To date both sites are published and finally recognized by the search engines. I actually have a 1 page rank with Goggle on www.clocksaroundtheworld.com and also gaining on the organic pages on some keywords has placed my stores on pages 1, thru 5.

Most of the success is due to the training from PMI on the SOL software and how it can work for me.  There was so much to learn and all of you have been wonderful.  Honestly, I know without a doubt I would not be this far without your help and support.

 

My second store www.watchesandblings.com I pretty much built it on my own in just 11 days at 16 hrs a day and published it on the 14th day, with just a little help from PMI.  All is due to the patience and training of PMI coaches.

Last month I also received an email and phone call from a corporation that is interested in purchasing my Clock Store, (low 6 figures) and it made me feel proud when he said he loved everything about the site, the design, color, and product.  He said he could not believe that it was my first attempt and how great it looked. I told him about PMI and the help and support that I received. He just couldn't believe it.

Family and friends that see the stores can't believe that I did it myself with your help. They know that this is not my thing.

I doubled sales in 2009 to $29,000 despite difficult economy while learning from PMI about fresh content and to make updates about every 10 days – you have to drive for page 1 of SERPs – that’s where the money is!

I’m getting about about 2,000 visits a month. When I started building my store, I didn’t know what anything was, URL, meta tag – didn’t know anything – now I can keep pace!

PMI helped teach me at my level explaining every detail and I also learned from PMI that it’s consistency and everything works together, it’s a combination of many factors. The simplest of things can make a big different, I followed PMI’s advice and changed the shade of color on my site and my conversion rate increased

Anyone can be successful if they just follow the steps and put in the time and take it seriously as if you would a brick and mortar store. I could never have done it without PMI! I love you guys!

Thanks to Andy, Mike, Rich, Davin and so many that have helped me through this.  I know that the story would have had a different ending had I not invested my money and time and allowed all of you to help me succeed.  The money I invested with PMI was the best money I ever spent and I will recommend your company to anyone who asks.  I would say, to not invest your money and time with PMI would be like sky diving for the first time without an experienced pilot or sky diver.  Now that would be nuts!  Get the experienced help and land safely on your feet.

One more note is that when I started building my first store I found 2 competitors (in business for 5 years, on page 1 organic) that I wanted to be next to or near at the top.  Well that has already happened.  It is as exciting as they have made some changes to their stores that look like mine.  I think I am getting on their nerves. Yes!
