Have You Succumbed to the Lure of the Speed of the Web?

I remember my first foray into the online world way back in the late September of 2003. It was when we were switched on to broadband here in the wilds of North West Durham, in the UK.Until then I had only used the internet for minutes at a time (on dial up) and only for the most necessary tasks in my longstanding, and stress-laden offline business.
Now that I had a 24/7 super-speed connection, there was no stopping me. I wanted to know everything I could about building a business online and becoming stinking rich, without all the trials and tribulations that accompanied my traditional bricks-and-mortar operation.
This was going to be the “Magic Bullet”!
Literally the first name I uncovered during my research was a company called Site Sell. I’d be very surprised if you’ve not heard the name yourself, but if not then I’ll tell you more in a moment.
I spent hours reading through the company’s excellent information about their unique approach to building a business online. Although I was a little skeptical, I kept on reading and writing. I then made my very first purchase online, which was an ebook written by the company’s CEO, I’ll tell you more about this person in a moment.
I read the book from cover to cover twice and thought “Hey, this is the answer. I’ll go with this system and I’ll be fine”. Yes, it was going to be a bit of work and take time but I felt it was the correct way to go. However, before I clicked the Site Sell buy button, which would by now have totally changed my life, I saw another link to another company, purporting to do the same thing, only faster. Then there was another, then another… Blah, blah, blah - You know exactly what I’m saying don’t you?
Before long I was suffocating under tons and tons of online marketing noise and blather. Every time I tried to get back to square one, I’d find myself swept back down the online rapids, paralyzed by the sheer volume of information and counter information.
The upshot is I didn’t start to build my online business using Site Sell’s premier product “Site Build It!” until quite recently. I’ve literally lost 4+ years of what could have now been a thriving online enterprise. However, I’m doing it now (not in the fast lane… this is at a slow and easy pace and you know, it’s a pleasure to do and working out just fine).
Why am I telling you this? I assume you are in a similar position in that you want to get a profitable online business up and running as quickly as possible. If that’s the case take a bit of advice from someone who fell right into all the online marketing traps. Slower is faster when it comes to building your business online.
The folks at SiteSell are always on the cutting edge of everything e-business. They’ve helped tens of thousands of people launch successful Web businesses with “Site Build It” also known as SBI!.
SiteSell has an absolutely unique perspective about business, and life. Take a peek inside the world of SiteSell at this blog post by the person I like to think of as the Grandaddy of successful online business, Ken Evoy, SiteSell’s CEO.
Ken has strong feelings about how even seasoned business people succumb to “the lure of the speed of the Web”… Get ready because in the busy and noisy blogosphere, you’re in for some quiet, original, and valuable thinking, not to mention unique insights into SiteSell itself.
Here’s the link to Ken’s post again.
All the best,
Dave.
