The Best Home Business
My Success

My Success - I Finally found the best home business in the world!!

Hi my name is Catherine, I like my friends to call me Kate.

I live in Cyprus, on the South Eastern side with my
husband, Dave. We fell in love with Cyprus over 20 years ago.

Our Love of Cyprus

I met Dave in Saudi Arabia. He worked as an engineer and I worked in the computer department as a data processing clerk in a hospital in Taif.

Our first holiday together was in Cyprus. We really fell in love with this mediteraniean island. The people, the wonderful food and the scenery, There was something truly special to us about Cyprus. You know when you get a really good feeling about something or somewhere. It touches you deep down? It gives you a lovely warm, relaxing, calmness. For us that was Cyprus.

Whenever the opportunity arose, we would make Cyprus the destination for our holidays. Whether it was stopping off on the way home to the UK from Saudi Arabia or on the way back. It felt like coming home rather than just a holiday.

Back in The UK

When we left Saudi Arabia for the last time, we headed back to the UK, we thought - for good!!

We both found work, started a family, and settled into the average lifestyle.

Over the years as our daughter grow, we took her to disneyland, Spain, France, Italy; but we still went to Cyprus in between times.

As time past and our daughter grew, she preferred holidaying in Cyprus.

Leaving the UK

Looking back, we never really settled in the UK. I think we were going through the motions, living on autopilot. Gradually life in the UK became very stressful with work, cost of living, ridiculous rules and regulations. We got to that stage of "enough is enough".

We wanted a better quality of life for all of us. Our daughter was 18 years old, now, she wanted to move too.

We thought long and hard about making a permanent move.

We discussed it as a family, and made the decision - lets go for it!! So, we bought our first house in Cyprus. . It was the best decision we made.

Leaving the UK?

No Problem!! No Regrets

Moving to Cyprus - Our first year...

It was a great lifestyle change. Instead of wearing 3 layers of clothes to keep warm. It was t-shirts and open sandals for most of the year.

Lots of delicous fresh fruit and veg, (in season), nothing forced. Great!!

No need for central heating, imersion water heater, the sun heats the water.

No more big bills to worry about. Happy Days!!!

Our first Investment Property

After 6 months of living in Cyprus, we made our first property investment. An apartment in Liopetri, which we rent out, usually for long term rentals. Most times its rented by people waiting for their own new property to be completed.

You'll see our apartment advertised on this website for long term rental.

We're not on holiday!!

Living outside, sunny, warm, days, going to the beach, cooking on the BBQ, drinking wine, going out for meals (too often!) and meeting new people. Including others who made the same move.

"It really takes time for your body clock and your brain to reset."

When I did reset, to a degree, I realised, oh my!! I can't spend the rest of my life, just sunbathing, eating, drinking wine. My conclusion....

...I Need to Work, preferably a working from home business which would be great.

But what can I do...

My daughter was working, My husband Dave, for the first time in his life had time to chill out. "we're not retirement age" still in our 50s"

Me!!, I had a real hunger to be productive in some way. I like to be working but this time I wanted a work at home business and choose my own hours, being freelance sounded good to me!!

So, I started to really think about what type of work I could do and ad the same time build a home business doing something I would enjoy.

I didn't want to go back to a 9 to 5 job. I had tooooo! many years of the 9 to 5 regiment.

Ideally, I'd like to be creative, use my life experiemces and knowledge, keepimg in mind it had to be something which enabled me to choose my own hours and could realistically build a work from home business. I wanted something that when I wake up to in the mornings I would feel, enthusiastic and eager about. Sounds good to me!!

Time to fire up the Grey Cells!!

I started talking to myself - I know!! First sign of madness, maybe too much sun.

I gave serious thought and time to acheiving my goal. It suddenly dawned on me. I love Cyprus!!

I'm sure it's pssobile to build a home business about Aphrodites Island ...

Dave and I loved everything Cyprus.

Why not make a business out of it. We had the enthusiasm, knowledge and
passion for it. We had enough experience of the island, the culture, lifestyle, property investments, buying cars, importing cars, finding work.

The decision was made.

The question now was - How?

So I got connected to the internet, we had to buy a new laptop because our
old one was broken. I started searching on the internet, about "everything Cyprus".

It soon dawned on me that, 90% of the world's population use the internet to find information. I could supply information about Cyprus.

I would have to learn how to build a webiste. - Oh Boy!!

How do I build a website?

I searched the internet to find out what I needed to do. There are soooo many website businesses about building a website and web hosting?
I didn't know what that was. Eventually, I did...

But, I didn't understand the techie language. I needed plain english tutorials.

Finally, I came across a website called Site Build It or SBI for short, which
offered a website building package. They offered Free Video tutorials, free electronic books I could download, Best of all, I didn't need any special skills.

They made me realise that any hobby, skill or passion you have can be
turned into an online business. My new work from home business started to look more achievable. If I followed their guidlines I could even makd money. Sounded Good!

So I downloaded the free (ebooks) and watched the free Video Tour
If you'd like to read any of the free ebooks click Free Downloads then chose which one you'd like to read. Or do what I did, download all of them, why not!! There FREE.

When I watched the Video Action Guide and read the free
stuff, it made me realise that the internet isn't just for BIG Businesses. Anyone can start a business on the internet.

So, I finally took the plunge and signed up.

Since then its been an amazing journey.
I'm building this site with the help and support of SBI.
It's still a work in progress - so excuse any mistakes so far. The best bit? I have achieved my goal of building a work from home business. Yippee!!

"I'd love to receive any feedback you have about my creation" so far. I have some way to go.

It's been a year since I signed up to SBI. I publshed my home page
late January. I am working steadily, building more pages.

My Vistor Traffic is almost doubling every month now. I'm so excited about it. When I wake up every morning, I can't wait to login to my SBI account and check out how many vistors have been looking at my website. And even better, My visitors are returning here for more.

I haven't even finished building yet... and I have started to make money from my site already. It just keeps getting better!!

And I got what I wished for... A work from home business, doing something I love.

If you're at all curious to see how SBI works, have a peak at theVideo Tour it's Free. Many people have made enough money to enable them to give up their day jobs. These are ordinary people who have turned a hobby or interest into a profitable business, here's some success stories.

I'm sure your curious to know how I have started making money with my website.

Well, through advertising on my website. I've just started learning about the many ways to earn from advertising on my website. SBI teaches all the ways to make money with an online business website. Earning commission from advertisers, finders fees, affilating with major companies.

You see, having a website, is like having a shop with a big glass front where other businesses may like to advertise and they could help you by advertising your business in their shop window to.

There's one big difference...

...you don't have to pay the bills that come with having a shop.
It's a lot cheaper having an online business.

This is my success, building a profitable home business out of something I love. I suppose I could call it a "love story" what do you love? You could being making a living out of it!
