Granny Builds Website!

Guest Editor: Barb Van Harn

Site Owner of: Discover Southern Ontario

I signed up with SBI! just over 12 months ago and the past year has been a wonderful adventure, fraught with learning, excitement, and cutting edge technology!

Well, that's the way it seems to me!

I was so much of a Newbie that I didn't even know what Newbie meant! With the SBI system I found that even I could build a viable website that draws traffic. I did take a couple of months off last summer when I had about 30 pages up and running, but got revved up and going again and now my daily traffic is averaging about 200 unique visitors per day. To me this is astounding!

I haven't had any problems, I just read and re-read the Action Guide, and visit the Forums when I need guidance - the online Forum is a great place for support and encouragement.

I recently started a Blog on my site and this has increased my daily traffic by about 30%.

My grown-up children all told me that I wouldn't be able to build a website (such confidence in their Mother!), they thought that no-one would ever read it, much less, be actually interested in any of the information it contains. They didn't believe that this 50-something Granny could cut it - Ha! I showed them!

One of the additional benefits to building my SBI! site is that I have gained confidence in myself and have tried several new business ventures in the past year, that before SBI! I would have never tried, for fear of failure.

I figure, now that I have a website up and running, I can do ANYTHING!

My SBI! site will continue to grow and flourish over the next few months and years - building pages is one of my pleasures in life - it's a little like writing a book, but you don't have to wait until it is finished before others can read it, nor do you have to please a publisher before you go "live".

There is no stopping me now! Look out - here I come!

All the best,
Barb
