How I Built This Site
(...and how you can, too)

To be perfectly honest, building this website was one of the most challenging things I think I've ever done, and that's really saying something, coming from a guy who has a masters in engineering. smiley But the good news is there's LOTS of help in the various action guides, videos, help articles, and the very gracious SBI! owners in the forums, who actively practice "help and be helped."  

At any given moment, there are usually between 25-50 people online in the forums from all over the world; and with the thousands of help topics and hundreds of thousands of posts, the SBI! forums are arguably the world's best e-business forums.  

If you're looking for a good solution for an online business, I seriously doubt there are any better ones for the price, which is less than a dollar a day. Since 1997, SiteSell.com has helped hundreds of thousands of regular people build e-businesses that outperform larger competitors.

The best thing is this system is all-inclusive.....website building, hosting, keyword research, domain registration, getting listed & ranked at the search engines, automatic site blogging, 24/7 support, monetization tips, etc.  And another good thing is if it doesn't work out, you get your money back, no questions asked (pls. see my note at the bottom of the page).

Although I've found this whole process a little difficult, I've enjoyed the education immensely. I'd liken it to getting a masters degree in online marketing. Even though my original personal website was already over 12 years old when I bought my SBI! package, I've learned more in the past year about structuring a webpage properly for effective search engine optimization, finding profitable keywords, how to attract traffic, and how to make money with your site than I did in ALL of those previous 12 years. I've even cut some teeth in learning a little CSS. smiley

If you'd like more info, I suggest you view some of the videos below (watch founder Dr. Evoy's 3-minute video first), read a few of the testimonials I've selected, and review the various key features & benefits of the SBI! system. I think one of the most impressive pages I've ever seen on the SBI! website is the listing of hundreds of successful SBI! owners whose sites are all ranked among the Top 1% of ALL webpages (Remember, I said HUNDREDS, so please be patient, as the page takes forever to load.)

I believe my favorite SBI! success story is about a German lady named B (short for Birgit --yes, "i" before "r") who got dumped by her boyfriend, moved to Australia, and started a travel site about the Australian Outback (her testimonial is below). Her various sites now earn her several thousand dollars a month.

Oh yeah, I'd be remiss not to mention that SBI! is the only private sector e-business product that is now taught at over 30 colleges & universities, including the Univ. of Arizona, Penn State, and The Citadel.

Thanks so much for visiting.  Enjoy !!  

Cheers,
Gary

Testimonials from Satisfied SBI! Customers


Here are some short testimonials from real SBI! customers whose lives have been changed by Site Build It!:


"My goal was to build an online business that would generate an income equal (or greater, of course) to the salary I was earning. And also wouldn't be dependant on any country's economy (as my country's economy is in shambles...)."
~ Elad Shippony

"It's been over a year now since I started my first website, which ranks within the top 1% of sites on the net and receives up to 1500 visitors per day. I now have a second site, and plans for a third before the summer of this year. I no longer work from home in the evenings and my income is constantly growing. Right now, it's double what I was making when I was standing behind a chair."
~ Michelle Schill

"I was skeptical that I could get the visual feel that I wanted with a template-based builder. Little did I realize that SBI does not limit you to templates -- I had the option to "start from scratch" to create my own Web page elements for a truly one-of-a-kind look. I took the plunge -- "jumped in with both feet", as you say -- and as you can see, I used the SBI builder to make a beautiful site. I was surprisingly impressed with the flexibility of the builder."
~ Marney Makridakis

"What can I say? Life has never been better. Freedom is something that can't be paid for. It's not that I work less, I probably work more than I ever did, but I do it on my own terms. It doesn't feel like work at all.I am confident that I will never have to work for others again unless I want to!"
~ B. Bradtke

"Site Build It! changed my life. I know this sounds like a "cliche", even corny to some, but it is perfectly true. I now devote all my time at being happy and productive, with my wife, close by my side, making her own dreams come true. As we sail in the sunset ... it keeps receding, while remaining just as breathtaking. I am 61 years young, and having the time of my life!"
~Claude Jollet

"Now, I am a home schooling father of five, building a real business from home. SBI! gives me a global reach from my little town.

Key Features & Benefits
of the SBI! System


Intro

SBI! makes online business success do-able. Anyone can succeed with an all-in-one process, tools, and guidance.

You get more than just a "site builder." You don't need to worry about looking for separate hosting, paying for a separate keyword research tool, handling site submissions, integrating autoresponders, etc., etc. See the full list of features here -- pick the most relevant ones for you and your reader.

Niche Research

Too many non-SBI! sites start without profits being "built into" the process from DAY 1. It all begins with the right process. Content Traffic PREsell Monetize is the underlying, logical and powerful process that capitalizes upon the fundamental realities of how people use the Web. C T P M puts you on a solid, profitable business foundation.

Brainstorm It! is SBI!'s powerful keyword brainstorming and research tool. It helps you verify that your site concept has acceptable profit potential. SBIers are saved from making that common fatal error. With Brainstorm It!'s help, they know they are on track, right from the start. Brainstorm It! also helps you to find topics related to your niche that will pull in traffic and generate income.

Site Building

Page creation is as simple as riding a bike with its training wheels still attached. No need to know HTML. The block-by-block builder trains you how to write a page that is both "Search Engine and human effective." It's simple, do-able and most importantly, effective site-building. The block-by-block builder is perfect for beginners, but even many "advanced" users should start with this tool. It's an excellent way to break bad habits!

Since SBI! is compatible with popular HTML editors (ex., Dreamweaver) and image tools (ex., Photoshop, Flash, etc.), you can easily use advanced page-building techniques, if you like. This allows for maximum creative flexibility for all skill levels.

When it's time to create your site's Look & Feel, SBI! provides fully customizable, easy-to-use templates. You can choose and create a professional-looking presentation, even if you have no design skills. And if you're a designer, you can create and upload your own. This page shows a range of styles.

SBI! includes domain name analysis, optimization, and registration. You will develop the best name for maximum profitability in your niche. (It's often different than what you had planned.)

Fast, reliable, state-of-the-Net Web site hosting is all included with SBI!. You don't have to worry about choosing the right "hosting" features (size, capacity, etc.). Web hosting is included, no nonsense, no hidden clauses.

Content 2.0 allows your site's visitors to create content for you. Turn any page on your site into an invitation for your visitors to add content. C2 then allows other visitors to comment and rate the page much like on a blog. This means your site will have more Search Engine attractive pages. Having more site pages means the Search Engines will rank your pages higher and that leads to more traffic. A chain of events that simply started through the contributions of your visitors!

Search Engines & Traffic Building

To announce your site to Search Engines, you need to submit a specialized file called a "Sitemap XML" file. SBI! does it all automatically, a huge time saver, that enables you to quickly achieve wider distribution and attract more targeted free traffic.

Search Engine spider/listing/ranking reports let you see how your pages are being handled by the Search Engines. You can see what pages rank best and drive traffic. Each report's insights help you to determine how to increase traffic and monetization. Most pros don't have easy and reliable access to this type of information.

Traffic Stats and Click Analysis help you understand what your visitors like most. Understanding them helps you know what to write about, which in turn leads to more and more business.

PREselling

SBI! includes an easy-to-use form builder with autoresponders. You can build contact forms, surveys, and polls to easily communicate with your visitors. You don't need to use your e-mail address, which attracts spam. Experienced users will appreciate no longer needing separate form-building tools. Having these tools all in one place saves time and expense, too.

List-building and e-mail marketing are included (usually these expensive features are bought separately). Sign up visitors to your e-zine subscription list and then mail an issue to them. This repeat exposure builds a stronger bond with your visitors and allows for direct promotions to them. Deeper PREselling = More Monetization.

Automatic site blogging turns your site into a blog easily. You'll enjoy all the benefits of a blog without needing extra skills or additional software. For those experienced with blogging, auto-pinging for your SBI! blog keeps your site on the Search Engines' radar. All of this helps attract more traffic.

SBI! Community

The SBI! private forums provide friendly, helpful support from other Site Build It! users. Help is available from folks who are in the same place as you. This peer-to-peer support gets you over the humps along the way in a stress-free environment. Help is available even for advanced questions. The forums are a business-building support community ready to help you succeed.

SiteSell.com was established by Dr. Ken Evoy in 1997. His series of books have helped hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs and small businesses. Make Your Content PREsell! and Make Your Words Sell!, formerly books sold by SiteSell, are now free. They are literally the dynamic duo of "Web-writing."

No Risk


SBI! has a no-risk, 90-day money back guarantee. SiteSell.com will refund you 100% within the first 90 days of purchase, and on a pro-rata basis anytime after that. SiteSell has never refused a refund. Check out their track record at the Montreal chapter of the Better Business Bureau by calling +1-514-905-3893. You'll find that their record is spotless.
