    What I understand about Site Build It and How To Start an internet business

     

    The letters C T P M unlock the secrets to Site Build It.

     

    C stands for content.  First one has to brain storm, gather the right data, analyze it with the tools from SBI and make the decision that evidence from the software is going to be most successful.

      B V3 tools help brainstorm one’s initial seed word.  (These tools are concept finders and sequentially filter some of the input to create a selling concept.) These tools involve hosting, domain name videos /instructor/ updating help forums. )  B V3 is a process oriented key word tool.  Site Build It started with seventy modules and B V 3 adds ten modules. This portion of the tools are said to be great money makers.

     

    T stands for Traffic. C-T is the most important part of the SBI program.  Apparently Site Build It helps direct traffic to one’s site based on the integrity of one’s content and meaning real information from the builder and  people who are really interested in the content.  SBI tells one how to optimize the business through a component of its soft ware. One submits the site through a document called a site map xml file.  SBI automatically gets one listed at site engines and turns free traffic into business. SBI reports on how each page ranks for one’s keyword at each engine. If certain pages are not rating well, SBI tells one in simple language what to do to rank it higher. It also tracks spider visits and checks page indexing. The soft ware produces traffic stats to help one see where one ranks and click analysis also. Apparently this part of the soft ware is easy to understand, with a useful functional format. SBI sites are compatible with Google and free Google analytics. 

    Click analysis is unique. Critical information is available and about visitors who click into and out of one’s site, offering vital insight into user behavior and how to increase visitor monetization.  Basically one has to create content that is going to popular with many people and then direct traffic to one’s web site based on common interest.  Directing traffic to the web site is preparation for monetization or pre-sell.

     

    P is pre-sell. This is a period of time in which people come to one’s web site and develop trust and confidence.  One gets targeted because people like you and your content.  Pre-sold traffic is the population that will bring income or monetize one’s web site.  What people are going to like is a professional reliable site.  When one consistently updates their site and presents professional formatting for the content then trust building is enhanced.  The content has to be original and not plagiarized web pages.

     

    Monetization involves an exchange of services and goods for money.  It can be easily done through Pay Pal or Click Bank.

     

    Content 2.0 is the soft ware that resembles Face Book, Twitter, and My Space.  It is interactive and yet the business owner filters the content.  When people are excited by the content they naturally want to contribute and interact with what attracts them.  According to people familiar with its use such interaction contributes several hundreds of pages to one’s web site.  It is at this point that the business is running itself because people of one’s caliber are writing the content.

     

    One does not need to use Ad Sense because the green part of the Google page is going to be where the ratings are and the advertisement of one’s seed words.

     

    I believe that Site Build It helps one brain storm the seed word with a search engine of one’s own or teaches one how to do so with pre existing search engines.  When one sees the number of clicks in the last half hour on a web site one knows how popular one’s idea is going to be.  On the other hand if there are  too high a number of clicks next to the seed word then one has picked a topic that is too general.  So when one uses words that people click on frequently then one can determine how to select words that are going to demonstrate the content in one’s own unique manner. 

     

    I have not tried to do it yet.  I also do not know what interests me other than to get out of my friggin depressive episodes and learn to cope with them and not shape my reality with beliefs that do not improve the quality of life.

     

    One day I tried Google but then looked at the expense and returned the goods and cancelled.  I would like to do a site for people who have given us so much and yet suffered from major depressive disorder.  Van Gogh comes to mind but there are many modern novelists and ordinry people of less fame and misforturne that daily contribute to the quality of our lives that we enjoy and  they remain strangers.

    I would like to use the we are unified with a common cause to accentruate the positive at the same time provide clear links to mood disorders in my research.  I also am a person who will find solutions that have worked for me and countless others to get well and to cope with the rough times.  The first thing that comes to mind is a day of remission is a day that I can tell you that I write a list of everything I like to do as I am free to recall all of it and then suggest you do the same for those times when mood closes the access to our own resources for creating well-being and happiness.

• Grocery Store Labels Human Bei

  • From: EcoScooter
  • Description:

    I was disgusted to walk into a huge grocery store that I shop in almost daily & see a Hearing Impaired kid with an additional LABEL on his name badge! Below his name was a label that says "I AM DEAF" !! That is all wrong in my opinion!! They do not label the mentally challenged individuals there that require a Social Worker to shadow them! Why should he be any different? I'll tell you why! I'm willing to bet there have been too many customers complaining that they were "ignored" by him. I bet they were irate too, when they ASSumed they were being ignored or ASSumed they were not getting good customer service. A perfect solution would be to post a sign at the entry saying "If You Are Hearing Impaired & Require Assistance, We May Have An Employee On Duty That Can Communicate With You"...or something like that. If you label him, why not label people with ethnicity, or gender, etc etc. This topic got a great response on Facebook. Most saw no problem with it. Well, I obviously do not agree. One mentioned that a Target in TX does this labeling as well.

    Workers' Compensation: Injured Workers at Disadvantage

    Nevada's long-troubled workers' compensation system was drastically revised five years ago in hopes of streamlining the process of caring for injured workers. But if you are injured in the workplace now, the private companies that have taken control of the program could leave you without medical care, without compensation, and without a job.

    John Taylor, with the Association of Injured Workers, said, "They stretch it out as long as they can. Taylor speaks from experience when he says the Nevada workers' compensation system delays the claims filed by injured workers. During the years he worked at the Nevada Test Site, Taylor lost an eye, demolished his hearing, and wrecked his back. He's spent the past 13 years fighting the system, which he says was bad when the state ran it and went downhill from there.

    John Taylor said, "Other states, they've privatized. There you can still sue. Nevada is the worst."

    Along with privatizing workers comp, Nevada also exempted insurance companies from legal damages if the companies ignore the law. The worst that could happen to them is they might have to pay out what they should have paid out in the beginning. So, why not deny and delay?

    Dean Hardy, an attorney for injured workers, said, "So there is no incentive to say yes to compensation, or yes to medical care, or yes to a change of doctors. It gives blanket immunity to a third party administrator or insurer for violating the statues they're supposed to be upholding"

    One of Dean Hardy's clients is a firefighter who suffered on the job injuries while fighting the early 80s blazes at the MGM and the Hilton, and other injuries as well. The county doesn't want to pay for hismedical care so the fireman has had to go to court to try and get his medical bills covered. At every step, the deck seems stacked against theinjured worker.

    A 2005 legislative audit found that many workers aren't informed of their rights when injured. If they don't file a claim within seven days, it's too bad and too late. The state's Division of Industrial Relations is supposed to oversee the private insurers, but the audit found in more than half of the cases, the D.I.R. failed to force insurers to meet the statutory deadlines in handling claims and were lax in fining employers who had it coming.

    Aubrey Goldberg, an attorney for injured workers, says the state seems to have little appetite for sanctioning companies that break the rules. "I find it's hard to get them to do those things most of the time. Is it much zeal? My personal view is no, there isn't."

    Worst of all for the injured worker, Goldberg says, is the move to managed care programs. A worker injured on the job will be sent to a doctor or clinic that essentially works for the insurance company. "Their primary loyalty is to the people who are paying them and not to the injured worker," Goldberg added.

    Dean Hardy says doctors have been known to reverse findings favoring the injured worker after being contacted privately by the insurers. "The doctors recognize what keeps them on the panel -- opinions that do not favor theinjured worker. Oftentimes those opinions aren't medically supportable, and that's really tragic. They will taint medical opinion and try to tailor it for the employer or insurer... I do see it happen."

    Those doctors who do the right thing get fired, Hardy says. Workers who try to appeal bad rulings in hearings often find themselves up against lawyers or other experts hired by the other side.

    Kelly Oakley, who demolished his back working at McCarran Airport, was terminated for medical reasons. A hearing officer was sympathetic but ruled for the other side. Oakley said, "Workers' comp? It's maybe one step above welfare, if that. They treat you like you're on welfare."

    Officials at the Nevada Division of Industrial Relations, which is supposed to oversee the privatized workers' compensation program, declined repeated requests by the I-Team for on camera interviews. However, they told us off-camera that injured workers are often at a disadvantage, especially if they have to fight for their claims without legal representation.

    Eyewitness News plans to keep an eye on the workers' compensation story in the months ahead.

    Worker’s Comp System Severly Abuses Disabled Man

    An earlier post from this blog annotates the woeful and absolute outrageous treatment being heaped upon one of our members, Ron Markowicz, by the Worker’s Comp System, including his own attorney, whose firm appeared to be in collusion with the Insurance Carriers by ceasing all pertinent services to his case apparently driven by fear of potential corporate harm through future litigation.  No medical help for months.  No answers from the attorney—-only mis-statements.  No help anywhere.

    As a former vocational counselor, I have seen this type behavior before—and it generally stems from a surgical mistake, then when aninjured worker continues to complain, the first thought emanating from the Carriers, attorneys, et. al  is:

    ‘Stop the services!  Send out false information to the worker!  Make outrageous claims that the worker is not complying with the various service providers! Cover your ass!’

    And ad naeuseum….the spin merchants, coupled with loss prevention departments of these huge insurance conglomerates begin to work their magic—–here’s what they do to a lot of people who might have a legitimate complaint:  they simply stop sending their monthly check.  No explanation.  Can you imagine the panic?

    As it is, you are lucky if you receive two thirds of your normal salary while on the Comp System—and now, suddenly,  you have no money to pay for anything!  Most of the times, they will re-start the financial benefits, but not before causing theinjured person to suffer further through stress by making them late for credit card or rent payments.   Add to it a nightmarish quality– I have personally heardinsurance company rehab co-ordinators,  while at industry ‘functions’, exclaim great humor at how many  people they ‘put the screws to’ that week.

    Folks, this stuff is industry wide, and it sickens me to watch it continue.  This should be considered health care reform, too, and the political writers seem to simply ignore the horrendous level of abuse perpetrated by the ‘business’ side of this system, while the person who is already hurt and suffering, suffers further at the hands of those who should be honestly assisting them to achieve their best level of  gainful re-entry to the work world. (or determine that will never be possible)

    It should be obvious to all that creating an adversarial system, instead of a truly philanthropic, medically progressive streamlined system, the worst of all possibilities occur, where delays are normal, and communication among the providers is poor, at best.  Built for failure.

    And, as all our members know, the Social Security Disability system certainly seems bad enough— difficult and hurtful at many turns.

    At this writing, there over a million cases which are officially ‘backlogged’ in the Social Security Disability system.  Unless you take the  free course offered here at the Disability Digest, you can easily wait three full years before receiving benefits. (and that’s if you’re not backlogged)  Three years!  No excuse can be offered which might even approach credibility.

    But the Worker’s Comp System—-if anything can be more problematic than Social Security Disability, it’s this damnable system in which Ron Markowicz continues to suffer.  But, some progress had been made.  There may be a ray of sunshine.

    While I cannot comment on case specifics,  I can say that some advancement is being made on the medical side, as Ron’s original physician is only now re-activating his services to him, but still faces an uphill battle against a  stone-walling industry.

    Also, due to many different and serious inquires to the Nevada Governor’s Office, there has been progress toward publicizing Ron’s case fully, exposing it for the utter disgrace it remains.  As it may involve the National media, his case could be re-opened, and the proper medical procedures enacted post haste.  These major corporations do not appreciate black marks against them, as stockholders are already nervous these days.

    So, with enough pressure, Ron would immediately receive the attention he needs, and in the proper order,  which is vital in his case.

    He is truly disabled, suffering the results of several breaks in his back from a serious fall while at work, then surgical mis-feasance resulting in pieces of metal floating in his back, now invading the surrounding soft tissue, creating intractable pain.

    The link to the initial information in this case is a fairly long read, including my post describing the Worker’s Comp System, and the specific details of his case—then, a page of a well kept medical file which further elucidates Ron’s situation.  Again, if any readers have a golden rolodex, please forward this appropriately.

    http://www.thedisabilitydigest.com/blog/235/missing-in-action-justice-for-disabled-injured-worker/

    We continue to press our efforts towards resolving this unsettling dilemma, as justice should have it.  The overarching reality is: Ron’s case could be your own.  He did not violate any ‘rules’ and was always forthcoming with his medical providers and insurance carrier.  That was pre-surgery.

    Today is a different story.

    Best to all involved,

    Advocate

    NOBODY IN LAS VEGAS WANTS TO INVESTIGATE THE WORKER'S COMP SYSTEM...WHAT IS THE PROBLEM???

    After reading about the terrible state of affairs happening in Las Vegas with their Worker's Comp system and reading Workcomp1 (Ron Markowicz's) blog and the tragic circumstances he has been put through by the system, I felt I needed to blog once again about his story and the LACK of effort on the part of investigative journalists not only in Las Vegas, but also in the National Media.  I just can't understand why Ron's story has NOT been reported on by any journalist, as this is certainly NEWSWORTHY and would more than likely win a pulitzer prize for the journalist that writes/reports the piece.  After reading the story written by George Knapp, which references a lot of the problems Ron has faced in the worker's comp system in Nevada, I am hopeful that Mr. Knapp will report on Ron's case specifically as the groundwork has already been laid and Ron's story will force the Nevadaworker's comp system to be overhauled and changed for the better. 

    And as in George Knapp's article which you can view at the end of this blog:                                                                           

    I live in California and have been through the Worker's Comp system here and found it to be pretty well managed.  Of course, I did not go through any of the problems Mr. Markowicz has faced, but at least I received medical treatments, was compensated in a timely manner, was able to use the Independent Medical Review (to have a State certified Doctor) review my case and see if he found the same disability rating as my treating specialist (as the Insurance Company was trying to settle the claim for a very small amount & I did not agree with that rating). 

    As with many people here on The Disability Digest, these injustices CANNOT be allowed to continue and the community has to stand up and make a stand against the companies, attorneys, insurance companies, medical practitioners that mis-treat them.  You would hope there would be some legal remedy, but in Ron's case it seems that his attorney (that he recently fired was asleep at the wheel)--malpractice, the one surgeon that removed the stimulator device from his back and left metal in his back--(malpractice)...There has been ONE shining light in Ron's story..His first Doctor who has been trying to help Ron get the treatment he needs, yet this Doctor has not been paid by theWorker's Comp system.  Sometimes it can take 1 year or more for these Doctors to get paid by this system.  What a travesty of justice NV has.  Ron's Doctor's name is Dr. Daniel Fabito and should be highly commended and applauded for his efforts and his highly ethical treatment of Ron's case.  This is amedical practitioner that more should try to be like as he has the care and well being of his patient in mind and he goes to great lengths to fight the good fight on the patient's behalf.  I would recommend that anybody that gets injured on the job would go to this Doctor because he truly cares about his patients.  Keep this Doctor in mind if you ever get injured while working inLas Vegas.  Here's the Doctor's info:

    I had started a webpage to showcase the work we had done before both of us became disabled (rescue farm animals).  That site is http://thepeasantscottage.com  it also is to showcase my husband's many writings and it is a work in progress.  But my skills at development are nil at best.  I was a programmer analyst and the positions I held before my disability did not allow for web design or development.  Plus I have not the funds to get the tools needed that this site requires.  I so wanted to get this done as my husband is a critically ill cardiac patient and his time is limited.  I fear my lack of resources and skills won't get this done.  As well there is this same domain, plus a .org, but I have not used it because we have not sent in the paperwork for the non-profit.  The hope was to solicit help with the animals we have left.  I gave up that hope when I realized people in this community don't want to help us at all.  When we were in such dire need before my case was settled, people would donate hay and feed - supposedly out of the goodness of their hearts.  But I have found out from several sources that all that came with judgemental strings.  We have let go of many animals, but the ones left were those no one stepped up to give homes to.  People were quick to dump off those they did not want on us, but come time we needed help to find homes for some, there was no one to help.  Worse, we now hear people say that 'if they didn't have animals, they might have something!'  that was heartbreaking to both of us.  they do not know what we have been through  my husband's heart attack that nearly killed him and then my disability that cost me my career.  it seems the only way to supplement our small limited income is by a website, but i have no idea where to begin and cannot afford these scam outfits that promise income and only take your money.  we are so disheartened by what some in this community have said about us (I have worked since I was 12, played by the rules, and my husband has given the shirt off his back).  But this hurt is so great, I am taking down this web site.  It features our home, his writings and our animals.  There was another I wanted to start:  thyhealingheart.com (and .org), but so far it is just a domain name and nothing else.  I am out of ideas.  I certainly cannot have a site asking for donations.  So I need something else to generate income and an income that is NOT dependent on the people around this area.  We need help.  I have the computer skills and equipment, but that is all.  I have not checked out Site Build it, but I am sure with my experience I can soon put it to good use.  But trying this website on our own has been So depressing and I am one of those left without insurance, so I deal with my illness as I can until Medicare kicks in next March.  This is TMI, I know and I do not even know if this is what you wanted as a description.  But here it is.

    Hello my name is Dora Jackson and I am new to this so please bear with me.  To make a long story short I have a disability and unable to do what I enjoyed doing for fifteen years, I love working with the public, I love to talk to them and offer my assistance in any way I could.  I was diagnosis in 2005 with copd and was told that I would die in ten years, recover from the shock I prayed a lot and I was determine not to let this get me down.  I exercise everyday and walked every morning trying to get my life back to something normal, but in the mean time I have looked in every corner to try and find something to do with my computer that's going to supplement my income, everybody I talk to wanted money that I didn't have, so I knew in my heart where there is a will there is a way.  I am living proof of that because I am still here, broke but living just the same.  My parents always told nobody want's you when you are down and out (True statement) I must tell you from my heart I have never been this broke before I lost a lot my car, my relationship but that's okay all of this has restored my faith in god so here I go day and night surfing the net.  I came upon disability digest not knowing what it was are how I got there mind you I learned the computer on my own by pushing buttons and if it workd okay if not  don't do that again, but okay never the less here I am desperate to find something or someone to tell me how to go about making money because I am sinking fast I have no car, no money, and no job trying to stay a float and can't swim.  So far days I listen to videos and read everything known to man, and then they tell me to do some research on a sight call sight build it .  I spent half the night reading and listening to different stories, I am not really familiar with then but I know they can help me build a web sight that's going to help me reach millions of pople who need help.There are a lot of people out there with a disability that need help and don't know where to find it I want to be that mouth piece.  I have waited so long for this opportunity it will allow work at home and help myslef and other's.  There are a lot of scams  you have to be really careful, I think I found them all where you send money and they send you a book are a cd, didn't have the money for that but I tried a few of them and it was to good to be true.  I need money to take care of myself but my goal is to help other's in my situation.  I would like to thank Brian for returning my email with and offer to help me help myself, I didn't get very much of that, I would like to thank Eddy for his web sight for some great information (HOW TO AVOID SCAMS). The lord left me here for a reason and I plan to do everything I can to help put a smile on someone's face.  This is my story I will never give up until I have my own business.  I don't want people to have to search the internet day and night .  I want a web sight that allows people to find what they need and not have to listen to a long drawn out presentation before you find out that they can't help you.  This has been a long road to walk for me and I am ever so greatful I wouldn't change a thing.  This is what I am surpose to do .   (I AM A PEOPLE PERSON)

• Addendum To My Contest Entry

    My view and thoughts about using SBI to help my family and I live more comfortable lives. In researching SBI Company, I found it to be the “BEST” tool to use. I came to the understanding that juast about anyone can use the tools with little or no computer skills. If you have the skills then that makes it even better. I found there are many web hosting companies that charge as little as $7.95 a month fee up to and over $99.99. Those companies may do a good job to fit most of your needs, but with SBI, a person can customize their own website to fit their exact needs. It doesn’t stop there. SBI offers all the tools to research ideas of what type of business you want (Content). Once you choose, use the tools to create your own web design. SBI makes it easy step by step process to do just that. Next, (Traffic) SBI makes it easy to traffic your site so you can enable the world to search and see your site through search engines. Search engines are what people use to find what they are looking for, Google, Bing, Ask, Yahoo, MSN, are just some of the most popular search engines. Now, (Pre-Sell) is how you develop customers trust in your product or service so that they want to buy from your web business you built yourself using SBI. Finally, (Monetize) Once you have built your own “Presold” traffic, you can blend in multiple streams of revenue. This is what SBI teaches, and guarantees success using the C.T.P.M Motor.

    I know that using SBI will allow me to achieve my goals and make my life easier and better. With the help of Brian Therrien, Michelle Toole, The Disability Digest, I have obtained my desires and motivation to start my own successful online business. Thank You Brian, Michelle, and The Disability Digest.

    My conclusion about SBI is that:

    SBI

    is the best all-in-one site-building-hosting-and-marketing system in the world! I highly recommend everyone to use SBI to make life easier and better for all……….

• My Contest Entry

  • From: venomking420
  • Description:

    I am a 41 year old legally blind , diabetic father of two young and two adult children. I have been legally blind and received Social Security Disability since 1995. I have been living paycheck to paycheck since then. We have somehow managed every month to pull through. I am tired but I REFUSE to give up for the love of my family.

    I have much computer skills and were all self taught. I love computers and will continue using them til the day I die.

    Here’s My Story:

    One night I dreamt that my family and I were walking on the beach and in the distance, my youngest daughter finds a magic lamp (this lamp I call, The Disability Digest) My youngest son tells me to rub the lamp and make 3 wishes. The skeptical person that I am, I did it anyway. Low and behold, A Genie pops out of the lamp (the Genie is Brian Therrien). He grants me 3 wishes.

    I first wish for $$$$ MONEY. The Genie tells me he can grant me this wish but I have to work for the money. So he directed me to use my computer skills to become an affiliate for The Disability Digest. I listened to his training videos and joined in his webinars and became an affiliate. I sent emails to friends and family and the next day, I started receiving commissions. I started to think of my second wish.

    My next wish was to be able to create a steady income and still spend time with my family. The Genie granted me my wish but in order to achieve my wish I had to check my email. I did this and the first email I opened was a very promising contest from The Disability Digest. The winner of the contest would receive a one year membership to SBI. I researched the SBI company and found that it would be perfect for me to create and start my own internet business. With the help of SBI’s membership and all the easy to follow tools, I had everything I need to have a very successful e-business. So I entered the contest and thought about my final wish.

    My third and final wish is to be a winner of the contest so I can start showing my family how to be successful in anything they choose to do in their lives if they put their minds and abilities to it. The Genie’s voicemail came on and said he would be out of town until December 2^nd. He also stated that he would possibly announce me as one of the four winners of the contest. So, Do You believe in Genies and Magic Lamps? I DO!!!

    Winning this contest WILL get me back on my feet to create a steady income supplement. I do have high hopes and dreams to make enough money for my family to live comfortably so that I do not have to be on disability for the rest of my life. All I need is to be a winner of this contest because living check to check does not get my foot in the door to all our hopes and dreams. Someone once told me…….

    “YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE UNIVERSE, LET IT SHINE!!!”
