WAHM is Me!


I like to describe myself now as a Work at Home Mom (ok, so I am a teacher too but here is my story)....

When I am searching the internet and I find a site that pulls my attention in; I am always curious about the site owner. Who owns this? What prompted them to make the site? How did you make it? Where did you learn to build a website? (yes, I tend to ask a lot of questions to everyone!)

And always I am wondering …..Does this site make you money??

Well, I thought I would answer these questions about myself since I am the webmaster (that sounds weird to say).

I am a full time teacher and I love education, I don’t want to change careers but, I needed some extra money to help subsidize my families’ income.


So a year ago I started plugging away. I purchased a site from yahoo, snap monkey, and several others. I actually have about seven domain names out there that I started and have not done anything with!

I would start the site and get so confused and frustrated that I would quit and then later start all over again. (I wonder what happens to all of those partial sites of mine that are floating around out in cyber space.) If I had a nickel for all of the “good” ideas that I have had… well, lets just say I wouldn’t have money problems.

Oh yea, in the past year out of desperation I have spent our last savings money on my “good ideas”. (Don't tell my husband) We owned a drop ship business that I ended up paying customers to take my stuff!

I was in several multilevel marketing opportunities and I now hove more “stuff” and less money. You get the picture.

Does any of this sound like you?



Well, after extensive research and looking into the BBB for reliable website services I stumbled across this video.

I really related to this and started investigating and reading anything positive and negative I could find on SBI (by the way, couldn’t find anything negative). So I took the leap and I purchased it.

I along with lots of people like me took the plunge. See an example of someone else's journey.

Now, it has taken me longer to develop this site because I am following the plan step by step process and I am learning so much and the more I do the easier it is getting! The SBI process is (turtle analogy)

I truly can say I understand how it all works, how I can make money, how to build a site that is attractive for human eyes as well as search engines (google, yahoo etc.).


So now you ask….. why a site about Central Florida?

I LOVE CENTRAL FLORIDA! I have enjoyed everything from the amazing theme parks and beaches to the everyday life of shopping and raising a family.

Friends and family for years call me or write saying "Allison, we are coming in to Orlando.. give us our itinerary!" So I would write everything down but, the information has grown so large that I needed another outlet to share it with. Soooooo, why not share this information with everyone else!

I enjoy sharing the tricks of getting around and getting the most bang for your buck.


That is where Site Build it comes in. I had been doing this all wrong before. I thought if built a website they would automatically all start coming to my wonderful site!

Well, it doesn't work that way and I learned how with key word research I can find a niche that I knew a lot about and that would make money thus,

www.exploring-central-florida.com came about.

So I started plugging away a little at a time. Since I am a full time teacher and full time wife and mother I would work on it an hour here and an hour there (the SBI way). Well, now…. I am so proud of my site!

I DID IT ALL BY MYSELF! What a huge accomplishment and I am seeing more and more visitors everyday.

NO more partial sites, no more good attempts. I want to share my good news with everyone!

Let everyone know they can do this too!


Sincerely,

Allison
