How I Built This Site

And How to Create Your Own

Income-Generating Website

 

After I left my corporate job, I really did a lot of soul searching on what I wanted to do next.  Because I loved the idea of having freedom in all areas of my life, I naturally gravitated toward creating my own online business. 

An Internet business would give me the freedom to live anywhere, work anywhere, and travel anywhere I wanted!  It would also fulfill my desire to do work that utilized my talents, aligned with my values, and made a positive contribution to the world.

Being single, I knew that I had one of the most important components for building a successful online business – lots of unencumbered free time.  It seemed like a perfect match!

I started learning about the Internet and website design through a few university courses I took in 1997.  I began building my first online businesses over several years beginning in 2000.  Each of them produced very little traffic or income.

In early 2008, I was shocked to learn that 99% of new Internet businesses fail!  I had to admit to myself that I was a part of this group… until I discovered Site Build It!

The difference with Site Sell, and the Site Build It product, from all other hosting companies is its enormous educational features, its cutting-edge behind the scenes technology, and its outstanding support mechanisms.

I transferred Solotopia.com to Site Build It (SBI) in March of 2008.  I saw more traffic to this site during the first eight (8) months with SBI than I did during the prior seven (7) years put together!  And all of the traffic was produced for free!  SBI shows you how to generate traffic without spending a dollar on advertising! SBI has proven to be the perfect online business partner for me. 

I started building a new SBI website in mid 2009 called Guru Habits.com.  Although I moved Solotopia to another hosting company (Blue Host) so I could concentrate my resources on Guru Habits.com, the training and site building technology that I received from SBI has enable me to create a rock solid foundation for Solotopia.  I’ve had an account at Blue Host since 2004 and currently have several websites hosted by them.  Although Blue Host is outstanding, it is a completely different service than SBI.  If I could, I’d have all my websites at SBI.  There is one thing that I know for sure.  I will definitely have more SBI websites in the future.

One of the best things about Site Build It is that fits everyone from the beginner to the seasoned veteran.  They also have a great affiliate program. The thing I like most about SBI is its philosophy of keeping things real and honest.

How is Site Build It Different?

The biggest challenge to building a successful online business is learning and staying up with all the technology needed to generate traffic. An online business cannot succeed without traffic (customers). The great thing about Site Build It is that they handle most of the things needed to do this automatically!Site Build It!

Site Build It’s all-in-one package removes the need to stay up with technology so that you can keep your attention on building your business. There’s no need to purchase a lot of difference software or hire outside services. Everything is included. And the cost is kept down because they write all their own software.

The SBI process for building an online business is simplified to such a degree that success (i.e., profits, not the mere presence of a website) is achievable even for a beginner. Page creation is as simple as riding a bike with its training wheels still attached. You don’t need to know HTML.

For an experienced person, achieving success is even smoother. Since Site Build It is compatible with popular HTML editors (ex., Dreamweaver, FrontPage), you can easily use advanced page building techniques, if you like.

The advantage of Site Build It is that it provides the technical solutions to help reduce your chances of making mistakes. Where it cannot provide a technical solution, it provides clear instructions and education to help you succeed.

Site Build It also keeps you well informed and motivated. Their newsletter keeps you up-to-date on new SBI features, current best practices, and important additions to their knowledge base. They track what's happening in the world of e-business (over 100 feeds, blogs, e-zines), so you don't have to. This makes it easy for you to focus on your business without worrying that you're missing important opportunities.

The Site Build It members-only forum is the most supportive and motivating online community I have ever known. These private forums provide friendly, helpful support from other SBI 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.

Keeping you on course and keeping you motivated is a predominate theme in Site Build It communications, information sources, and training materials. This is all being lead by the SBI founder, Dr. Ken Evoy (video below), a former emergency room physician and professor. Ken is passionate about helping people build successful online businesses so that they can have true freedom for themselves. You can feel his sincerity and enthusiasm in every communication and forum posting. One indication of his commitment is the fact that there are over 5,400 posts by him in the forum (11/08).

 

Is Site Build It For You?

If you are already running a successful online business that is making you thousands of dollars a month, you don’t necessarily need Site Build It. If this is your situation, I would strongly suggest that you join the SBI affiliate program, which will give you an extra passive income stream. To learn more about it, scroll to the bottom of this page, or visit their Affiliate Center directly.

If you're new to online business, or if you've tried and failed, or if you're stuck trying to build traffic and generate income, then you should definitely take a look at Site Build It!

If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to build an online business then Site Build It is not for you. Those get rich quick schemes that you see advertised don’t work. True, honest, stable business does not work that way.

The truth is that building a successful online business using Site Build It is a lot of hard work. Why? Because of the incredible education you receive at the beginning. SBI is the only product that takes the time to prepare you to build a profitable business, before you jump into building your site. For the beginner, your learning curve will be shorter and you'll bypass any show-stopping errors. For those experienced in website building, SBI will deepen your level of understanding.Site Build It!

How Do You Get Started?

I encourage you to look into Site Build It to see if it makes sense for you.  I recommend that you start at the Site Build It home page, watch the 2 ½ minute video, and then follow whichever links interest you.

The 30-minute video tour is a must! It will really clarify everything for you. Or if you use a dial-up Internet service look at the quick tour slide show. I think you'll find this information educational even if you only have a minor interest in starting your own online business.

If you really want to do your homework, I suggest checking out some of the success story videos submitted by Site Build It users as well as the in-depth SBI case studies. If you have any questions about SBI, you can submit them via the questions form.

Site Build It comes with a money-back guarantee, so there's no risk to try it for yourself. You can test drive it for 30 days and get a full refund if you don't like it.

The cost for one full year of Site Build It is $299, which works out to about $25 per month. If I add up all the education, services, and advice, I honestly feel that I’ve received much more than what I paid.

Learn Site Build It in an Online Class with a Live Instructor

If prefer classroom learning with a real instructor as opposed to learning from educational materials on your own, I'd strongly recommend you take advantage of SBI eLearning to create your Site Build It website.

SBI eLearning is a structured 12-week online course that guides you through the process of building and launching your own income-generating online business.  By the time you complete the course, you'll have an online business that's already up and running.

This is a real college-level course. It's already taught at more than 25 colleges and learning institutions around the world. You can complete the whole course from the comfort of your own home. You just need access to a computer with an Internet connection.

To learn more visit the SBI eLearning website.

Let Site Sell Experts Build Your Site for You

Site Sell Services is a "turn-key" solution for people who don't have the time to create a website themselves.  This approach is perfect for aspiring Internet business owners and offline business owners who don't have any hours to spare, the technical know-how, or the inclination to create a website.

Whether you have no website, an embarrassing looking site, or a sharp looking one that nobody visits, Site Sell Services can create a website that works!  And you can rest assured that Site Sell Services will keep your site on cutting edge of technology.

Here’s a Great Alternative if SBI Doesn’t Fit Your Budget or Needs

You can find good hosting companies that offer a list of features for less money, but I do not know of one that provides the education, unique marketing technology, and support systems that Site Build It does. And I’ve done extensive research several times over the years to find the best. But if SBI does not fit your budget or your needs, I have a great alternative for you.Bluehost.com Web Hosting $6.95

If you have limited experience and you just want to build websites to refer your customers, prospects, associates, employees, members, friends, and/or family to without the need to generate traffic, I would strongly recommend Blue Host or Host Monster.

If you have advanced online business experience and you know how to use the extensive array of tools that these hosts provide to build a complex website and generate traffic, I would strongly recommend Blue Host or Host Monster to you as well.

Blue Host and Host Monster are owned by the same company. Both are top-rated, award-winning hosts. Their list of features are almost identical. The most significant difference is that Blue Host has been in business a lot longer.

I’ve had an account at Blue Host since 2004. I currently have several websites hosted by them. Blue Host has consistently provided outstanding customer service and they are continually increasing the capabilities of their services.

Blue Host and Host Monster offer unlimited domains, unlimited space, and unlimited transfer all on one (1) account for $6.95 per month if you pay for two (2) years in advance. That works out to be $166.80, which is a fabulous deal if you consider that each account includes unlimited (website) domains.

These services (including SBI) offer one (1) free domain registration with each account. If you want to add more domains to your account at Blue Host or Host Monster, go with the award-winning, top-rated domain registrar called Go Daddy. I’ve had an account at Go Daddy since 2003 and I currently have several domain names registered through them. Go Daddyhas the best deal and it has outstanding customer service.

Is Site Build It’s Affiliate Program for You?

Site Build It has a very generous affiliate program, so if you already have a website and are looking for new income sources, this one is very solid for several reasons.

First, you continue to earn residual commissions when each referral you generate renews their annual subscription. Secondly, Site Build It has a two-tier affiliate program, meaning that you also earn commissions on sales generated by affiliates you refer. Thirdly, unlike some less sophisticated programs, they have an extremely robust tracking system to make sure you're fairly credited for your referrals. And fourthly, they support their affiliates with a newsletter, detailed tracking tools, ad generators, members-only forums, and more.

You can become a Site Build It affiliate even if you never purchase a SBI subscription for yourself. This is great for people who already have a successful online business. And again, you also benefit from each new affiliate who joins from your affiliate links.

If you're interested in learning more about the Site Build It affiliate program, visit their Affiliate Center. It's free to sign-up as an affiliate.Site Build It!

Here’s the list of links about Site Build It that I included in this article along with a few extras.

I wish I had discovered Site Build It back in 2000 when I first started learning about online business. If I had, I would be typing this on a laptop computer while sitting on some beautiful island beach in the South Pacific or the Caribbean!

I strongly recommend that you look at Site Build It if you want to have a successful online business.
