Earn Money In This Bad Economy

Bad Economy

This page is not just for truck drivers it is for anyone who desires to earn extra income. Please bookmark this page so if you need to come back to it later it will easy to find.

How truck drivers can earn extra income in this bad economy with internet profit on your computer.

In this day and age you have to do something to supplemental your income to help protect you if your trucking company slows down any more.



<<<<< Please subscribe to my free newsletter just fill in the block to the left.

Please read the entire page before you leave this page if you are interested in making extra income in this bad economy there is a lot of good information here. You owe it to yourself to check it out before you dismiss it.

It seems like every day I listen to the news I hear more and more bad news on the bad economy we are in. For the first eight months of this year the American economy has lost jobs each month, 263,000 in Sept., And Oct is not shaping up to be much better. With a 9.8% unemployment rate and over 15.1 million people are now unemployed. These numbers are also a reflection of trucking jobs lost. No longer are drivers able to quit one job an go to work for another trucking company immediately. Driver turnover rate is at an all time low.



There are still good jobs to be had in this bad economy but you really have to hunt for them. Employers are really looking at who they are hiring on, only hiring the most qualified ones. Passing over the ones who have had to many accidents or a bad DAC report.

Turn Your Passion Into Profit

Do you have a hobby you really love or an activity your really passionate about or any type of interest that you are good at? Or any other thing your little heart desires in this bad economy.

I was really struggling to get by the first three months of this year with slow freight an the bad economy. But May seems to be doing better but that could be because my company has laid off a number of drivers.

Last year I started looking around trying to find ways to supplement my income in this bad economy. Don't get me wrong I make good money at my driving job. I am one of the lucky ones who make over $65,000 a year in my job and I have good benefits. But in the back of my mind I'm always wondering how much longer can this last.

So I started looking around trying to find something on the internet that I could do in my spare time from my truck, on my laptop, or when I was at home. Then I stumbled across a website that showed me how I could start my own website and earn extra money. At first I was skeptical. Other than knowing how to turn a computer on and how to surf the web I had no ideal how to go about starting a web page or what it would be about.

But I decided to check it out and I'm glad I did. This web page you are reading was built by me with no experience what so ever. The site I stumbled across is Site Build It!

I started it at the end of last year and went live with my web page on the first of the year. Can you believe it, this entire website is costing me less than one dollar a day. And you would not believe the material they give you for free after you signup. This is a complete course and if you chose you don't have to buy anything extra this is a complete course I have not spent one dime on anything extra for this site it was all included in the cost and that's good news in this bad economy.

The key is to choose a subject you love (hobby, passion, topic, etc.) and build a content-rich, informative site or blog about it.

Here's an example. Say you love fishing. You could create a "how to" site on fishing that provides all the tips and techniques one needs to become a successful fisherman.

Then you'd make money by joining affiliate programs that offer fishing related products. Link to these products from your site and earn commissions when your visitors buy through your links.

Next time you are on your favorite site look for a link usually on the bottom of the page sometime at the top that says Affiliate. If you see this link that company will pay you a commission to sell there product or service. You do not have to buy anything from them or stock there product. Most are free to join.

You can also earn money from programs like Google AdSense (I get paid every time someone clicks on one of those Google ads you see on this page) or having other Webmasters advertise on your site. The possibilities are endless! Thousands of people (including myself) make a living from affiliate marketing.

Update RECESSION BUSTER SBI now offers a monthly payment option in addition to the yearly option.

I know there is a lot of info to take in (SBI does have a ton of extremely useful stuff to read and do) and a bit of a learning curve if you're starting out at never having built a website in your life (like me, I didn't have a clue). So, to break it down, here's ...in this bad economy.

I could go on an on about SBI but they have some videos that can explain it far better than I can.


More videos that explain how to build your own web site in this bad economy.

Build It. Explains the who-what-why of SBI! and exactly how it changes people's lives, we have prepared a 2 1/2 minute "video shortcut" for you. It is the fastest way to understand how you, too, will succeed beyond all others and why nothing in the world exists like SBI!.

Some case studies of other SBI sites Real-world experience of people just like you. The case studies here are detailed recounting of individual SBI! experiences, each in their own words, in their own styles in this bad economy.

If you wife or girlfriend is a stay at home mom in this bad economy they can do this too. Just check out WHAM (Work At Home Mom) video.

Are you retired they have a site for you too.

Are you a college student there is a program for you.

There is even an online course sign up now for a free webinar This is your exclusive look at how SBI eLearning delivers. This course is different from the ones above and cost a little more but it is the same course that is taught at over 20 colleges around the country. SBI! eLearning is a 12-week online education course that takes you, step-by-step through the process of building your very own successful, thriving Web business with Site Build It! (SBI!). Do you have a few hours a week to learn how to build your own Web business? And who does in this bad economy.

WHAT YOU GET

To understand the VALUE of what your paying per year means to you, I'd like to break it down into a list format.

1. You get website hosting each year: Not just a little bit of website hosting either. You'll NEVER pay more if your traffic goes crazy and you're getting multi-millions of visitors per year. THAT, in itself, is unheard of. Web hosting companies that I've seen charge on a per GB rate, depending on what space you use. Use more, and you'll pay more with other places. Not at SBI. Website hosting is not even the most valuable thing you get with SBI.

2. You get the 24hr 7 day help of more experience SBIers on this very forum: This is no small thing in this bad economy, it's not up-speak. It is real. Say you have problems with adding an element of your page and you're getting a negative response from the site analysis of your keywords etc. Who do you call? You call us, your fellow SBIers, worldwide buddies. At least one SBIer will always be on forum because we're global, baby!

The SBIers I've "met" have helped me beyond any other help I've ever received when I've started to learn something new.

You do not get this kind of 24 hour help, troubleshooting, support, backup, friendliness, and just plain go-out-of-their-way-to-help-you-with-anything-you-need attitude anywhere but here.

That said, keep it nice and pay it forward or someone will quickly call you on that bad attitude and lack of politeness before you can bat an eyelid. Blunt? Yep, but we don't suffer temper tantrums very well on this adult forum. But who does in this bad economy.

3. You get help from the SBI Support team if one of us on Forum can't help you with your particular issue. Now, a word about Support: it is a very simple process to contact support, they DO respond to you within the given time frames (follow their instructions, also simple).

They solve problems, they give a darn about you because you are their customer and they know the value of their customers unlike anyone else on the internet. Why? Because they know how a fantastic business is built. This is not to blow smoke because I've been told that before too (elsewhere) and I've been taken for a virtual ride, been lied to and had my money taken. I was suspicious. But from the first contact with SBI Support (I even remember her name, April!) I have experienced nothing but kindness, consideration and SUPPORT.

4. You get theAction Guide (in video or text format).

In order to make your site successful, you need to follow the ACTIONS in the GUIDE.

This guide has been constructed with the explicit purpose of helping those who do not know anything about websites to know everything about websites, how they work, how they are built, how you get your visitors to visit, how to find the right NICHE, what keywords are good keywords for traffic, what keywords are good keywords for MONETIZING, how else you can monetize your site, the foundation of Search Engine Optimization and why you won't succeed if your site is not optimized, the steps to take to do that very thing and SEO your own site....I could go ON and ON and ON.

Most important thing: To follow the ACTIONS in the GUIDE. To watch the video action guide or read the text action guide more than once. To take your time with it until you understand it well. Ask questions if you don't understand a term or step on the forums. Don't be shy!

5. You get BRAINSTORM! It. When you get to the day in the Action Guide where you are brainstorming your Niche, you will start to understand how very unique this technology is.

I must have spent 1 whole week brainstorming (don't just spend a day doing it because the action guide is in days). It's IMPORTANT you solidify your profitable, high demand, low supply Niche BEFORE you register your domain name, as per the AG.

You learn all about what a Niche is, how to find yours using your own skills and PASSIONS in this bad economy.

Brainstorm It! is not something you'll find elsewhere. Not with the tiny details you get, not with the valuable results you'll find, not with the myriad of useful extras that are found inside it. Use them well!

6. You get your own site email. Multiple emails if you like. Spam protection included. You can create wormholes for your email (to stop the spammers but let your visitors through)

For example, mine is billy@smart-trucking-jobs.com. (extra spaces are there to make the email link non-active for the purpose of this forum).

7. You get to learn about how important a NICHE is to building a successful and profitable website

You'll find more about this extremely detailed topic in the Action Guide.

8. You get to build your site step by step with Blockbuilder or Upload your Own HTML, whatever suits you better.

9. You get a Page Analyzer, to make sure you've got all your keywords in the right place, your best page description and title and all of the correct elements of your web page in their rightful place for Search Engine Optimization purposes.

10. You get Form Builders, an Ezine builder, Auto-responders, a Blog and RSS, a Special File manager (for additional files like video to add to your site), the ability to add extra non-SBI add ons to your SBI site (that's called InfinIt!). You will pay extra for these capabilities elsewhere but the technology of SBI is such that it's all there waiting for you. Cool eh.

11. You get more Info/Ebooks/Content creation/Monetization/How to guides than you can possibly ever read. You will find EVERYTHING you need to know that is even remotely related to building and monetizing a great site. Guides have been written by SBI (Ken and his Staff) and a host of experienced SBIers who are at a certain income level/traffic level. They are always adding more in this bad economy.

This is KEY. When you buy a domain at GoDaddy or some other domain name seller, you get a domain name. Hosting if you pay more.

You DO. NOT. GET. INFO. ON. HOW. TO. ACTUALLY. MAKE. YOUR. SITE. SUCCESSFUL.

All of the aforementioned guides are found, always for FREE, within your Site Central (at the bottom) and within FindIt! http://findit.sitesell.com/

12. You get the knowledge that if it worked for someone else, it can work for you too.

The guides aren't just for genius's. I'm not even remotely close to genius. I have learned ALL I know about websites from SBI's guides, people on forum, and the Action Guide. Haven't even scratched the surface yet and am certainly not making anywhere near the level of a lot of the successful SBIers.

13. You get the HOW of building Traffic, in simple to understand terms.

This is so important. No traffic = No money for you. Build your traffic the SBI way and the money will surely follow. And that is great news in this bad economy.

14. You get Sitesell's Unique Content 2.0 - a Traffic builder if ever I saw one. This element will have your own visitors building pages for your website. More pages = more traffic. The search engines love websites that are adding more and more pages cause they can then send you more and more traffic, they see you're not just some one page, fly-by-night-get-rich-quick scheme and that you're providing valuable info that your visitors actually like and respond to.

15. You get SBI submitting your site to search engines and doing all of the back-end work that most people don't have a clue about (myself included). Signup with a simple web host like Godaddy or similar, and you'll need to do all of that yourself in this bad economy

15. You get PROOF that this, in fact, does work for real people --> tonnes of Case Studies of real SBI website owners. You can do your own research to back up your findings, visit their sites, email them to make sure they're not robots, look them up on the search engines, check their Alexa ranking and their Page Rank with google, see how many backlinks their site has. All the important stuff.

16. You get A money back guarantee. Yep, money back guarantee too. As SBI put it: "No time limits. Ask for your money back anytime. SiteSell.com will refund you 100% within the first 30 days of purchase, and on a pro-rata basis after that." What could be better than that in this bad economy.

This page is also available in French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Italian an Chinese.
