Remember the good old shop from home days when the vendors came to your right to your door? I remember the milkman ... the fruit and vegetable guy ... and the bakery guy who brought my favorite spanish cake. There were lots of door to door salesman like the Fuller Brush man and the Britannica encyclopedia salesman ... You don't remember? ... Okay, okay my age is showing here! :0)

I'm not a shopper. I go to town as infrequently as possible. If I've had enough, I'll stop shopping, pay for what I have and go home.

I like shopping from home. Now you can too! I've put together bookkeeping store items that will help you with your bookkeeping and / or your business. All vendors have refund guarantees if you are not satisfied with your purchase.

Why leave your home office to shop ... when you can shop from your desk online any time of the day or night.

Turn the music player on (or off) if you would like to hear sample tunes while shopping.

SBI! 2.0

This is the product I use to build and maintain this website. It is user friendly and does not require you have tech skills. If you know how to use your email and internet browser, you can be your own webmaster too! You can read about how I built this website with limited computer skills here.

SBI! is a Canadian company with a unique all-in-one web package ... that as far as I know is not available anywhere else. The package includes:

  • a process (the step by step Action Guide in e-book format or on video)
  • software and marketing tools that are user friendly (including brain storm it, analyze it and C2 content)
  • guidance and help (through their support team, e-business library, and the legendary help and be helped forums)

As SBI! is the ONLY product I know of its kind, Ken Evoy works diligently and tirelessly to ensure it is the best in it's class. The features tht appeal to me are:

  • No setup;
  • Everything built-in;
  • All the information you need, organized and updated;
  • Consistency of process, help and voice throughout; and
  • ONE set of forums that covers pretty much everything, where no one has anything to sell but instead answers to help and to be helped.

You have two options - Build your website yourself or hire a webmaster to build your online business ... both come with a money back guarantee if you are not satisfied. Each option is highlighted below.



Site Build It!

SBI! Traffic Test

I could not afford the thousands of dollars needed to have someone else design my website ... this is the product I use to build and maintain this site. For the do-it-yourselfer like me, this set of tools is affordable at $30 USD per month (recession buster) or $299US per year (best value).

If you ever get stuck, you can always purchase Site Build It! Coaching Services to get you on your way. Click here for more web 2.0 small business platform details.

By the time you have finished working your way through the Step by Step Action Guide and Video series, you have the web equivalent of a Harvard MBA. If you are ready to learn how to earn, this comprehensive package is for you.
