The Only Book Of Its Kind Is Now FREE!

There are over 100 books about writing to sell online. There is only one book about writing to communicate... about writing to "PREsell."

PREselling is the critical component in a process that has been proven to succeed by so many thousands of small business people...

Content Traffic PREsell Monetize

There are actually two ways to build a Web site online. The first way (C T P M) is all about "keeping it real." Add to the Web. Write, and write well, about what you know and love. Overdeliver great content to please visitors and make the Search Engines love you at the same time.

Connect with your visitor... and the world is yours. Make Your Content PREsell! ("MYCPS!"), and only MYCPS!, shows you how to do exactly that. Formerly sold separately, or as part of Site Build It!, MYCPS! is now totally free. Why?

The skill set you acquire is too basic, do-able and important not to give it away. Of course, we're hoping you like it so much you decide to try Site Build It! next. That part is up to you, of course. This gift is no strings attached.

The Second Way To Build Traffic Online?...
The "Hot" Way

MYCPS! Book

Start reading now

The "hot" way involves buying (usually at a high price) what the cutting edge boys do to fool Search Engines (SEs) like Google. The problem is that SE-gaming is inevitably discovered and defeated.

As that happens, the cutting edge gamers become promoters and sell what is beginning to fade in effectiveness (no one sells "secrets" that work -- they use them). We've seen it all...

10 years of gaming the engines. From "keyword stuffing" to "doorway pages" to "IP cloaking" to "link manipulation," gaming has gone the tried, worked, sold, and then failed route. And today?

Today's Hyped Trend Is "Hot Niches" And "AdSense Sites"

The promoters of these schemes don't care if anyone knows anything about those "hot niches." Heck, they pay well at AdSense, right?

"All you have to do" is create content through research and regurgitation (adding "pap" to the Web, not value). And then?

Manipulate inbound links through a variety of sophisticated schemes (to raise the rankings beyond their true worth), and make money through Google AdSense. However, the best link-building programs, like content-building, must be real. You must ultimately please the engines -- click here for more information).

Pap For Hot NIches + SE Manipulation = "AdSense Sites"

This process (no-added-value content and SE manipulation) is the complete opposite of C T P M. It is not real. It creates no value. It degrades the quality of the Search Engines' Search Results.

That threatens the core of the engines... quality search results. So thousands of computer science PhDs (working at Google, etc.) will, as has been happening for ten years now, inevitably defeat the tricks. How will these bad sites be defeated? Two ways...

1) Google (and all engines) get continuously smarter. In February, 2005, we released a special report to Site Build It! owners, called "The Tao of SBI!" (right-click to download). It leaked out back then, and flames of wrath emitted from the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) community.

But it was 100% correct. The predictions in that book have been happening and continue to evolve today. The engines are getting smarter, in ways that SEOers can no longer manipulate.

The engines are aware of AdSense Sites. It was even mentioned in a recent cover story in Business Week on click fraud. Google and Yahoo! and the others do NOT want regurgitated pap manipulated to the top through sophisticated gaming.

So those sites will fall in ranking over the coming months. And publicity like this will push the engines to go further to stop artificial, low-value practices...

2) It is only a matter of time before Google massively re-organizes how it deals with all of its publishers, both the "AdSense Sites" and legitimate sites that earn income through AdSense. After all...

It already knows which sites are legitimate, thanks to its search algorithms. When it applies a simple "quality score" to its AdSense publishers, it will...

  • eliminate the truly bad ones ("adios" to domainers and page-spammers)
  • reduce payments to lesser sites ("AdSense Sites" with regurgitated pap)
  • even increase payments to quality sites that overdeliver real content.
You read it here first. It's inevitable.

Bottom Line?

In the end, if you keep it real, if you overdeliver what both humans and engines want, you will succeed today and you will grow tomorrow. Review the long-term evergrowing success stories (complete with regular, real-time updates) of these small business people...

Some use C T P M to earn AdSense income, while others sell medical equipment, rent villas in Tuscany, or double their dental practices in California. And that diversified, mature, real approach to business is critical to your long-term success online, too.

Site Build It! Existed Years Before AdSense

See where the M of C T P M is? Last.

Everyone wants to monetize right away. But C T P comes first.

SBI! owners do not create "AdSense Sites." They build value... for their visitors and the engines first. Then they build value for themselves by blending in monetization as PREsold traffic, grows.

This is real. Achieve that and the engines will know and like you now and forever. That is why SBI! owners last. They grow. You must, of course, be able to master one skill to succeed at the C T P M process...

Write in a way that has a voice, your voice. You must have a Valuable PREselling Proposition (VPP -- covered in MYCPS!). You must connect with your visitor.

And That Is What MYCPS! Will Do For You

The information inside Make Your Content PREsell! is critical to the success of any online business. But no one is showing you how to write to communicate... to connect. Everyone wants to sell you the next great trick, at a high price. Well...

MYCPS! is "the anti-hype." Calmly, it shows you how to write about what you know and love. You will understand how to profit from it fairly, full-value for the money you earn.

Instead of telling you to find the "hottest niches" and write researched, regurgitated pap, it shows you how to write to captivate your reader through C T P M.

Establish your voice, your Valuable PREselling Proposition. Create a site that sparks. Think you cannot do that? Think you cannot write?

Wrong, anyone can. You just need a key to unlock your keyboard. After all, you can talk and communicate in day-to-day-life, right? MYCPS! will unlock your keyboard.

And the lessons are the same, no matter what your small business. If you want to create a pure information site, do it with greatness, like this. Or do you want to sell sell juggling products? No matter why you're online, no matter what your current skills and goals... you need MYCPS!.

WAHM-IT!

WAHM-IT!, The Masters Course

The perfect solution for Work-at-Home Moms (WAHMs)...


Be there for your kids and build a real business, doing something you love.

Click here to download
WAHM-IT!, The Masters Course.


Children change you... your thoughts, your feelings, your relationships, your identity. Family now comes first.

Loving, nurturing, helping, guiding, playing, comforting, organizing, mediating, laughing, managing, healing, giving... you are in constant motion as a stay-at-home mom. And you are loving it!

There is no other place that you would rather be than with your kids. But, at the same time, you would also like/need to contribute financially to the family.

The regular options, though, are not inspiring...

Returning back to an old job or starting a new one outside the home is not the ideal solution (even at part-time status)...

  • The pressures are exhausting... child-care arrangements, schedules, deadlines, clothing requirements, transportation costs, sick days, domestic chores, school events.

  • Quality family time is constantly getting the squeeze.

A weekly pay check hardly seems worth it.

You want to be a "WAHM," a "Work-at-Home Mother/Mom"... but not just any kind of WAHM.

Stuffing envelopes, or doing house parties, or making phone calls, does not appeal to you. How do you find work that "fits" naturally with your family needs and yet is rewarding, exciting and soul-satisfying for you?

You want more out of life, not less,
for your family and for yourself.


Four ordinary WAHMs, three from the United States and one from the UK, are using what they consider the best "work" solution on the Internet...

Each one is building a profitable online business by providing quality information about a subject or theme that she knows and feels passionate about. There are thousands and thousands of people surfing on the Net who want to read about that theme - and spend money on it - now.

These moms follow a common-sense proven process that doesn't require prior experience or technical knowledge to be successful. They guide you through the process in WAHM-IT!, The Masters Course, using easy-to-understand language.

By creating an information-rich Web site that is based on something you know and love, you too can build a real, long-term business...

"It's all very do-able. We know, because that's how we work. Not only do we enjoy the benefits of staying home with our children, but our "beyond mom" needs are fulfilled, too. What could be better than earning money... on our time, doing work we love?"

An online business is affordable, flexible, and convenient. You can work at your Web site and business when you like, at the speed that suits you, and still put the all-important needs of your family first. In other words, you can take your family to work with you!

Learn from the experiences and advice of Elizabeth, Cate, Jennifer and Erin, and several other successful WAHMs, in WAHM-IT!, The Masters Course. They explain things in practical terms. They are busy moms just like you and they know what it's like. They even include organizing tips!

Find out how to use the Net, the right process, and the right tools to achieve the kind of "work payback" that you have been dreaming about...

Be there for your kids, generate long-term income, fuel your own creativity and passion, and of course, have fun!

Netwriting Masters Course

Want to sell more on the Net?


Change the process to change the results!

(Prefer to download & print PDF files? Right-click the above link.)


Want to sell more on the Net? Write better. The power is in your words!

Unfortunately, at least 98% of small business sites start "at the end"... the sale. Great Netwriting is actually far, far more than writing great sales copy.

Before you write to sell, take an order, clear a credit card and ship a product...

You need traffic. PREsold traffic.

And sales copy does not do that.

That is why effective Netwriting is really a two-step process... PREsell, then SELL. And that requires two different kinds of writing...

1) Write to PREsell.

2) Then, and only then, write to SELL.

Now for the good news... you can do this. How? Take he Netwriting Masters Course. It is the only book about Netwriting that covers both PREselling and selling (every other book on Netwriting focuses only on writing to sell -- this itself is a reflection of that "starting-at-the-end" philosophy).

Effective Netwriting (i.e., the kind that generates income) is indeed something that anyone can accomplish. There is nothing magical or complicated about it. And you don't need an English degree or literary genius to do it.

You just need to follow the right process, the correct steps. And that requires you to make the critical offline-to-online business mindshift from "location, location, location" to...

"Information, information, information!"

Surfers on the Net are not looking for you or your business. People search for information, for solutions. So give them what they want. Well before you make your first sale, provide the information (i.e., high value content) that people are searching for, in a way that the Search Engines like. Create content that OVERdelivers what your visitors seek!

Most small businesses fail on the Net because they prepare to sell and collect money, before they have provided what their visitors are searching for... information. These small business owners build a Web site to sell and somehow figure that traffic will just show up and be willing to buy or hire immediately.

Wrong thinking... wrong process... no results! It's like pushing a string. You have to pull instead... pull targeted visitors into your site, PREsell them... then, and only then, sell. Write to deliver what humans want... information. And write for two audiences, the Search Engine spiders and the humans. That's what effective PREselling is all about!

To date, all the attention about writing-for-the-Net focuses on sales copy. Yes, it's important (it can literally triple sales... or destroy all your good efforts if you write terrible sales copy). But sales copy only gets a chance to shine after your PREselling content does its job of building traffic and "warming up" your visitors.

Netwriting Masters Course is the first and only course that shows you how to get the whole process correct...

  1) Create the information that your prospective customers want.

  2) Attract targeted traffic -- win the Search Engine wars!

  3) PREsell your visitors -- build confidence (people buy from those they trust).

  4) Convert traffic to dollars -- sell (whatever that may be... hard goods, e-goods, services, even clicks on Google ads).

Join the "Top 3%" on the Net. PREsell with information-packed content, then sell with benefit-focused sales copy, smoothly converting your visitors into customers. This "1-2" power strategy is the core to building traffic and earning income on the Net.

Right thinking... right process... profitable results!

You can do the same.

Pricing is risky for any business, but it's even more so for the online small business owner. Your anxious-to-please competitor is only a click away...

Are you leaving money on the table?

Or, even worse, is your price turning away potential customers?

How do you know if that new product or service that you are developing (or are planning to sell) has a reasonably-sized, interested target group? In other words, are there enough people who will pay enough money?...
  • If no, you'll never build a profitable income stream.
  • If yes, what's the perfect price that maximizes that stream?

Is your pricing is up-to-date, reflecting current marketing conditions?

How do you know... how do you know for sure... that you have the right price?

Perfect pricing answers all of the above questions. Make Your Price Sell!, The Masters Course provides the information and strategies you need to determine the "Perfect Price."

It's free!

No more guessing or relying on a "gut feeling." No more swirling around a bunch of data and pulling out the magic number. No more nagging uncertainty.

You can now price with confidence and sureness (without hiring an expensive consultant!)...

Make Your Price Sell!, The Masters Course shows you how to maximize profit for both you... and your customers!

Yes, your prospective customers must feel that they will personally profit by buying your product or service. In other words, they must feel that the value you offer equals or exceeds the cost. If they don't, credit cards remain securely tucked away in their wallets.

Bottom line... You must price it right.

With the help of the easy-to-follow Make Your Price Sell!, The Masters Course, you can price successfully and confidently... on your own!

Is there such a thing as a dream business?

  • Do you want to have fun making money by pursuing ideas that excite you?

  • Are you looking to start a great home-based business, with no capital investment and no risk?

  • Want the option of part-time, or full-time, or growing gradually at whatever speed you choose? Even build your business to the point where it pays for your retirement?

  • Or even build your business during your retirement?

  • Heck, how about something that will clear out the attic, basement or closet while you're at it?

Just a fantasy? A few years ago, that might have been the case -- only the "Net-savviest" had a chance. But not anymore.
