About This Site

About this site and how it came to be.

I'm not sure where it started exactly, it was somewhere around the time Captain Joe and I bought the sailboat. Oh the dreams we have for our upcoming life.

Did I mention that the boat is in Mexico?

We're not retired and we're not independently wealthy either so we come home in the summer to work.(we both have jobs that allow us to do that)

The plan is to spend the winter months on the boat in Mexico and the summers in Canada.

At about this time our daughter announced that she was going to start her own website which we found rather interesting since she had only purchased her computer the year before.


With no real computer skills she developed a lovely and well trafficked site. Once the traffic started coming she started placing ads on her site. Some paid per click and some required a purchase. Within a year she was making a tidy little income while staying home with her 2 sons.

We were asking lots of questions by this time. While we were working our butts off we spent time thinking how a year round income would free us to spend more time with the young grandsons when we were home.

I certainly had all the proof I needed
I had about the same amount of computer savvy that Michelle had and was ready to give it a try. I purchased my SBI! site and began work.

The learning curve was steep but relatively short and SBI! held my hand the entire way. From selecting a profitable domain name to monetizing my site.

They don't let go til you do.

Every technical tool I needed was provided in my package. No extra fees for domain registration. All I had to focus on was getting the keyword rich content on the pages.


On the boat we use solar power extensively as do most cruisers. Because solar energy plays such a key role in our cruising life we've spent countless hours researching it. What better to do with what we've learned than pass it on.

I was looking for the same thing as over 75% of the population is looking for. More control over my work situation.

All these people wanted the same thing

I'm not afraid of work, in fact I like to work, at things that I find rewarding.

I also want to keep my brain active and learn new things.


It turns out that for me, a website (or two or three) can be fun, educational and financially rewarding.

I've found the perfect job and I decide when I work. I couldn't have done this without SBI!

If you think it might work for you too have a look.
