Using services like SBI vs. free/cheap

[loxley]

Now that summer is over and the kids are going back to school , I think I'm ready to start "something" in this field. I've been researching and reading, which can be overwhelming because there is so much info.

I don't have thousands to put into this, but I have enough money to invest. But I want to make sure I spend it wisely. I have built websites using Yahoo's Sitebuilder and it's really cheap and easy. Plus, I know there are free options as well. But what about SBI? I've seen their promo's and it seems like the added cost would be justified since I'm new to all this.

Is using a service like SBI a better option if you can afford to pay a higher price?

thanks

Hi there Loxley

I'm not going to post MY affiliate link for SBI here, so you will know this is sincere. SBI is tops, BUT... only if you work it. You must follow the 10 day action plan to the letter, and keep at it. I promise you, you will not regret it.

SBI is the ONLY solution, that lets you focus on building a successful business, and take away the pain of struggling with all the technical stuff.

I highly recommend it as the best option available, and hope you will go ahead and make the investment. It will the best investment you have ever made.

Regards

Louise

P.S I have two SBI sites, if you join, look for me in the forum.

SBI is the best investment you could make. Very true. I absolutely love it, it's a lot of fun and, if you take it like any serious business, you're sure to make some good money.

Find a niche that you really enjoy and work it for all it's worth!

Hi superfamilyfun,

Welcome to 5 Star and thanks so much for sharing your feedback about SBI.
We hope you'll jump into some of our other discussions too.

loxley, SBI one of the only products I recommend in my affiliate resources section and I really believe in it based on the feedback I get from affiliates. But since I don't have a reason to personally use it I'm glad these guys weighed in with their personal experience.

Thanks Tony!

Hello Loxley,

Ken Evoy's Site Build It! is certainly one of the best online web designing services out there. Of course, I highly recommend it. I too have researched it and read most of Ken's free eBooks--certainly a guy that over delivers like me.

I plan on buying SBI! in the near future but I'm working in steps. There is so much to learn and you should consider the following:

I want to open your mind to some of things I've already researched, while trying to work in steps. Hopefully, this will give you some insight and want to explore all options. Decide which step you should partake in first.

Before you purchase SBI!, remember you must pay $299.00 per year per site you build. And you already know that hosting costs is already included. With two sites you are ruffly paying around $600.00 per year. But suppose you wanted to build many quick 1-5 page minisite to sell affiliate products to earn quick monthly income.

Although hosting may not be included (it can be cheap), this is another option to consider making income--quick building minisites. Now if you already have your own product or service to promote, you should go with SBI!. It's great for for that and for newbies, as well as the skilled marketer who don't want to do the technical work. And you also know SBI! includes all the tools need to market your site.

On the other hand, if you wanted a site up and running quickly, minisites are best.

Now here are some questions for you...

1. How are your Internet marketing skills?
2. Did you research eBay yet?
3. Do you know that you don't necessarily need a website to make money?
4. Do you understand affiliate programs and niche marketing?
5. Are you considering a mentor such as Key Evoy?
6. Do you have your own product or know what [in deman] products/services to sell?
7. Are you familiar with the best programs with different approaches to making money online?
8. Do you know who's the best copywriter on the Net today that can help you?
9. Have joined any expert marketer's newletter yet?

These were some of the questions I had to address and find answers. And believe me when I say this... the bottom-line is finding a proven successful system, a formula if you will, for each component of Internet marketing and website building that absolutely makes what you are trying to do work.

Learning Internet marketing the right way is key and vital to ones success, if building wealth is the desired goal.

Personally, I want the overall knowledge and skills to tap into the Internet's total marketplace. This includes making money from PPC search engines such as Googles, MSN and Yahoo!, as well as eBay's marketplace. I have found, researched and purchased some software tools and eBooks to make all of this happen.

So my suggestion to you is keep researching. But remember there are many experts in their chosen field, which you must find. Each of their products are specifically designed to help you advance your home-based Internet business to another level.

For instance, you may want to search who has the best eBay website store. eBay or another merchant? Who sells the best keyword tool for your type of marketing? Who's the best copywriter you can learn from to help you write your sales copy?. Who has the best Internet marketing course that will help you gain the necessary skills quickly? Choosing your experts wisely or brain trust if you will, only enhances your skills to maximize the profits from the Internet's giant marketplace, worldwide.

And remember, automation, learning conversation rates, clickthrough, ROI, etc are essential to ones business. It all boils down to scientific methods and formulas that have made many people successful. That's why you should find a few experts in their chosen field to put all of this together.

In conclusion, definitely go with SBI! if you are going to build a larger site. Go with minisites to build quick easy affiliate sites and to make quick monthly residual incomes. Find the best Internet marketing course and know your experts. The ones that have made millions and created quite a buzz over the Internet.

If all of this seems overwhelming, then again just stick with SBI! - grow and learn from Ken. Afterwords, branch out... there's a lot to learn.

Thanks for the info. I think it's a great point that SBI may not be great for minisites. That makes sense to me.

I've had a really long weekend including many Girl Scouts and soccer games , but I'm going to really review your suggestions on Monday.

Thanks again,

Loxley
