Whether you're interested in Site Build It! or not, this interview (and the fr-ee Site Build It! affiliate training) is full of great fre-e ways to learn more about making better money online. 

    If you're interested in learning more about Site Build It!, here are some additional resources:

    • My review of Site Build It! for startups and small business use is here.

    • SiteBuildItAffiliateReview.com: A site where I have posted a bunch of affiliate links and resources about SBI.

The Best Instant Internet Business for You" is my latest Special Report.  It details the affiliate marketing success strategies that help me convert Site Build It purchasers at 20% or greater rates!  This new Special Report is available for purchase here or (heavily discounted!) as part of the the Instant Internet Business Secrets training program for just two more weeks.

    Twitter Marketing - Scott Fox interviews Rich Brooks

    Twitter is a new digital marketing phenomenon! How can your small business use this micro-blogging tool to attract more customers?

    Follow Scott Fox on Twitter You may be one of the millions of people now using Twitter, OR you may be asking yourself "What are you talking about? - What's a "micro-blog" and why should I care about Twitter?"  If that's how you're feeling, you're in the right place!

    Your followers can pick up your broadcast messages on the web at Twitter.com, via various software tools on your PC, or directly to your mobile phone as text messages.  Because Twitter was based on the SMS text messaging format, its messages are limited to only 140 characters each.  (This short message format is why it's called a "micro-blogging" service - it's like sending out really, really short blog posts!)
