Service Businesses

Do you, or could you, sell a professional or personal service? Use SBI! to build a site with a theme related to your service...

• The theme-based content attracts targeted visitors (i.e., potential clients) from around the world if you have a global market (ex., copywriter)... or around the block (ex., fitness trainer).
  
  

• Your site's content credentializes you in the eyes of your potential new clients.
  
  

• Your e-zine (electronic newsletter) builds more and more trust... until you land that "first contract."
  
  

• Now, deliver a quality service, and you have a new, high-lifetime-value customer!

There is no faster, more cost-effective way to build your client base.

What kind of services can you sell with SBI!? That depends on you... what service do you perform for others now?

What skill set or knowledge do you possess that you could sell to others? Finally, what could you learn and then sell to others? Think! The answer is often right under your nose.

By "services," please do not think of Net-related services like programming or Web design (although they can and should be included as possible services). You could be, or could become...

• a landscape designer

• a cartoon artist

• an import/export specialist for Germany

• an investment specialist in Brazilian bonds

• an expert in Japanese netsuke

• an accountant with special knowledge of tax havens

• a copywriter

• a trainer (of just about anything!)

• an editor for medical articles

• someone who creates indexes for books

• a pharmaceutical expert

• a translator (do you know two languages?)

• rent a house on a Caribbean island

• and so on, and so on, and so on.

People will pay for skills or knowledge that others (such as you) possess, if it is cheaper for them to pay for it than it is to figure out how to do it and then spend the actual time to do it, themselves! So...

As you can see, the possibilities are endless. And SBI! is the perfect solution, because it removes all the technology and complexity of building and marketing your Web site, which lets you focus solely on growing your business, which means adding new clients to whom you sell your service(s).

Services fit into two general categories...

1) Services with a GLOBAL clientele
Let's say that you index books for a living (hey, someone has to do this exciting work!). There's a global market of authors and publishers looking for you! And you can use SBI! to build a Web presence that attracts targeted, motivated traffic, and sell your book-indexing service online.

Are you a copywriter? Database programmer? Sales professional? Corporate/tax expert in tax havens? Home schooling expert? No matter what you do, SBI! grows your client base -- best of all, they find you!

2) Services with a LOCAL clientele
For example, suppose you are a Jungian psychologist, offering a variety of psychotherapy services in Sarasota, Florida. Or perhaps you're a fitness trainer in Vancouver, Canada? SBI! shows you how to tailor its power to reach your local market and build a profitable base of clientele in your region.

Don't sell a service? So a self-evaluation...

What skills set do you have that others would pay to employ on a periodic basis? Or what could you learn to do? The answer to those questions will tell you what services you can sell online. And when (not if) you have the answer, SBI! provides the way.
