Do you have any passion in life, anything at all you’re interested in?

Site Build It! (SBI!) can show you how to turn your passion into a business. Many “SBI!ers” have quit their day-job, and thousands of them are supplementing their income with the income from their websites, allowing for the little extras in life.

When I designed and put up my first web site, it looked pretty good and I was quite proud of it. I figured that I’d created a site advertising my translation services, so people would find it searching for translation services on the web. Boy, was I wrong! My site received an average of 5 visitors – per week!

Then I found out about Site Build It! (SBI!). It changed everything. What is SBI!, you ask? Good question…

SBI! is hosting, reliable hosting with unlimited bandwidth. And believe me, if you follow the SBI! approach, you will be glad you are not charged for extra bandwidth, as SBI! sites use a lot!

It is a block-building web design tool that doesn’t look like cookie-cutter websites. It offers vast design options, lets you design your own forms, e-zine subscriptions, all right in your browser with little or no knowledge of html, JavaScript, etc. If you can access and read this site, you can design your own professional looking site with SBI!

It is a complete web marketing package. The proprietary software helps you identify keywords with high demand that have low competition from other sites. It shows you how to create a site around those keywords, and get traffic to your site. It submits your site to the search engines, tracks the search engines spiders, and tracks your rankings for your keywords. Does this sound complicated? It needn’t be. SBI! does it all for you, and you don’t even have to worry about these minute details. And it shows you how to turn your traffic into income…

And SBI! comes with the Action Guide, a simple step-by-step instruction book on how to find your site concept, find your profitable keywords, design your professional site around those keywords, and turn your site into a business. Read the Action Guide, follow it, and you will succeed… Everything is laid out in plain English.

As a bonus, SBI! also comes with the e-book Make Your Content Presell! – How To Build Your “Brand Of One”, a simple guide explaining how to write to sell without succumbing to marketing hype. Don’t like the pushy, hard-selling, in-your-face sites trying to sell you health, wealth, and happiness? Good! MYCPS! will not teach you that. It will teach you to write in your own voice, connect with your visitors, and sell what you actually believe in. This is the only way to create a sustainable business.

======= Side Bar =======
MYCPS! is also available as a separate book for the outrageous price of (… drum-roll …) $9.95. Unbelievable if you ask me. And as if that wasn’t enough, it comes with an unlimited money-back guarantee. Don’t like the book? Simply ask for your money back. I seriously doubt you will. Think about it: How often do you spend $10 on something that doesn’t change you life… Buy the book here...

But back to SBI!:

I was so convinced of the product that when SiteSell advertised for a customer support position, I knew I wanted to join the company. You don’t often find a company with a vision like this. I had an idea of how successful SiteSell was and I certainly knew it was going places. From my own experience dealing with their customer support, I knew that the job was challenging and that their quality standards were high. In fact, I have never known a company with such excellent free support. SiteSell promised to respond to any queries within 4-6 hours during the day and 12 hours overnight. From my experience as a customer, and from my experience working at my job, I know they take this seriously. What’s more, customer support reports directly to the CEO of the company and the CEO personally reads and responds to all feedback about the quality of support. I challenge you to find another company of that size that can make a similar promise!

Now, does working for SiteSell make my opinion about SBI! biased, you may ask. Well, maybe a little. However, I was so convinced of the product in the first place that I absolutely wanted to join the company. I had no interest in a career at a company selling a second-rate product. I never had a customer support position before, and I know wouldn’t be good at dealing with unhappy customers, especially if I know they’re right. If I am to represent a company, I want to believe in it, and SiteSell was just the right company for me.

The Downsides

No review would be complete without a little healthy criticism. The one thing I sometimes miss is access to the CGI BIN. If you don’t know what the CGI BIN is, this probably doesn’t concern you. SBI! will not allow you to run scripts on their server and sometimes I wish I could. However, almost any functions that you may require are already integrated into SBI!, so most likely this won’t be an issue.

The next point is not really a criticism, but a warning: SBI! actually requires hard work. The focus in building a successful SBI! site is on creating valuable content. It takes time to create, but the e-books, the Action Guide and MYCPS!, will be an invaluable help. And the results are rewarding. I now get a nice supplemental income from this site and I regularly get e-mails from visitors telling me how much the information on my site has helped them.

Lastly, SBI! is not cheap. A one-year subscription currently sells for $399. Yearly renewals are $299. (Actually, as of this writing, SiteSell is running a special for $299 a year.) However, I made back the money I invested within less than 3 months and now get some extra cheques that are growing every month.

Is SBI! For You?

Whether you are thinking of starting an information site with income from affiliate programs and Google Adsense, you are a product seller or service provider, SBI! will boost your income if you follow the process. To see what SBI! can do for you, go to Who Gets The Most Out of SBI?
