Background

Distracted by other projects, I've been out of touch with Ken Evoy and his SiteSell team for quite awhile now. But our relationship goes way back, to before the development of Site Build It! -- now called Solo Build It! -- which is an innovative product aimed at budding information entrepreneurs.

I was a Certified marketing and technical coach for Site Build It! at its inception. This very popular self-help package enables people to build online niche businesses through keyword market research, well-planned Web content development, Search Engine Optimization, and online promotion including newsletters, RSS, e-courses, autoresponders, online sales and e-goods, affiliates, blogging, etc.

The Site Build It! concept emerged from Ken's earlier position as a writer and publisher of ebooks about online marketing. I wrote several Web sites directly selling those e-books and online marketing tools for small businesses. These long-copy microsites were similar to long sales letters.

The first of the books was "Make Your Site Sell," a huge (and still largely relevant, even today) guide to building and monetizing a niche site and optimizing it for search engines. It emerged from Ken's previous experience as a stock investor, selling what he had learned about that. In turn, his experience in marketing self-help how-to books to small businesses inspired Ken (by then with a growing SiteSell team) to automate the business-building process. Actually, Site Build It! was never about just building a website. It begins with a business plan, incorporating keyword research software and other market analysis and business plan guidance, so that the site will attract interested visitors and serve a significant market niche.

Since then, the product has morphed to be called "Solo Build It." That's very logical, because in fact it has always been aimed at sole proprietors and home-office entrepreneurs, and it was never just about building a website.

As I said, this part of my portfolio is rather dated, but it should still be of interest. For a look at at how I helped SiteSell and its customers, and a look at the product itself (Site Build It! / Solo Build It!), here are links to some pages. Some are in my old site format (even two generations back!), and some of the links may be outdated, but the ones below all work.

My work for SiteSell itself

A couple decades ago, SiteSell specialized in publishing e-books. To support affiliates, founder Ken Evoy developed a system enabling them to plan and build traffic-worthy websites. The system was such a success that Ken made it available to anyone. I'm proud to say that my copy helped to sell the books online, and to introduce the Site Build It! system. It was, and is, a comprehensive tool for researching, building and e-marketing all kinds of websites.

SBI! Webmaster and Copy Writer for Site Build It! websites

I offered copywriting, editing, technical support and marketing advice on these and other Site Build It! websites for various types of entrepreneurs. The SBI! product, now 15 years later and having morphed into Solo Build It!, is still an all-in-one, step-by-step system of process-and-software to build a thriving online business -- "everything you need to get started and grow."

As I say in this old sales copy of mine, my specialty is Copywriting. Communication. And since the point is to sell, Motivation. As experienced Internet communicators say, "Content is king," so you want it to be right. Although I'm no longer an expert at using what is now called Solo Build It!, I am expert in the marketing and content principles it follows.
