How to Build a Website

Stop wasting your money on get rich quick schemes. This is how to make a website that is profitable, builds residual income and is evergreen.

Anyone really can have their own business. But this isn't a one-trick pony type of gig - if you really want more than a blog or a simple one-page site, then you have to be willing to put in the work.

Having your own website takes time, and if I had to do all of the coding, HTML and search engine submissions on my own, I couldn't do this, But I don't do it on my own. You don't have to either.

An E-Business Solution

primary education oasis


I'm Shannon, and If I can do this, anyone can.

I have been a primary teacher for nearly 20 years. I am not a website "guru." However, I am fairly intelligent, have a lot of drive and am not afraid of a challenge.



Before July 2009, I had no idea how to make a website. I have no programming or html training. In fact, during my first - and only - computer course in high school, my friend did all my programming and I wrote her English papers in exchange!

(I know, can you believe I am a teacher now?).

I love teaching and I thrive on learning new things. However, I began to get frustrated at always learning new strategies and methods but not being able to effectively share them with colleagues.

I also knew that I wanted to supplement my income, encourage other teachers to use best evidence-based practices, and allow our family to become more self-reliant than job-reliant.

How could I tie making more money to my passion?


By learning how to make a website.


Shannon, Meet SBI!

Late one night I was surfing the web because I couldn't sleep. I was still reeling from the sudden loss of my mother and I had a new baby as well. I was really looking for something to do to take my mind off of the recent tragedy and I Googled key words like, "easy to build website" and "learn to build a website."

I started reading stories from other people who had done it, clicked on their links, and was finally brought to a company that caught my attention. I almost clicked away though.

Why? Because like you, I am a smart consumer. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. But everything that was being offered seemed like it was just what I was looking for. It seemed like something I could do with the tools and help that were provided.

You know how you feel when you really want to do something but don't want to be scammed? I had that feeling inside. But there was a money-back guarantee, so...


SBI! Quick Tour

I took a chance and bought SBI!.

I did not tell my husband because I really didn't know what to say or if it would even work, plus I didn't want a lecture about wasting money.

After all, what did I know about how to make a website? Nothing.

The first thing I was taken to was the Action Guide. It told me not to do anything - nothing - until I had read everything and watched the accompanying online tutorials. It also told me not to buy anything else. I didn't need it.

So I did. I poured over the information for a few weeks before I even chose a domain name. From there, I slowly began building pages using the Block Builder template that is provided.

You can certainly upload your own, but I still don't. Everything you see on my site is built using their templates in the fabulous BB2 - it has all the bells and whistles you would want for building a webpage, but you don't do any of the back end work.

My traffic started out very slowly. I really wondered if this was going to be worth it. I teach full time, am a mother to three boys and it seemed like this was taking over my left-over waking hours. What I didn't realize at the time was that this is normal - there is no Get Rich Quick scheme set up with SBI!

Then I read more of the Action Guide and applied it to my site. I added more valuable content-rich pages, got social on FB, and traffic steadil increased. People were finding me, liking what they read, and telling others about Primary Education Oasis.


Get More Traffic = More Income


As my traffic increased, I was able to start to monetize. I applied to affiliate programs and Google Adsense, was accepted and began to dream about those monthly checks. The first one was very small - in fact, it was so small that I wasn't even sent the check. It was rolled over to the next month!

So was the next one, and the next, and the next...then suddenly I got a check in the mail. My first one was only for a little over $100.00, but it was mine. After that, I started to get even more traffic and now I am receiving monthly checks from a variety of sources, most of it from Adsense.

During the second year of owning this site you are on now, I had to incorporate into a business.

I was making too much money!

Now this site gets over 60,000 visitors every month, I sell between $1000-1500 worth of ebooks every month and I continue to receive Adsense checks (but for much more than $100).

My husband (whom I finally told about it!) is so excited. He even encouraged me to start a few more sites which are now in the works. I am also considering having SiteSell Services start another one for me because my accountant has told me I need to spend some money or pay taxes on it.

What a terrible problem to have.
