It is not easy learning how to build a website, especially a successful one, a website with TRAFFIC and INCOME. SBI Coaching with Your SBI Coach will get you there the fastest, and easiest way possible.
Feeling Overwhelmed? SBI coaching from Your SBI Coach may be just what the doctor ordered.
It's a lot the first time around. SBI is one of those amazing companies that over delivers in spades. Every few weeks it feels like there is a new module, updates, new things to learn, better ways to build a website. Just keeping up with it all can be a full time job. Starting from scratch can be overwhelming.
The faster your site is up and running, the faster you can start to make money. As Your SBI Coach, I'll be there to walk you through the various steps, sort out that mess you see above, answer your questions, encourage and cheer you on. You will learn more and do more than you can imagine. And we will do it NOW.
And it will be focused to MONETIZING your site. I served as the moderator of the SBI Forum on Monetization for five years, and I took that opportunity to learn all I could about monetizing different kinds of sites. As your coach, I can help you apply what I have learned.
Your site may be up and running in a month or two, but that doesn't mean it is "done". There are bound to be more questions over the next few months ... and I'm here to answer them. As Your SBI Coach, I'll be there to help you out with most things that you get stuck on for the first year.
There can be any number of things that you didn't even think about asking when we first talked about something, or there could be new modules added during the year. That's why I stick around for a year.
If I had had a coach in the beginning, I could have had my site up and running in a fraction of the time it took me. I could have started making money months earlier.
There is nothing about SBI that most people can't figure out for themselves. There is all kinds of help. There's the Action Guide ... the Forums ... Tips and Techniques.
It just takes time. When your time is valuable, you need Your SBI Coach.

Whatever your skill or knowledge base is, it's yours. You know it. Forwards and backwards.
What you may not know is how to create a successful web site. That's where I come in. I became Your SBI Coach to help you build the most successful website possible.
The first 20 pages are the hardest. That's why SBI coaching from Your SBI Coach focuses primarily on those. Getting all the preliminaries in place, and getting to your home page -- that's a huge accomplishment. Then we put together the core of your site, formatted so that you can continue to expand long after I'm gone.
Well, for starters, it will be formatted much like this one, most likely with a 2-column format. This template is an SBI template (a 3-column template). It is a great way to start. You will also end up with
... and lots more. We talk about Alexa, how to read and understand stats. We talk about unique ways of generating traffic to your site. We talk about what makes your site unique, and how to benefit from that knowledge. We talk about what you need to know to be successful. Your Master Keyword List will be stuffed with good keywords. You will begin to get traffic.
The real bonus is that you will know how to do it yourself. You will be the MASTER OF YOUR DOMAIN!
We always work specifically on your site. If we go off your site it is to demo a tool or technique from another site.
Most of our sessions last about a hour. Sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on the topic.
At each session we connect with a screen sharing service that I provide. You actually look at my monitor, which I have open to your website and your Site Central.
Step by step we go through each task together. At the end of each session, I like to leave you with an assignment. Perhaps you are to build X number of pages. Perhaps you are to add in all the tier 3 links. When we start the next session, we review what you have done, and proceed on to the next step in website building.
Trust me, it is YOURS. You choose the site concept. You write the pages. You decide on the direction to take.
My job is to coach, to teach, to encourage, to redirect, to edit, and sometimes to just be a pain in the you know what. (As with any good coach, it's all to ensure that you do succeed.) I won't let you get off on the wrong path without fair warning. But, hey, if you still want a site concept with a potential visitor tally of 200, that's your decision.
In the now legendary Chicago boot camp, we did it in 5 days. (In July 2006 ten SBI-ers went with Ken Evoy to Chicago to teach SBI to 100 people in 5 days. I was very proud to be one of the ten coaches at that conference.)
Five days is a bit tight, but with one to one on tutoring, 10 to 20 SBI coaching sessions is not unrealistic. (Each session is usually several days apart, to give you time to practice what we learn in coaching.)
Basically, we'll take as much time as you need to get the job done. It can be over a couple of weeks, or a couple of months, even longer if you prefer. We'll spend around 10 - 20 hours together on the phone (and on my web sharing service so we can look at the same screen), plus slews of emails and messages.
How quickly we can complete your site is dependent on your time availability, your typing speed (there is a lot of typing) and the complexity of your topic. Someone who has eight hours a day to devote to her website is going to grow it a lot faster than someone who can only squeeze in two or three hours a week.
When we're done with your SBI coaching, you will have a site you can be proud of. And YOU will feel CONFIDENCE as a webmaster that you can only imagine.
Gosh, I wish I could. I wish I could guarantee that I would have a successful website. But I can't guarantee it, neither for you nor for me. Unfortunately, there are a lot of factors that go into a successful, many of which we can control, but some of which we cannot control.
For example, I can control the tasks that we learn about. And we learn about LOTS of tasks in building a successful site, like how to write content and use of images and AdSense advertising.
But there are things neither you nor I nor SBI can control. We cannot, for example, control what Google does. We cannot control the strength or determination of your competition. If we have discovered a great little niche, we just cannot control that it will remain "ours", void of competition.
SBI and YourSBICoach have really, really great success rates. Over 90% of the people I work with end up with sites in the top 1%. That's not bad. With your BAM (Brains and Motivation) and my coaching, the odds are with you.
From start to finish. No extras.
You may want to get a headset so you can receive phone calls at your computer, or you may want to invest in a snazzy header design. All the coaching is included in this one price. I handle the phone hookup and video service too.
DO NOT TRY TO SEND ME MONEY AT THIS POINT.
This is a big undertaking. I want you to feel confident about proceeding, and I want to feel confident too.
At the very least, I want to make sure that you and I communicate well enough to succeed in this process. I certainly want to make sure that I have the time available during the time that you want to accomplish this, whether it is five days or five months.
With the time needed for my primary site (Business Plan Master) I can only accept very few new clients each month. That ensures that we have the time we need when we need it.
Let's talk. If you would be so kind as to send me your phone number (below), and the best time to call you, I'll give you a call. Have your questions in hand, and let's see if it will work.
When you do pay, you may use your credit card via PayPal, or send a check directly to me -- let me know your preference.
Please complete this brief Contact Form - COACHING -- and I will give you a call as soon as possible.
You will see a screen pop up that says I will contact you soon. Then I will send you an email confirming when I will call. That's it. We're on our way!
One more note: I am not affiliated with the formal coaching provided by SBI. I am an independent contractor. I like the flexibility this gives me to work with you as you and I decide. You and I determine when to meet, for how long, and what to talk about. The coaching provided by SBI costs about the same, but there are some differences. You are welcome to check them out, and then pick the one that you think will work best for you.
Hi! I am just starting out in FaceBook. If you are on FB too, I would appreciate a "thumbs up"! Thank you.

"Thanks MaryAnn for your Reply. You suggested several things I hadn't yet thought of ... I always look forward to hearing from you. Any other advice you have I would be grateful to receive."
Take care,

"MaryAnn, I just can't tell you how much I appreciate your advice about how keywords work. for the first time, I think I see how I can provide my visitors with what THEY want (within the scope of my theme, and determined by good keywords) and not what I choose to write about.

"Thank you Mary Ann. I will look into your wonderful suggestions for teaching online."
Andrea

"Thank you for your thoughts. I now realize that I need to get outside the 'box in my head' about what to offer. And I had not thought at all of THINGS eg. candle holders etc. I think I will do some research into herbs and flowers ... I really appreciate your taking time to offer ideas.

Hi Vida,
Two great pearls of widsom, here, each reinforcing the other
Anna from thespeciallife.com nails it down nicely ...
And MaryAnn from yoursbicoach.com reinforces.
For a Webmaster using SBI! for clients, I can't imagine a better approach. Brilliant in its simplicity.
... The ENGAGING CONVERSATION approach outlined by Anna and MaryAnn are far more powerful. Anyone can adapt part of what Mary Ann says, and that's what I would suggest in your case...
Ken

I needed some help with my first site and found a great coach to help me. So, with help from my SBI coach, I have a major goal. To build 106 pages on great keywords that she found!
