			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Home Business/Work-From-Home</strong></p>
<p>Thinking about starting a work-from-home business? Run a genuine business, your business, from home, full- or part-time. No &#8220;biz opp&#8221; here &#8212; this is real.</p>
<p><strong>Service Businesses</strong></p>
<p>Offer a service related to your niche. Build a client base, whether clients are local (ex., magician for house parties) or global (ex., JAVA programmer). (Or start a completely new service business.)<br />
<strong>E-goods Creators/Sellers</strong></p>
<p>Are you a programmer (or hire one!) with an idea for a needed niche-filling software? Or perhaps you have an idea for an e-book? Maybe a photographer with collections of e-photos (the e-photo sales market will boom!). Anything can be digitized nowadays &#8212; sell it.</p>
<p><strong>Hard Goods Creators/Sellers</strong></p>
<p>Are you a small business or a craftsman that creates/manufactures/retails your own hard goods (i.e., products that you can actually touch and that you ship &#8212; non-digital products)? Put up (copy-and-paste HTML) your own store and sell direct, without Yahoo! Stores, eBay, etc&#8230; or with. No products of your own &#8212; you can still add a wonderful store, sourced from thousands of manufacturers that drop-ship for you (no need for you to hold inventory, nor pick-pack-and-ship)</p>
<p><strong>Sales and Rental Agents/Reps/Distributors</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s your traffic &#8212; sell or rent what you want, how you want. Do you represent great products, either for sale (from medical equipment to ice cream makers) and/or rent (from apartments to heavy equipment)? Squidoo can significantly help boost your sales.</p>
<p><strong>Affiliates</strong></p>
<p>Add hundreds-to-thousands of dollars per month to your diversified monetization plan, without having a product of your own &#8212; no warehousing, packaging, shipping, etc. And if you do sell a product of your own, simply choose merchants that complement your product line.</p>
<p><strong>Referrers/Finders</strong></p>
<p>Another great &#8220;add-on&#8221; monetizer. This model is as classic as business itself&#8230; get paid a referrer or finder&#8217;s fee by an offline business for finding a customer (or a &#8220;lead&#8221;) for it. The Net, though, makes it far more cost-effective.</p>
<p><strong>Existing Online Businesses/E-commerce Sites</strong></p>
<p>Already have an existing online business or e-commerce sites? Do you need an ongoing stream of free, targeted traffic&#8230; motivated, interested buyers? Use SiteBuildIt! as a traffic-funnel, for a tiny fraction of the cost of your primary site.</p>
<p><strong>Network Marketers/Multi-Level Marketers</strong></p>
<p>Forget those spammy online lead-generators. Imagine if you could build your own unique site that attracted and PREsold warm leads to call YOU all day long? No more &#8220;you chasing them.&#8221; That is exactly what you and SBI! can achieve together.</p>
<p><strong>Net Auction Sellers</strong></p>
<p>Put eBay to work for you, instead of vice-versa. Use them as a supplemental source of income to auction a product that relates to your theme. Especially useful for local businesses or vendors that sell hard goods, and even for service-sellers. And obviously, for those who want to start an online auction business.</p>
<p><strong>Local Offline Businesses</strong></p>
<p>If you own an offline business with local clientele, a Web site is a must. Use it to grow your business locally and, in many cases, to extend your market globally (yes, you!)</p>
<p>Bottom Line?</p>
<p><strong>Start at the beginning&#8230; CONTENT.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Do not start at the end&#8230; MONETIZATION.</strong></p>
<p>So many people spend time and energy setting up a shopping cart and a merchant account or some other way of &#8220;collecting the money.&#8221; That&#8217;s putting the (shopping) cart before the e-horse of <strong>PREsold</strong> traffic.</p>
<p><strong>MONETIZATION </strong>comes last&#8230; it&#8217;s the final result of doing everything else (C T P) correctly.</p>
<p>The easiest part of any small business site is mixing-and-matching the most appropriate blend of Monetization models into your traffic-generating site.</p>
<p>The key is to eliminate &#8220;offline thinking.&#8221; Recognize the fundamental reality of how people use the Web. Online, people look for Content.</p>
<p>Start there. Deliver Content, which builds Traffic, which is PREsold. Then and only then, are you ready to Monetize.</p>
<p>Once you have your own PREsold traffic, you are in control. Blend in multiple streams of revenue, not just one. Diversify to maximize income, growth and stability.</p>
<p>You can even create an online store with SiteBuildIt! See for yourself&#8230;</p>
