How To Make A Website Built Around Your Passion


Learning how to make a website around a topic you know and love is an exciting and challenging endeavor. This is especially true if you aim to create a website that will also become a source of income to you. As challenging as this road may be, the rewards are equally great. The prospect of taking ownership of your life on so many levels is a powerful incentive and motivator. The ability to reach out to people and be a positive influence in their lives, is priceless.

What Makes You Come Alive?




"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

~Howard Thurman


If you have read about Eli, you already have a pretty good idea what makes me come alive.

  • Challenge (as a door to freedom).

  • Adventure (as an exercise in courage).

  • Age-Old Wisdom and Life Truths (as a road to insight).

  • Learning (as an outlet for curiosity & open-mindedness).

  • Personal Growth, Self Improvement & Motivation (seeking the next level).

These make me come alive in a big way, which probably explains why Martial Arts, Zen and Travel have become such dominant passions in my life.

Then there is making a living. A person needs to put food on the table in order to survive. Where or when do the paths of passion and livelihood intersect? Do they ever intersect? Should they ever intersect?

For many of us passion and livelihood exist on two separate tracks. To build our livelihood around our passions, especially if those passions are diverse and unique, isn't a trivial matter. Yet, have you ever noticed how the word 'lively' is to be found in the word 'livelihood'? I don't really think that's a coincidence.




How To Make A Website Built Around Your Passion

A Vision Takes Shape...



I knew that I wanted to combine making a living with an area of passion and expertise. I wanted my livelihood to be a vehicle of self-expression and contribution; and I wanted self-expression and contribution to be my livelihood. I knew that such a synergy would bring with it much fulfillment.

While the martial arts are an exceptional vehicle for self improvement, motivation and personal growth, they aren't for everyone. Not everyone has an interest in martial arts. And even among those who do, few have the required dedication and commitment to continue training as a path for life.



Having said that, I knew that the lessons and wisdom in the martial arts, and other ancient wisdom traditions like it, had universal application. Anyone can benefit from applying this wisdom to improve themselves and their situation in life.



I wanted to convey the knowledge and wisdom locked within these traditions in a way that could be used by anyone - not just a martial artist; and that could be used for anything - not just the martial arts.



We all have a 'warrior spirit' within us; that part of us which is willing and able to fight for the positive and defeat the negative. When our inner-warrior is weak, we succumb to negativity of all kinds. When we nurture the warrior of our soul, good things happen in our lives.



I had the clarity, the motivation and the commitment. All I needed now was the right vehicle; a sound and reliable vehicle that could take me where I wanted to go.

An Unlikely Vehicle...




What this vehicle would look like - I didn't have a clue! I knew nothing of the online world of computers. Learning how to make a website, let alone establish an online business, wasn't a possibility that even crossed my mind.



Yet as life would have it, I happened to stumble upon SBI. In response to my clear intentions to combine livelihood and passion, this unlikely vehicle was delivered right to my doorstep. Talk about divine intervention!

This doesn't mean I wasn't skeptical to begin with. I knew next to nothing about the internet, and although I did have a masters degree in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, I knew nothing about online business building. Yet, there was something about learning how to make a website with SBI that made me take a closer look. I'm glad I did.

Taking a look 'under the hood', my curiosity was instantly piqued. I looked, I tinkered, I poked here and there - and the realization was quickly dawning that this was exactly what I needed. SBI had all the knowledge and step-by-step guidance on how to make a website that works.

A Business Philosophy With Integrity...




I read and re-read SBI's online business-building philosophy summed up as C-T-P-M (content-traffic-preselling-monetization) - and it only strengthened my resolve. It made perfect sense. I could see how it worked. I felt the process was one of doing business with the highest integrity - a give and take where genuine giving comes first. My instincts were giving me the green light, telling me to go ahead with it.

I jumped in! One of the biggest adventures of my life had begun...

Initially, I wasn't even sure exactly what kind of website I wanted to create. I had a general idea but I needed to focus. Fortunately, a built-in part of learning how to make a website with SBI is to help you zero-in on the best theme, topic or angle for your site. Following the process with diligence and passion, "Out-of-the-Mind Self Improvement and Motivation" was born.

The Reality Of The Internet




During my research on how to make a website, I found out that more than 99% of websites on the internet are virtually invisible. If your website falls into the 99% category of invisible websites on the internet, it means one of two things...

  • You create a website that is mainly for family and friends.

  • Or, if you do want to reach a larger audience, then you need to spend ongoing resources of time, energy and money to promote and market yourself and your site.


Neither of these options really appealed to me. I was interested in combining passion and livelihood, so the family and friends route was out. And I also didn't care much for having to market myself and my site. I wanted my focus to be on creating value. So, what was the solution? Although I didn't know it at the time, the answer was in learning how to make a website that people could actually find on the internet.

Stop and ask yourself, 'how did I arrive at this self improvement and motivation website?' Chances are you were looking for something on the internet and this self improvement website came up in your search. Part of the reason you were able to find it is because this website is in the top 1% of websites that are on the net.




How To Make A Website Built Around Your Passion

The 1% Advantage...




Learning how to make a website that belongs in the top 1% category of all websites on the internet means...

  • I don't have to market the website because visitors find me through the search engines.

  • I don't have to 'be pushy' or try to convince people to read what I offer. Visitors arrive on this site in answer to information or solutions that they are already looking for.

  • The website is found and read by visitors from all over the globe. It touches lives on a daily basis; the lives of people I have never even met.


Now that's my cup of tea! Knowing my passion and area of expertise was a good start, but I needed to combine passion with the realities of the internet if I wanted to build an online business that works. That's where SBI comes in. Without SBI you wouldn't be here reading these words. And I wouldn't have been able to create a website that you could easily find through the search engines.

Talk About Growth




The number of visitors to Out-of-the-Mind Self Improvement and Motivation is growing at a phenomenal rate. I started regularly writing content in the summer of 2010. Over the past 7 months (beginning January, 2011) the number of visitors has been increasing at an average rate of 50% from month-to-month.

Even when I don't have time to work on the site, traffic keeps on growing. As of July, 2011 this site receives close to 15,000 visits a month. With growing traffic comes increasing income.

Freedom & Independence...




In one month from now I will be moving to Thailand for a year to broaden my martial arts experience by studying Muay Thai - the traditional name for Thai Kick Boxing. Of course, I will continue to work on my online business while I'm there.

This is one of the truly amazing things about having an online business. With a laptop computer and an internet connection you can work from anywhere in the world. Now that's freedom!

I'm on target, moving toward my goals and living with purpose. Life is good.

Success Stories




Perhaps you see the potential in creating an income-generating website around your passion but are wondering if you can actually pull it off?

The truly empowering thing about SBI is that it gives people from all walks of life the tools they need to succeed. When an otherwise ordinary person brings their BAM (brains, attitude and motivation) to the table, SBI takes care of the rest.

Here are some real-life case studies of people like you and me who have created successful online businesses using SBI...

"It's been over a year now since I started my first website, which ranks within the top 1% of sites on the net and receives up to 1500 visitors per day. I now have a second site, and plans for a third before the summer of this year. I no longer work from home in the evenings and my income is constantly growing. Right now, it's double what I was making when I was standing behind a chair."

"I now have a business that I can grow over the years. A business that is fun. I'll never do a 9 to 5. I'll always own my own life. That, more than money, more than learning about the Web, more than anguilla-beaches, more than learning how to write well, that is the most important thing I've learned from SBI!. Own your own life. If you don't, what's the point?"

"SBI! is a gift -- there is no other way to say it. Thank you for this wonderful gift -- it allowed me to grow my business and help others. From my early days with SBI!, starting out with quality content helped me feel that I was giving something to people, rather than simply trying to "make money". So from the very beginning, I've kept the overdelivery (C T P M) model intact, and because I know every aspect of the site is 100% authentic, I never EVER worry about competition. I will ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS credit SBI with handing me everything I needed on a golden platter."

"I've said it before, and I'll most definitely keep saying it... Thank you Ken, for what you do and the way you care. I'm sure (with a bit of struggling) I could have gotten a website online without SBI! but there's a spirit to the Site Build It! community that takes the journey to a whole new level. Not just in terms of the site you create, but who you become and the LIFE you create in the process."

"It's so logical, so efficient, and the tools make it so do-able. But you still have to do it. While SBI made this possible, we built this business. So if you are looking for a get-rich-quick, Dr. Evoy would be the first to tell you to chase after these false dreams elsewhere. If you want to own a business that makes it fun to wake up each morning, I can't say enough how much SBI has impacted our lives."
