My Story
Anyone who is seriously overweight will empathise when I say it can completely overtake your life.
When I was so horribly overweight there were days when I could think of nothing else. Every step I took was uncomfortable and although I would make endless jokes about my weight it was a cover up- inside it hurt very much every time somebody made a comment or jibe.
I realise I am far from having the perfect bod these days, but believe me, when you have been as huge as I was, to weigh 175 pounds is wonderful!
If anything good came out of my 'fatness' it is I have learnt and studied an awful lot about nutrition in the last 10 years. I have a genuine interest, which even goes a far as fascination for every new fad diet that rears it's head- I would LOVE that someone discovers the ultimate WEIGHT LOSS SECRET!
Of course in the real world
there is no 'One Size fits all' solution. Some people lose weight by eating low
carb and exercising, others manage to stick to a Raw Food Diet, and others find
success with a Low Calorie or Low Fat Diet.
There are so many different
diet plans out there, I recommend a just a handful of them on this site, as they
are short term, fast results plans. This seems to be the type of diet I have
used most successfully, although of course there are others who would prefer a
long-term steady approach.
When I bought my first
computer in the year 2000 and discovered the Internet, I loved reading up on
different diets and weight loss theories, and dishing out the perfect diet for
my friends.
That also led to the birth of
this site- I wanted to find a site that listed every fad diet so I did not need
to surf for hours- that got me thinking, "Why don't you do it
yourself?" Well I had a small issue
there. As a child I had even had a problem using a calculator, and at the age of
35 still did not own a VCR- I would not have been able to work the darned thing.
Since I have been able to give up working full-time, doing something I love, I cannot believe how much fun life is!
In fact I had never really
been very skilled at anything, probably why I had reached the dizzy heights of
kitchen assistant on the career ladder. The idea however, would not
go away, I began surfing the net looking for information on how to build a
website. There was so much out there it was completely daunting. I finally settled on buying
some software that was apparently so simple to use my granny could have built
one. Well, the software was
pretty easy to use, and after approximately four months of sweat, blood and
tears, I did have a kind of very unprofessional looking site that had broken
links, took ages to load and all that sort of thing. Even so, it was a website
of sorts, it had about 30 pages and I was very proud. I spent eons looking for a
hosting company. Again what an absolutely
daunting task- I mean I had an idea what a hosting company was but I was not
absolutely sure. Did I need one? Should I get a free one? And what the hell was
bandwidth and how much did I need? I did weeks of extensive
research into this issue and a multitude of others, and finally decided on a
hosting plan. After days of almost crying with frustration I managed to upload
my site! I was thrilled! I could
hardly sleep thinking of all the hundreds of people visiting my site at that
very moment and anticipating the complimentary emails and questions I would find
in my inbox the following morning! Needless to say when I woke
after a few snatched hours of excited sleep I rushed to my computer to see what
amazing results had occurred overnight- I was amazed to find not one person had
emailed me- although I was offering free weight loss advice. Not one. I was not too put out, as
obviously this was just another thing I had done wrongly- I had written my email
address incorrectly, and could put it right in a jiffy. Hmmm...That did not seem to
be the case the links were working fine. I called a friend and asked her to test
it for me, the mail arrived immediately. So what had gone wrong? After a few days I managed to
work out how to access and read my stats. (That’s where you can find out about
your visitors- how many, where from, how much time they spend on your site,
etc). What a nasty shock- apart
from a handful that were obviously a few friends, and me I did not have any
visitors! None, Zilch. That of course led to a
yearlong crusade of how to get visitors to my website. I spent an awful lot of
money, and many many hours learning how to do this. I must admit at the end of
all that I was not much the wiser. Information was conflicting- apart from being
very expensive. White hat-black hat, it was all Chinese to me, and seemed to be
an extremely lengthy process. I would spend weeks trying to optimise my site,
but then would read another article n how the search engines had 'completely
changed their algorithms' and I was back to square one. Finally I came to my senses
and decided to try Site
Build It! I had come across information
on Site Build It! many times whilst researching how to build a site, I was
tempted to try it but held back as I though other options were cheaper. That was a very silly costly
mistake I made. The
Site Build It! package is far cheaper than the alternatives I used, as you
have evrything in one simple to use package. That's right- absolutely
everything. It is a complete
website-building, web hosting, and marketing package. If only I had tred it
earlier I would have saved myself months of hard work and a ton of money! When I first had the idea to
build a site, I simply wanted to share information. I did not have any plans to
make money of it- I knew people did make money from websites of course, but I
thought the only way to do that was to sell something, like Amazon or Dell to
name a few of the big boys. Little did I know! Within no time I had my Site
Build it! Site up and running, (your are looking at it now!) and I learnt
that I could make money of the net too! There is a very simple way
that thousands of people are using to make themselves a tidy pile of money every
month. By adding Google
Adsense to your site (this is done very simply by adding a few lines of
supplied code to your pages, you can earn a very nice sum monthly which is
generated every time one of your visitors clicks on an ad! Yes! I now make enough money from adsense
and affiliate sales that I no longer need to work full time. I supplement my
website income by making handmade greetings cards which I love. Is this a way to get rich quick? No. When I began my Site Build It! site, I
already had a lot of content written from my other site. It takes time to
research your subject and write about it. For this reason Site Build It!
recommends you write about something you are interested in or passionate
about. This way building your site becomes an extreme pleasure and not a chore. It took about six months before I started
seeing some serious income. Maybe I was just lucky because I knew a bit
about a much searched for subject? No, No and NO! If anything, I would have been
better off if my chosen subject had not been so mainstream- there are
440,000,000 sites currently listed on Google under the keyword "Diet".
That is an awful lot of competition- however thanks to the Site Build It!
package, my site is doing very nicely thank you! Your site can be about anything- Click here for
some Case Studies. Can anyone do this? Absolutely. As I explained my web experience
was so limited when I began, yet I was able to put a site together in no time.
The Support Team at Site Build It! are excellent and will answer any questions
you may have within hours, sometimes within minutes! I have introduced two Stay
at Home Mums to the program, both without any previous website building
knowledge and both are receiving monthly Google
Adsense checks! If you have any questions about Sitesell, you
can ask here.
I wish you the Best of Luck with building
your own little Internet Empire! To email me personally, please
