How do you create an online presence? How do you sell your services online? How do you effectively bring in customers?

In order to sell your services online, you could build a web site that:

• introduces you as the expert, and builds your credibility with your visitor
• effectively targets various appropriate keyword phrases to ensure that the people who need your service find your Web site
• provides the visitor with some free valuable information on your site, and/or in your free opt-in e-zine.

There is plenty of possible software and information and advice offered on the Internet. I’m not sure which is worse… the overpriced products that under-deliver, or all the free info available, most of which is hard to tell if it works. It still costs you something … your time.
There are plenty of ways claiming to be the best approach, some explained in detail, some free, some with upsells to the so-called ’secrets’, and some shamelessly overpriced.

Here is one approach:

The Service Sellers Masters Course

“the complete resource for building a client base for your service-oriented business, whether your clients are around the world… or around the block.”
This proclaims a 10-DAY course focusing on helping you, the Service Seller, create an online brand. It leads you, step by digestible step, in a day by day mode (not necessarily 24 hours), through a process…

• from developing a Site Concept
• to brainstorming hundreds of potential related keywords
• to building a themed site intended to establish credibility and trust
• to generating motivated, targeted traffic that wants to contact you
• to nurturing ongoing relationships through a high-value e-zine.

The Service Sellers Masters Course takes you  through the steps of a site-building and client-building process.

Now, this course is offered for … free?
Actually, the “price” is only one of the parts. The best thing about the Service Sellers Masters Course is the clear, step-by-step, day-by-day content that lays out a process. But does it really work?

The Service Sellers Masters Course shows any newbie possible ways to attract potential clients and how they could be converted into paying customers that want your service. And it also shows you how to build secondary income by representing other merchants’ products through affiliate programs.

This Masters Course is quite comprehensive. Many topics are covered that a newcomer to the Internet and Internet Marketing may have been challenged at understanding.  There is some useful and necessary information that anyone considering an Internet marketing campaign needs to be aware of.

Actually it’s better than many other “how-to” course or book available anywhere, and it is free … but it does raise a question.

Why would SiteSell.com, the originators of this course, give it all away? Because they’re hoping that you’ll buy their product, Site Build It! or SBI! You do not have to, of course. But the big incentive to the giveaway advice is to sign up for the Site Build It! package of hosting and services, plus access to forums and assistance. And all these come at a price. You can pay for all these items separately and at much lower cost. The unique sales proposition is that is is bundled together for you, and is payable as a yearly subscription.

A lot of the info you need to begin an online strategy is contained in The Service Sellers Masters Course.

And while I don’t totally endorse SBI! as the perfect system for building a profitable service business online, you may well find that the free course itself is really all you need. Site Build It! or SBI! provides the tools to implement it easier and faster. Whether these tools are worth it or even effective is another story. Is Site Build It a scam?

Many other outfits have packaged similar components to offer a site in a box kind of experience. Most have fallen by the wayside. Some pop up anew and flame out. SBI! has endured as a longer lasting system.

The Service Sellers Master Course may be all you need to get you to start an online business with some knowledge of the pieces required.  This Course will help you plan a “theme-based content site”.  Will it attract targeted potential new clients, establish your credibility, inspires trust and bring in prospective clients who wants to learn more about your service? Maybe. But it’s not all you need and it’s not the only way. And it may not be right for you. It is not about selling a product or advertising, or straight niche affiliate marketing.

This is a loss leader to bring you into the Site Build It! ranks and subscribe at a fairly high price to services you may not use or may not even work for your type of business.

However, without endorsing all the contents offered, this free book might get your idea juices flowing, and induce you to explore more options and cheaper choices.
