I use Site Build It
to build an honest online business

I believe that there are people making a lot of money using the Internet. They are making the money because they are selling information products that "guarantee" to teach others how to make the same kind of money. Compelling products, high in demand.

The problem is, these information products teach other people to replicate the SAME products, SAME salesletter, SAME marketing instructions in order to sell to other people who want to make big bucks using the Internet.

That's like cloning. Remember Agent Smith in Matrix? Uncontrolled replication of Agent Smith threaten to crash the Matrix. In the same way, cloning create multiple salesletters and multiple sellers of the same information products in the marketplace. Up to a certain point saturation is reached and the "gurus" move on to create more similar products which they promise will be "the next big thing" in Internet Marketing.

Yes, I'm talking about information products like Google black book, Mark Warren's Ultimate Wealth Package, the Rich Jerk, Google cash and many more. Granted that there are people who bought their programs and systems and made money. But are these good ways to make money? I mean Google black book promises "brutal" techniques that they themselves describe as stealing.

I believe in Internet Marketing. I believe in building an honest online business. And I believe it is possible for an individual with little financial backing and Internet knowledge to build an honest online business.

In a traditional business with a shopfront, the all important factor is LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION.

In an online business, this changes to INFORMATION INFORMATION INFORMATION.

Not just any information. It is valuable in-demand information. Information people want! The good news is, different people need different information at different points in their lives. This is the information age. All of us need information.

And according to Site Build It, all of us have information that others need.

Can we leverage on this information and create our own information product in the form of a website?

Can we subsequently create an income from this website?


The answer is yes. Enter Site Build It - CTPM process.

Content - Traffic - Preselling - Monetization

Create valuable content that attracts visitors (traffic) that become warm prospects (presold) and later customers (monetized).

It is a simple honest process. It is not a quick system. It takes time to create valuable content, establish and build trust.

The approach and philosophy that Site Build It expounds resonates with me and the way I want to build my website and earn a living.

Day-by-Day SBI Action Guide

You can say Site Build It acts like a father teaching his kids how to do things right.

Once I bought the SBI website, I was instructed to read and study the SBI Action guide. The guide is organized into 10 days. Each day, I was told to do certain things. I could not wait to start building my website but I was asked to brainstorm this, analyze that. Day 1 actually took weeks. By the time I got to Day 4, more than a month has passed. It was tedious to me at that time.

From hindsight, now about 1 and a half years later, I knew I had been too impatient. If I had brainstormed and analyzed more, I could have found an even more profitable topic.

The SBI Action guide now comes in videos. Instead of reading, I can now click a button, sit back and enjoy a refresher whenever I want to. I can even choose between the female or male narrators.

Many Internet Marketing schemes promised step-by-step instructions but usually fall short of that promise. The Internet is a complicated space, it is not easy to come up with a good idea and set up a good website at the same time, especially for the non-IT savvy person like me.

If there are step-by-step instructions, you usually end up with a duplicate or replicate website which the search engines hate and you probably have to advertise like mad through word of mouth or spend money to buy adwords.

The SBI Action guide comes close to being step-by-step although there are certain tasks that require personal work. It is inevitable because we are building a personal website with personal information. I have come to regard the Day 1 to 5 process as a solid grounded market survey process, which is indispensable to success with a website in cyberspace.

SBI Forums

Fellow SBIers regularly meet at the SBI forums to seek help, exchange ideas, chit-chat or make friends. It is a wonderful community to fall back on whenever I need to. I can get tutorials, advice and see what others are doing. I also pay it forward by helping newly joined SBIers with their questions and doubts.

Technically Simple

There is no running away from building your website on your own. Okay, I was wrong. You can run away from designing and building by hiring someone to do it for you. You just provide the content. Oh, even that you can get someone to do it.

What I am trying to say is ... beside the website building part, the rest of the technical work is handled by Site Build it. Technical issues such as uploading to the web server, submitting to search engines, and collecting statistics. Site Build It handles all that. I don't have to think about it at all except naming my website. It is a breeze from other web hosting services. The server space given is also generous.

Free Resources

Site Build it offers many resources free. There are Master Courses ebooks on auctions, for hard good sellers, service providers, webmasters, work from home mums and Google Adsense strategies. Why pay for these ebooks when you can get it free. There is also the tips n techniques section where I can find short articles on strategies, techniques and secrets to making my website look better or be more profitable.

I chose Site Build it because it promises to help me

Find My Small Business (or Idea)
And Build a Web Site That Works


And I also liked this quotation they use on their website

"The biggest mistake people make in life is
not making a living at doing what they most enjoy."
~ Malcolm S. Forbes


For me, Site Build It is simply the best tool kit for aspiring webmasters. I want to spend my time creating a product that has lasting value. A product that after its creation can generate value for me even though I might not be working on it any more. Because the Internet is a 24x7 creature. It does not sleep. It is possible.

More importantly, I want to create something that can help others. Something that sends a positive vibe into cyberspace. And it is made possible by Site Build it.

If what I said here make sense to you, if you think you rather spend more time with your family than work 40 hours a week to bring home the bacon, and have a sense of satisfaction that you have helped some person out there, then consider the possibility, potential and power of an information product distributed over the Internet. Consider Site Build it.

Living Proof

If you need proof about the power of Site Build it, just take a look around this chinese soups website. Not too bad right?

If you search "homemade chinese soups" in Google, you will see this website up on the first page. I did not have to pay Google to show up, I followed the Action Guide. My website has been up since July 2006 and more than 20,000 visitors have visited. All without paid advertising.

I am cooking up my second website and it will be powered by Site Build it.

There are other more successful Site Build it website owners. There's Elad the Birthday Dad, Jim the Juggler, Scotch the Wildlife Photographer, Jim & Fiona the Tuscany Villas renters, Daryl the RC car expert and many more. You can check them out at sitesell results.

I told you that Site Build It offers many free resources. Here are some of them. Feel free to download, print and read.
