Site Build It & Fishing Supplement My Income

My name is Craig Fiske and I am the owner of Freshwater Fishing Canada. I started this website in 2005 because I love fishing and the Canadian North. My wife Pam started taking her masters that year and I decided I wanted to find something to keep me busy.

I was also looking for something to distract me from my day job. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy my day job (mostly), it just isn’t a passion. Plus I figured it was time to stake a claim for myself on the internet. The problem was I barely knew anything about the internet and had no idea how to get started.

I searched online for services that could get me going but they all seemed way over my head. I then stumbled upon a company called Site Build It (SBI). They helped me create the website you are visiting right now.

Looking back, that day really changed things to the better for our family. Site Build It taught me how to take advantage of the internet and how to add extra income to our household finances. I didn’t have to be technical, I just needed some passion.

Frankly, I had never heard of SBI before. I began comparing it to other webhost providers and one thing became clear to me. Site Build It’s approach was (and still is) about creating long-term value for you and your visitors. This was a different message than the other webhost providers, and I found it compelling.

Site Build It’s approach is not magic. It is a common sense method to building information that visitors are looking for. But Site Build It does not stop there; it shows you how to translate those visitors into cash!

And it works.

The thing that helped me get Freshwater Fishing Canada to where it is today is their easy-to-use interface. On top of that, the support that is available from SBI and the thousands of other SBI users is amazing.

Outside of the support you get from SBI, the user-forums are a gold mine. It is a community of like minded people (similar to you and I) who are trying to gain an extra edge in the world. The advice, feedback and ideas that have been shared by my peers has been tremendously valuable.

I know I am never alone!

Many of my SBI peers have quit their day jobs (not me – yet!) and have the luxury of working from the cottage, the boat, and even abroad. I see evidence everyday that it can be done.

I won’t fool you. It does take time and effort. This is not a get rich quick scheme. But SBI has such a strong playbook anybody can do it. And when you achieve success, it is rewarding on a number of different levels. Not just financial.

The analogy I use with Site Build It is this:

Imagine you are going to build a dream business based on your expertise in a specific subject. The lifeblood of any business is customer traffic. The more customers you see, the better your chances of success. In the “offline world” LOCATION is the key to success. You wouldn’t build your storefront deep in a secluded forest. You want it at the heart of Main Street where the foot traffic is best.

Site Build It takes the same approach to building a successful online business. In the online world the key to your success is relevant INFORMATION. This results in strong, targeted traffic for your website.

Think about it. People primarily use the internet to find information. They use Google, Yahoo, and others to find out information about a specific topic. They then sift through search results to pick the link that they think will provide them with the best information. To be in the top 10 results on Google is the equivalent to being in the heart of Information Main Street.

Site Build It teaches you how to create the content your visitors are looking for. They teach you how to get onto Information Main Street. And they teach you how to convert your visitors into cash. Combine the SBI method with a subject you love and you will be successful.

I have tried other webhosts who promise high traffic and over-night success. The truth is it isn’t reality (I wish I had the money back I wasted). The best looking and most beautiful website is useless if nobody can find it.

For me, I love fishing. I really wanted something to take my mind off of my day-job. I wanted to focus my evenings on something I have a passion for.

Site Build It showed me how to do this.

The SBI approach helps me make money 24/7. By using the Site Build It method I have been able to focus on something I love, while supplementing my income.

Check out what my simple “information focused” fishing site achieved over a recent 12 month period.

Total Website Visits = 307,191
Number of Pages Read = 503,558
And the traffic keeps growing...

I want you to think of a topic or hobby that you know like the back of your hand. Imagine being able to take that expertise and talk to visitors (or customers) in a one on one setting 503,558 times. You only have to influence the smallest fraction of those visitors to make money.

If you have a small business, imagine being able to attract 307,191 new customers to your store. These 307,191 people arrive 24/7 because your business is open around the clock. If you have the information they are looking for, you become a trusted source. When you become a trusted source, you can translate these visitors to cash.

You can do this. I see it every day.

I am not going to divulge how much money I have made with Site Build it. But I will tell you this; our head is well above water because of the additional income. Income we have used to pay bills, take our family to Disneyworld twice, a trip to Mexico and the purchase of a new vehicle in the last 24 months.

To me, it is kind of hilarious. I mean, I write articles about fishing in Canada. As you can know, fishing is not rocket-science. There are countless topics like this that can generate income for you.

In fact there is an individual who is a Site Build It customer that has a website about juggling. Yes – that kind of juggling. His website is literally about juggling balls. I know for a fact he makes more money than I do. You can check out his story here .

If I can make money talking about fishing and he can make a living by juggling, I am willing to bet there is something inside of you that will help you change your life (I know it sounds corny, but it is true).

The trick is to find a passion and grab a hold of it. Find something you love to do and write about it. Creating information about something you know will come easy. You will look forward to writing every day. You will become the trusted source that people will want to do business with.

For me, I sell nothing. By placing simple ads on my pages, I have generated the additional income that has allowed my family to do some special things.

Take 10 minutes and explore the approach developed by SBI creator Ken Envoy. It can really become a life changing moment for you if you give it a chance.

Thanks for reading. I hope to see you online…
