Why We Started our Website - Part 2

Still just a hobby
But as I said before, my sales have suffered. My wrists are fine as long as I don't overdo it. But the fact still remains, this is still hobby income. We would like to make enough money to help us pay off our bills and still have spending money.
Even harder times
Living month to month is getting very difficult. With the cost of living rising over the past year, we have had to tighten our belts even more. It's sad to say, that the position many people have found themselves in as a result of the economic recession we're in now, is everyday life to us.
We've always had to watch our pennies. We've always searched for ways to make extra money. The internet has just made it a little easier. Thank goodness Cir used to work in electronic sales and we were introduced to computers and the internet in the early 1990's.
Our children grew up with electronics, computers, and the internet. We've used it to maximize the little business that we did do on line. That brings us up to about a year ago – 2007.
The continued search
We have always searched for ways to make extra money, as I said before. We were looking at cleaning businesses. (If I listed everything we've ever tried to do, I'd have to write a book).
Anyway, I found a site that I thought was interesting and we considered buying their ebook. I saw a link at the bottom that said who the site was built by. "Powered by Site Build It!"
I was the curious type, so I clicked on it. The rest is kind of history. Now were here with our site about multiple sclerosis. It's the closest thing to us. We want to help others who also have MS, learn how to cope with it just as we have.
A perfect fit
SBI is the perfect fit. We can both work from home. And we're still able to homeschool our teenage daughter. When health issues come up, we can step back from building it to deal with them.
We can work at our own pace. As slow as we want or we can do more when time permits. We realize we're building a business. We are building it slowly, patiently, letting each thing fall into place.
So many of the other things we've done, have been because we thought we could have quick success. Every single time, we ran into a brick wall. None of the other opportunities we tried ever worked out. Not one.
From a $1,000.00 website, to the $50.00 self-publishing company, to all of my creative pursuits. I must admit that I do have some limited sales with my designs, but not enough to make a difference.
Not just a website
We're building our site because for once we finally know that we've found something that is for real. A way that we can help others while helping ourselves.
We have so many days when we feel that MS and the challenges it brings will win the battle. But when we look at the progress we've made and the potential for growth, we have hope that eventually our site will be what we envision it to be.
If you've tried other ways of making money on the internet and have had the same results we have, all we ask is that you take a look. See the results others have had.
Read about SBI. Listen to the Action Guide. Read the stories of others who have been where we are. See if you see the same thing we saw a year ago. Hopefully you'll join us and begin your own journey.
