NOTE: There are now 3 ways to create a Site Build It! site |
Hello, my name is Steve M Nash and I'm the owner of two SBI! sites: HowIPromoteMyWebsite.com (since 2001) and SelfHelpCollective.com (since 2008). But I'm also the owner of sites I built myself not using SBI! including TextMeFree.com (2001), ShopTour.co.uk (1999) and Photos4.co.uk (2006), and others - so I know a good deal about creating a successful website.
(Yes, I make a full-time living online from my websites, and have done so since 2001!)
Let me confess this to you right now: I'm a big fan of Site Build It!. Still, I understand that SBI! does not suit everyone. For example, I understand that the SBI! process can sometimes confuse beginners and frustrate experts - I've made my fair share of mistakes with it, too!. And that's one reason why I created this free guide to SBI!.
Anyway, Site Build It! is not an easy 'software service' to explain. So let me get started with my SBI! review...
Well, Site Build It! is an all-in-one internet business building system that includes everything you need to build a successful website, whether beginner or seasoned pro.
Web hosting and domain name registration are included and so are web page building tools (though existing site owners can use their preferred site authoring tool - I use Dreamweaver, for example). SBI! includes keyword research, search engine optimization and a complete guide to writing web site copy. And a private, invaluable, member-only forum (SBI! Forums) is available 24/7 for help, should you need it.
NOTE: SBI! is not JUST web hosting! There are many myths about SBI! out there but this one is the most puzzling to me.
Basically, SBI! is an education in how to succeed with an online business! Over 25 colleges and universities actually teach SBI! as a course to aspiring students. Students put this study into action straight away, and it results in their own money-making website.
New! SBI! now includes a module called Content 2.0 (C2) as part of the yearly cost, and, basically, C2 lets your site visitors create content for your site! (Read more about C2 on this SBI! tools page, and read more about what's new here!)
Ah, this is much easier to explain. SBI! is aimed at everyone.
Well, everyone ordinary I suppose unlike the man who created Facebook, or Tom from MySpace or those two gentlemen clever enough to come up with Google or internet marketing guru whiz-bangs like [insert your guru name here].
Also, there are some people who believe in GRQ (Get Rich Quick). And SBI! is not GRQ, so SBI! is only aimed at people who realise you have to work hard to make money (online or off-line), and they realise that any small business takes time to succeed.
Basically, if you have a passion or interest; if you can use a computer - and I guess you must be able to do that, to view these words - if you are determined; if you can follow instructions; if you're still reading... :-)
...Then, good news,
SBI! is aimed at YOU -- no matter if you're 16 or 91! ;-)
(Read
more about who SBI! is for here!)
Okay, this is fairly easy to explain. I think! SBI! is based around a simple philosophy known as C-T-P-M. And C-T-P-M stands for...
C - Content.
(Your website must have great content.)T - Traffic.
(No site works without visitors. The SBI! keyword research tool, Brainstorm It!, helps you create in-demand content.)P - PreSELL.
(Great content means visitors start to trust you.)M - Monetize.
(Once the C-T-P process is done, then monetizing is much easier.)
The great thing is, SBI! provides you with all the tools to build (and host) your site using this C-T-P-M site-building philosophy.
Using SBI! really does boil down to reading the SBI! Action Guide and taking the appropriate action, step by step by step! :-)
NOTE: The SBI! Action Guide can be complicated to read, especially for beginners but even for those people who know a thing or two about building websites. The clarity improves every year, but I do know that many struggle to understand what they're meant to do initially and some - like me! - miss important points. The easy answer, though, is to read carefully and read often!
Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: It depends! It depends on whether you have what the SBI! Action Guide calls BAM: Brain, Attitude, Motivation. It depends if you can follow instructions. It depends if you can ask for help when you need it. It depends how much you want to succeed and how big you set your dreams. And, of course, it depends on whether you can do what it takes to succeed; i.e. not quit.
Having said all that, SBI! works for a variety of people in a variety of businesses - as these real-life SBI! case studies show.
I would say that my own SBI! site took many many months of hard work to build, and it will take me the same again for each site I build to start earning serious income. (You can see how I came to build a self-help website called SelfHelpCollective.com in my SBI! Diary.)
So I will stress again that building a successful SBI! site - or building anything successful for that matter - requires determination; determination to press on when you're feeling a bit fed up or you're thinking that success is taking too long.
Also, if you have fixed ideas about how to build a successful website, you may well not get on with the SBI! Action Guide (there is no FTP or cgi-bin or PHP!)
Having said all that - yes, SBI! can still work for you, if YOU work it!
Short answer: US$299 per year or $29.99 per month
Long answer: there is no long answer, really - $299 is the annual cost of a Site Build It! subscription, and $29.99 is how much it costs for a monthly subscription. There are two other ways you can do SBI!, admittedly:
Both these other ways of doing SBI! cost more. Still, the SBI! that most people order costs US$299 per year or $29.99 per month.
Some might think these costs are too high. Others - existing SBI owners, maybe - might think SBI! is the bargain of the century! Personally, I decided to go with SBI! to build my next web site because I wanted to continue succeeding online. And SBI! - with its ever-developing tools, with the support and marketing help available in the forums, and with its proven site building formula - offers me the easiest (and cheapest) way of doing this.
If my SBI! site makes $hundreds or $thousands per month, then I really consider $29.99 per month a fantastic investment. But that's what I think, you of course may think differently...
This leads me to the final part of this page: You and SBI -- the next step?
I've tried to be impartial in this 1-page review of Site Build It!, and on the other pages of Site-Buildit.com. I know that succeeding with SBI! will require determination on your part, and if you don't like following instructions or are in a hurry to succeed then SBI! is not for you. I've also tried to give as fair an impression of SBI! without overwhelming you with information.
