Dear MYSS! 2002 Owner, Thank you for downloading the now-free MYSS! 2002. It really was the BIBLE of selling online. Praised universally, it has sold well over 100,000 copies, all through the sitesell.com site. Way back in 1999, when MYSS! was first launched, this "Read Me First" file said, "never has it been so cheap AND possible to build a business." It continued by saying, "Search Engines are STILL great bargains. You'll never get a better chance to attract free, targeted traffic." That remains true today. This file also implored the reader to "do more than read. USE the information. If you APPLY the lessons well, you WILL succeed." And THAT was the beginning of Site Build It!. Why? Because most people, most Webmasters even, cannot actually overcome all the technical aspects of building a successful online BUSINESS. Sure, it is cheap-quick-easy to put up a site. Anyone can do THAT today. But what then? Instant gratification is followed by slow, expensive failure, due to an inability to drive traffic. In other words... no BUSINESS. THAT is why MYSS! 2002 was never updated. Instead, it evolved year after year into Site Build It! (SBI!)... http://buildit.sitesell.com/ I guess you could say that MYSS! and MYSS! 2002 were the e-volutionary equivalents of "Cro-Magnon Man." Remarkable in their time, those two editions of MYSS! launched many successful Net marketing careers. But the "Big 3" (described in MYSS!) evolved into a fuller, more powerful process that became known as "Content - Traffic - PREsell - Monetize"... http://ctpm.sitesell.com/ And SBI! not only evolved the THEORY of succeeding online, it included all the tools needed for ANYONE to be able to EXECUTE the CTPM process... http://buildit.sitesell.com/main/tools.html SBI! uses technology to make all the barriers disappear and empower Webmasters and small business people to build BUSINESSES. Please enjoy this free download. MYSS! 2002 still contains a great amount of evergreen information and fundamentally sound ways to think about selling online. But there is much more to building a business than "The Big 3" and selling. For that, evolve to SBI!. All the best, Ken Evoy President, SiteSell.com -----BOOK LAYOUT-----> MYSS! 2002 is divided into 7 volumes... o The Main Volume -- focuses on site-selling. Everyone worries about traffic. But if your site doesn't SELL, you waste all that nice traffic. Learn how to increase your sales site's Conversion Rate. o Product Volume -- everything you need to know about developing, evaluating, positioning, pricing, and testing products for the Web. Use its info to verify that your e-commerce venture is built on solid ground. o Store Volume -- covers the process of selling multiple products online, from ten to a thousand or more SKUs (Stock Keeping Units). Learn how to design your online store effectively and to maximize usability. o Traffic Volume -- follows the "what works and what doesn't" approach to building targeted traffic (especially in the ever-evolving Search Engine world). It covers all the online and offline ways to build a steady stream of motivated buyers to your site. ----------------------------------------------------------- **NOTE -- much of the traffic-building information is of interest, but dated. SBI! has pushed way beyond this. *** ----------------------------------------------------------- Here's the bottom line on e-commerce... If you have a great product, and a site that SELLS, and can bring targeted traffic to your site cost-effectively, you *will* succeed. There are *NO* other variables.
