    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.

• Addendum To My Contest Entry

  • From: venomking420
  • Description:

    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……….

• Necessary Steps Before You Tak

  • From: gottitravel
  • Description:

    

    

    There are many things you can do to avoid stress that comes when planning or preparing for a trip. I will provide you with details on things you can do to have a stress free trip.

    Plan Your Trip Early: If possible, plan your trip at least one to two months before your departure. This will give you the necessary time needed to make sure everything needed is in place.

     

     

    Items To Consider Before Your Trip:

    - Determine your travel budget
    - Select the days you will travel and your destination
    - Will you need a rental car and/or hotel once you get to your travel destination?
    - Determine the number of people that will take the trip with you
    - Determine any special activities you would like to do during your trip
    - Gather all necessary paperwork and bring to the airport with you(e-tickets, paper tickets, etc)
    - Is there any special needs required for those traveling? If so, identify them
    - How many bags will you need to check at the airport?(airlines now charge fees beyond your first bag)
    - How will you book your trip?(internet, directly with airline, travel agent)
    - Where will you stay once you arrive at your travel destination?(if hotel, make reservations ahead of time)
    - If necessary, identify someone to pick up mail, newspaper, advertisements, etc while your away from home
    - Determine how you will get to the airport(drive, taxi, shuttle bus, have someone drop you off, etc)
    - Have enough cash with you for tipping and other expenses
    - Research airline rules before you travel. Rules continually change. Knowing the rules will save you time and headache

    Steps To Take Once You Arrive At the Airport:

    - If you drive to the airport, find short/long term parking (some airports have covered shelter)

    - Complete curb check-in with the appropriate airline

    - Some airlines allow you to check your bags at the curb, some do not. For the ones that do not, you can go inside to the airline and do self check-in of your bags. There is a kiosk where you enter your information, including the number of bags. A slip will print and you will provide it to the airline agent. The airline agent will then check in your bags. Once you are all checked in, head to the security area of the airport. You have researched the rules ahead of time, so it should not be an issue getting through security. *Please Note - You will be required to take off your socks and shoes.

    - Once through security, find your airline. You can also find eateries and gift shops if you have time on your hands. Just remember that planning and preparing ahead of time for your trip is key. This will definitely cut down on the amount of stress that you experience before, during and after your trip. Happy Traveling!

• Ablevision

  • From: Cheri
  • Description:

    Hello All,

    I have just heard about www.Ablevision.org and wondered if any of you have heard about this. It is a television show run by disabled people, with the help of experienced tv people. It sounds wonderful. Each person is shown how to do one of the jobs, with the disability that they have. It is advertised as the only media out there for the disabled, that gives them a way to work and have integrity. They do the interviews, run the cameras, do the audio, everything! I think this is great. It focuses on what a person CAN do, without any hint of pity or "special" titles. Check it out. There is a video on this, on the home page of msn.com newspage today, if you have access to that.

    I hope this helps someone.

• Nevada Worker Compensation Sys

  • From: workcomp1
  • Description:

    
    By BRENDAN RILEY Associated Press Writer
    March 18, 2009

    CARSON CITY, Nev.- Lawmakers were told Wednesday that the state's Workers' Compensation system makes it tough on injured Nevadans to get the medical care and follow-up rehabilitation and training they need to return to their jobs.

    The injured workers' testimony during the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee hearing shows the need for reforms, state AFL-CIO chief Danny Thompson said, adding that state law prevents workers from suing but requires them to prove they were hurt on the job.

    Byron Harvey of Henderson told the legislators that he suffered a severe back injury while lifting some sheet metal but it took more than six months to get his claim for compensation accepted, and he went through 2 1/2 years of treatment.

    "The whole time I felt there was an overriding attitude by workers comp doctors and personnel that I was not injured," Harvey said. "All I really wanted to do was go back to work."

    Harvey said he lost everything in the process, but was finally able to return to work as a business representative for the sheet metal workers' union and now helps other workers navigate the state's worker compensation system.

    Asked by Commerce and Labor Chairwoman Maggie Carlton, D-Las Vegas, to describe typical situations faced by injured workers, Harvey said, "Usually it reverts back to getting a lawyer. Some people have the means to do it. It's tough for guys who are struggling in the times we have now. ... It's a rough road."

    Curt Garrett told legislators he was hit by a forklift while on the job in July 2005, and was at first told he only needed physical therapy and could return to work. After several weeks, he said he wound up in a hospital where an X-ray showed his back was broken.

    After eight months, Garrett said he had back surgery and then went through rehabilitation and training, adding, "On a scale of one to 10 I would barely give it a two, if it was that."

    Garrett said he took community college classes in Carson City that helped him to return to work, and could have been on the job sooner if the state would have given him better help on filling out job applications.

    The worker compensation process "is incredibly broken," Garrett said, adding that he hoped that the testimony from him and other injured workers would prompt lawmakers to improve the system.

     

     

    The Workers Compensation Injured Workers Bill of Rights

    Injured workers have experienced in the last several years a massive effort to limit workers compensation benefits. This has directly harmed decent hard working people and their families. Improper medical care and attention, and the reduction of benefits have resulted in poverty, depression, and second class status for those whose only crime is that they were injured on the job. It is a national shame and there are countless personal and family tragedies from such unfair treatment. We invite you to search for the real truth and to demand that all those legitimately injured be treated with respect and dignity. We may be your father or your mother, your sister or brother or just a friend or neighbor. But we are injured...we do not want a windfall we just want justice. We invite all who are interested to join our efforts. We have compiled what we believe to be the basic rights all injured workers should be entitled to as human beings. We present them for your consideration:

    1. An injured worker shall have the right to select his own physician or at a minimum to be able to switch to a doctor of his choice after 30 days of treatment.

    2. An injured worker shall have the right to a prompt hearing on any dispute, within 90 days of a request. Additionally in emergency medical or financial situations there should be a right to a hearing within 30 days to issue provisional orders on such emergency matters.

    3. An injured worker shall have the right to have considered in his disability his loss of earning capacity along with any physical or mental impairment.

    4. An injured worker unable to return to his trade or occupation as a result of a work injury shall have the right to an independent vocational assessment and to vocational rehabilitation if reasonably appropriate, with the goal being a return to the highest earning capacity possible within a reasonable time frame. Vocational rehabilitation benefits shall be at the same rate as temporary disability benefits.

    5. An injured worker shall have the right to an impairment rating and disability determination which assesses chronic pain and depression along with any physical impairment. And if work related activities contribute to, result in or aggravate pain, limitation or impairment the claim shall be compensated.

    6. An injured worker unable to return to substantial gainful work shall be entitled to permanent total disability benefits for as long as the disability continues.

    7. An injured worker shall have the right to a non-party independent medical exam, paid by the insurer if there is a question concerning the treatment or opinions of the treating provider. All partisan IME's are to be banned.

    8. An injured worker shall have the right to benefits based on his true take home pay including overall wage benefits and to permanent disability benefits based upon his disability not simply impairment.

    9. An injured worker shall have the right to a second opinion, paid by the insurer, with a doctor of his choice, if surgery is being recommended. Any surgery can be declined without adverse consequences.

    10. An injured worker shall be treated with dignity and respect by those within the wc system, to include doctors, nurses, adjusters, attorneys and judges..to the extent that the first priority and loyalty shall be to recovery and fundamental fairness. If not, substantial penalties should be imposed.

    11. The physician treating the injured worker shall have the presumptive right to order any diagnostic tests or evaluations. The presumption can only be overcome by clear and convincing evidence which must be furnished within 20 days of any denial.

    12. An injured worker shall have the right to all legal entitlements for his disability without offsets.

    13. An injured worker shall have the right to realistic cost of living increases in his benefits and to have those benefits pass to his dependents upon his death.

    14. An injured worker shall have the right as the ultimate consumer of medical services to be informed of the doctors education, experience and contractual arrangements with insurers when treatment commences. Additionally, the state shall monitor all doctors and maintain a record of complaints by injured workers concerning doctors which can lead to removal of the doctor from the ability to treat such workers for numerous or major complaints.

    15. An injured worker shall have the right to privacy of his medical records. They are to be sealed and otherwise nondisclosable except as concerns claims by the worker , for statistical purposes only or to permit an accommodation in employment.

    The Workers Compensation Injured Workers Bill of Rights was developed by members of the Injured Worker's of America (IWA), a division of The MedaKate Organization, November 22, 1998. This group includes Injured Workers, Physicians, Attorneys, and Registered Nurses. Please print them out and give them to your Physician, Attorney, Unions, Medical Facilities, Therapist, and the General Public.

    http://www.workerscompensationinsurance.com/articles/billofrights.htm

     

    After reading this Bill of Rights which is attended for Injured Workers then read the the post below which the Bill of Rights is not being up help in my case in any fairness to the injured worker at all for the past year.

    The Digest has gone above and beyond for my cause and with the support from it's members educating eachother and knowing that in NV this is really happening with no one coming forth and saying this is wrong!

     

    HERE ARE THE LAWS STRAIGHT OUT OF NV STATE REGARDING MEDICAL TREATMENT & WHAT I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING FOR OVER A YEAR OF EVERY LAW BROKEN AS WELL AS STATUTES.

     http://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-616B.html

          (b) Provides to injured employees an adequate choice of providers of health care who have contracted with the organization to participate in the proposed plan; and

          (c) Provides appropriate financial incentives to reduce costs of medical and health care services without affecting the quality of any care provided to an injured employee.

          2.  The Division may adopt regulations to ensure the adequacy of an insurer’s panel of providers of health care established pursuant to subsection 1.

          (Added to NRS by 2003, 1669)

     

      NRS 616B.528  Restriction of or interference with communication between provider of health care and injured employee prohibited.  An organization for managed care shall not restrict or interfere with any communication between a provider of health care and an injured employee regarding any information that the provider of health care determines is relevant to the health care of the injured employee.

    with, demote, refuse to contract with or refuse to compensate a provider of health care solely because the provider, in good faith:

          1.  Advocates in private or in public on behalf of an injured employee;

          2.  Assists an injured employee in seeking reconsideration of a determination by the organization for managed care to deny coverage for a medical or health care service; or

          (Added to NRS by 1999, 2213)

     

    NRS 616B.528  Restriction of or interference with communication between provider of health care and injured employee prohibited.

    1.  An insurer, organization for managed care or third-party administrator shall respond to a written request for prior authorization for:

          (a) Treatment;

          (b) Diagnostic testing; or

          (c) Consultation,

    Ê within 5 working days after receiving the written request.

          2.  If the insurer, organization for managed care or third-party administrator fails to respond to such a request within 5 working days, authorization shall be deemed to be given. The insurer, organization for managed care or third-party administrator may subsequently deny authorization.

          3.  If the insurer, organization for managed care or third-party administrator subsequently denies a request for authorization submitted by a provider of health care for additional visits or treatments, it shall pay for the additional visits or treatments actually provided to the injured employee, up to the number of treatments for which payment is requested by the provider of health care before the denial of authorization is received by the provider.

          (Added to NRS by 1999, 2214)

     

    PLEASE EVERYONE READ THE ARTICLE FROM JOHN FROM POSTED MY SITUATION LAST MONTH AND AS OF TODAY I AM STILL NOT GETTING ANY OF THESE LAWS UP HELD IN ANY SENSE OF URGENCY.

    EVEN INSIDE 222 BLOG ABOUT THE BROKEN SYSTEM HAS NOT YET HAD ANY ONE FROM THE MEDIA COME FORTH AND CALL HIM BACK.

     

    An earlier post from this blog annotates the woeful and absolute outrageous treatment being heaped upon one of our members, Ron 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 rehabilitation counselor, I have seen this type behavior before-and it generally stems from a surgical mistake, then when an injured 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 the injured 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 heard insurance 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. I have included the link in the resource box.

    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,

    Update: as of this writing, Ron has terminated the services of his attorney, and suddenly, approval has been granted for an' emergency injection', treatment which has been withheld for the past four months. Real medical treatment necessary for his survival. Great news!

    John Woodworth is the editor of the Disability Digest, a 50,000 member strong advocacy organization. The Disability Digest is managed by disabled individuals from a variety of professions. Mr. Woodworth has been a business owner and consultant, a vocational rehabilitation and psychiatric counselor, and an innovative business marketing specialist. He has spent the last eight years researching medical issues and legitimate work at home programs.

    Disability Digest owner Brian Therrien has recently added an entire section for Veteran's help, as many medical and social services are due these individuals, with a lot of help necessary to deliver them. His free course is effective in maximizing the returning veteran's benefits, and providing updated government policies.

    Regarding Social Security Disability, Brian literally wrote the book on minimizing time to qualify for, and obtain deserved benefits. His free, 11 part email course has helped literally thousands of disabled folks cut the wait time by at least half, sometimes helping to obtain benefits in a few months. Currently, one can expect to wait up to three years to obtain benefits, and additionally, there is a one million application backlog in the Social Security Disability system as of early 2009.

• Doing A Lot of Nothing (Poem)

  • From: chrisym
  • Description:

    Doing Alot of Nothing

    Do you ever look out your window
    And realize your beautiful rainbow
    Colors in your life you suddenly recognize
    I did today, and found myself hiding in disguise
    
    I talk about my sincere desire to overcome this strife
    And how this battle will not be my life
    I can take it like Lance Armstrong
    But in the end, I'm Doing A Lot of Nothing
    
    Doing A Lot of Nothing
    It really hits home
    No more blaming anyone or any thing
    It's like my mirror is now turned On
    
    The colors finally shine when the mirror can collect
    All that which we have chosen to forget
    So many lessons I've sought & gained insight
    But changing myself, I truly did not fight
    
    Today, at this moment I must Do
    Just Thinking after a while turns into Nothing
    Life requires purpose carried out
    Otherwise you are doing a lot of nothing
    
    Every morning when you wake up
    Before or during your morning coffee cup
    Make at least one goal and Do that one thing
    You will begin to feel your rainbow instead of nothing
