SBWS: How long did it take to start seeing some results? Rebekah: My editing business took off after I had an article published in an ezine with 50,000 subscribers. I wasn't expecting it -- I'd sort of forgotten I'd even submitted the article, because it was published several weeks later.
That was about 3 and a half months after I got online.
I started getting subscribers to Got It? almost immediately. People
subscribe if you set your "offer" up well. That wasn't tough to do.
I began seeing steady results beginning about two months ago -- not
a long time, but it's been a complete uphill climb. The supplementary income I've generated so far this month has my skeptical family impressed, to say the least.
Now that I'm getting to launch my first product -- followed by my second one a few weeks later -- I can only begin to imagine the income potential (both of these products are highly-desired with literally ZERO competition). I have a complete system in place. It's impossible to not make sales.
SBWS: Has your business benefited from the internet, if so how much business
is
related to the site?
Rebekah: My business was non-existent before the Internet -- it's completely web-based, so I attribute every bit of success I've had and have yet to experience to the Internet as a business medium. It's not a magic pill, but it's a darn good opportunity that anyone can make money with if they have a burning desire to do so.
SBWS: How is most of the traffic generated to your
site?
Rebekah: I get most of my traffic from reciprocal links I set up a while back (about six months or so) as well as online forums. Forums have been an incredibly valuable asset for my business. I've gained a ton of advantages that would never have otherwise been possible without my participation in these candid "online communities". Forum posting is one of the absolute most valuable tactics for branding yourself, building a respected reputation, and generating a steady stream of traffic and sales (for free).
SBWS: Can you give us an idea of how much traffic
your site generates?
Rebekah: Both of my sites get a little over 100 visitors a day. Not a lot. I'm relatively happy with it, though. I get a 25% subscription rate to Got It? News and a new editing project every couple of days. My main focus (and profit center) is going to be on Master The Basics, as well as the second project I'll be releasing within the next couple of weeks. I'll be getting into some joint ventures and placing ezine ads for those -- that'll get the traffic and sales rolling without much effort on my part.
SBWS: What role, if any do you have in the design and maintenance of your
site?
Rebekah: Complete. Like I mentioned earlier, I like having control over my activities. It's even hard for me to let someone else do any graphic work for me. What if I don't like it? I know they can do a heck of a lot better than I can but if I don't know how to do something, I always figure out a way around it.
SBWS: How much time and money has gone into the site?
