If you believe that, then I’m guessing you’re willing to spend hundreds (maybe even thousands) of dollars on those get rich quick (GRQ) systems that promise you the moon for very little work. In fact, you’ll make money while you sleep… all without spending a dime! If you believe that malarkey, then I have some nice swampland in Florida I’d like to sell you…

Hey, Site Build It has never pretended to be a GRQ system. In fact, Dr. Ken Evoy tells you that over and over in the pages of his site. That’s not the market SiteSell is trying to target. Why? Because people who want something for nothing are usually not willing to put the work into building a real business…  that really works.

Site Build It is founded upon the niche content model. What’s that? Well, it’s a model that says if you build plenty of engaging, high quality, original content around a specific niche, then free traffic will flow to it… and you’ll build a business that makes you money for the long term. It’s a proven model that many gurus will tell you works. It’s not a new or cutting edge idea, but it’s completely solid.

And yes, it DOES take time to build a website business using the niche content model. You’ve got to have at least 30 to 50 pages of at least 150 words each to even get in the game. More than that is better, and it helps if you add new content on a regular basis. So, it’s work, lots of it.

But, let me ask you something… Doesn’t any successful business take work?

The answer is a no-brainer… of course it does!

The Myth of Shortcuts

You may have read on other sites that it is possible to make lots of money by building a free WordPress blog with other people’s content (either through scraped RSS feeds or by posting resell rights content). And yes, it is possible to make money using that model… just not for very long. See, the search engines like Google and Yahoo don’t really like those types of sites. You might get ranked for a while, but sooner or later the SEs will realize there’s nothing unique about your content, and they’ll dump you to the bottom of search results listings.

Believe me, I know… I’ve tried that model too. It just doesn’t work that well. You have to keep starting over in new niches every few months to stay ahead of the game. And isn’t that work too?

Another shortcut is to outsource, hire others to build your content for you. SBI certainly doesn’t prohibit this, but the bottom line is that the most successful content sites are ones that establish a connection with their visitors, because of the unique “voice” of the site’s owner… you.

Building a Site Build It Website DOES Take Time

Building a website with Site Build It is going to take at least a few weeks of dedicated work. You simply can’t throw up a site overnight, not if you expect it to succeed. I’ve built more than 10 websites with SBI (for myself and others), and I’m a fast writer. But still, it takes hours and hours of work. But if you’ve chosen your niche wisely to be something you’re interested in or knowledgeable about, it becomes largely a labor of love.

You just keep chipping away at it, and before you know it, you have more than 100 pages of solid, quality content! It might sound overwhelming, but here’s the good news…

The SBI Action Guide takes you through a step-by-step process that teaches you what to do, why to do it that way, and how to do it. They leave nothing uncovered. And, if you learn better by seeing or listening, the Action Guide comes in a video format as well. In the near future, you may even be able to download it to your iPod or iPhone!

Proof the Niche Content Model Works

Don’t believe in the value of this model? Would some real life results help you buy into the need to work hard and take your time as tradeoffs for your ultimate success? Would a few real live case studies help convince you? You’ll find them here, in every type of business, from service sellers, to infopublishers, to affiliate marketers, to MLM businesspeople:

SBI Case Studies

“My online success means so much more to me than money. The fulfillment I feel in my own life and the example I’m setting for my kids far outweighs the dollars (although dollars will always be welcome!). My boys are growing up with the knowledge that they really can achieve their dreams if they’re willing to have faith in themselves and take action in their lives. Then all it takes is some dedication and hard work, which is easy to muster when you’re doing something you love! … Oh yeah, and SBI! of course.”

I’ve been working hard on my SBI sites for 4 years now, and it’s paid off. I make enough to pay my mortgage and most of my monthly bills now from the monetization on my SBI websites, and it’s getting better all the time. You don’t have to be a writer either to succeed with an SBI niche content site. You just have to be able to write like you talk.

So, yes, Site Build It is a lot of work and success doesn’t come overnight… but if you work the system and are patient, success WILL come!

• “It’s OK for your first site, but then you will want to move on.”
• “Not for professionals, I don’t need it. I can do it all myself.”
• “SBI is too simplistic.”

. But here’s the thing… it’s just not true.

I’ve been building websites and running a successful web-based business since 1998, so I think you’d have to agree I am definitely NOT a newbie. And yet… I LOVE SBI and it is my preferred platform for building niche content sites. I know how to code in HTML and use CSS style sheets, but still… I prefer SBI. There has to be good reasons for that, and so that’s what I’ll cover in this post…

The Case of the SBI Block by Block Page Builder

Site Build It offers a way to build a web page that requires no technical knowledge or HTML coding, and at the same time teaches you the elements of web page building, including search engine optimization (SEO), writing content that connects with the reader and linking strategies between pages on your site. It’s kind of a building blocks metaphor. You choose different types of blocks, such as:

• Headline block
• Text block
• Text link block
• Graphic block
• Divider block
• Form block

… and bit by bit, you construct a web page. No messing around with code or styles… it’s a great way for a new webmaster to learn. Later on, if they want, they can incorporate bits of code to “jazz up” their pages, if they wish. But we tech-savvy webmasters like the block builder too!

Although a couple of my SBI websites are uploaded, most of them were built using the block by block page builder. You really can’t beat its ease of use. If they would just add some WYSIWYG capabilities (for code free bolding, color changes, font sizes, etc.), as well as an AdSense block, I figure the block builder would be almost perfect. And here’s the good news… a major overhaul to the system is about to be rolled out at this writing, so all those things just might be part of it!

It’s Easy to Transition From BlockBuilder to Uploading Your Own Coded Pages

If you do get to the point, though, where you want to use an external HTML editor like Dreamweaver or Coffee Cup so that you’ll have flexibility in design, etc., no problem. It’s super easy to transition over to uploading your pages through Site Build It’s Web FTP module. No, it’s not quite as easy to use as true FTP, but it does work, once you get used to it.

So, the block builder might be thought of as the training wheels to help you transition (as you skill and knowledge grows) to doing it all yourself… or, like me, you might just stick with the block builder for good. Either way, you can still make use of SBI’s powerful SEO analyzer that tells you how to optimize your page on a variety of different factors.

SBI Is NOT Just Hosting… It’s an All-in-One-Spot Suite of Tools

Along the same lines as SBI is only for newbies is the idea that it’s just a basic product, that more experienced webmasters would find limiting or infantile. Again, this isn’t true, but it IS hard to truly understand all that SBI offers unless you actually try it out.

Look at the SiteBuildIt Tools page to get an idea of all that is included. Bottom line? SBI is always on top of the latest knowledge and trends, and when it makes sense, they roll out a new module or a new set of step by step instructions that will enable SBI webmasters to stay on top of their businesses.

It’s not only incredibly convenient, but it’s also more cost effective. Instead of having to go out and buy a bunch of add-ons, or at least to root out the free ones, SBI has them all in one place for you, as part of your original package. It’s all just so efficient.

The SBI! Forums are full of top-notch professionals who “see the light” and try SBI!. They adapted to a different way of doing things and invariably end up saying, “Sure, I suppose I could do all this by using third party tools and so forth. But why in the world would I want to?

IMPORTANT: A site’s success does not lie in the building and hosting of a site. The power of SBI! is in the CTPM process that is executed by all the tools you need all in one spot.
