| FAQOr, Frequently Asked Questions...An internet marketing tool/service that sounds too good to be true, as Site Build It! does, and there's bound to be question or three that you have. Well, I've listed some of the more common, frequently asked questions. I hope they answer your particular question, but if they don't then please do get in touch with me, and I'll try my best to answer your question myself. So, here are some of the frequently expressed concerns expressed by people like you... (Recognise yourself? ;-) ) Q.
FROM ALMOST EVERYONE... MY ANSWER... Well, it costs $US299 per year. But there are other services you 'may' want to purchase too. (See last question on 'upsells' for details.)
Q.
FROM A WEB PROFESSIONAL... MY ANSWER... Actually, I am not a newbie, and I'm a happy SBI! site owner. I've been online since 1998 and I only ever built websites myself, first using Allaire Homesite and then 'upgrading' to Macromedia Dreamweaver. And, I might add, I've been making a good income from these websites since 2001, when I decided it beat working for a living. Lol. Yes, SBI! is ideal for beginners - the block-by-block site builder is great, for those with no technical experience - but the SBI! Action Guide consists of a site-building philosphy ALL can benefit from. I really mean that. (And you can check out the SBI! Action Guide now, for free, if you like, to see for yourself!* ) Plus there's Brainstorm It! -state-of-the net keyword research tool. All Web Pros know the importance of keyword research. Then there's the Analyze It! module that tells you about on page search engine optimization, automatically. And Value Exchange that lets you build incoming links to your website. And... Check out all of the techie good stuff on this SBI! tools page. Suffice it to say, SBI! is NOT just for newbies. Oh no. "SBI! is for everyone, including the most sophisticated of professional Webmasters. Productivity is enormous. Results* are far easier and faster to get, no matter how savvy you are."
Q.
FROM A BEGINNER 1) There may well be a 'better' system for making websites than SBI! if what's important is building websites for the sake of it. But in my humble opinion SBI! is the best way to build a websites that WORKS, for the average person! That is, to build a website that a) you enjoy building (in the long term) b) your site visitors love visiting and c) earns you a regular income from a variety of sources. 2)
No, SBI! does not require any knowledge of HTML. It was designed in the 3) Your 3rd question is kind of to do
with market research. The REAL POWER As part of that research, you'll find many popular websites that already
rank well There's also Value
Exchange link exchange program that you can join that But building
links to your site is not an automatic process. It requires time, SBI!
is VERY comprehensive! This is one of its problems, as there really is Q.
FROM MR PROCRASTINATOR MY ANSWER... There is no time like the present. I started my second SBI! site in Feb 2008 - a year ago, at time of writing. And in another year I'm convinced this site will be earning me a 4-figure monthly income for me. Obviously, I need to do a lot of hard work between then and now, but I'm more than half-way there. And many SBIers start earning a decent income in less than a year. So here's a question for the procastinator in all of us: What did you achieve in the last two years and what would you like to achieve in the next two? One of the things I really like about SBI! is that it's great at getting you to focus. So that means you stop wasting your time on all those social networking sites that make you feel 'busy' but earn you $$$nothing, and you stop chasing the latest and greatest internet marketing whizz-bang 'solution'. Instead, following the SBI! Action Guide, step-by-step and day-by-day gives you a real sense of achievement, as your site - about a subject you're interested in, remember - comes one step nearer to being a source of regular income for you. And even when you can feel yourself procrastinating - because the temptation to put things off never goes away, for any of us - you share this experience with the excellent SBI private members forum, and others tell you how they overcame their own particular 'blocks'. Of course if you really don't have time, then you could always get someone else to do it for you at SiteSell Services. Or if you just prefer to learn and do this in a structured environment, then you can go down the SBI! eLearning path.
Q.
FROM ANOTHER WEB PROFESSIONAL... MY ANSWER... You're right in that there are some techie things that you can't do - e.g. run Perl/CGI programs - but SBI! websites can be designed how they want, if you have the design skills. (I build my sites using Dreamweaver.) And you don't need to use Per/CGI programs - as you'll see if you take a look at this SBI! tools page. Web Pros often have trouble getting their head around a service that seems to offer so much, for so little. Still, I consider myself a Web Pro - someone that has earned an income online since 2001. Yes, there are other ways you can succeed online, but SBI! is the easiest, step-by-step way I know. Easy being the operative word, as a lot of hard work is involved with any success online - but even cynical Web Pros know that! ;-)
Q.
FROM THE WORRIER... MY ANSWER... Yes, SBI! does almost sound too good to be true, I admit. And you are right to be concerned. But SBI! is no hoax! SBI! sites do succeed. And you only have to look at this collection of real people's SBI! websites: Or you could look at some SBI! case studies. (How often do you get to check out real-life case studies?)
Q.
FROM THE TOO-BUSY SMALL BUSINESS PERSON MY ANSWER... If you simply have not got the time to build your own SBI! site - and it will take time - then that's no problem. You can hire an SBI! Certified Webmaster* to create your SBI! site for you. This person will be an SBI! specialist - someone who has already created successful, profitable sites for themselves. You can learn more about SiteSell Services here!
Q:
AND WHAT ABOUT SBI! 'UPSELLS'? MY ANSWER... This is a great question. The prospect of "upsells" - having to buy something else to get the thing to work - etc. is not a pleasant one, and that is how many internet marketing products/services seem to work these days. Basically you do not need to buy anything else if you don't want to. I've owned an SBI! site since 2001 and only ever paid $US299 per year. However, there are some options you may want to consider purchasing, and I'll list those now: 1. Content 2.0 costs US$99 per year (now free!)
The Content 2.0 (C2) module allows your site to have web 2.0 functionality; i.e. I
don't use this module yet, but I will do very soon. It's not necessary to buy
it, though! 2. The "Do It For Me" service - SBI! coaching - 1 hour costs US$69 This service is fairly new and costs are reasonable, but I have not (and probably WILL NOT use this service). I think they fill in the gaps of the SBI! Action Guide process that you're getting stuck with. 3. The "Show Me" service - SBI! Coaching - 1 hour costs US$99 This is more like a bespoke help where you take advantage of another SBI-user's expertise. I've heard good reports of this service - 10 minute phone calls proving to be invaluable (the service is charged by the minute, I believe). Again, I will PROBABLY NEVER use this service. Neither of the above coaching services
are necessary. They are just an 4. SiteSell Services - SBI! Build Site For You! - US$1599 + $29.99 monthly Sitesell build your SBI! site for you. This is not necessary but could be a good approach to take and is DEFINITELY better than getting some other webmaster to build your site. 5. SBI! eLearning - Read SBI! eLearning page for costs NOTES: (1) for both Sitesell Services and SBI! eLearning, these costs are not extra, they are the total costs (and include your SBI! purchase of $299) (2) None of the services listed above are necessary purchases; they are options to take should you wish to do so (though Content 2.0 is a highly recommended purchase, I will admit) Find out more about these different pricing modules here!*
ANYONE
WHO STILL HAS QUESTIONS More SBI! frequently asked questions I've yet to answer: 1) Chances of succeeding
with an sbi site. Quick answer: good, but not certain. As I said at the beginning, it's easy to be cynical these days, and difficult to trust. So if you still have questions, then ask them - here! OR... Or simply contact SiteSell directly where an SBIer (SBI! Site Owner like me) will be happy to answer your questions - whatever they may be about, regarding the business of site building. This is the
direct link to SiteSell to ask questions about SBI! Just to say that I am a fan of SBI!, and I'm also an experienced site builder but I do know beginners love SBI! too. But I would say SBI! is not for everyone, for a variety of reasons that include being impatient for success, not being able to follow precise instructions, not liking the way SBI! does things technically... Anyway,
you can ask more questions via this link below - thanks. Good
luck with whatever you decide to do. If you end up buying SBI! then Thanks,
