Will Wonders Ever Cease?

My grandmother used that saying when she saw color TV the first time. Take a look where HDTV is now and you'll know wonders will never cease.

C T P M is one of those wonders.

Ken said years ago Google and the rest would follow. Read what Google says in the Webmaster Help Center to see clearly what Google thinks of keyword rich informative content.

I have a customer whose Pay Per Click campaign expenditure recently increased 5 times more than he was paying previously. He was using PPC to a sales page type of site, not a content site.

That answers it all for me as to what search engines want... C T P M.

And that CTPM has caused lots of wonders in my personal life, too! It's been two years since I quit my job. I have not yet had to cash my last paycheck.

Since my last update, I have gained new team members and have ensembled these professionals (as a group, we total 50 years of experience) into one place, called CannonFire Marketing. You can probably tell I'm rather proud of my name and where it comes from, my family.

I consider SBI as my family, too. Thanks to all that I have already said about SBI in my original case study, our success continues. My passion for what I do is the "icing on the cake".

Lead Generation Via Service Sellers

I made the decision to brand our services and to concentrate on "service sellers" as clients. We learned early on that lead generation for our team's business was critical to our success.

To answer that demand, we have aligned with professional services marketing coaches in Florida and Oregon, with more due to come on board. Considering that just one of those contacts exposes us to hundreds to thousands of members, lead generation keeps getting much easier.

Our new CannonFire site goes up in early January 2008 and I will explain more about it in a future update. Stay tuned right here.

The result so far?

We enjoy business relationships with lawyers, marriage counselors, marketing directors and coaches... just to name a few. Our mission now is to take CTPM to the CEOs of the world so they know what SBIers already know. CTPM rocks!

In the meantime, I have my first grandchild (Samantha) to spoil, and for Christmas, the wife bought me a new ATV. We're making plans for a small cabin in a New Mexico forest area. It gives us the opportunity for some recreation and quality time with my brother and his family.

Success = Passion + Plan

Success has its benefits. I do warn you though. It is not easy and no guarantees exist. Passion wins!

My point to the readers here is that companies with huge advertising budgets can afford to go anywhere. That leads me to ask, "Why are they listening to me?"

The simple answer is we have proven that SBI!'s system works as have thousands more. Its site-building and business principles make perfect sense to people already successful at what they do. And, because we support a superior product, our credibility has increased.

To everyone that works the hours it takes to be in business online (no different than offline), I applaud you. And I say, "Never give up."

I used to think that being a home business meant competing with big business and less chance to succeed. Turns out big business is turning to what small business people at SBI already know.

If you are just starting out to create an internet home for your business, know this. C T P M is an unstoppable success story when you do it like the Action Guide says. If you are a corporate executive, don't assume SBI is not for your company.

How powerful are SBI!'s marketing principles that businesses from "mom and pop" shops to corporations can use them? Just as powerful as their total skills combined would be as one company.

You Are In Control

"Will wonders ever cease?"

With the proper passion and a plan, they won't.

But here's the key...

You must stop wondering, get started and don't give up.

The results of those 3 actions for me replaced a $100,000 a year job with my own company. Now I get to enjoy home more often because Cannon Ranch is my office. And that's also much of the incentive for me to keep moving forward.

Dreams do happen, and it's you who are in control of that.

My advice?

Only you can make a "wonder" happen.

Our success started from the SBI site that you are now visiting. Stay the course and avoid wild goose chases. SBI is your wonder-builder!

Thanks to all,
