Hello, fellow Adventure Traveller
Most people we tell about our journey are surprised and either ask how we could plan such a trip or say a phrase like “if only I could do that”. Well, you can!! People have all kinds of excuses not to follow their dreams. What about my house, my mortgage, my job, my car, my family, my parents, my children? Well, what about them? If you want something bad enough, there is always a way to follow that dream. Or, as Walt Disney put it: OK, that’s easier said then done. But if you are scared to quit your job and leave everything behind, we might have the solution for you, and it’s called Site Build It! Site Build It! (SBI in short) can give you the opportunity to generate income by creating a business online. No, it is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It’s about starting a business (including all the hard work) around your passion. Your passion could be travelling, or a favourite destination, or anything else. In fact Site Build It! will also help in finding the right topic for you. What is SBI and why does it work?Good question. Site Build It! is a complete tool package to research a topic, create a website, and market it on-line. It combines all the technical stuff related to creating a successful website. And there is enough proof that it works: 60% of SBI websites are in the top 3% websites in the world. That’s right, these are the websites receiving the most visitors. That’s quite something when you consider that none of the SBI websites are owned by big companies, they are all small businesses.Back to us for an example. As part of our world journey, we created a website. Just to keep the people at home informed, but we also thought about sponsoring via the website. Patrick was working for a Internet company at the time, so we built our website using their very expensive Content Management System. We even had some knowledge about optimizing the website for search engines. So our website ranked nicely in the top 5 for the dutch keyword “wereldreis”. So far, so good. And in fact, the website was doing fine, informing people at home and attracting about 50 visits per day. But it never generated income, in fact we didn’t even know how to do that. Being back from our journey, we started a family (we have two young boys now), and we both ended up with different jobs. But our travels, and our website were still in our blood, when we stumbled upon SBI. Reading all these success stories made us wonder, and after a while we decided to give it a go. And here we are with our new website www.adventure-travel-tales-and-tips.com. In English, and created following SBI’s Action Guide. In fact, we didn’t follow it too well at first: the topic “adventure travel” is way too broad to be really successful. But, it has been only six months now since we started, and the visitors start coming in. The website attracts way more visitors than the old one ever did, and we now have the knowledge and tools to turn those into in income as well. We are still at the beginning, but Patrick started working 1 day on the new business, and Sabine also started to work on it. Our business is not only this website, but also helping other people building an SBI website. It’s fun, and we are happy with the extra’s it already provides for us.

We are Patrick van der Meer and Sabine Kuipers-van der Meer, builders and owners of this website. About 10 year ago, we got addicted to the alternative way of travelling. Not just a sun-vacation, but active, and adventurous. It finally ended up in planning for the Ultimate Adventure Travel experience: a world journey, which continued for 15 months.
