Site Build It Review
This is a
review of
Site Build It, a
suite of tools for web site and web business building.
SBI contains
all the
tools needed
to build a successful web site, as well as mountains of advice, from
a ten “day” (actually ten step) guide on building a successful
website, to a tips and techniques section, to a helpful user forum.
Site Build It
regularly analyses the
performance of SBI sites, and they state that 35% of SBI sites are in
the top 1% of all websites, while 62% are in the top 3%. Quite
impressive! You won't make a fortune overnight though,
with SBI actively stating that it takes time to build a successful
website.
Who It's For
Site Build It
is
designed for newbies
and experienced web site builders alike, with newbies being lead by
the hand through the building process, and experienced webmasters
benefiting from productivity improvements.
How Easy Is It To Use?
Site Build It has been specifically designed to be used by web site
building newbies, to enable them to build a successful website. The SBI
team has done a great job in making the whole process easy and
understandable.
The technical aspects of site building have been automated needing
either no input from the user, or input to set systems up with
automation doing the job after that. Full instructions at every step
means the job is as easy as it's likely to get.
The page builder is easier than a wysiwyg software program. (See my Site Build It
page builder review)
The SBI emphasis is on successful
sites, and building a successful site takes more a lot more effort than
merely "putting up a site". Each step by itself is relatively easy, but
it still takes dedication and effort over a period of time to reap the
rewards. But that is the nature of success.
Customer Feedback
Some comments from Site Build It! users.
"Despite having
to build slowly, due to
a very demanding job, my family has thoroughly enjoyed the extra
$500-$1200 a month that we've earned consistently from the site."
Portion of comment from SBI user
Michael Boyter on associate programs.com.
"I used to
build websites using Front
Page until I discovered Site Build It. This is an all encompassing
web hosting, SEO optimizing, ecommerce model. It
costs $299/year or $29.99/month
paid in one lump sum payment, but it is by far the best web host for
creating successful online businesses."
Portion of comment from John Howe on
Mac Forums.

Using Site Build It
First of all, building a successful
website takes time and effort, there's just no getting away from it.
Site Build It minimizes the effort needed on the technical
site-building level, and puts a lot of emphasis on using the correct
web
site building process
to maximize targeted visitors.
Apart from having fun exploring
the SBI interface at "Site Central", about the first thing the new user
needs to do is read (or watch) the action guide
that breaks the site
building process into 10 days (really 10 steps).
The first five
days are preparation, understanding the concept behind a
successful site that generates lots of targeted visitors in a
warm, willing to buy mindset. Actually building the site doesn't start
until day six.
The steps are:
- Day 1 - Understanding the
Content-Traffic-Presell-Monetize fundamentals
- Day 2 - Using keyword research to find your
best site concept
- Day 3 - Using keyword research to find
profitable topics for your best site concept
- Day 4 - Investigating and planning monetization
of your site
- Day 5 - Refining your site concept and
registering your domain name
- Day 6 - Start building your website
- Day 7 - Building free traffic from the search
engines
- Day 8 - Building relationships with visitors -
blogging, RSS, social networking, newsletter
- Day 9 - Uing your website stats to improve your
site and profitability
- Day 10 - Monetize it - making the money
That
is the process in a nutshell. It may seem drawn out compared to just
diving in and starting building, but it works. The most successful
SBI'ers say
they just put on blinkers and followed the action guide.
If you read or watch
the action guide you'll have a good idea of how SBI works and how to
use the various components.
