Site Build It Reviews

I have used SBI to start 3 internet businesses in the past. 2 of which are managed through SBI and are fairly successful; the other one is not so successful and is now managed with a different host.

It is now several years since I first started using Ken Evoy's SBI. I now have a dozen sites and make my full time living online.

I truly don't think SBI is right for everyone.

What category do you fit in?

The Newbie
If you are a total newbie to the internet; if you have never built a website; don't know any html; have no idea about hosting and domains - then SBI is for you. Don't waste any time - it is made with You in mind. BUY SBI HERE.

Unsure
If you don't know what sort of internet business to set up and don't have a niche (or even know what one is) then SBI is a brilliant place to start. That was me a few years ago, so it is definitely right for you. BUY SBI HERE.

Offline Business Person
If you have a brick and mortar offline business and want to build your own web presence. I would say go for it! BUY SBI HERE.

Knowledgeable About Online Business
But if you already know about html and ftp; and know how to get a domain and how to get hosting; and know your niche - then I suggest you might prefer to look at XsitePro or a WordPress Blog.

Experienced Internet Marketer
If you are an experienced internet marketer I think you would be better off with another system - something like XsitePro or a WordPress Blog.

Site Build It (aka SBI or SiteSell) is a complete package for starting a website. But it is more than just site building software. It's a complete internet marketing business package. Within the system is all the tools and knowledge you need to set up and manage your very own web business. I am just going to repeat that - it will assist you set up a BUSINESS.

Within the SBI system there are tons of indispensable tools. One of the most important being "BrainStorm It". (You will get used to the "It" - all the tools are named like this). It is a clever tool that comes as part of the system and it will help you find the perfect niche and keywords for your online business.

Having used SBI for a few years now, I had not even considered this. I mean I get what I pay for each year and so what is the scam?

The short answer is there is NO scam - they are a reputable company, you pay for what you get.

As I have stated before SBI is NOT a get rich quick scheme. In fact, I can't even guarantee that you will make money using it; but it certainly is not a scam.

A few myths:

1) You don't own the domain name - totally nonsense!
Of course you own the domain name - all my domain names are in my name.

2) You can't move your site from SBI - totally nonsense!
I have moved a total of 8 sites out of SBI and have never had any sort of problem. Sure you will need to re-do some parts of them, but it's no big deal.

Why did I move them? As mentioned above I am now an experienced internet marketer and no longer need the hand holding that SBI provides. It's a great starting point but when you get more experienced you may find you don't need all the tools provided and can get cheaper hosting elsewhere. Having said that I still have two of my most profitable sites within SBI.

3) Part of SBI is the ability to provide newsletter and an auto-responder; now I have read that some are saying this is a scam, that it is not necessary. Well, I don't know where they learnt about internet marketing but nothing could be furtherer from the truth. Most IM experts including me, wish they had concentrated more on getting people signed to our newsletters.

4) That affiliates are paid a commission ($75) for every new SBI package sold. Yep it's true - click on one of my links, buy the product and I possibly get a commission.

So what? Most of the internet is built on this business system. Amazon.com was the first to promote it years ago as a business model. It's just like any commissioned salesman - you do the work, you get a commission. Just research 'affiliate marketing' for a while; to see what it's all about.

5) That SBI suggests you use pay per click (PPC) advertising.
SBI talks about PPC, it is part of learning about internet marketing but they don't suggest that it is for everyone. And it is certainly only something for the experienced to test.

6) That SBI is a 'cult'.
LOL - many of the owners of SBI get pretty intense; they really love SBI and don't like it when someone says something bad about SBI. It's a bit weird really, I admit that.

"I often feel that many of them are closed minded and won't consider anything other than what SBI says."

7) That the $300 per year is pretty darn expensive.
Yes/No. Sure you can set up a website for much less than that; my non-SBI sites cost about $70 per year to maintain. But... you still have to set the site up, have it designed, get it ranked in the search engines etc etc.

And unless you know what you are doing, it's going to cost much more than $300.

As I said before...

"If you are experienced then I honestly don't think it's for you but if you are a Newbie then I can think of no better place to start."

SBI has come out with an offical response.

It's a brilliant package for the person who wants to learn how to make money online but is not really sure where to start. The guide is A1 and very easy to follow - you won't find better. And the forums are useful besides my note above.

My advice is to just GET IT - the sooner you start the better!

Don't come back in 6 months like Kristie
