Have Your Online Business Up And Running In No Time

by Thomas K. Linden

SBI! makes online business success do-able. Anyone can succeed with an all-in-one process, tools, and guidance.

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 -- pick the most relevant ones for you and your reader.

SBI! removes 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.

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.

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.

You learn to "get it right" quickly (or correct bad habits) so you can focus on other traffic-building strategies. (These are also easily mastered due to "automation-and-process.")

To announce your site to Search Engines, you need to submit a specialized file called a "Sitemap XML" file. SBI! does it all automatically, a huge time saver, that enables you to quickly achieve wider distribution and attract more targeted free traffic.

Search Engine spider/listing/ranking reports let you see how your pages are being handled by the Search Engines. You can see what pages rank best and drive traffic. Each report's insights help you to determine how to increase traffic and monetization. Most pros don't have easy and reliable access to this type of information.

Traffic Stats and Click Analysis help you understand what your visitors like most. Understanding them helps you know what to write about, which in turn leads to more and more business.

SBI! includes Value Exchange (VE) for finding and managing high value inbound links (another criteria for ranking highly at the engines and building traffic). This automated inbound link-building tool saves time for what is otherwise a tedious time-sucker.

List-building and e-mail marketing are included (usually these expensive features are bought separately). Sign up visitors to your e-zine subscription list and then mail an issue to them. This repeat exposure builds a stronger bond with your visitors and allows for direct promotions to them. Deeper PREselling = More Monetization.

PREselling is a concept "invented" by SiteSell, part of the C T P M process. The concept is simple. As small business people, you do not have a brand name that is known and trusted. So you have to build that before you can monetize. Seems obvious, right? So few people do it, or they don't do it right, online.

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.

Blue October's "Approaching Normal"

by Sean R.

Blue October has always been known for their borderline eccentric styles held up by from-the-heart lyrics inspired by the real world experiences of the five piece group's vocalist Justin Furstenfeld. Their 2009 release “Approaching Normal” is no different, taking more points from Foiled and expanding upon their electronically charged arsenal as opposed to the more stripped down songs found in their earlier releases. In fact, it's almost as if that after “Foiled”, they're a new band (which isn't very surprising seeing is that's when they gained most of their national fanbase, which is a shame since I've always preferred their older, more raw material). “Approaching Normal” opens up with Weight Of The World, a song that started as a spoken word poem as featured on “Argue With A Tree”, their live concert release. This version of the song is more polished and musical, though sacrifices some of the emotion in the process, but still conveys it enough to get the point across and set the foundation of the rest of the album. Which follows promptly with Say It and Dirt Room, two of the album's singles and both very reminiscent of Foiled in a way that they could've just as easily been on that album. Been Down follows after, offering a more melodic beat to the listener's ears, complete with Furstenfeld's ability to draw in the listener with widely relatable lyrics and the emotion to accompany it. Which is a rarity in music these days, many bands write depressing music but either lack the emotion to carry it or it seems forced. But this is where Furstenfeld shines, carrying his words elegantly and believably over all the tracks, My Never and Picking Up The Pieces are the album's most notable tracks in my opinion, My Never offering a self-realization with heartbreakingly soft music that adds to the pained whisper that Furstenfeld displays in the track while Picking Up The Pieces is more melodic as it kicks in with a beautiful piano intro that transforms into a drumbeat that seems to mimic an exhausted heart and Furstenfeld deals out a heavy dose of anxiety about well.. how he goes through his daily anxieties. The next three songs cater exclusively to Justin Furstenfeld's daughter, Blue and in turn make the whole album kind of a tribute of it. Which may make the final track (The End) of the explicit version of the album quite surprising, being the band's most dark themed song to date and dealing with the all too real subject matter of a husband murdering his wife and wife's lover after facing a painful separation. Overall, I rate “Approaching Normal” as a must-have for any fan of Blue October's "Foiled" and a high recommendation for fans of their older material as well.
