Why are many working women trading 9-to-5 jobs for Internet home-based businesses?

The typical downtown office job involves a hectic daily routine combined with expensive and time-consuming commuting to and from work. For working women who are mothers, it means daycare expenses and the shuttle back and forth from the childcare centre. Now in the Internet age, women are going online and utilizing their expertise and work skills to earn significant income working from home. Home-based website businesses also qualify individuals for tax write-offs not available to employees in general. Women with online businesses like being their own bosses, and having the freedom to set their own hours. Most women report increased time with their families and a new flexibility in the planning of vacation time. Click on the picture below to hear Nicole’s story.

Why more than 90% of small business websites fail

Today there are more than 100 million websites on the Internet. Small business owners pay a lot of money to have someone build a web site and host it. Then they're usually on their own to face the challenge of attracting traffic to that website. Potential buyers use search engines like Google and Yahoo to look for a product or service. If a website is buried below sixty thousand other sites in a particular search category, it has little chance of generating traffic. The site just sits there in cyberspace. This is the basic problem faced by the small business website owner. How do you construct a site which reaches the upper levels of search engines?

Dr. Ken Evoy, a recognized expert on website traffic generation, has developed a comprehensive web-building system called Site Build It!, which has produced sites so efficient that 62% of them score in the top 3% of all websites in terms of traffic ranking. In other words, traffic to these sites is higher than 97% of all sites on the Net. In fact, 35% of Site Build It! sites are in the top 1% of all sites on the Net. Predictably, these sites are receiving higher numbers of potential customers, which greatly increases profitability for their owners.

On his site, Dr. Evoy briefly describes and explains how his system operates to deliver the high volume of traffic required to achieve success.
