Retire Early - To What? Harness Your Interests and Build an Online Business

By Michael Nette Taylor

 

Since I took early retirement, going full-time into the online marketing arena, I've used six different website hosting companies. They all had their attractions but once I figured out what I really needed for my business the choice was clear.

I started out with a traditional business model which had an online presence and was preparing to take its products to the main street. As a franchisee I had very limited control over the site's content, which was alright with me until the nature of the business changed and I learned a bit about website design and started to want to make my own mark.

That business franchise ended up going nowhere in my part of the world due to some technical difficulties and rather than stay with the company and engage in their new services, I made the decision to strike out on my own as a consultant specializing in the network marketing industry.

This required that I start my own website and that I understand how to purchase multiple domains and have them redirect to my various affiliate sites. The latter was fairly straight forward, and when it came to building my own site I was ready for that too, especially with the help of a friendly WISIWYG editor or FrontPage.

I could create a landing page but what about the traffic? I needed to learn about the importance of creating quality content to attract my visitors in a natural way if I wanted - needed - to avoid high cost advertising. Then I needed to slow down and undertake a step by step process before expecting sales to roll in; to build trust by sharing quality information.

Luckily I found one hosting company that provided more than any other I'd ever heard of or used before. In fact their promise was "find a topic you love, write about it and we'll help you make money online."

No wonder Ken Evoy and his many affiliates have so many raving fans, with 62% of SBI! sites ranking within the top 3% of ALL Web sites on the Internet. That means people like me are getting quality traffic and learning how to retire early. I'm in!
