Me Create a Website?

Create a website? I never thought it would happen!

My wild ride, website experience began with purchasing a "fantastic, superb, unbelievably quick and easy, make-a-million, create-a-site deal".

It starts as an embarassing story, but I'm telling it anyway.

Bad Beginning:

I started out with the idea to create a website about bonsai. Since I have been creating bonsai for over 25 years, it seemed like a viable home based business idea. Then ...

I admit it, I got sucked in by one of those hard sell bargains to create a website for only $500 and receive ten (or was it twenty) CDs, five e-books and all those "secrets", guaranteed! WOW! How could I go wrong?

When I received the package in the mail, I was ready to learn everything I could about websites.

In the very first CD, I had no idea what they were talking about! When I heard "oh, by the way, you also need" I had a clue. It didn't take long before I realized that $500 was only the beginning.

In one of the videos, an attendee ... at a "super fantatstic seminar worth thousands of dollars!" . . . asked about refunds. The answer was:

"By the time they find the return address, the thirty days is up!"

I did not find the comment funny. I immediately went for my credit card. I called my credit card company to stop payment, and began to search for the return address. All of the email addresses were for ordering only, no phone numbers, no way to contact. I finally discovered the necessary information embedded in a most unlikely page.

TRUE: It me took two weeks to finally determine the return information. Three months later, after much back and forth, I did get my refund.

I vowed, no more quick and easy for me!

Good Ending:

I had recently found scanner photography and was even more anxious to create a website. Scanner Magic was something I wanted to share. By then I was gun shy, but I knew I could make money online. I also knew I could not create a website on my own.

When I looked at Site Build It, the first "warnings" I noticed were:

• "This is NOT quick and easy." and
• "Get Rich Quick is a Fraud."

That got my attention. Should I or shouldn't I? I could charge it and always cancel. After all, I already had that experience in my bag of tricks. Although I had my doubts, I knew I could make money onlnine and I went for it.

I know very little about creating anything on the computer -- other than e-mail. But I had discovered a new passion , and wanted to tell the world. I was looking for a home based business, I wanted to create a website and I was willing to work hard.

When I signed up online, I received no fancy CDs or stacks of meaningless paper. In no time, I was ready to start, right there on my computer.

(It took me two days to find Notepad! My fault, that's where I should have contacted the fantastic forums.) After that I was on my way.

• SBI gives you a choice of written or video guides. I use both!

• All the Research Tools are easy to use.

• HTML? I had no clue what it was. As it turned out, I didn't need to know HTML.

• SBI was built for me. It has a fill-in-the-blanks system! (Although you don't need to go that way if you are a techie.)

• Talk about a one-stop solution! There are options, but I have not needed to purchase anything additional!

• When I get stuck, I contact The Forums. Everyone is there to help, and they do. (I should have asked them where Notepad was earlier than I did.)

Easy? Not really. I feel like I've gone back to college. However, I've never purchased a better product that gave me exactly what it promised!

If I can do this, you surely can!

• Maybe you already have a site where nothing is happening.

• Have you also been burned by hard-sell offers?

• Or if you have even an inkling that you may "create a website" someday ...
