Site Build It Review

Site Build-It, was created by Dr Ken Evoy, a Canadian MD with an entrepeneural streak.

It is an online site builder set of tools which help novice and experienced internet marketers alike with building a website that works in attracting targeted visitors to a content-rich niche site.

The Site Build It software allows you to either create a website from scratch using the online block-by-block building tools or you can upload your own HTML files to their servers.

Its power doesn't only lie in its software components though; when you buy Site Build-It you get access to an immense online library of best practices to build not only a website, but a successful business.
My first website was built through Site Build It after I read a Sitesell review (Sitesell is the company which markets Site Build-It) and is still profitably online today.

Let's investigate what you can get out of Site Build It.

Price

'How much does it cost to build a web site ?'
At the time of going to press, it would cost you US$ 299 per year to own an SBI site.
This works out to less than US$ 25 per month.
(This excludes purchasing a domain name, usually less than US$ 10 per year and having an ISP account to handle your emails.)
They have regular specials where you can buy 2 sites for the price of US$ 399, so if you have a friend who wants to start
affiliate marketing with you, this is how you can reduce the cost.
Have a look at the components below to decide if the price is worth it.

Action guide

Whether you buy Site Build It or not, you can (and should) follow the steps in their Action Guide to build your online business.
It presents a clear step by step guideline in both written and video formats for you to follow.
By following the steps (or days as they call it in the Action Guide), you cannot do anything else but be successful in your venture.
There is so much information out there (and in Site Build-It's own library) that it is easy to get sidetracked.
By sticking to the steps outlined in the Action Guide, you will stay on course to reach your goals.

Niche research

Probably the most powerful tool in SBI's arsenal is the 'Brainstorm It' tool.
It's a keyword brainstorming and research tool which helps you ensure that your site concept has profit potential.
By using it, you are spared making mistakes early on in your site's life and are helped to find topics in your niche that will attract targeted (clicking) traffic.

Site Building

You can use SBI's block-builder site building tool, or simply upload your own HTML to the SBI servers.
The block-by-block builder makes building a webpage as easy as riding a bike with training wheels.
There is absolutely no need to know any HTML.
You will be trained and helped to write a website that is both human-friendly and search engine optimized.
There are a surprising number of experienced webmasters in the SBI forums who acknowledge that they still prefer the block-by-block builder.

Search Engines and Traffic

SBI creates a sitemap xml file for your site automatically and updates it each time you add or update a page and then pings the 4 major search engines automatically.
This is a real time saver.
You wil also be encouraged to use the RSS-blog it feature, where an RSS XML file is created and updated automatically every time you update your website and/or blog and again, automatic pinging is included.
This is an advanced traffic building method that will bring visitors to your site automatically.
Another great feature is the Value Exchange engine where you can find link partners with whom you can exchange reciprocal links, which builds more credibility in the search engines' eyes.

And another time-saver: SBI gives you the tools to build lists to optimize your e-mail marketing methods and manages those emails for you.
The repeat exposure that an email campaign (based on an e-zine subscription model) brings, is a proven method to improve conversion rates.

Does Site Build It work ?

You only have to look at the SBI reviews and SBI feedback to get a feel of how successful you can be when using SBI.
The fact that they have managed to get their users to be so publicly positive about the product speaks for itself.
The top SBI'er is coming close to getting 1 million unique visitors a month across his 5 related sites.
(and he features regularly on the SBI forums so he is a real person..)

Community

After the 'University-level' education I got from reading all the material on the site, I would rate the SBI forums as the next-best thing about SBI.
They are an active community of like-minded people who provide help and support to each other about all aspects of SBI.
I recently read a post from one of the members that she has been invited to feature her site and work on Oprah !
The creator, Ken Evoy is also a regular poster on the forums and shows a strong commitment to his clients.
He has over 5000 posts.

Education

The problem with the internet marketing field is the vast amount of information that is floating around.
There is no way to keep up with it all and no way of knowing what is relevant and what is hype.
SBI helps out by providing you with relevant information in the various 'Head Quarters'
(For example "Traffic building", "Tips and Techniques", "Resources", "Monetization")
This means that you do not need to do any other outside reading except for information related to your business and lets you keep your focus on building your online business.

Risk

If you are unsure about SBI, you can use their no-risk 30-day money back guarantee.
I would advise you to visit their website and gather as much information as possible about SBI, the Action Guide and whatever material you can get your hands on before purchasing SBI.
That way, you will be in an informed position to request your refund and will not have run out of the 30-day money-back guarantee period.

Drawbacks.

The only thing I don't like about SBI is that it takes a lot of reading and then some more reading to come to grips with all that you need to know to get started on your site.
You certainly don't need to read everything, you can just stick to the Action Guide, but if you want to make sure that you don't miss out on a single thing,
then the volumes of information available sure take up a lot of time to get through.
The positive side is that once you have gotten over the learning curve, setting up a second site is much faster.

Conclusion

Sitesell and SBI continuously preach a tortoise approach to building an online business.
As a matter of fact, a tortoise is their mascot and symbol.
They advise you to forget about Get-Rich-Quick schemes and keep you from getting distracted by hype and tools that just end up costing you money without benefits.
So, if you have ambition, patience and time,
you have just found the most guaranteed hype-free way to build an online business.
