Why SBI?
I think that before giving you a little bit more information about SBI, it is important that I first explain why SBI did turn out to be the right tool for me.
As I stated in the About Me article, when I first decided to move online to build my business, I did not have the slightest idea what that implies. I did not have any prior knowledge of search engines, HTML, and web-design. Above all, I did not know what it takes to build a website to succeed in an online business adventure.
You see, anyone can upload a few pages and call those a website. Yet, when it comes to build a website as part of an online business to create a solid income stream, a whole new game comes into play. You need to know how to research and identify those topics that make sense writing about - topics that are not only in demand but that would prove profitable.
And you do not just write. You need to write with a twofold target in mind. First, you need to please the search engines to get as big a share as possible of the most valuable source on the internet - free traffic. Second and equally important, you also need to write in a way to attract your target audience.
Yet, this is just part of it. Getting the traffic is not enough unless you know how to monetize on that traffic flow of eager visitors looking for information, products, services, etc.
It was eventually through SBI that I discovered all this - a foolproof process designed to help ordinary but enthusiastic individuals move on in simple easy to follow steps towards achieving online business success.
So what is SBI?
SBI stands for Site Build It! It is a product developed by SiteSell to help one build an online business. You may say there are many such applications on the net. Yet being a person that has tried other solutions before opting for SBI, I can say that SBI is unique. SBI is more than just a website authoring tool or a web hosting service. Instead, it is a whole suite of applications designed to help one turns an interest into a viable online business solution.
It is the tool that is working for me. And I sincerely believe it should also work for anyone. SBI leaves you totally free to develop your web site content - that's your area of expertise - without ever having to worry about all the technicalities associated with running a website. In other words, all you have to do is writing about something you know and love.
No need for any programming skills, web design knowledge, or HTML. You do not even need a business or product to sell. Just put on the necessary motivation, commitment, and your knowledge or expertise.
SBI provides all the tools and services you ever need:
|
|
Fast web hosting service |
|
|
Brainstorming tools to help you find the right topic for your site - one that is profitable and makes sense to write about. |
|
|
A web authoring application to build your pages, but that still leaves you totally free to upload your own HTML pages built through FrontPage, Expression Web, Dream Weaver, etc., |
|
|
Search engine optimization checks that have never failed in my case! |
|
|
Extensive site statistics - more than enough to help you fine-tune your site. |
|
|
Website promotion tools to help you get the traffic |
|
|
Search engine submission: No need to check the latest conditions when submitting your site to SE's to ensure that you would not get banned; that is all taken care of for you by SBI. |
|
|
...and much more. |
In reality, the list of features is too long to include everything here.
Equally important, these tools come with informative guides that teach you how to make money with your site, no matter what your site concept is all about.
Some of these guides are even available free for everyone. Here is a free course which I particularly like and that teaches you how to write for a successful online presence; it is available as a PDF file which you can download from here: Netwriting Masters Course.
All this is complemented by excellent support. With SBI, you are not left on your own once you start your site. Support at SiteSell is always timely and professional. And this support comes for free; it is an integral part of SBI. Equally supportive are the 'User Forums' where other SBIers share ideas, solutions, and difficulties. These forums have always proved to be a great source of ideas for me.
As you can see, SBI takes an all-in-one approach that would eventually save you time and money.
Above all, SBI is a totally proven system that will help you ride over that much annoying web-noise found online by the many self-proclaimed web experts who come with all sorts of confusing, and at times contradicting theories of how you can improve your page ranking.
Thanks to SBI, I do not waste my valuable time on this. Instead, I just write my web content, use the search engine analysis tools in SBI and once my webpage passes the test, I just leave it at that knowing every page that made it through the process will eventually bring in that much desired traffic.
Would you like to know more about SBI?
I did my best to give you as much information as possible about SBI - in particular by sharing my experience - after all, this is my proof that SBI works.
However, there is no better way to get to know more about SBI than to take the Video Tour. This is a 30 minute demo that better explains how the SBI process works. It is worth watching and can turn out to be quite inspirational.
In the meantime, here is a short introductory video about SBI that would not take more than two and a half minutes of your time, but that still manages to explain the simple but important concepts that are behind the success of every SBI website.
SBI will work with any site. Any topic will do for a website that can earn you money with SBI. Just look at the hundreds of successful SBI! websites built by normal people like you and me to get an idea of what one can do and achieve. These sites are all within the top 1% of the most successful web sites on the web. (You can find mine under the electronics category.)
I remember when in 2003 I came across SBI, I was a bit reluctant to take the plunge and get an SBI subscription, this despite that it costs less than a dollar a day! Eventually, this turned out to be a big mistake as within a few months, not only I did not make any money, I even ended up spending more than an SBI subscription costs for a full one year period. Eventually, I decided to make myself a favor and got SBI!
You see, the good thing about SBI and SiteSell is that in the unlikely event you discover that Site Build It! is not the solution for you, SBI comes with 100% full money-back guarantee. When you think about it, there is all to gain and nothing to lose when trying SBI since it comes totally risk free; it is this that in 2003 made me try SBI!
How can SBI help you make money online?
There are many ways of how to make money with a good website and SBI. You can create your own e-goods to sell online, or move your brick and mortar business online to reach a wider audience. You may sell other's products for a commission, get paid for leads, referrals, and much more. But this is something you need not worry about as Site Build It! will show you how.
And in the process, SBI will help you reach a bigger and more profitable market for your niche while working from within the comfort of your home. This is what I am doing - reaching a bigger market thousands of miles away from home.
For some more ideas from what other SBIers are doing to earn money online, just have a look at the following case studies.
Many people tell me how much they wish they could do something similar... doing what they love most for a living while working from home at their pace and in their free time.
My advice is always the same: Stop dreaming and take the plunge, it is not difficult. Try SBI and build a website to transform your passion into an income stream.
All you need to do is to put in the necessary effort and commitment to succeed, but... if I have succeeded, so you can!
