The Online Sunshine Plan

Site building made simple – as simple as possible, anyway.

In order to create some extra income online, you’ll need to build a website at some point.

Now, I’ve been building websites since 1997 when we used to hand-code every single page. But it’s gotten much, much easier since then. And in the Online Sunshine Plan, I’ve worked to find the simplest ways to do this. You should find a box on the right to sign up for a mini-course on how to build your own blog. That is, oddly enough, the cornerstone of how to get going online cheaply and quickly.

However, Online Sunshine Plan only goes so far – and won’t go any further – so you will probably need some other resources to help you on your way. It’s really just a start. If you’ve never built any ecommerce site before, it will certainly get you started.

As I said, I’ve been doing this research for years, and have some across several different useful sites (tons, actually). I’ve seen an awful lot of really bad sites, and some which were built quite professionally by people who had never touched an editor before. It’s easier now than ever before.

In this set of pages, I’ve gone the extra step of finding people who can help you. Not everyone has the several years I’ve spent in figuring out exactly what works for ecommerce, how to optimize simply for search engines, or how you find a profitable niche for your business. While this is all outlined in my book, you may want some additional assistance.

Now, to save you having to throw out that 97% of bunk I mentioned in several places, I’m including here the very short, short list of people I trust to get this job done:

1. Ken Evoy’s Site Build It – for building from scratch and lots of free and paid tutorials.
2. Visible.Net – if you just want someone else to build your back end so you can concentrate on what you’re good at.
3. Charles Heflin’s advanced training – whose Social Media Science is the penultimate in his field for knowing exactly where online marketing is heading.

Yes, two out of the three are affiliate links. So if you do your own research and decide to purchase their materials or services, this helps support my work in this area. (In addition to buying my book…)

Why you should check these guys out

Of course, I’m not going to just left you hang with this. I didn’t just build this website so I could sell you some other people’s stuff.

Each of these resources above have common unique characteristics.

• I’ve checked them out myself and trust them.
• They each give incredible data and tools to use, even if you never buy anything they offer.
• Every one of them has a long track record of success which is verifiable.

And it’s only when I started examining my own scene did I realize that these guys had all that in common. I’m only giving you these because they treat people like I like to be treated – a real honest, fair deal.

But there are only a handful of products and services which I trust to help you. I told you I got scammed more than once – so I’m a bit picky about what I tell by friends and readers.

But I’m not leaving you there. I’ve gone ahead and reviewed the pluses and minuses of each program so  you can make up your mind for yourself. Each one of these has their own page(s) and I’ll tell you as I go where to find their freebies (at least the ones I’ve found) – and this is all so you can make up your own mind.

Just check the links above for each one. They might have several pages on this site just to describe what they do – so make sure you do a thorough inspection before you just jump in.
