How To Build A Profitable Website With No Programming Skills

by 1 Comment

A website is your main doorway to the world of online business.

Is your business already online?

If not yet, that’s understandable. A lot of small business owners — I’m talking about traditional, offline businesses — are still taken aback when the thought of going online comes up.

The following are some of the most common hesitations for putting up an Internet presence:

  1. They don’t know how or where to start.
  2. They have no technical background such as programming, HTML, CSS and all that stuff.
  3. It’s expensive.

The last reason is the easiest to solve or justify. I believe that no matter how frugal the entrepreneur is in handling the financial resources of the business, once it’s demonstrated that a website can contribute positively to the bottom-line numbers, he would be convinced to jump right in and invest in having a website.

The Easy Way To Build a Website

SBI has all the right tools you need in building a successful online business.

So I think the very first task of the entrepreneur before he embarks on having a website is to really asses the significance of having it in the first place. One of the ways you can do this is to look at your competitors, especially those who are run by the younger breed of entrepreneurs. Are they online already? If so, how was the effect of having that website on their business versus not having it? If you are eating their leftovers as a result of that website, maybe you should be online now before it’s too late already.

As to the first two reasons, consider this: What if I can show you a tool that allows you to build, not just a website, but a real online business, without any programming skills required on your end, would you give it a try?

And if you are concerned about the price, worry no more! Your monthly investment is only less than 1 USD per day!

This tool simply works! Believe me, I’ve never seen anything that compares to this product.

The only requirements on your end, so you can get started, are the following:

  • You can use email. You need an email address and you have to know how you use an email software.
  • You can pay online. That means having a credit card or a debit card. But I highly recommend that you get a PayPal account for better protection.

Enter Site Build It

Site Build It (or simply SBI from now on) is a complete set of online tools that you can use to create a successful online business. SBI is not just your usual online Site Builder. With SBI all the right ingredients are already there at your disposal.

Here are some of the good stuff that comes with the package:

  • Domain Name Registration and Web Hosting
  • Keyword Research Tool
  • Market Research and Competitor Analysis Tool
  • Newsletter management
  • Form Generators
  • Point-and-Click Page Builder
  • Search Engine Optimization

I bet you can’t find those tools bundled in WordPress or Joomla or Drupal!

SBI is simply amazing!

It works. Period.

And by the way, those are just a few of my favorite tools in the package. There are a lot more. I think you should take a video tour of the product to see what’s in store for you at SBI.

Perfect for the Newbies and Pros Alike

One of the reasons why SBI is successful as a product is that it is so easy to use. You don’t need any prior knowledge of HTML, CSS, FTP, Scripting, SQL and all those technical stuff just to be able to use the product.

With SBI, you focus on the content: your articles and your message. These are the stuff that cement your online relationship with your clients and customers. SBI takes care of the rest.

It’s really like driving a car. If you step on the brake pedal, you know that the car slows down until it stops moving. You don’t care about the exact mechanism of brake system like the auto-mechanics do. You just know it works.

Priceless: Online Business Education

SBI! CTPM Process

I think this is the most important part of the package.
SBI is loaded with educational materials and videos called Action Guide that help you in building a successful online business.

It’s like having an online mentor who will guide you every step of the way.

SBI also follows a proven and tested formula to ensure your success online. If you follow this system, you not only minimize errors, your chances of success also increases.

No Risk To Try: 90-Day Money Back Guarantee

Think about this: your monthly investment with SBI is less than 1 USD per day!

90-Day Money Back Guarantee On top of that, the company also gives you a 90-day money-back guarantee. That gives you three months to try it and study it yourself. If within that time-frame you realize that it’s not the tool for you, you can claim your money back!

When you sign up for SBI, you will be getting a free domain name, too. If you decide to stop using the tool within the 90-day period, the domain name is your… you can do whatever you want to do with it. That’s the company’s way of saying thank you for trying the product!

In conclusion

I am a firm believer in idea that the entrepreneur should not be wasting his time doing the dirty works (e.g.: clerical works, sending fax, etc) of the business, but instead shift his focus on the bigger picture and the overall direction of the business.

When it comes to making a website for your business, you may want to outsource that task to a more capable service provider. That is, if you are willing to invest some money also.

But if you are on a tight-budget, there is a tool that can help you do it and it’s very effective. I would even venture to say that in a lot of times, using SBI is even more effective than hiring a web professional.

I love SBI and once you begin using it, you will love it too!

PayPal For Business: What Every Entrepreneur In The Philippines Should Know

by 11 Comments

If you are a Filipino Entrepreneur and you want to learn about PayPal and how essential it is in our business, you have come to the right place.

Let me introduce to you… PayPal Philippines. This article is presented in a form of Question-And-Answer, where I ask myself, and then I answer my own question. 🙂

Ready? Here we go.

What Is PayPal?

Quite simply, PayPal is an online payment solution that allows you to securely send and receive money over the Internet. You can think of it as a virtual Credit Card machine that sits next to the point-of-sale terminal, but minus the cute cashier and without the actual card swiping action. The widespread acceptance of PayPay all over the world makes it advantageous if you have a global operation or your business is operating 24/7.

Naturally, it fits well with businesses that have their own websites. But having a website is not even necessary for you to receive money. All you ever need to accept online payment via PayPal is an email address – not a website. That is, you can simply direct your paying client or customer to your account on the PayPal.com website and PayPal will take care of the rest.

Of course, there are other alternative online payment solutions available like 2Checkout, Authorize.net, iTransact and Google Checkout. But the primary advantage of PayPal is that it has a large number of user-base worldwide. It is available in more than 190 countries around the globe. And it is very popular here in the Philippines, particularly to the young generation of Internet users. Moreover, it has gained the respect of top calibre online businesses and it is the preferred method of payment on EBay.

Can I Accept Credit Card Payments with My PayPal Account?

PayPal is meant for that kind of business transaction.

It is a payment gateway that allows you to accept online payments from people using their credit cards, debit cards or their own PayPal Accounts.

What Are the Benefits of Using PayPal?

PayPal For Business in the Philippines

Power Your Online Business with PayPal

Aside from the ones already mentioned above, here are the reasons why you should use PayPal:

  1. PayPal is very secure. Their website says Paypal “uses the latest anti-fraud technology.”
  2. PayPal hides your financial information. If you have ever used your credit card to purchase online, you remember that they require you to provide at least three things: your card number, your name, and the Card Security Code. That exposes you to a potential credit card fraud especially if the website saves your financial data in its database. With PayPal, you only provide your PayPal credentials using your email address and your account password, nothing more.
  3. PayPal for Money Transfers. You can use it for money transfers and remittances to the Philippines, within the country, or anywhere in the world.
  4. Paypal supports multiple currencies. PayPal has a built-in Forex System that allows you to do business transactions using multiple currencies including our very own Philippine Peso and the ever mighty and universally accepted US Dollar.

What Is PayPal Account For Business?

There are three types of PayPal accounts, namely: Personal, Premier and Business.

If you are to use PayPal for business transactions, it is only appropriate to get the Business Account since it has special features that are not available on the simple Personal Account (individual shopper) or Premier Account (individual, non-business, occasional seller).

I Want To Set Up A PayPal Account. What Are The Requirements?

There are four things you need to have.

  1. An Email Address. Make sure you are using this one for business only. You don’t want to mess this up with your personal email account, newsletter subscriptions and things like that.
  2. A Bank Account. It can either be a Savings Account or a Checking Account (sometime called Current Account) preferably in the local Philippine Currency and in name of the business. This is needed so you can withdraw your money from PayPal and deposit it to your bank account. I would recommend getting one where Internet Banking is allowed.
  3. PayPal Bank Code. This is a Numerical Code assigned by PayPal to identify your bank. You can get this one from your bank or from this website. (See further explanation below.)
  4. A Credit Card or Debit Card. Get this one from a credit card company or check out with your favourite bank. I recommend that you use a credit card here. That would provide an added security on your part.

Special Note: A lot of local bankers in the Philippine are not even aware of PayPal. Don’t be surprised if they give you a blank stare when you ask about setting up a PayPal Account using your account with them.

The easiest way to tell if PayPal has a tie-up with a particular bank in the Philippines is to check its respective Bank Code from this URL:

http://pages.ebay.ph/bankwithdrawal/bank_codes_ph.html

That is the official website of eBay Philippines; PayPal is an eBay Company. That is the most reliable source there is. Don’t ever get it from any other websites.

I Want To Sign Up Now, Tell Me How

Remember to sign up for a Business Account. Click here to reach the sign up page from the website.

Alternatively, you can click on the image shown below.

Sign up for PayPal and start accepting credit card payments instantly.

Again, it’s for your business so get the Business Account.

If you should first try to get an account for personal use, I would recommend that you sign up for the Premier Account instead of the Personal Account. Who knows? You might have some stuff you want to sell personally so you can test your new-found PayPal Powers. 🙂

This article is intended to provide you with the essential information about PayPal as it relates to your business. As an entrepreneur, this is one of those important things you have to be aware of.

Hopefully, this article gets you up to speed already with PayPal.
