Retired? Getting Close?
What Will You Retire To?
Ken Evoy
Founder of SiteSell.com
Hi, my name is Ken Evoy. I founded SiteSell.com back in 1997, at a time after I thought I had "retired" for good shortly after 1991 (when my second daughter was born).
Well, it turns out that we never retire for good... not until we expire for good!
Some of us need a challenge, something to keep us excited about life. Too many still need money. Many need both. Me? I'm just a curious guy who "got interested in the Net" after I "retired."
And that's how SiteSell was born, a company that impacts lives in so many positive ways. Retirement should be about "retiring" to whatever it is that you want to do.
How Can Solo Build It! (SBI!) Help You Achieve The Retirement You Want?
Solo Build It! (SBI!) enables you to achieve the retirement you want by building an e-business. Don't let that word "e-business" ("web-based business" or "online business") intimidate you. No need to be a techie. It's better if you're not.
"E-business" means that you generate income online. The best way to do that is by building a website that attracts free, interested visitors who find you by searching for the topics you write about on your site. You convert those visitors into income.
Why is it better not to be a techie? Qualities like common sense, maturity, and experience stand you in better stead. SBI! can't teach you those, but it can lead you through everything else. Oh yes, and "non-techs" arrive without any bad habits!
Click here for more information on e-business.
SBI! is absolutely perfect for you, the 50+er who wants to retire to activity (ex., travel), to freedom, to intellectual challenge... and to sufficient income to get everything you want from "retirement."
Thousands of 50+ers use and love SBI!. I will introduce you to many of them right here. You will, I think, be amazed by them... because they are just like you.

Life-Long Learning

You will find "Income Plus" notes scattered here and there on this page. Hover over each photo of a 50+er Solo Build It! member ("SBIer") for a brief, experience-based, personal memo.
A while ago, I was struck by the comments of SBIers in the 50+ers area of the SBI! Forums. We asked for their permission to share them here.
What struck me? Yes, income is important, of course. But what most impressed me was how important the intangibles are for 50+ers. Don't get me wrong...
Most start an SBI! site to build an e-business that generates revenue. And they do...
Most folks on this page have "Top 1%" sites. Most receive 1,000+ visitors per day. A few receive less, but even the lowest-traffic site (by a 91 year old!) gets much more free Search Engine traffic than most non-SBI! sites or blogs.
High traffic turns into real income. As I said, though, even the most successful (financially) have strong non-monetary intangibles on their minds.
For 50+ers, it's clearly more than just the money. Watch for the "Income Plus" notes... Each will tell you something special.
SBI! Spreads Among 50+ers Largely By Word-Of-Mouth
Income Plus:
Community
Jack Feka
Friends show SBI! to friends. Word spreads increasingly through word-of-mouth. They explain how...
-
the best part is that you get to have the "retirement" you want by sharing what you know and love.
-
you achieve that through a website that attracts people with an interest in your niche.
-
you convert those visitors into fans who generate income by clicking on ads, by buying products, or who otherwise "monetize" through any of 15 methods for you to consider.

They show their friends the step-by-step video instructions (the "Action Guide," also available in written and mobile formats), all the tools, and their own results (in the form of traffic stats and bank deposits).
They tell them about our Guarantee. You cannot lose if you try SBI!. SBI! owners ("SBIers") know us so well that they often tell their friends, who don't know us, that they will guarantee our Guarantee!
Only truly great products get this kind of word of mouth. (If you don't use a Mac computer, think of friends who do own one and who tell you how much they love their computers. SBIers are like that.)
We See 50+ers Start and Grow and Retire With SBI! Every Day
Income Plus:
Beyond My Hopes
Don Bell
Many 50+ers often start with minimal computer skills (just enough to find our site, order and receive our "getting started" e-mail).
They advance patiently and methodically to build satisfying e-businesses.
Before they know it, they know way more than their children (even the grandchildren!) about building profitable websites.
I love it when a grandfather reports in the Forums that his 24 year old granddaughter asks him to show her how to make money online.
SBI! is...
-
All about you starting and building a long-lasting, profitable small business online.
-
The only all-in-1 step-by-step system of process-and-tools that truly delivers on its promise.
-
Something that works no matter how little you know about computers or the Internet right now.

The Importance Of BAM!
Income Plus:
Welcome to the 2000s
Susan Koranki
I know what you can accomplish with SBI! because I've seen it happen thousands of times.
And I know that 50+ers do especially well with SBI! because they bring "BAM" (Brain - Attitude - Motivation) to the table. They bring it in spades. In 3 words...
50+ers Are BAMmers!
-
"Brain" = knowledge about anything (everyone knows something about something)
-
"Attitude" = positive, optimistic, can-do
-
"Motivation" = willing to work for one's goals.
(Beware! Anyone selling anything that does not require "work" is a charlatan.)
BAM tends to come with maturity. 50+ers have grown a tree of knowledge with branches of knowledge about many subjects.
Maturity brings a patient, reasoned and positive attitude.

91 And In Touch
Peggy Hanson
And the "new life" that starts at 50 brings the motivation and energy to make "the rest" into "the best," free of bosses and other roadblocks that may have held one back.
Many younger people want everything to happen yesterday. Worse, many of them seem to have a sense of entitlement, expecting good things to just kind of happen if they merely "show up."
It can take a decade or two of "real world seasoning" (ex., the realities of responsibilities, bad bosses, endless cubicle life) before one is truly ready to grab SBI! with BAM, firm in a determined decision to own your business, own your life.
Solo Build It! and 50+ers... Made For Each Other
Without BAM, you won't succeed with SBI!. Heck, you won't succeed at anything substantively life-changing. If it is worth having, it takes time, work, positive energy and persistence.
50+ers bring BAM... in spades. They are "BAMmers."

No "E"diot.
Sue Cooper-Dolan
And yet, before purchasing SBI!, many 50+ers did not, at first, believe it was possible for anyone to earn substantial money online.
If they did accept that possibility, they thought that they were simply too "Web-dumb" to do it.
These were the most common responses to a "pre-purchase survey" we ran in the forums. Most 50+ers who ultimately purchased SBI! did not believe in it, or themselves, at first.
And yet, they would remember us. They'd keep coming back, often after a failed blog or Yahoo! store or eBay effort. Some would even explain painfully expensive "Get Rich Quick" frauds.
If you have any notion that it can't be done or that you can't do it or that this is some sort of scheme, please put those out of your head and evaluate SBI! on its merits.
Evaluate the proof of success.
Evaluate the input from all the 50+ers on this page.
And then do what they did. Start SBI!, fully protected by the Money-Back, "Confidence of Success" Guarantee.
Start SBI! Today And Retire To Your Future!
Try SBI! and see for yourself. Using SBI! is the best way to experience its power and depth... at no risk.
You'll soon have a site that attracts warm, willing-to-buy visitors...
Your visitors. And then... Your customers.
You have a future (freedom) to gain, a past (knowledge) to convert into income, and the Guarantee means you have nothing to lose.
Malcolm Forbes (1919-1990) once said...
"Venture nothing, and life is less than it should be."
"Venture" usually implies that risk is involved, but not with SBI!...
How To Be 100% Sure Of SBI! At No Risk
As good as it is, SBI! is not for everyone. No product can be, of course.
The real question is, "Is it for you?"
Here is the fastest, most objective, surest way to know...
Purchase and then decide.
Take advantage of our Money-Back, "Confidence of Success" Guarantee. Use it to convert your purchase into a "no risk take-it-home-for-a-test-drive" trial.
Give SBI! a good try. Let your experience with SBI! speak for itself. After all is said and done, only your experience counts.
Try SBI!. Chances are, it will change your life, as it did for many 50+ers before you.
If SBI! is not for you, just cancel and refund (no reason needed, as the Guarantee says).
Total risk = $0.
Here's to a retirement that you really can live.
All the best,

The World's Most Helpful and Friendliest e-Business Forums
The SBI! Forums are my favorite spot on the Web. Dubbed "The Place For Friendly, Success Focused Discussion," SBIers from all over the globe learn from each other.
Some SBIers have answered 20,000 questions and up. And at any given moment, 24x365 there are always many SBIers in the forums helping out. Many used to ask for help. Now they give it.
I'm not just whistling Dixie when I say that I love these forums. I have made about 9,000 posts in the forums to help SBIers who range from "raw Newbie" to seasoned pro. Many of these posts are valuable new strategies, original ideas, and useful observations that non-SBIers will never read.
Access to the Forums is even considered by some to be SBI!'s most valuable feature. The SBI! community is the most generous group on the Net. It is the positive place to "help and be helped." What does this all mean?...
You build your business from the comfort of home. But you are never alone.
When I Retire...
I have long said that I'm jealous of SBI! owners ("SBIers"). Why? Because I want to do what they do.
If I wasn't "working" at SiteSell for SBIers, I'd certainly be one of them for several reasons...
-
The overwhelming usefulness (I could not imagine trying to amass all the tools I need in one spot).
-
The challenge and pleasure that comes from accomplishment.
-
The friendships in the SBI! Forums.
-
Frankly, I prefer making money from my passions, rather than spending on them.
My Idea Of SBI! Retirement
I'd probably be "un-retired" on my daughter's SBI! site about Anguilla (anguilla-beaches.com). It is the #1 site in the world on Anguilla, receiving over 1 million visitors per year.
She averages maybe 2-3 hours per week on the site since she was 14 years old. She earns $4,000 per month (she would be earning several times that if she gave this her full attention, but university and social matters are her priorities).
She calls SBI! her "slight-time" job. I'd love to make it my "full-time retirement."
My "retirement work" at SiteSell is work that I love. The "Income Plus" comments of SBIers resonate with my personal philosophy...
Make A Difference

Dennis Gourley
If we can say, at the end of this journey through life, that we impacted lives positively, that we left just a bit of this world better off due to our actions, and if we enjoyed ourselves while doing it, it will have been a life well spent.
Solo Build It! (SBI!) has this type of impact in two ways...
-
directly upon SBI! owners
-
indirectly through every SBIer who uses SBI! to organize certain knowledge into a site that is of value to someone else.
Every SBI! site owner, in his/her own way, can lay claim to adding value to this world.
-
When you put what your brain has accumulated on a subject into a website...
-
when you do it in an original and high-quality way (yes, SBI! even shows you how to do that)...
-
when you share it with the world in a way that gets found...
-
when you do it all your way...
Well, you have made a difference.
SBI! has a well documented track record of success, of impacting lives. Part of that success is the ripple effect of your success, of enabling you to reach your goals by reaching others.
"Retirement"... Time To Do Life Your Way
Income Plus:
No Tick-Box Here
Rona Sharp
Retirement is about doing what you want to do. You need income to have that freedom. Both freedom and earning income should be about doing what you like to do.
Some start SBI! for the money. Some start it for a challenge, to have a "project." I say... do it for both reasons. Take Claude, for example, who started with zero-knowledge and is now a prominent, confident contributor to the SBI! Forums...
Bored "beyond belief" by retirement, he "needed an intellectual challenge to wake up to, each morning." Like me, he figures if you're going to take up a project, why not make money from it instead of paying money for it?!
I'll let Claude finish the story in words and video...
It's been pure bliss. I supply the ideas, the passion, and the drive, in the foreground. SBI! takes care of all the tech stuff, in the background.
I "work" at my own pace, when I feel like it. My website is building increasing traffic and income.
With a mobile satellite internet system installed in the RV, I can run my small business while we explore the beautiful scenic regions of North America.
I have found the winning combination to a happy and productive retirement.

Who Really "Retires" Anymore?
Income Plus:
Identity
Wendy Fisher
"Retirement" no longer means to "retire" from the active world and disappear into a recliner. More people, at a younger age, are deciding to retire to a better life than they've ever lived.
Living life your way is all about gusto...
• Still working and trying to "last" to retirement age?
• Already "retired" and bored, limited by your income?
Make a change before it's too late.
The Internet makes possible a life of freedom and passion. Strong positive cash flow makes retirement dreams come true.
Freedom, passion, cash flow... put it all together with SBI!
Here Is The 50+er Reality
50+ers from around the world are using SBI! to create income-generating websites, real "e-businesses" that grow week upon week, month upon month, year upon year.
Many do it without selling a thing! Yes, no customers. Others sell products, either "digital" products like e-books or "physical" products like cacti or handmade furniture. Yet others sell services.

Kathi MacNaughton
Do it the way you want to do it. Work at your own pace (set expectations that are reasonable for the hours you devote to it). Learn to outsource to developing countries, leveraging your key skills, or keep it to "just you."
Young retirees... "older" retirees... those who were "retired" by their employers... it does not matter. Many barely know how to surf the Web and get e-mail when they start SBI!.
Now they are using "SBI!" to create profitable niche Web-based businesses. No niche is too esoteric. The number of possible themes is limitless. And the opportunities will only increase.
There has never been a better time to start a niche-oriented e-business, build traffic by providing what people want (information), and turning those visitors into income in several of 15 major ways.

Give Service
Kate Lindemann
Actually, hundreds of people are likely searching for a wide variety of topics related to what you know.
Deliver what they seek... information. Original, experience-based, valued information.
The best part is that your site generates income while it delivers what people want (your "been there, done that" first-hand experience and knowledge), 24 x 7.
Think of starting SBI! as an investment in your retirement plan. This investment is a teeny fraction of what you currently have in your plan. When you consider it like this...
You have a high Return On Investment asset that will prove to yield far more than any other investment you have ever made. High-yield investments are usually extremely risky...
Not SBI!. You have the added security of the Money-Back, "Confidence of Success" Guarantee to reduce risk to zero.
Would you turn down a high-yield, zero-risk investment? Of course not...
Invest in yourself for maximal, lifetime returns.

You Now Know All You Need To Retire The Right Way
SBI! works. If your SBI! experience is like most, you are setting a life-changing course.
You likely have doubts of all kinds. I would. So what? Do not let them stop you. Instead, answer the two simple questions everyone has...
-
What is the risk, the worst that could happen?
-
What is the potential reward, the best that could happen?
The answers...
-
Absolutely no risk. Whether you save $60 with the annual subscription or choose the monthly subscription, I will refund you if you decide it's not for you.
-
The reward is more than "money." It is what owning your own profitable and growing e-business means... freedom, travel, independence. Retire to the life you want.
It does not matter if you are still not sure if SBI! is right for you, not when you weigh the answers just above. Risk is zero. Reward is high. And when you do start SBI!...
The reward is 10 times more likely to happen than you asking for a refund.
Just get started, right now, totally risk-free.
If SBI! is not for you, just cancel and refund.
