			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have read <a href="http://www.ycng.net/2009/journey-into-affiliate-marketing">my personal journey into affiliate marketing</a>, you may know that I started my first content theme site with <a href="http://ycng.net/sbi" target="_blank">Site Build It!</a> (SBI!). SBI! provided me an exceptional foundation on building an in-demand content website.</p>
<p>Whenever my friends approach me for information about the start up of internet marketing, I always recommend them to consider SBI! because the package is completed with domain, webhosting and the most important &#8211; the valuable internet marketing lessons, suitable for a beginner who know little about web design and web site marketing.</p>
<p>I was using SBI! for two years before switching to <a href="http://ycng.net/xsitepro" target="_blank">XSitePro</a> to build the rest of my sites (to cut cost <img src='http://ycng.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> ). Two weeks ago, I signed up SBI! again to build my website for my upcoming coaching services (more coming&#8230; <img src='http://ycng.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> ).</p>
<p>Wow, SBI! has included a lot of new features!</p>
<p>After several years, I find their site building processes are indeed a valuable e-business lessons still.</p>
<p>No wonder, 30 accredited centers of higher education in US are selecting SBI! as the way to teach undergraduates, MBAs and Continuing Education students how to use the Web to build a successful online business.</p>
<p>The “valuable lessons” I mean here is the CTPM process…</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-171" title="Site Build It" src="http://ycng.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ctpm.jpg" alt="ctpm" width="250" height="84" /></p>
<p>&#8230; the step-by-step process of how to turn your knowledge into <strong>C</strong>ontent&#8230; and your <strong>C</strong>ontent into <strong>T</strong>raffic, then <strong>P</strong>RESells those visitors and converts them into <strong>M</strong>oney.</p>
<p>That is what makes SBI! <strong>unique</strong>&#8230; and <strong>effective</strong>.</p>
<p>Before building a website, it is so critical to invest time on planning stage to develop the <em><strong>site content blueprint</strong></em>.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Brainstorming </strong></li>
</ul>
<p>This <strong>Brainstorming</strong> process is all about <strong>Think – Plan – Consider – Research – Adjust</strong>.</p>
<p>Otherwise, you will just build another unvisited website, like most of the websites out there.</p>
<p>If you are interested to find out more about <strong>CTPM </strong>process, <a href="http://ycng.net/sbiguide" target="_blank">click here</a> to look &#8220;inside&#8221; at the guide that SBIers actually use and how they build a small but flourishing and profitable business on the net.</p>
<p>This online <a href="http://ycng.net/sbiguide" target="_blank">SBI! Action Guide</a> shows you how to execute the natural, powerful <strong>C</strong><strong><strong>T</strong><strong>P</strong><strong>M</strong></strong> process, using SBI!&#8217;s easy-to-use, integrated set of tools.</p>
<p>Even though you are using other website builders, I am sure you will pick up lot of useful information especially the steps to develop <strong><em>site content blueprint</em></strong>.    </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is countless of ads about making money online in the newspapers and internet. It could be very misleading. Those marketers always present you their earning screenshots within the quick period without disclosing their expenses and prompt you to buy their pricey courses. Those courses merely provide you tactics to make instant money online. This is only a short term game.</p>
<p>Building the real internet business is much more than this. Such tactics are just one of the components of business building.</p>
<p>Zamri Nanyan has just disclosed his mentoring conversation with Patric Chan. He paid Patric thousands of dollars to consult him so that he can build a real internet business that will ultimately give him financial freedom. I find it extremely helpful for those who plan to start their online business. Patric shares how to build a sustainable business correctly from ground zero. Patric is a very successful Malaysian internet marketer and is well-respected internationally. Both Zamri and Patric are from Penang <img src='http://ycng.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-124  aligncenter" title="4wks-freedom" src="http://ycng.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/4wks-freedom.gif" alt="4wks-freedom" width="200" height="211" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://ycng.net/freedom" target="_blank">Click here to download the mp3</a>.</p>
<p>Here is what I learnt from the audio, in a simple mind map&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-125  aligncenter" title="mindmap" src="http://ycng.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/mindmap.gif" alt="mindmap" width="500" height="355" /></p>
<p>Patric mentioned the 8-step model in order to build a sustainable business and he shared 5 of them in this audio. It’s important to focus on these early steps one at a time and do them in the correct order. I agree that affiliate marketing may not fulfill the 8 steps but it depends on how you develop it.</p>
<p>They are plenty of newbie marketers who use the ready made review template and invest on PPC advertising. Although they have no problem to make some money here and there, but in order to do it successfully they need to do more. Furthermore, it is no fun to target so many markets and they will get bored easily. Such a simple 2 or 3-step processes are so easy for other marketers to rip off the entire model.</p>
<p>Those super affiliate marketers who target various markets and made a million dollars a year are systemizing the multiple processes and build a team to achieve it.</p>
<p>It is always challenging to market a product successfully. It is critical to gain trust from the visitors by giving more values to them. Look at some of the super affiliate marketers like Rosalind Gardner and Allan Gardyne, they have built a successful portals, the assets that not easy to be ripped off.</p>
<p>Believe me, after listening to this one hour audio, it is going to change your paradigm. The way how you think about building an internet business will be different.</p>
<p>My respect to Zamri for sharing such a helpful and personal conversation for free.</p>
<p>Thanks, Zamri.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left">Building a network of content affiliate websites can be massively  profitable. <a href="http://ycng.net/trafficsecrets" target="_blank">John Reese</a> called it a <strong>VRE</strong> (<strong>V</strong>irtual <strong>R</strong>eal <strong>E</strong>state) sites.  Below is the excerpt from his email 2-3 years ago that emphasize the important of  VRE&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>Today I am sending you this message that might be the most important email you ever receive.Okay&#8230; That sounds kinda &#8220;hypey&#8221; doesn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>Well, maybe it does.  But the fact of the matter is, I am about to tell you about something that very well may change your life &#8212; especially if you are truly interested in building a solid income online.</p>
<p>As you probably know by now, I&#8217;ve been singing the praises of &#8220;VRE&#8221; (Virtual Real Estate creation) for over a year now.  The online advertising industry has rebounded from the big &#8220;Dot Com&#8221; crash that happened just 5 years ago.  More money than ever is being pumped into online advertising today than ever before. And setting up a VRE &#8216;empire&#8217; is one of the best ways for you to make money online.</p>
<p>In fact, VRE is very much like the &#8220;gold rush&#8221; that happened with .COM domain names. Wouldn&#8217;t you like to be able to go back to 1994 and buy almost any .COM domain name you wanted?  Just think of how much money you would make by turning around and selling single domains for as much as $250,000 or more!</p>
<p>But, unfortunately, we can&#8217;t go back in time and take advantage of that opportunity that has now passed.  HOWEVER&#8230;</p>
<p>What we *can* do is take advantage of lucrative new opportunities.  And VRE is one of the best I&#8217;ve seen since I&#8217;ve been marketing online since 1990.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s right.  One of the BEST in the history of the Internet.</p>
<p>And here&#8217;s the greatest thing about this opportunity&#8230;</p>
<p>Unlike the .COM gold rush and other past opportunities, VRE is going to be around practically FOREVER.  So it&#8217;s not going to just go away and no longer make money.</p>
<p>BUT&#8230;</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a very important reason that you ABSOLUTELY MUST take action *today* if you want to make a ton of money with your own VRE empire&#8230;</p>
<p>You see, as time goes on, more and more and more and more people are going to get into the VRE &#8216;game&#8217;.  Competition is going to get tougher.  It will become harder and harder to get tons of free traffic from the search engines.  It is going to get MUCH harder to make easy profits.</p>
<p>Plain and simple.  VRE will eventually become something that&#8217;s very difficult to make a lot of money with.  It doesn&#8217;t mean that there won&#8217;t always be a decent opportunity to create VRE type sites and make money (even 10 years from now) but single sites won&#8217;t make as much money as they can today.</p>
<p>FACT:  If you want to make as much money as possible online, there are certain things you must absolutely start doing RIGHT NOW.</p>
<p>As you probably know, one of the most critical components for getting free search engine traffic is to get incoming links to your site from other sites.  Because of this, the people that act NOW and start creating sites and getting these links together will have a MAJOR advantage over people that try to get into the VRE game in the future.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s simple.  Once you have a certain number of incoming links to your site and it gives you higher search engine rankings, your site will build STABILITY in the rankings.</p>
<p>In other words, it will be harder and harder for competition to beat your page rankings.  AND since you will get more traffic than &#8220;newcomers&#8221; to your market, you&#8217;ll be able to have links on your pages that invite other sites to TRADE LINKS with you &#8212; giving you more incoming links and GROWING YOUR ADVANTAGE over future competition.</p>
<p>So it&#8217;s critical that you get things going TODAY if you want to take advantage of this awesome opportunity.</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s not just about getting those incoming links.  There are many other critical components to building a successful VRE empire&#8230;</p>
<p>For example, during the past year several &#8220;page generation&#8221; software products came out.  These programs allowed you to crank out tons of VRE pages for any niche you wanted.</p>
<p>I made a small fortune using these software programs myself.  They made a ton of money when paired with Google AdSense or other affiliate programs.</p>
<p>However&#8230;  too many people starting cranking out these automated web pages and flooded Google, Yahoo, and MSN with them.  Those search engines eventually cracked down and worked hard to REMOVE them all from their databases.</p>
<p>So those software programs don&#8217;t work as well as they once did.  And in many cases, they don&#8217;t work at all.</p>
<p>But VRE is not some &#8220;flash in the pan&#8221; concept.  It&#8217;s not about creating sneaky pages or tricking the search engines.  It&#8217;s quite simply about building valuable CONTENT sites that offer educational information to site visitors &#8212; the foundation of what makes up the Internet in the first place.</p>
<p>The value of having a web site that has SOLID TARGETED CONTENT is  *never* going to go away on the Internet.  And this is what VRE is all about. Creating targeted content for small niche markets and then making money by running advertising (like through Google AdSense) or putting up links to affiliate products.</p>
<p>So when your visitors want to know more about the topic your site talks about, they can proceed through the links on your site to buy related products and services &#8212; and you get paid when they do.  Or in the case of Google AdSense, you simply get paid if anyone just clicks on any of the ads they will display on your pages.</p>
<p>Very simple, yet very powerful stuff that can add up to A LOT of money. Some VRE entrepreneurs have been making in excess of $20,000 A DAY.</p>
<p>Yes, $20,000 per day.</p>
<p>Now certainly those are extreme examples.  Everyone isn&#8217;t going to go out there and be able to build a VRE business that big – although many people will.  But the opportunity is certainly there for MANY people to make $250,000+ per year with a VRE business.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a subscriber to my Reese Report (reesereport.com) private newsletter then you already know how important I think VRE is. Heck, I write about it and include sections about it in each monthly CD-ROM and printed newsletter.</p>
<p>And the best thing about VRE is the fact that it fits in with ANY online business model.  If you want to sell ebooks or other infoproducts then you&#8217;re CRAZY if you don&#8217;t also build VRE sites for your market where you can not only generate tons of additional sales for your products but also make money from the ads on your site.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s just a no-brainer!</p>
<p>VRE is incredibly powerful and is probably the PERFECT BUSINESS at the same time.  It costs very little to build a huge VRE business and yet it can yield massive returns &#8212; on a consistent, month-to-month basis. (And even possibly YEARS to come.)</p>
<p>And what better way to make money than to not have to have your own product to sell.  All you do is create content sites online and make money when your site visitors click on links and/or buy other people&#8217;s stuff.</p>
<p>And best of all, there&#8217;s NO LIMIT to the number of VRE sites you can have.  If you create some little VRE sites that make $5/day, there&#8217;s no reason you can&#8217;t try and make 1,000+ other sites just like it.  It&#8217;s that powerful and that scalable.</p></blockquote>
