================================================== If you've been a
subscriber for a while you know that I do NOT inundate
you with e-mails
selling a bunch of stuff. I try to stay very focused on
providing you
with fun, informational e-letters that keep you motivated to
eat the RPDD way
and lose weight. Hopefully, I make you laugh once
or twice.
But today I
became aware of something that I feel I must share with each
of you.
It's an opportunity that I've taken advantage of since 2003, and
one that I
believe every family must now consider, given the economic
upset of
2008. It's not related to losing weight. But it IS
related to
"real" life, so I
figure you might be interested.
This e-mail isn't
short. I'm going to explain why I feel strongly about
sending this
e-mail, and what the opportunity is all about. It's going to
take a few minutes for you to read it, so get a cup of coffee
or water or
whatever you
like--and please keep reading!
=====
I think recent
events have shown that it's clearly time for each of us to
begin building personal financial security. Yes, we
need to be frugal and save. But we also need to look at ways
of generating income that are NOT
dependent on our
jobs!
Let's face
it...none of those income sources are reliable any more.
Companies we
thought would never go out of business collapsed in a
day.
Nothing is sacred. Nothing is a sure thing.
My own husband
suffered a layoff in 2003. It took him 18 months to find
a new
job. We recently learned that many of the top officials in
his former
company were
convicted of fraud (to inflate stock price) and are now in
jail!
Their GREED led to very deep financial difficulties for our family,
and we continue
to recover from the effects of the layoff.
One of the best
things I did in the aftermath of our own personal
disaster was to
start an internet business. I was already doing medical
transcription,
but was limited to working late at night when our young
children were
asleep. I could only make a few hundred dollars a month.
We decided that
we needed income that was passive (not tied directly
to hours
worked). We needed income that was flexible and not dependent
on a boss,
company, any one product, etc. We needed income that I
could generate
from home, since staying home with the kids is something
we value highly
and is in keeping with our own personal goals. Finally, we
needed income
that required very little overhead, no store, no
employees.
You get the picture.
I began surfing
the internet in 2003 for more information on what was
available, and
found a company called Sitesell out of Canada. They had
a product called
"SiteBuildIt!" that was an all-in-one web host, website
builder, and
online business course. They said they would teach me how
to research,
design, build, maintain and market content-based websites
that would result
in growing traffic, growing income and growing financial
independence.
So I downloaded a
free course the company founder, Ken Evoy, wrote.
As I studied, I
was impressed by the company's ethics, attitude, and sense of
community. They DIDN'T say I'd get ri^ch quick.
They DID say building a website business would take dedication
and hard work, like any other endeavor.
SBI! even walked
me through the process of brainstorming topics to build
a website
around. I didn't feel like much of an expert on anything, but
it
turns out we all
have information other people need! Building win-win
situations is
what successful businesses are all about.
Now, 5 years
later, I have three websites with SBI!, and have co-authored
their WAHM
(work-at-ho^me-mom) free guide/course. I have generated
income that
supplements my husband's salary and allows me to stay
with the kids--I
can even homeschool successfully. We can take
vacations, pay for dance class and even buy a few gadgets here
and there. Every year my income grows.
(http://www.RealPeopleDontDiet.com
is an SBI! site, by the way.)
Why am I
bothering to tell you all this? Because until midnight
on
January
5 SBI! is offering anyone the
opportunity to buy one site and
get another for
free! (Hang on, I'll give you their link so you can peek in
just a
minute...) I just got the reminder in my inbox, since I have
a
website with
them, and suddenly started thinking about how many
people's lives
could be changed for the better (just like mine) with an
SBI! site.
(**SPECIAL NOTE: The deadline to the buy-one-get-one special has obviously passed, but SBI! is still a great deal at its everyday price. Don't wait to start working on another stream of income.**) Like I said
before, I just felt very strongly that I should share this,
especially given
the economic climate we currently face.
SBI! is already
an incredible value, so this is really a major event. It's
like
getting a site
50% off. I used this offer to build two websites that are
already earning
me income:
What would you do
with two sites? Build one, then another, to double
your
income. You have 9 months to start the second site.
You could also give the second one away to a friend or relative that feels as strongly about
financial security as you do. Or, buddy up with someone
and build your
sites together. Compete to see who gets the most traffic
first--or the
most revenue. Heck, sell it, if you want. Craigslist.com is
great for that.
You don't need to
know anything about building websites to make this
work. I
didn't back in March of 2003. SBI! teaches you everything you
need to
learn. They have tons of tools and services that most website
owners have to
buy separately (and teach themselves to use). If you ARE
tech-savvy, SBI!
allows you to do all the techy stuff you might enjoy,
including CSS,
shopping carts and blogging software.
SBI! doesn't just
leave you hanging, either. They have biweekly
newsletters that
keep you up-to-date on all things internet, plus very,
very active forums for SBI'ers that are like massive,
totally-free help desks for any possible question you might
have when it comes to websites and
online business.
This is the
"best" way to make money online, from home, that I
have come
across--hands down. Especially for beginners. It
works for
"real" people,
you might say. ;-)
Several colleges
and universities are now using SBI! to teach courses
on web
entrepreneurship, like The Citadel in South Carolina. I've
often
said that what I
learned from SBI! rivalled--if not exceeded--what I
learned during four years of college for a B.S. degree in
Business (ever wonder why it's called a "B.S." degree...?).
I'm sending this
email now so you can think about what I've shared, check
out the links
below, and still have a couple days to think about it. I try
not to rush into decisions and neither should you, especially
where money is involved.
slowly grow an
income source for you and your family.
Please don't
think you can't do this. SBI! has free courses and books that
will teach you
everything you need to know, from writing to building.
Here you go...

Thanks for
reading this far. You can always feel free to
e-mail me at
cate AT
realpeopledontdiet.com if you have any questions about SBI!
or my
sites. I'll do my best to answer as completely as I can.
At the very
least, I hope this e-mail got you thinking. It's no longer
business as usual. It's time to start making changes
when it comes to our money, and definitely time to be more
independent.
I wish you MUCH
prosperity for 2009, as well as good health and
continued weight
loss (of course)!
See you next week
with an article on exercise!
