How To Start Living the Dream with Your Own Online Business, and Make Money on the Web

Have you ever wanted an online business?

Do you want to make money from home, even while you're sleeping?

We wanted to share with you the best move we made. We wanted to make money from our websites so that we could live our dream. We want to share our experience just in case you have a similar dream. We are sure that you have a website somewhere inside you too!

And you, like us, might want to make money on the web.

Here's our story…


Some years ago, while on holiday on the Greek Island of Samos, we decided that we wanted to leave our life in England behind and move to Greece, to a warmer and sunnier place, hopefully near the beach!

We had no idea how we could do this, as we were both far from retirement, had no savings, and could not speak Greek, nor did we have any skills we could transfer to the Greek Islands.

We weren't builders or teachers or dentist or doctors. We both had really good jobs in the private voluntary sector, but our management and quasi-legal skills were of no use to us in Greece.

We needed a way to finance ourselves to enable us to live our dream.

We tried to think about what we could do. I thought I could become a writer, even writing a best seller and then retiring to the Greek Islands! (Some hope!)

We thought about the Internet. We were both familiar with IT, and although we had no technical computer skills, we felt that the World Wide Web held the key to our dreams and aspirations.

During our spare time we tried to develop our online business ideas. A friend helped us set up websites and we tried online selling through this and through eBay.

In this way we tried to make money on the Web so that we could start living the dream of moving to a Greek Island, working from home, living a hassle free lifestyle, being our own boss and not working for anyone, and working when and how we wanted to.

But we also wanted to do something that we were truly interested in, which stimulated us, and helped and informed others.

This is REAL freedom.

But our past efforts never took off. We developed websites, sure - but they were just web sites - we didn't get the visitors we hoped for, and we certainly didn't earn any income from them.

Our Breakthrough Moment

From our experience, we knew that there was a big difference between setting up a web site, and setting up a web business.

There are many ways to make money with a website, more than we realised before we started. But there are no opportunities without visitors or traffic - people going on Google, finding you, and making the "click".

Lots of people offer to help you create your web site. We know, we've tried some, but we found that it was wasted money.

A shop on busy high street has plenty of potential with the passing trade. But a web site just put up on the World Wide Web - with millions of others, just isn't going to get any attention by itself.

Usually this results in:

  • No visitors, and so...
  • No income

It doesn't take long to realise that you can't earn money online just by putting up your web site, and we were close to dropping our dream of an online business.

Then we found out about
Site Build It!


We switched to SBI! because it doesn't just help you create a website that the search engines and your visitors love.

Click here for more information about Site Build It!. (En français, auf Deutsch, in het Nederlands)

We are constantly thinking of new sites, providing information about topics and things we are interested in, which will generate interested visitors.

Even though we have only just started, we are reaching a much larger audience than we ever hoped for.

This Make Money link shows how ANYONE with the help of Site Build It!'s easy-to-use tools can build a successful online business about something they know and love.

What could be better than sharing the joy and excitement you feel about your favourite topic or activity with other like-minded people from around the world... and make money at the same time?

Is it "Easy Money"? - No, not at all

Of course, you know as well as we do that nothing worth achieving is easy. An online business in not easy money.

To finally be successful in a web business is worth a bit of hard work and a few frustrations. In all our years of trying to develop an online business, we've not found anything else that remotely comes close to SBI!

If you have ever thought you should make your own web site, or if you dream of a starting an online business that will make you money while you do other things, you can't afford not to check out SBI!'s service.

You don't have to download any programs. It's all there for you', whatever your level of Web experinece - computer nerd or never-seen-a-computer.

If you have any interest in deveoping your hobby or passion, or making money online or even just having a fun hobby that pays for itself, you should at least check out SBI!

Ever thought someone could make money out of a hobby like - juggling!

You can create a successful website. Everyone has something they know about.

And other people want to know what you know! Don't take my word for it. Google it. See how many web sites come up. If you're into it, you can bet so are a whole lot of other people.

People are just waiting for someone - like you - to tell them more about it.

For example . . . If Jim Nelson can do it, with something as relatively obscure as Juggling, just imagine what you could do for an online business, with your hobby, speciality, or area of interest!

You don't even have to sell anything. Just offer information on whatever interests you. Let Google's Ads or other affiliates provide the income. (Learn about Google Ads here).

We now live on the beautiful Greek Island of Crete. We get up with the sun shining down from a blue sky, work a couple of hours on our sites: writing new content, responding to contacts, updating our pages.

The rest of the day is ours to spend how we want: walking in the mountains, lying on the beach, or by the pool.

Whatever your dream, you can benefit from SBI! We wanted to move to Crete, so it was the perfect solution.

But you may have other reasons and other needs.

Single mums, house wife/husbands looking for additional income, someone wanting to develop their hobby, someone wanting to educate and inform - all can find what they need to help them develop their web site with SBI!

SBI! is a Canadian company, and so it's a bit razzamatazz - but don't let that put you off. It's been a great success for us and enabled us to do what we want to do and live our dream.


If you are fed up of working like a donkey all your life, and you want independence and the ability to make a choice about how you live your life, then SBI! could be the answer for you - like it was for us.

If you have a dream, then check out SBI!

If you don't have a dream - GET ONE (then check out SBI!)

We hope to see your site online soon!
