My secret
about Paris ...
and why I made
this website
Part of my secret about Paris
is that I love it.
There - I've said it out loud.
I LOVE PARIS!!
I visited Paris many years ago
and was so so lucky to be able to live there for several years and fall
in love with her totally.
I've gone back to visit many
times, the most recent was for the month
of June 2007, and I caught up with old friends, made some new ones, and
explored lots of new areas. There's ALWAYS something to explore in
Paris!
Just before my last trip, I
started to gather tons of notes about
things I wanted to do, and I thought it would be a great idea to put
all my info into a website so I could share it - for free - with lots
of other people. I find something new to love about Paris on every
trip, and this last one was no exception.
On that trip I decided to
spend June in Paris every year [not too hot] and pop back whenever
possible. I even decided to incorporate one of my other
passions - teaching
silk painting classes - in Paris. And to
have this website bring in some income to help finance my other
passions ...
Have
you guessed my other passions?
I love to travel
... I love foreign cultures, I love meeting new people and being
adventurous and learning to survive in other places.
It all started when I first
left Australia. I was recently divorced and
uncertain as to how my life would unfold ... little did I know what the
Universe had in store for me!
I put my life in storage and
took off for 6 weeks to the USA [I was
living in Australia at the time]. From one day to the next I never knew
what was going to happen, I let life 'happen' to me, I was open to new
experiences and opportunities, and have to say that when I returned to
Australia SEVEN YEARS LATER, I felt pretty good [that's right - I was
gone for 7 years!]. I'd gone from a really nervous first-time flyer, to
a world traveller with amazing stories to tell.
I'd
lived in and travelled to New Zealand, Alaska, USA, Mauritius, France,
Canada, Germany, Austria, Singapore, Spain, Italy, Bali, Hong Kong,
Greece, Switzerland, Haiti, Aruba, Curacao ... just to name a few
places :-)
I've been writing a newsletter
for friends for years, called TROPICAL
TRASH, with updates on my travels and adventures as they happen, and
over the past few years many friends suggested I turn this into a
website or a blog. I didn't take their advice - then - and continued to
travel and revisit friends I'd made overseas.
In the meantime I followed one
of my other passions ...
I started a
business to help small businesses get online by providing internet
hosting, domain names and website solutions. I love helping
people succeed,
and I enjoyed working from home; every now and then I'd be offered a
Contract to work with a client for a few weeks or months, and I liked
the change, interacting with others in the workplace. It was those
times that reminded me of my dream ... to be able to travel and have
enough money to do so without needing to be paid by the hour.
I was always scanning the
internet looking for solutions for my
clients, and secretly looking for a solution to make my own dreams come
true. Helping people, being able to travel whenever I wanted, and to
have a regular income via the internet
... these were all part of my dream.
My Secret about Paris
I'd been reading about a
website development system for about five
years, and I'd researched
the successes his customers were having, but was never quite ready to
try it out for myself.
In March 2007 I decided to
investigate further, and everything I read
about this company instilled such a sense of confidence in me about the
system, that I decided to give it a go.
I created the first 'live'
webpage of this very website on 8th April,
and within a week I started to get targetted traffic - I was amazed!
[Targetted traffic is when people visit your site who've actually
searched for words and content which appear on your pages, rather than
finding your website by mistake.]
I've built many other websites
over the past 15 years, but had never
seen results so quickly. I was following the Action Guide step-by-step,
as instructed, and put aside all my 'old' knowledge of how to build
sites. I stuck to the instructions carefully, deciding it was best to
give these new techniques a chance, and see where it led.
Well here we are, a few short
months later, and even though I was overseas for a month and didn't
touch my site, my traffic has increased and I'm
thrilled. Now I'm getting regular traffic each day
which includes plenty of unique visitors each day ['unique' is where
one person is counted as one visit, even if they look at many pages].
What's next?
While I was in Paris for the
month of June 2007, I made tons and tons of notes
and took plenty of photos, all with a view to adding this information
to this website, to help even MORE people - and you already know I love
to
help others!
This is a perfect solution for
me, using a website building process
that takes you by the hand and leads you through every step of the way
to creating your content. Even people who've never had
anything to do with building websites have created fabulous sites -
anyone can do it!
Many of these people
now have very successful sites which are bringing in an income to
supplement their salaries, whether it's a college student, a
work-at-home-mom, or a business person. Everyone can have a successful
website by following the step-by-step guides. All the guesswork is
taken out, all the tricky bits [like getting traffic to your site] are
handled by the system - I really can't believe how easy it has been.
Oh sure - you DO
have to put in effort and create lots of content-rich pages
so that your website visitors will want to keep coming back, but that
gets easier each day. I thought I'd have trouble coming up with 20
pages, and now I have enough notes for another 20-30 pages which I
can't wait to write!
You don't need any programming
skills or website design knowledge, no
business and no product to sell. Just bring your brain and motivation
[we call that BAM]. This website building process has all the
tools you'll ever need, and they take you by the hand and teach you
step by step how to use everything.
They even help you find the
perfect topic for your website, how to
build it, how to get traffic to it, and then they even teach you how to
make money with it, no matter what it's about!
So - how do I make money?
At the moment mostly with
advertising. You probably noticed the links
throughout the website which say "Ads by Goooogle". Every time someone
is interested and clicks on one, I make money. Admittedly the
clicks might only be for a few cents, but with a lot of website
traffic, that can turn into a few dollars a day.
(Important: please don't click
on any of these ads unless you are
genuinely interested in them. You are creating costs for the
advertisers and that wouldn't be fair.)
By following the step-by-step
Guide, I knew when it was time to add a small
amount of advertising to my site, and yes, I've started to receive an
income from my site. So far it's just pennies, but if I continue to
follow the Guide to the letter, I'm hoping that in a few more months
I'll be able to report that the income is more than that. Stay tuned!
Thousands of people have been
using this system for well over ten years, and many hundreds of
successful websites are
built by normal people like you and me. All these sites are in the top
1% of the most successful websites on the internet. (One day I hope
you'll find my site in the travel category.)
There is a staggering variety
of topics and
themes which people have turned into profitable websites by using this
web builder.
People are so enthusiastic
about it, they've started making videos
about how much they love it and how it changed their lives - when I get
the hang of making videos, I'll do that too.
I'm so pleased to be able to
tell you about this and share it with you
- and if you decide to build your own website, I wish you much success
on your adventure.
Want to follow your own passion?
If you'd like to know more
about how I built this website, please
fill in the form at the bottom of this page and I'll get
back to you as
quickly as possible. If you decide to buy the web builder
system from my site, you'll also receive emails from me to help you get
started
on your own fabulous adventure to write about something which makes
your heart sing! You'll also receive other bonuses after purchase.
So - do you have a subject you LOVE to talk about?
Let's turn that into a website!
Cheers,
Teena!

PS
- I've been watching my Paris website slowly climb the traffic ranks at
Alexa, and I'm totally impressed! [The lower the number, the fewer
sites there are to compete with.] All thanks to SBI! If I get a ranking
which is 100,000 or lower, then my dreams have come true!
