SBI - Is It "The Answer?"

*****FEATURED*****




As you know, I only recommend products/services that I have personally tried and tested. The second due diligence test, is to hand it over to you, the public, to comment and place your vote.


SBI passed all the criteria I set for a product and did very well during the public voting. I have also been using this product personally, for the last six months, with good results.

I have decided to make this product a "featured" item, as it is the highest performing and most genuine solution I have reviewed to date.

I'm not a sales person - but when something has a profound effect on me..... I like to tell others about it!

So.... I'll just get on with the review and give you a brief overview of it's features, benefits and performance


THE GOOD STUFF:

You get more than just a "site builder." You don't need to worry about looking for separate hosting, paying for a separate keyword research tool, handling site submissions, integrating auto responders, etc., etc. See the full list of features here

SBI! removes the technical barriers allowing you to keep your attention on building your business. Many functions are completely automated. You don't need to know anything upfront about building a Web site in order to succeed. The tedious, "under-the-hood" stuff is handled automatically so you can focus on other important business-building activities.

HOW IT WORKS:

The Action Guide presents a step-by-step process, presented in both written and video formats. All you have to do is follow it.

Continuous mentoring via the Action Guide and online help is always available. Learn by reading (written guide) or watching (video guide)! You are carefully guided every step of the way, which make success that much more do-able. Advanced help is also available (when you are ready for it), all designed to save you time and keep you moving forward.

Choosing your best site concept is not always as obvious as you might think. Brainstorm It! and Niche Choose It! show you the best path for your particular business, reveal some surprises, and help you make the right choice.

The Forums complete the picture. They are the most friendly, help-and-be-helped set of e-business forums I have come across. They helped me a lot when it came to making the right choices for my business.


THE TOOLS:

Page creation is as simple as riding a bike with its training wheels still attached. No need to know HTML. The block-by-block builder trains you how to write a page that is both "Search Engine and human effective." It's simple, do-able and most importantly, effective site-building. The block-by-block builder is perfect for beginners, but even many "advanced" users should start with this tool. It's an excellent way to break bad habits!

Search Engine spider/listing/ranking reports let you see how your pages are being handled by the Search Engines. You can see what pages rank best and drive traffic. Each report's insights help you to determine how to increase traffic and monetization. Most pros don't have easy and reliable access to this type of information.

SBI! includes Value Exchange (VE) for finding and managing high value inbound links (another criteria for ranking highly at the engines and building traffic). This automated inbound link-building tool saves time for what is otherwise a tedious time-sucker.

EXTRAS:

Automatic site blogging turns your site into a blog easily. You'll enjoy all the benefits of a blog without needing extra skills or additional software. For those experienced with blogging, auto-pinging for your SBI! blog keeps your site on the Search Engines' radar. All of this helps attract more traffic.

THE CONCEPT:

PREselling is a concept "invented" by SiteSell, part of the C T P M process. The concept is simple. As small business people, you do not have a brand name that is known and trusted. So you have to build that before you can monetize. Seems obvious, right? So few people do it, or they don't do it right, online.

Infin It! enables you to plug third party resources into your SBI! site. You can add forums, shopping carts, datafeeds, blogs and other server-side functionality. Infin It! brings you an SBI! site with no limits.


MOST IMPORTANTLY..........WHO IS BEHIND IT?

Before I made my own purchase, I did the usual research.

SBI! has a no-risk, 30-day money back guarantee.

SiteSell.com was established by Dr. Ken Evoy in 1997. His series of books (now free) have helped hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs and small businesses. Make Your Content PREsell! and Make Your Words Sell!, formerly books sold by SiteSell, are now free.


And then as a customer.....

I have noticed Ken Evoy provides a rare level of dedication to his customers. He's extremely active in the SBI! forums with over 5000 posts to date. He makes a tremendous personal effort to help people succeed and is highly passionate about helping people build businesses online.


TESTIMONIALS:

The testimonials all check out too......which makes a refreshing change ;)

"My goal was to build an online business that would generate an income equal (or greater, of course) to the salary I was earning. And also wouldn't be dependent on any country's economy (as my country's economy is in shambles...)."

"It's been over a year now since I started my first website, which ranks within the top 1% of sites on the net and receives up to 1500 visitors per day. I now have a second site, and plans for a third before the summer of this year. I no longer work from home in the evenings and my income is constantly growing. Right now, it's double what I was making when I was standing behind a chair."

"Then when I got home two weeks later the mailbox was full of checks from my various writing related income streams! If only such a business model had been available 20 years ago! I would have dropped that mind-numbing paycheck-to-paycheck government career a lot sooner than I did."

"I told my husband about my SBI! discovery. I had to get the purchase approved by my husband since I had (ummmurrrhhhh!!) wasted so much money already on programs that did not work."

So........Any Bad Points?

As the old saying goes....."if it sounds too good to be true........" I stick by this phrase all the time. In this business, it can save you losing a lot of money.

I hate to admit it......but I was quite disappointed when I couldn't find any dirt on this company....hehe

I suppose the only downside that could be classed as a bad point is the price. Having to pay quite a high sum up front, could possibly put some people off.

However, I suppose if you think about it...

All the tools and services you're getting would cost a lot more if purchased separately.

The fact that you are paying for a year of business building - which works out to be less than the cost of a cup of coffee a day

You could easily spend a lot more than that - on the usual scams over the course of a year

If you're a bit lazy, or just can't find enough time, to set up an online business, you can pay an SBI specialist to "Do it for me" and it's still cheaper than online business ventures like, say, Liberty League for example.

Once you've purchased SBI, you don't have to buy any other bells and whistles. You have an all in one online business package - and you don't have to know a thing about web design, sales, marketing, traffic building etc, because it's all included.

.....considering these points, it puts things into a little more perspective and might ease people's worries. Plus...when I bought mine, they had a sale on and I got a discount. Nothing like a discount to help you make up your mind ;)

So.....it looks as though they're few and far between.....but a profitable and honest WAH/online business opportunity can be found out there after all..........if you look hard enough.
