A Ridge’s Business Emporium Discovery

The Tool I Built This Whole Emporium With

✦

Every page you’ve seen here, the Emporium, the Tool Room, the sign-up forms and the emails that follow, was built with one tool: Builder by HBA, from the Home Business Academy.

Before this, I was paying for several different programs and trying to get them to talk to each other. Now it’s all in one place:

  • Websites and pages you can build without being a techie
  • Sign-up forms and email follow-up to stay in touch with people
  • Affiliate tools if you want to share it and earn from it

There are a few ways to get started, so I’ve laid them out below. Pick whichever fits where you are right now.

Have questions? I’m right here.

What’s inside the $25 Builder

It’s a lot more than a website builder

Most people hear “builder” and think websites. That’s just the start.

“Here’s the part that still amazes me: I just tell it what I want, and it does it.”

I don’t build most of this by hand. I explain what I want in plain English, and the AI builds the page or makes the change. This whole Emporium was made that way.
