I tend to jump in with both feet when my intuition sends me a shiver but it occasionally takes me a while to figure out the why or the how.
Last year I was determined to finally build a web presence and launch my internet business. First, in February I read an article in Business 2.0 that pointed me towards MemberGate. I just knew MemberGate was the solution I was looking for to turn my book into a website (please tell them Stevie Puckett sent you). Next, I got an offer to get two SBI sites at a special price and I jumped in. Then I started my WordPress blog and was off and running on that too…all this in addition to my teaching, consulting, and parenting responsibilities, mind you. WHAT WAS I THINKING?
Well, now it is about to all pay off! My plate is mostly clear to give my infopreneurial endeavors much more focus for the next few months and really give it a go…and today, to top it all off, I had a breakthrough that revealed a clear cut plan of action. I love it!
You see, I could not resolve how to use my SBI site. I was pouring through the excellent set up information and training instructions and thought I had a wonderful idea but just could not see how to implement it. It was getting very frustrating because I knew it should not be so difficult. I was considering not renewing the site this year.
In one last ditch effort, I decided to use the SBI Consultant Program offered through Keen.com. I spoke with SBIExpertErik who in 15 minutes helped me realize what SBI is really best at…lead generation. Well, this fits in perfectly with my MemberGate plans and it fills a gaping hole that I had not addressed well.
I will let you know how it goes but now I’m off to build the content for my SBI site, thinkcareerdevelopment.com. It will serve as my free content and lead generator on the topic of career development with two primary goals 1) to give back a little, and 2) to funnel leads over to a membership site for people who want more.
