JohnDilbeck.com
JohnDilbeck.com is my personal site where I present information about a variety of topics. I have other, more specialized, sites and many of them are linked in the right column of this page.
I am a full-time marketer and work out of my home in the mountains of western North Carolina.
Over the years, I have joined and tested over 1,100 websites and affiliate programs. Most have not been worth the effort and I'll never recommend them to you. I've wasted enough time, effort and money for both you and me.
However, I've also found a few real gems that you may want to know about. At the very top of that list is Site Build It! I've been able to go from a part-time dabbler to a full-time marketer and much of the credit for that should go to Ken Evoy, Site Build It!, and Make Your Site Sell!
Now and then, Sitesell offers special promotions on buying Site Build It! The following graphic link will automatically change when there is a special that will save you, and possibly a friend or relative, significant money when purchasing SBI.

If you already know about Site Build It!, but have been putting off buying, today is a good time to get started. Why put it off any more? Buy Now!
Buying and learning how to use Site Build It! has been the best decision I've made in building my marketing business. Perhaps it can help you make a big change in your life, too.
I won't mislead you. Buying SBI will not make you rich overnight with no effort. If that's what you're thinking, don't bother looking at it. Building a business takes time, money, and effort over a period of months and years, not days. If you are serious about learning how to build a website that really works, SBI should be your first choice. I know it's my first choice, and I've built dozens of websites, blogs, and forums over the years.
If you've looked at Site Build It! and aren't sure if it is the right choice for you, I want to encourage you to ask your questions to an experienced SBI owner and user. It's free and there's no obligation.
Perhaps you've wanted to try SBI, but could not afford the full $299 annual subscription. Ken Evoy has decided, for a limited time, to offer SBI version 2.0 on a monthly subscription basis. That's right. Now you can get started with everything that SBI offers and build your online business for only $29.99 per month. When you start earning from your site, you can always switch to the less-expensive annual option at $299 per year. What are you waiting for? Subscribe to SBI version 2.0 and start building a real online business.

Who will you be a year from now? Act on your dream!.

Continuing Development
I've been able to build an income by marketing products for several merchants, all from the comfort of my home here in the mountains of western North Carolina, near the lovely town of Murphy, NC 28906, located in Cherokee County, North Carolina. One of my most recent projects is developing a new Murphy, NC Business Guide, which still has a ways to go.
I'll be happy to help your further your marketing with promotional products, but only if you are located in Murphy, NC.
For several years, I've been trying to decide what I really want to do. What is my main purpose? What can I do to help the greatest number of people? What is my dream? What do I want to be doing A Year From Now?
The freedom to decide our destinies and then to strive to achieve them is something to be celebrated. I believe that ordinary people, working together on a common goal, can achieve extraordinary results. I intend to put that belief to the test.
I succeed by helping you succeed.
Act on your dreams
I believe that you can make significant progress on becoming the person you want to be as soon as you decide on your major definite purpose in life. Who will you be A Year From Now?
Act on your dream!
