For those that are interested, this is day 1 of my case study on the new BeBiz software from the Internet Marketing Center. In my last post I had decided to make the purchase and get in on the 28 day challenge put on by Derek Gehl from IMC and let you follow along to see if I can actually build a business from scratch and start making some money with this software.

I put down the chunk of change on the first day of the challenge, which is May 5th/08, nothing here to lose but time as there is a 100% refund within thirty days.

For those that don't know about BeBiz check out this link to better understand what is going on here.

After clicking the order button I received an email immediately with my password and login ID. The links to the two bonuses were also included and I have always wanted to get my hands on the world famous, "THE INSIDER SECRETS TO MARKETING YOUR BUSINESS ON THE INTERNET". This $200 book was included so this was a bonus I really appreciated. The second bonus is: "eBOOK PRO 6 BUSINESS EDITION" which also has a hefty price tag of a couple hundred bucks.

Let's get into the nitty gritty now:

I logged into the BeBiz Internet business builder and started my investigation. I found the layout to be user friendly and not too overwhelming, you know how it is when you get that new piece of software and look at it for the first time, it can be quite intimidating. Remember, this is the first time I have ever been inside BeBiz. For those of you that decided to become a BeBiz user, you know what I mean. I also hope you will contribute your thoughts on this case study.

BeBiz is laid out in tabs which are in order for developing your business. Our first one, of course, is to do our market research. The first step in market research is to make a list of interests that appeal to you. A great feature of this software is the fact you can't screw it up because you can always go back and change things.

For my interests I chose internet, cook, wine and theater and purposely made them broad terms. This will get narrowed down as we go though our research. Once the interests are chosen you just tick it off as completed which really helps to keep you organized. And don't forget, there is a video for each step just in case you need it. I found they run anywhere from 3 to 7 minutes but I haven't viewed them all yet.

Next in our research steps we will need to find synonyms for each interest. This is done very simply by using free online software. My personal favorite for this stop was, Google Set , Just type in your interest word and click, very easy. This process took less than 15 minutes for my 4 different interests.

Okay, next on our list are the action words to go with our synonyms. Personally, I am really impressed by the organization of BeBiz and look forward to proceeding. The action words are used with online keyword programs that are integrated right into BeBiz so no need to go out and learn how to use another program.

There are all types of action words to use such as how, repair, create, build and so on. The video suggested using "how" with the synonyms chosen in previous step. So, who am I to argue, I do as I'm told. I put in "wine how" and clicked submit. Several hundred action words came up on the screen such as taste, make, drink and quite a few more. It was suggested to use 5 to 10 action words, otherwise our keyword database will become too large, as I found out in the next step. After completing this step for each of my interests I ticked the completed box and went onto the next step in our market research.

The final step I worked on today was the hunt for seed words. This list can get massive but that's okay, it will help to better target our keywords and phrases. Again, this step is extremely simple too… Just choose each of your 4 interests, separately, click all synonyms and then submit. It doesn't get much easier than that. A huge list will be created, one of mine had over 3000 entries.

Well, that is what happened today and as you can see it was really easy. Anyone that can get on a computer and use the net should be able to handle this. We are all involved in writing articles and that is the main reason I am doing this case study. Wouldn't it be great to keep all the profits form your affiliate sales? You won't need affiliate programs as you will be able to make  your own product with your own sales page and not have to share the profits.

I'm getting a little ahead of my self here but it seems with all the articles we produce there should be more benefit involved. Of course, you don't need to have your own product, you can still be an affiliate representative and build a site with BeBiz software. Your own sales page for an affiliate product will definitely increase your sale.

Anyways, that is day 1 and it took me about two hours, including watching the videos and taking one ten minute break, All in all I think it was time well spent.

Watch for the Day 2, hopefully tomorrow. Thanks for reading and please leave a comment…

All the best,

Christopher Jay
